Not very accessible, not very accurate

While the alphabet and list of contracted words are well enough in this app, the punctuation section is full of errors and incomplete. You can get all of this information for free and much more accurately by Googling "UEB braille chart" or "UEB braille cheat sheet". This app also is not formatted well for screen reader use, which would be funny if not for the people who would need it most being screen reader users.

Hello, Thankyou for your feedback. We are coming out with a new version to address this concern. Please stay tuned.

Handy and filled with potential

This app has so much potential and is so handy. Looking forward to the next update. Would love to see computer Braille added as a category. This seems to be necessary for entering passwords using a refreshable braille display. I would pay for this app if it also had Braille commands for Braille Display Instructor Hknc to the second out that did this. Thanks so much for this handy guide!

Doesnโ€™t work with large fonts

At some point in the last year this app stopped working with large font enabled on my phone. Are used to work brilliantly but now itโ€™s pretty well useless. The display cuts off the dots in positions one and four. This is a deal killer for people who are visually impaired and trying to learn braille. Hopefully this will get fixed in and update; however, the last update was over a year ago.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will be releasing a new version of the app soon to address this issue. I hope that will solve the large print problems. Multiple users have reported this, so I will make sure to address it as soon as possible.

voiceover reads punctuation and numbers incorrectly

when using this app with voiceover, punctuation and numbers are read incorrectly so the voiceover user is left confused.. every letter is read incorrectly by voiceover, and most of the punctuation is also. This needs to be fixed.

Response from developer

Hello, We appreciate your feedback. We are coming out with a new version and will be fixing the bugs you are concerned about.

Where is the @ symbol?

With voiceover on and all symbols and their boards punctuation seem wrong

Response from developer

Hello, Wen updating the app, we also realized we are missing punctuation. We are working on this. Please stay tuned.

Comprehensive but print is very tiny

Nice to have contracted Braille reference. However, the font is hard to read
