Does not do what it says
You can create your own board but then it won't save it!!! So that is pretty useless. Good for the premade boards but if you want to make your own, forget it.
Great aac app to try with students
I like this application. You can edit your own boards, link between boards, share boards using email... Since you record your own voice, you can use this app for any language. You can use the pictures of the application or your own photos.
What I would suggest for next updates :
being able to erase the pre-made boards if we don't use it ;
choosing a default board the application open with.

Sounding board has lost it's simplicity
I also am discouraged with the update. It does not present all the choices for layout at the initial screen. I cannot figure out how to choose a layout for a simple board. I will probably delete this and look for another.

Great App!
I am using this app for my seven year old that has DiGeorge Syndrome (22q11.2), global developmental delays and cortical visual impairment. I love to have the ability to customize boards for him for home and educational use. The new option to change the background color is one that I very much appreciate. The only issue that my son has while using this app is that when he touches a tile it does not always activate the sound and he has to touch it several times for the tile to respond. Overall this is a wonderful app for children with various abilities. A big thank you to the creators for allowing my son an app that he can achieve communication goals that he was unable to!!!

Sounding Board
I was excited to download the update as my son uses this app to tell about his school day at the supper table. I am very disappointed and now wish I hadn't. The editing function format is unfriendly and small. I didn't update his old iPad sounding board so we are using that one instead. I'm wondering if we are the only ones feeling this way:( love the app, hate the update

Awesome app!
I use this app in a classroom setting with a non-verbal student on the autistic spectrum. It literally gives him a voice! I love the adaptability of the app. We use it for schedules, story boards, requests, etc. One of the best features is the ability to personalize boards using photos of the student and the materials he uses. Being able to link the boards together is very helpful. The new import/export feature is such a timesaver since I had been creating duplicate boards on three devices. Exporting the boards is also a great way to back them up in case the iPad has a problem!

More Content
This app is somewhat easy to use. I would like to see more picture cards for kids, especially schools related. Such as simple questions and commands like "May I use the bathroom" or "No hitting" or "Stop running". This would be very helpful for young school age children. I work with children that have autism and things like this would be extremely useful. It just needs more content even if you group them together and sell them for $0.99 like the others. I would be more than happy to provide you with a list of commands/questions I use with students on a daily basis. Thanks!

Older version better
I recently updated this app for my non verbal son. The older version was easier to scan and operate with his switch button. The boxes were bolder and easier to differentiate. I was wondering if there was a way to downgrade?
Overall I love the program and how easy it is to use.

Sounding board
This app does not work all the time, actually most of the time, when you add your own pictures and information. The idea behind it is great, but the application is lacking
4.0 needs work
4.0 came with much anticipation. However, we've noticed, after using with several individuals in communication classes, that the arrow to go back is too small. The previous version was difficult, especially for those with fine motor issues but the 4.0 version is that much harder to manipulate. We like the 'boring' black and white background - but it would be nice if you could choose a different color just for those who need the visual guide. All around, SoundingBoard is still one of the best programs we've had the opportunity to use with our clients.
