Needs a speech option
This is a great app that really increases safety for those of us who have occasional aphasia, whether due to autistic shutdowns, stroke, migraines or whatever reason. I don’t lose speech often, but having this on my phone does make me feel safer.
However, what if the person you’re trying to communicate with is illiterate? One time I used my iPad (before I ever heard of this app) to communicate when I had utterly lost my voice due to laryngitis, but the person I was trying to order fried chicken from couldn’t read. I mean, this is comic because no one dies for lack of chicken, but a speech option where your device speaks for you could really help.

THANK YOU
Thank you so much for creating this app, I suffer with anxiety/BPD and get bouts of selective mutism and it’s so annoying trying to communicate this with people around me. This makes it much simpler to communicate with them.
Perfect!
Not only am I autistic, but I also have frequent panic attacks and flashbacks after being a little traumatized. Since I am nonverbal when these ‘episodes’ occur, I find this app perfect. It is easy to use, self explanatory, and useful. I don’t have a single complaint. This is an awesome app, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has nonverbal ‘episodes’.
Thanks!
Thanks!

OMGS THANKYOU
I literally just had a really bad shutdown last night because of my anxiety and couldn't talk for hours. A lot of my friends don't sign (I do) and that made it really hard to communicate with them - it's been an issue in my life for a really long time and I'm so freaking glad I found this app!
It's literally what I've been needing and I love that the message screen is customizable so that I can explain what's happening to me specifically. I wish I'd had this last night!
THANKYOU.

Awesome!
Thanks heaps for making this incredible app. I suffer from chronic panic attacks and it's hard when people don't know what's going on and normally makes it worse. This will help a lot!!
Panic Disorders
I have a panic disorder which means I get panic attacks a lot. Usually I can't hear clearly or speak in a panic attack but this app helps me communicate with people around me to get me in a place where I can recover. I would definitely recommend this to others with panic disorders.
Perfect - simple and flexible
Short and to the point. Allows me to advance-plan the most important information I want to tell someone else if I am having an autism meltdown. Forward planning like this is so important as I become minimally functional when heavily sensory overloaded. Even if I'm unable to have a 2 way conversation, I can now convey my primary need with two swift simple operations. Thank you.

Thank you!!!
Whenever i get an anxiety attack, i cannot talk but i can type. This app is a lifesaver for communication during these times, thank you!!
Great little app!
Basic idea but still has a variety of uses. I plan to recommend this to a friend with hearing loss.
