Horrible
It freezes all the time, and you have to restart the device often. 🤦🏼♂️ if I would have known this I would chosen a different aac app!!
Constantly freezes and stops speaking.
I hate this app. I rated it one star but it shows as if I’ve rated if four stars for some reason. I hate this app so much. It randomly and frequently freezes. We have to restart it all the time because it just stops speaking which is literally the entire point of this dumb app. We were able to download it on to the fire tablet but it’s a lot of work and there are constant errors using it (not recognizing my profile on two devices at once, freezing). You have to manually download back ups and then upload them to transfer across devices. It just takes a lot of work to be functional despite the high cost. We paid for the lifetime membership so we seem to be stuck with it even though I am constantly reaching out to tech support and have asked for a refund.

The Best
Simply the best AAC app out there. My son is autistic/non-verbal and with Avaz we have had our first communication with him since his first regression. We couldn't be happier!
Avaz
One of the best full-featured AAC apps on the market in my opinion. Practice sessions included make this app unique and easy to learn. High contrast, changing icon size, variety of vocabulary choices, zoom and search features make this app a "must-have" for an SLP trialling AAC with students. The developer is very receptive to feedback and app is continuously improving.

Don’t like sign in
Don’t like mandatory sign in with new update… We are managing many for a school district. Change it back so that is in options.
Amazing
I use this app on iPads in my classroom and it is amazing. It is completely programmable, user friendly, and allows you to customize boards for each individual need. The voice speaks clearly and it is easy for students to figure out. Thanks for giving my students a voice!
Great app
Love this app! Cannot say enough about it. My son is 15 and non-verbal. This is so frustrating not to be able to hear what he has to say. He cannot Tell me how his day was, if anyone was mean to him or why he has a scratch or bruise on him or if he is sick what hurts him. I have tried for several years to get the school to get a communication board for him. They kept telling me no because then he would never talk if he gets a device to communicate for him. Well about 4 months ago I got AVAZ and since school could not help me in getting him a communication board Or an iPad I took our family iPad and explained to my other kids that it is more important for Victor to have it then it is for us. With the help of ARK we were able to get the school to agree to have Victor take iPad to school with the AVAZ app on it. He is doing so GREAT the teachers are realizing that HE HAS a voice. He Has an opinion And he is even trying to talk now! People are able to make out some words that he is saying, I knew that it would not keep him from talking. I knew it would only help him talk more I am so excited for him. It has even helped out with his anger problems. I could not figure out why he kept getting in trouble at school for getting angry. Well anyone would get angry and frustrated if you were not able to communicate what you need or feel or want. He even makes a few jokes too with AVAZ app. He still has a long way to go so he can talk but for now I am so excited that he has a way to communicate. Still trying to get or win him his own IPad but for now my other kids understand and are just as excited that he is communicating more now. My son has thoughts, feelings and wants to be heard too. Thanks AVAZ!

Avaz
Great app. Easy to navigate, many pictures to choose from, and can be easily customize for my students needs.
Great app
Great app can be customized and we use it for Spanish. Great customer service. Full language app compatible with Podd philosophy.
This one has got it right!!!!
I have been fortunate enough to review a lot of AAC apps. Some are good and some are not. Most are very complicated. I am tech savvy, but a lot of those apps left me "Wondering how do I teach this to my child with autism?"
Avaz is different it is setup to help you learn how to use the app in stages. There is a quick screen, basic and advanced options. I like this app because a parent can figure it out and it would still be thorough enough for a therapist or educator to use as well.

Love this
The best comm app out so easy to use :)
Unhappy Mom
I bought this app after reading the many positive reviews that I now realize are clearly fake. This was a waste of money and seems like every other AAC app on the market, some of which are free.
Very easy to use and understand!
This is a very easy to use and customizable app. You can even customize your own pictures! Perfect for so many uses including verbal, pre-verbal and non-verbal students and those with fine motor issues as you are able to customize the button size! As I work more with this app I find more and more that I really like and will be useful to both my students and children! AWESOME app!

Wonderful app!
This is the first app that has made my kids fight over the iPad. They love all the pictures and phrases that you put together. Great communication app and it is really helping my daughter in beginning her sentence formation. Highly recommend this app.
AWESOME AAC APP
This is an awesome AAC app. I have tried a few others and my 4 year old autistic son who also has apraxia of speech is currently using another AAC app. I thought it was the best available and had looked at many. This one definitely is a notch above, the pictures on top with the words is EXACTLY what he needs as he can't read and seeing a sentence above in the top window in our current app seemed pointless to me. This app has the pictures along with the words, it can now make sense to him to put a sentence together. I also appreciate the keyboard feature that he can grow into. The user interface is simple and to add and change items is simple. I feel that this app is worth every penny and I plan to set it up and make the switch! Thank you Invention Labs Engineering for putting the time and effort into an app designed just for our ASD kiddos!!

Very well thought-out app!
I've taken my time to work through this app before reviewing because this is a very competitive market and there is such a wide price range. This app is WELL worth the mid-range price. It is very straightforward and easy to use. The simple interface is great for those with very basic communication needs but is completely customizable to grow with emerging skills. I have looked at many AAC apps, and although there are several on the market at both high and low price points which are completely acceptable, I feel that AVAZ is much more comprehensive and easy to use at a very reasonable (in the world of AAC) price point. If you can afford this app it is definitely worth the investment.

Dream app
Very easy to use and customize. Use the picture board or advance into keyboard mode. This is an app that will grow with the user. You will not be disappointed!
YES!! A great speech app!
This is such a wonderful, amazing, terrific app that I am determined to begin using with my nonverbal autie TODAY! Wow. It has everything you could need from a language board---lists everything your child could want to say. This app gives your child a voice!!
ACC app I have been wishing for!!
This ACC app is just what I've been wishing for. VERY easy to use and go back. Option of using a keyboard mode I just LOVE. When you touch a word the app will anticipate the next word that may be in the sentence. Very cool! You can load items, save them, set alerts, use the PECS or even type in a word to be spoken.
Lots and lots of different options for PECS. The categories cover all the bases with easy to understand pictures. I think the QUICK page is the best one for those of us just getting started. One touch for simple things like "I have to go to the toilet", "Yes", 'No" and the list goes on!
I've been wating for an app like this for my non-verbal son who has ASD and is 8 years old.
WELL DONE.

User friendly and programming friendly
I have had the opportunity to play with a number of aac apps, but after playing with this one, I knew this was going to be the one. It is so easy to customize. Word of warning: put in a password to prevent the your child from editing or deleting a button. I found out from experience. At least there is a restore ability. When adding a button you just start typing in the word and then options pop up for you and you can even select from sometimes several picture options. Very easy for my son to navigate through as well. He does not have autism. He has down syndrome. Final word.....easy to work with!!!!
