I like it but it needs work

I work with students that have severe to profound communication deficits and PODD books are being used. This is easy to navigate and not as confusing as the books. Two things, (1) it would be great if this could be purchased for a set amount (like TD snap, TouchChat) and loaded onto an iPad to be used for children. (2) When going to categories > alphabet, you don’t have a ‘go to main page’ button. You’re stuck in alphabet. I had to close out the app and then reopen it. Again, I like it but there are things I’d change. In my job, PODD books aren’t favorites but this makes them easier. Overall, 4 stars

Hi mommaTommie. Thank you for your positive review and feedback. We are happy to hear simPODD is making PODD books easier for you and your students. We do understand your desire for a one-off purchase. Please know our aim is to balance the need for sustainable, continuous development and support with affordability. We also offer 5-year plans that are suitable for insurance. If you would like to discuss this further, please email us at support@assistiveware.com. Regarding your second point, when you are on the Alphabet page, you can tap on “spelling edit and controls”. You can find a button to go back to the main page here. If you have any other questions or simply want to learn more about simPODD, you will find lots of helpful information at the simPODD Support section on our website. https://www.assistiveware.com/support/simpodd/overview

Autistic adult

I am an autistic woman who was originally nonverbal and forced to speak in different therapies. They would drill me to repeat different phrases but I felt like I was saying nothing because I was just repeating what other people wanted me to say. I use all of the different assistiveware apps in different communication situations. They listened to autistic people and converted our natural dialect and communications into apps that really work for us. For the first time since I was seven years old, I finally found my authentic autistic voice. I am myself again. Thank you autistic community and thank you assistiveware.

Would be great to see this wonderful AAC app available to download to a mobile phone also. Would take away multiple steps for the user in being able to send text messages

Hi Kiefee and thank you for your awesome five star review. We are glad you are using the app to the extent you are sending text messages - that is wonderful to hear! We understand that this would be easier on an iPhone and will log this request with our product team for future discussion.

Really good but I love it
