amazing!

this is very very helpful and simple to use.
i like how its versatile. you can add custom pictures and voice recordings. and they have example photos for you so you dont have to go and find a picture for each word. my brother can use it easily. the app freezes rarely but if it does its no problem to just close and open again.

This app has been a life changer my uncle who is nonverbal and has Down syndrome uses this every day

Share feature gone

Please fix the share feature that is no longer an option in the app! It does not work and makes it impossible to share boards between family members devices.

Good app, but tedious

So, ChatterBoards was my first aac app. While I found it useful, I found it tedious to put together a page. I also didn’t really care for the robotic voices, so I decided that it wasn’t for me. Now, I’m not saying it’s a bad app. Just not for me. I will eventually come back to ChatterBoards once I have another device.

I do recommend ChatterBoards for those that can’t afford something like Proloquo2go, and have to do things alone, as I did.

This app is amazing for severe ME/CFS!

I have a medical condition that causes me to sometimes lose most of my ability to speak and move, and during these health episodes I have a lot of needs that most caregivers wouldn’t understand without being taught… being mostly paralyzed and unable to talk is no fun, and so having this happen again was my biggest fear, until I found this app. I was so happy to find that is super easy to use with lots of different ways to customize it, and I was able to make several various boards which are all very intuitively simple. It is giving me a huge sense of relief to have this tool in case I ever lose my ability to speak again! My only complaint is that when choosing the icon picture you have to scroll through literally hundreds- they could make it easier to find the clip art you’re looking for with a search function, but I’m still glad this app is free and so great in many ways.
