*2025-07-11, version 1.2.1*

Excelente!! Mil gracias !  Bastante útil para poder trabajar la comunicación con mi niño autista! Gracias !!

### 4/5 — Great tool for non verbal kids

*2025-06-19*

The app is easy to set up and easy to use.  My son got the hang of it very quickly and is making communication with him so much easier.  

The only thing I would say  to the developer is if you could save card decks and the ability to have multiple saved ones, that would save so much time for parents/caregivers.  That would make it 5 stars in my book.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2025-04-06, version 1.2.1*

I want to love this but unfortunately, I couldn’t get the sound working in this even after reloading the app and turning off my phone. Am I the only one having this problem?
