Disappointed

I’m disappointed that I spent $4.99 on this app that says grade 2 braille is an option. It is not. Grade 2 braille is contacted braille. Both grades within the app are uncontracted. This is not helpful for me. Do you issue refunds?

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback and sorry you feel disappointed. I don’t have the ability to issue a refund myself, but you can definitely get a refund through the official way via the App Store process. Please look it up and follow the steps. Thanks!

Mirror Image!!

Great app super simple and user friendly. One request. In order to actually communicate with a sight impaired individual. It would be helpful, for learners who do not have a Braille printer, to see their work in mirror image that can be used with a slate to print out the message for a sight impaired individual.

Best Braille app ever!

Easy to use, and perfect for writing Braille messages! Couldn’t ask for anything better!

Android

PLEASE make this for Android. I would buy it in a heartbeat and it is highly requested. Pleassssseee!

Contracted Braille not fully contracted

The idea for the app is wonderful. If you plan to use it for contracted braille (grade 2), you need to know that it does full word contractions, like the th sign for the, and 12356 for of, but it doesn't do partial word contractions, like ing or en. Having only some of the contractions makes this fairly useless for contracted braille.
