### 4/5 — Avaz is awesome however :(

*2026-06-09, version 8.0.4*

On Avaz, I noticed few things! Rich vocab, lots of features.. or so I thought. The frozen row feature and the vocab presets are all language blocked to US english only. As an Australian AAC user, this really sucks! Why can’t I access frozen row? It’s the most fundamental feature I NEED for AAC along with the vocab presets!? Yes it may be hard to do Australian vocab too BUT I struggle with using the layouts and having to start FROM scratch for big boards. It’s stressful, time consuming and as much as I want to LOVE Avaz, I cannot. Also YouTube intergration is only 5 minutes MAX. This really sucks because most of my stuff is for school, it goes for like 20 minutes more. Besides this, Avaz has good colour coding system and easy customisation but not to where I feel it needs to be.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase subscription, DOES NOT WORK!

*2026-04-16, version 8.0.4*

They do not warn you that you cannot buy this on your account as the parent, and expect it to work on your kids tablets. You cannot even sign out without deleting an account. So if you buy a lifetime subscription, even if you are logged in with the exact same e-mail, it will not work. Even if you try restoring purchase and using their website for advice. If you reach out to them for support by e-mail, they will not answer. You can expect decent response time for support from other companies, just not this one. It is a simple program they made using software from the 90s and expect to pray on parents by charging $400! Frustrating to pay so much, hoping it would family share (it doesn’t), or sharing a log in would work (it doesn’t), and just left feeling ripped off!

### 2/5 — It shouldn’t be this hard.

*2026-03-28*

I used to own an account on this on this device specifically with a different email address. When I tried to make a new account on a different device with a different email I just made, it said that I ‘already had an account’ which I didn’t! So then I tried again to make a new account, but it said I already had an account under that email despite it never being used?? It shouldn’t be this hard to make an account or sign in. Please fix this!

### 5/5 — idk if its just me but its free for me

*2026-03-17, version 8.0.4*

well for me its free so i like it but ik it is expensive for others?? so be wary or that

### 5/5 — The best AAC app

*2026-02-12*

I’m a Pedaitric Speech Language therapist, using Avaz has made AAC so much more accessible to the non verbal children. Customising it to suit the child’s need is also very easy. The icons are clear and easy to understand. Would 100% recommend it

### 5/5 — Happy parent

*2026-02-12*

My son is still in the learning phase. The app itself seems user friendly and easy to use. I will update on his progress with the app in a few months. 

The support has been awesome, they helped with some of the initial subscription issues like changing country, restoring purchase on fire tablet etc swiftly as soon as we got in touch. Mr. Debojit was also very patient in answering any queries we had & welcoming to connect more if we needed support in future. 100% recommend.

### 1/5 — is good app but not free

*2026-01-22*

am autistic person, no have job to get money. app cost very much money after free trial is only 2 week long. is best aac app ever try before so great but has not able communicate for almost week now becuase free trial ran out have no way to communicate. avaz took my voice away from. don’t get app unless have lot of money. most of disabled people don’t have money like me too and being have to be pay 300 dollar to be able have a voice is sad for make many of us not have any way communicate at all. please make be free. am need to communicate

### 3/5 — It’s great but glitchy

*2025-12-31, version 8.0.2*

I’ve had abs since October. I really love it. I do wish it was cheaper for a lifetime and one of the issues is it’s telling me it’s 299.99 for the lifetime, but it’s telling my friend it’s only 199.99 and it’s been glitching and freezing but I do really love the app. If you could fix these issues, I really want to buy the lifetime.

### 2/5 — Too expensive.

*2025-11-07, version 8.0.2*

As a person who needs it to communicate it is good and easy to navigate. However, it’s too expensive for me or my family to even afford. What is the out right purpose of this if I is difficult for individuals to afford? 
Maybe bring your prices down and I may consider checking it out again. There’s many people out in need but a reliable AAC device, but we can’t really rely upon it if it costs that much.  
CRAZY!!!

### 5/5 — Very nasty glitch

*2025-10-28*

Hi, I like your game. It’s really fun and I enjoy creating stories on it. But there is this one glitch, that’s really annoying; I try to find a picture but it freezes the screen! Then, I try to click it it freezes again! It was perfectly fine before you updated it. So this glitch needs to be fixed.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words about Avaz, our AAC app. While it’s not a game, it’s designed to make communication more accessible for those who need an AAC solution. We’re pleased to inform you that the internet pictures are now available again. To access them, all you need to do is update the app from the app store. Once again, thank you for your support. We appreciate it! 😊
