losing new pages

i would give it a 5, but on several of the ipads that my students use, I will save a page/icons, save each of several intermediate spots and even change the edit field. Then the next day the newly developed page is GONE. I hope to see an update that addreses this problem.

Great AAC Device but Not Perfect

I'm a speech pathologist and I love using this app with my special needs preschoolers. It's customizable and the image gallery is extensive; however, the magnification is an issue. Because I use it on an iPad, I have to magnify it thus compromising the graphics. Is there anyway to make an iPad version to avoid this?

My sound quit working. IPad two with OS 6

Easy to set up, but...

I am a speech therapist. The problem I see is that often 2 touches are needed to activate an icon/button. Many of my students lack the focus and motivation to keep touching the icons twice.

Just what I was looking for!

I needed an app that was highly customizable, appropriate to adults or children, with natural-sounding voices and an array of symbols to choose from. I found it with this app and I'm thrilled! It is perfect for a range of people with mid-level disability and is so intuitive to use. Love the accessibility options and data tracking as well.. And free! I will be recommending to multiple speech therapy patients.

Amazing!

Loved this app. I just got it and was able to set up a simple board for a severely impaired high school student. It was soooo simple to make and bring other pictures into. I've tried other devices with her but she likes to keep pushing the same icon and will inadvertently change the page or the device will keep repeating itself. I think this will suit her needs perfectly. Yeah!!! Thank you.

Awesome

I have only looked briefly so far but am very excited by the possibilities. I do wish there were a universal or iPad version however..

Very impressed

I am an AT professional, and in my opinion, this is the easiest to use and easiest to program communication app available...even including the other high priced apps currently available! It is more customizable than the pricey apps and works just as well if not better!

grat for beginner

The ability to make your own loards is great! My son is almost 3 yrs old and is just starting with using a talking app. this is a great low cost app to start with until he has more ability and words in his vocabulary, I don't want to buy a 200 program right now... Thanks for this one! It's great!

Some bugs

Good features, symbol library, and concept. only problem is that I cannot create new boards with new symbols. I keep hitting ' save' button to insert symbols but does nothing.
