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. ### 3/5 — Like but *2015-04-24, version 6.2* Needs to answer in contraction when it applies because that's what I want need. I like the way it writes. Nice ### 4/5 — Super fun but could use more punctuation and integration with Messages. *2013-03-08, version 3.2* ⠎⠑⠑⠀⠇⠕⠕⠅⠀⠓⠕⠺⠀⠙⠥⠝⠀⠞⠓⠊⠎⠀⠊⠎⠲ ### 3/5 — Dots 235 *2011-03-09, version 1.0* FYI, this app is just a fun way to show Braille to sighted people. It is not an accurate representation of the Braille code. There are MANY more contractions in the code. So have fun with the alphabet as it is represented here, but remember it is a free and limited app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-07-29* 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? **Developer response:** 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! ### 1/5 — Do you really know braille? *2019-09-23, version 7.1* ⠺⠓⠽ ⠁⠗⠑ ⠎⠕⠍⠑ ⠞⠓⠁⠝⠛⠎ ⠍⠊⠎⠎⠊⠝⠛ ⠋⠗⠕⠍ ⠞⠓⠊⠎ ⠁⠏⠏⠦ ### 1/5 — Not complete. *2018-10-29, version 7.0* The grade two feature does not work well at all. ### 1/5 — Very basic *2017-01-14, version 6.3.1* Does not use UEB so pretty pointless for me unless you are a beginner and then you could use free apps. ### 1/5 — Should get a negative rating *2016-09-01, version 6.3.1* Does not support even simple grade two contractions. Does not support simple symbols. I typed in the and for of and with using the grade two setting and the words were spelled out. I also tried the + sign and the app wouldn't even support the input. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — Highly disappointed *2015-09-05, version 6.2* This is not helpful at all especially for learners. Highly disappointed. ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2012-09-11, version 3.0* I can't seem to have it work more then two minutes. It crashes when swapping the text. ### 3/5 — Contracted Braille not fully contracted *2020-05-06, version 8.0.1* 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. ### 3/5 — I love to send Braille *2019-06-11, version 7.1* I really enjoy sending Braille to my friends and family through text message and other means using this app. However, I am studying to be a transcriptionist and I find it extremely frustrating that there is no way to do contracted braille on my messages. A way to change the keyboard to a six key method would be extremely helpful. ### 3/5 — Conjunctions *2018-08-12, version 7.0* You are missing the conjunctions in English such as “and” ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Braille app ever! *2020-10-06, version 8.0.1* Easy to use, and perfect for writing Braille messages! Couldn’t ask for anything better! ### 5/5 — Android *2020-08-14, version 8.0.1* PLEASE make this for Android. I would buy it in a heartbeat and it is highly requested. Pleassssseee! ### 5/5 — Braille Writer *2019-02-22, version 7.1* Very fun if you want to learn Braille ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2018-07-17, version 7.0* would be cool to have this for andoird ### 5/5 — The app is worth every dollar - simple and extremely functional! *2018-04-05, version 7.0* 5+ ### 5/5 — Braille keyboard, PDF/RTF *2016-05-25, version 6.3.1* Hi. Kak vashi dila? Nice app, but unfortunately, I do not know how to get the Braille keyboard option to type with in-app, nor do I know how to export to PDF/RTF. If you would kindly inform me how, it'd (the app) be worth five stars. I teach English, ASL, and Braille, so such is quite necessary for my work. Thank you! Спасибо! *In order to get the option to type in Braille, one must tap in the top half of the page (the top half of the text box where the Braille appears), then the Braille keyboard option will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the QWRTY keyboard. As for PDF/RTF, Apple Notes supports it, I was able to find out, but please add the things in the description. Nonetheless, I was able to find out without waiting a long time, less than ten - twenty minutes of app usage. If not in the description of the app, perhaps add such to the "Help" option in the app itself about how to use the Braille keyboard. I hope this app is successful for you. The money is worth it. If in a future update, add Hebrew and/or Russian Braille keyboards? Again, thank you! !תודה Спасибо! May you be blessed. ### 5/5 — Good Braille Translator!! *2014-03-03, version 5.2* I really like this app! The only Con that I have is that it doesn't capitalize names and first sentences. I needs that. Thanks. ### 5/5 — On the map *2013-04-04, version 4.0* I love this app it's really amazing ### 5/5 — Best App I've Ever Bought! *2013-03-02, version 3.2* For the longest time I've always been interested in braille reading and writing. I found this app and decided to give it a shot; I'm glad I did. I love it! And the best part of it is that you can copy what you write & paste it to a status, message etc. and NONE of my friends know what it says. Again, I love this app! ### 5/5 — Simple and easy *2011-11-16, version 2.1* This is a nice way for people that are able to see, to write and see what a braille text looks like. I don't think it is meant to work the other way around. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
