As soon as the sentence bug is rectified, I can start using again i am planning to change my review.
I wish there were an option to put pauses back in at the end of sentences—aside from that it’s good for me to be able to speak even if it’s not me doing the talking.
iOS 15.6 + heat
The app drains my iPad’s battery to 5%, what is the next update please, let me know asap
Predictive keyboard needs improvement
Not worth the price.
Better than most options!
The app is pretty good, i like the voice quality and the options. Needs to support iOS built-in predictive text though!
More Voice Options
Please add a female child's voice to your options.
Larger keypad
Need for a larger keypad for people who can't see very well. They need large letters.
Any chance this can be done? Otherwise I just wasted $$

Old version better
The old version called assistive chat was much more user friendly. My child is still using the old version on one device and prefers it to the new version on 2 other devices. Why not offer both versions and let the user choose. Thanks
Assistive Express
I bought this app a few years ago. Everything worked great until just recently it stopped working. I had difficulty installing it on my new iPad. Luckily, I have another app on my iPad to help me communicate. But, I paid money for my Assistive Express, It's been a headache getting this installed.
Great for My Nonverbal Autistic Son!
I love this app because my son has the ability to communicate to anyone around him with the help of the "word prediction" feature. As a parent, I like it because I can store his favorite phrases and I can also access the most recent messages. The voices are not annoying or to robotic. I would recommend the app for non verbal autistic children that have basic reading comprehension skills.

Please bring back the old layout.
My younger brother with autism has been using this app for years. It has served him well, but we prefer the layout that was used in previous versions of this app. The very large speakerphone button (that was more than twice the size of the other buttons) definitely made it easier for him to use this app. The old layout was already very clean--I do not understand why it had to be changed. Also, it is nearly impossible to contact the makers of this app. There's no contact email to be found. Why is communication so difficult?

Use during a phone call???
The support website is busted and will not accept feedback.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use this app during a phone call? I tried and it did not work. My guess is that it is because Apple does not allow 3rd party apps to work on top of their built in apps. Are there any apps that might be able to do this?
I would LOVE to see this in an update!
Thanks,

Assistive Express v3.4
Assistive Express v3.4 does work fine with iPad 2 running iOS v6.1.3. To make it work, uninstall current version. Then in AppStore, select 'purchased' apps and find Assistive Express again. Click cloud icon to download the program. Let download finish completely, it is a long download. Make sure the iPad does not turn off or go to sleep during the download. After completion, the app will run fine. You will be first greeted with a dark 'how to' screen and then press 'start' to begin program. Your first install/update did not complete properly which gave you the problem. Hope this helps. The new version is quite good and has a cleaner interface than the older version. Good luck!

Assistive chat
The update looks more professional but predictive buttons move and are less responsive than in the earlier version.
Assistive chat
My facility of speech has become unavailable. This app is a god send!
I'm sure there will be upgrades but for now I am still talking 5 STARS!

Where is large speak button?
New version. Really miss the large speak it button for son w/ autism. That's why we chose this app
One step forward two steps back
We were a bit disappointed with the upgrades. The nice simple interface with the large speaker is gone (this was it's main edge over the competition). It now has a layout similiar to Speakit (which is a fraction of the cost). The menu buttons can not be made larger for those with mild motor impairments. They haven't added the ability to increase the font size of typed text. No categories...
Oh well at least you can use speak selection within the app to get the better IOS voice. Oh and dIfferent colours on the favourites is a nice touch.

We also lost some very important writing of my son's that was on the favourites!!!!! Can we recover our writing in favourites???or can we go back to the previous look?
