### 3/5 — Misleading App Store

*2024-03-31*

While the app itself isn’t the problem, it’s the App Store page is deceiving. On the App Store it says family sharing is supported but wanted me to pay, twice. That’s another issue that the front reviews on the app state free, yet I had to pay. A fee, no matter the size, isn’t free. I won’t pay twice for something that is supposedly able to be shared by family.

### 5/5 — Help with sound

*2021-01-10*

TTS completely disappeared one day. Checked all settings but to no avail.

**Developer response:** Hello!  I'm sorry for the toubles.  Please reach out to us so we can help you trouble shoot.  Support@alexicomtech.com.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — User Friendly

*2020-10-06*

This app is absolutely amazing! I am a BCBA in the field of ABA. I use this app for several clients. It is user friendly especially on an iPhone or iPad. It is compatible with Android as well. I have worked with other apps for clients in the past but found the cost to be a barrier for some. With the free version of Alexicom, you get all the features (create own page, upload pictures, change/record the voice to personalized voice, hide pictures on page,etc). As a professional in the field, I highly recommend this app, it is the best out there!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback!

### 5/5 — Great FREE app

*2019-10-26*

This is amazing for a free app, it has editing capabilities, tons of images available, even scanning abilities.  I have several of the Alexicom paid apps too, which saved me a lot of editing time. A viable, affordable communication option!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support in our mission to provide everyone with a way to communicate and be understood!

### 3/5 — Free App

*2018-11-06*

I have been using the free app for a while, despite constantly having to remake pages every time my employer updates my iPad. I like the flexibility of being able to create my own pages.  However, suddenly I am getting an error message that my pages have expired and I have to renew or republish. Also, I am having issues with a child who has hand tremors tapping the screen too many times, which causes the screen to zoom. I attempted to turn off this feature but it didn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hello Queen Jewl,
We discovered this bug two days ago and quickly began to resolve it.  Today we submitted to Apple and the update is now available so you will no longer receive this error.  Also, in the future so you don't lose any of your pages follow these steps to back up in iTunes using File Sharing:

1) Plug in the iPad to the computer (Mac or PC)
2) Select the iPad icon near the top.
3) In the left menu, select File Sharing.
4) In the right hand side, select the Alexicom app.
5) Drag the "Alexicom Files" folder to the desktop (or other backup location on the computer).
6) Wait for the file transfer to complete.

The pages are now backed up.  If anything happens during the update, you can restore the "Alexicom Files" folder to the iPad by dragging the folder back into the Alexicom File Sharing window.

Apple's File Sharing webpage:  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301



 For the inconvenience this may have caused, we are happy to offer a promo code to any of our other AAC apps.  Please reach out to us at support@alexicomtech.com so we can help you resolve the zooming issue. 


 Thank you for your feedback!

### 2/5 — Problems in publishing & sharing online

*2018-06-28*

I really like your app for the library you have provided & the tiles features too. Ease of use comes with tiles placing & linking pages which is an added feature more than Bitsboard. I can’t 
-Use the pages of Public Library in scroll down menu option on the iPhone.
-Publish & Share my pages on my account online across iPhone & iPad. The personal board page (Quick talk) should be there in the Scroll down menu to use after I sign in.

**Developer response:** Hello Rupa!  We're happy you like parts of our app.  In response to the things you can't do:
-We will look into the scrolling on the iPhone.  
-Through our subscription, you can share pages onto as many devices as you choose.  We are currently also updating the app to include sharing across devices through our other paid apps.  

If you have any other questions or need assistance please contact us at support@alexicomtech.com.  Thank you for supporting our mission of providing everyone with a voice!

### 5/5 — Great app that is still free.

*2017-06-19*

You can create basic AAC pages that could be customized.

**Developer response:** Thank you Jumi099 for joining our mision of providing everyone with a voice!

### 4/5 — AA

*2016-02-09*

This is an app I could use in my classroom with students who are nonverbal and free!

**Developer response:** Thank you Shin gram for joing our mission of providing everyone with a voice!

### 5/5 — alexicom AAC

*2015-07-25*

very  helpful I love it

**Developer response:** Thank you and thank you for joining our mission to provide everyone with a voice!

### 1/5 — Complicated

*2015-01-13*

I think if you learn how to edit it , but for me was very complicated. And erased it even though I know how to edit a more complicated electronic device (V-max). Maybe just the  instructions weren't clear .

**Developer response:** I'm sorry the editing was not clear.  We have a YouTube Channel with short video tutorials as well as written manuals.  If you ever have any quesitons, we are here to help you out at support@alexicomtech.com
