### 1/5 — No restore feature for early purchasers

*2025-06-17*

I bought this app many years ago before it became a subscription app, but there is no ‘restore’ feature and I have lost all access to this app on my new device, despite having paid a pretty penny for it. Please add a restore feature for those of us who have supported your app company in its early years.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-12-03*

I can’t add the symbols

### 1/5 — Bought this for 40 bucks, now being forced to subscribe and pay again or move on

*2023-10-27*

A few years ago, I bought Custom Boards for 39.99. I loved it and recommended to others. When I tried to put it on my new iPad, it is trying to charge me $10 bucks a month. I did not know my purchase “expired.” If I paid a couple of bucks, I would not complain but I feel cheated and swindled. Not a great feeling

### 3/5 — It's okay not great

*2012-01-25*

I think it could be better because almost everything cost money only some things cost no money. It is a great app though but I wish it didn't have to cost money for some.

### 4/5 — Versatile

*2012-01-14*

I think this app has a ton of potential! I'm just beginning to explore/learn its many uses. I showed it to a family last night who agreed that it would be great for their kid. :)

### 4/5 — Looooove!

*2012-01-14*

I love this app! Great templates and symbols. I definitely recommend trying this if you aren't ready to purchase premium yet, you will!

### 5/5 — Lots of potential

*2012-01-14*

I only have the lite version but can see lots of potential for application. Need to start saving so I can get the full version. Thanks for having a lite version so we can try it out.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-01-14*

LOVE this app! It’s so easy to design individualized speech activities that kids will love to play. I especially love the assortment of fun templates..there’s one for every occasion! Can’t wait to purchase the premium version!!

### 5/5 — Great preview of what this app can do!

*2012-01-14*

Great opportunity to create your own activities for listening practice, speech practice...so many possibilities!
