What's New in Expressive Go

5.0

October 14, 2026

A big update, and everything is still free. NEW • A new Settings screen: full screen, with a preview of your board, voice and speed, typing feedback, fonts, languages and lock • Back up and restore all your boards and settings with Files or iCloud Drive • Speak words as you tap them, or build the message quietly first • Ignore accidental double taps • A new board picker with previews of all 11 boards • Find communication boards near you on a map, with guides for schools and cities GRAMMAR • Past tense follows the subject: "you were", "they were" • 150+ irregular verbs: "fell", "forgot", "swung", "has done", "has been" • Correct spelling for "-ing" and "-ed": "opening", "stopped", "hugged" • Phrase tiles change the verb, not the last word: "went to school", "brushed teeth" • The purple Time button now works: "she has eaten", "they have gone" • "a" and "an" only change when the word before them is "a" or "an" • Describing words become adverbs only when they should: "run slowly", but "I feel sad" • Noun tiles like "swing" and "slide" no longer turn into verbs FIXES • Your chosen voice and speed are used again when speaking • Editing a custom picture no longer deletes it • Tiles whose picture is missing stay on the board as word tiles instead of disappearing, and 280+ pictures were added • "I" always shows as a capital in the message • No more video or rating pop-ups when you first open the app

User reviews

Something is missing….

It is quite misleading that this free app claims to be an easy introduction to speech-generating AAC for families. This free app doesn’t include the voice files, and when I tried to click to download one of the voices, the app keeps taking me to my iPad settings page. Also, the “preloaded” AAC boards it lets you choose from don’t actually populate when you go to the board. Stick with another free app like ChatterBoards if you’re looking to build your own free AAC boards that generate speech!

App Shuts Down

Looks like a great app but the app shuts down and doesn’t allow you to reopen it when you edit it. Only way to reopen is to delete and redownload. It has done this multiple times when trying to customize a new folder with real pictures.

No sound

I do not want to purchase yet as I want to see how it works. I am an early intervention therapist that wants to trial this app with kids I work with and so far I am not happy with this app. I can not get any sound for the words and it looks like I need to subscribe for sound. I was under the impression the free version had sound.
