Best I've Seen
My 3 year old is non-verbal and is just learning to use the SuperTalker. I was told by an AbleNet representative about this app and decided to give it a try. This is a FANTASTIC app! It's very similar to the look of SuperTalker but without the paper grids and bulkiness of the device. My kiddo is just being introduced to the iPad, but I feel confident once he's good at it, this will be his communication app thanks to you. Kudos to your development team!!

We need more px available on a page. Also black background with better contrasting pictures. It is very limiting right now. Love the auditory scanning capability!
Love the app, but i think it could use one little tweak
It's a wonderful app, very easy to use, one of the most useful ive seen so far for either verbal or non verbal children . however my son has been working on putting sentences together. It would be nice to have the option of a sentence strip, something they could place the pictures on if they flip through the pages, if you have for example food choices on a page and let's say your first pec choice is I want then they could line their food choice next to it and we add one for please after. so once he's made his choice he has a sentence he can look at and possibly say instead of having all the options that he doesnt want in between.

Very pleased!
I downloaded this app to use with a 10 year old speech student of mine who is very unintelligible. We had looked into purchasing a very expensive augmentative communication device, and decided to explore other options. Another "free" version of a communication app (TapToTalk) was extremely limited. Then, when reading the reviews for TapToTalk, I noticed a user's suggestion to try SoundingBoard. I had to give it a try. I've only had the app since yesterday, and I've already made several boards specifically tailored to my student. He LOVES it! Pages are simple to make, and the ability to link buttons to other pages indefinitely is SUCH a plus. This free app does as much as I needed the very expensive aug comm device to do!! If I don't see any glitches as time goes on, I will be entirely thrilled! Thanks for making this free.

Great
Very easy to set up and use. Will be using for my non verbal son. I created 2 communication boards for him in a few minutes with voice recording. Must have!!
What happened?
This app worked great for a while, in fact it was the only communication app my daughter could use. But the last time we tried to add content, it didn't work and she wasn't able to tell her friend happy birthday. Please fix it!!!!
Sounding Board App
I bought this software for my teenage daughter who has cerebral palsy. Good things: it is very easy to create and edit boards; it is nice to be able to record the messages; it is very useful to be able to link screens - so that essentially I was pretty much able to duplicate my daughter's dynavox into this programme; it's great to be able to incorporate your own photos.
Downsides - it's a major pain searching through the picture library to find something suitable. Can this aspect be improved? Recordings play back (on the i-pad) very quietly - you need external speakers which is a bit of a hassle if you want to use it away from home or school.
Could a facility be included (as on the dynavox) where hitting a field will carry out an action (e.g. playing a music track)? That would be really good because my daughter simply cannot navigate through i-tunes to find her favourite tracks.
All in all - this is great software for a very fair price. You have succeeded in making communication affordable. Well done!

images are small
Although the application does function as stated, the cells are small. Unfortunately the program does not utilize the entire screen and it does not give you the option to change the size of the cells either. The Ipod screen is small to begin with and not being able to utilize the entire screen is not practical. I regret buying this app. You are better off with proloquo2go. It is also difficult to get back to the home screen. There is no clear button to lead you back. It should be clear especially since it is being used by special need children. I also made another mistake.....I should have read the reviews....the audio does not work at all...so don't waste your money. It is also difficult to get support from this company....

AT consultant
This AAC application is a great tool for families and teachers who want something simple and easy to use. The ability to create new board sets easily is key and is definitely available in this app. I like the pre set board creation templates as well as the ability to record your own voice for playback options. It is a great product to provide alternative communication options for people with communication difficulties!

Buyer beware
This does NOT work on the iPod touch. The developer is well aware and claims to be trying to fix it. Very disappointing.
