### 3/5 — スクロールしにくい

*2026-05-29*

スクロールしにくいので改善してほしいです。

### 4/5 — Card Talk’s age rating is now more true

*2026-01-22, version 1.2.1*

Now it’s for babies! It added 0-5 to the age rating! Why?

### 4/5 — Bien

*2025-09-15, version 1.2.1*

Fácil y práctica

### 4/5 — いいアプリなので

*2025-09-11*

助かっていますが、デッキの枚数を増やして貰うか、使って欲しくないカードを無効に出来るようにしたいただけるとより助かります。

### 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.

### 4/5 — Card Talk easy to use

*2024-03-16, version 1.1.6*

This has been a great help for my 4 year old grandson the speech therapist recommended it and it's easy to use for him. You can add more cards but it would be great if it had zoo animals. Nana and Pop and just other things but otherwise great app highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful tool for Children with Autism

*2025-01-22*

Been trying to find apps to help my daughter. She has had a long hard journey with autism. This is similar to many tools being used to communicate with nonverbal autistic children and it’s absolutely awesome. She loves the cards and with time hopefully she can use it to express what she’s feeling or her needs.

*2024-08-19, version 1.1.6*

How do you get premium but it is still a good app

### 5/5 — I am an RBT

*2024-07-24*

I am an RBT working with a 4 year old nonverbal autistic kiddo. Super easy to teach and add/ remove cards that are needed or not needed for daily use. Only wish more cards were available in the deck but still worth more than 5 stars
