I should not have to pay monthly to be able to speak.
I go nonverbal a lot and i use apps and other tools to help me communicate my needs. Wi the this app however i have to pay monthly just to do so, and when i tried the free trial you only get a couple words (not nearly enough to express any feelings). I feel they are profiting off of people’s disabilities which j find very ableist in a way. Sure other people use it for different reasons but i feel like it should be more accessible to people like me.

Incredible and underrated
This app “clicked” right from the start. Was hesitant to trial this. No one talks about this app like proloquo2go or lamp gets talk. Proloquo2go was frustrating to say the least, folders within folders within folders led to frustration. I underestimated this app. I was wrong. Within days, with a little to no practice it could be used to communicate so much faster and easier than a year of proloquo2go practice could do. It’s a genius setup and an extensive vocabulary. Thank you so much for making this app. It’s amazing. It makes sense. I think it’s so underrated compared to other well known programs. Everything is well placed. Everything is easy to navigate to. We are seriously considering getting this app after the trial is over if we can afford it. A few user feedbacks though, perhaps it would be beneficial for there to be a way to “turn on” a color scheme like the Fitzgerald for example. It would help a lot of people with organization and as well as vision impairments. It is also very familiar to some. Another thing that could be done is make the symbols outlines thicker like in the pecs or symbolstix for example. If not perhaps an option to change the symbols to a different type.This could also help a lot of people with vision impairments since the grid cannot be adjusted. Another thing I came up with is that,perhaps, since the grid should not be adjusted for the motor plan, there could be a mode for motor issues where the grid is cut directly in half placed in two screens. Then the user could scroll up and down (or perhaps press a down page button on the top next to the hold that thought button )between the two screen to find the words they need. Words would still technically be in the same place, just need be to scroll to find them. I understand that this would make the process to communicate a tad bit slower but I imagine some people are unable to use speak for yourself because the grid buttons are too small. And they choose a different app. So if you do this or something similar it would open up your amount of users by a huge amount, for those with severe motor impairments. Just a suggestion. Those are little things I find worth thinking about but definitely, no complaints. This app is one of the best.

Terrible app
The whole thing is a pay to use and not all of us have that money! I wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to pay to communicate when your non verbal
