## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Couldn’t get in

*2020-05-11*

I logged in but then it said I had to log in twice and it just said my name and sign out whyyyy

### 1/5 — Bad app and interface

*2020-02-24*

The entire app is terrible, and the interface is terrible

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2017-04-19*

Seem to be an app that only gets your contact information and tells  you to you have to get an account set up, that's what I thought I did when sign signed up.

### 1/5 — who's can use this App

*2016-03-05*

what Code ??? it's impossible to get it, my questions is!! who can access this app, I lost like 40 min. !!!!

### 1/5 — Couldn't get in

*2016-02-15*

I couldn't even figure out how to get logged in. It was asking for a code, don't get wast of time

### 1/5 — Pretty expensive for no trial

*2015-05-06*

Why would anyone pay that kind of money without knowing first hand what he is getting.

Not even a trial ?

### 2/5 — Seems buggy

*2020-07-23*

The predictive boxes are blank for me but will insert a word when I tap them. It would be nice to know what the words are before I select them though! I also tried the Chrome extension and had the same experience, blank predictive boxes. I’d love to see the words it is suggesting, but maybe that’s too much to ask.

### 2/5 — Some of improve

*2020-06-06*

Toolbar on top little bit cut out in CoWriter app on iphone X, iPhone 11. I don't see a close button on keyboard and they need to Improve the word prediction on IPhone and ipad.

### 2/5 — Misleading... it not free

*2015-02-25*

The product can be downloaded but will not work unless your a school district and willing pay $650.  Their is no way to try the product out to see if it really works.   

There  is no way to get if for a single student

### 3/5 — Customize keyboard

*2021-01-06*

I wish i could customize the keyboard for students with visual impairments.

### 4/5 — What happened to the old co writer us version?

*2021-01-13*

Hi guys I was wondering what happened to the old version of       co writer called CoWriter US because I still have the app and it works beautifully so why did you take it off the store the thing I liked about the old one is it was free you didn’t have to have an account or anything I had a friend who has a little trouble with writing so I was hoping to send it to her but all I could find was the newer version could you answer this question for me please thanks

### 3/5 — Disappointing,, worse than old cowriter versions.

*2018-09-21*

I am a veteran OT who has used Co-Writer off and on for 20+ years.
I recently downloaded this "new, improved" version for an 8 year old child with CP.  the word predictions are not age specific.  Even with vocabulary parameters set at the lowest level, when this 8 yr old child tries to spell about,, it predicts "abortion".  It does nothing to autocorrect misspelling/ mis-keyed strokes. Nothing at all.  Even my cell phone does a better job with suggestions.
I was very hopeful that this would be great for him and the best feature is that the word predictions are editable for size... Very disappointing.
