User reviews

Disappointed

Mom had a stroke and has apraxia. We were trying to find an app that would help her communicate. The only function of this app is to flip what you type so someone across from you can read it. Which has some utility, except mom doesn’t have the fine motor to type on a phone. The store let us buy it on an iPad but the app doesn’t scale up to the iPad: the screen (and therefore keyboard) is the same size as if she were using her phone, which is exactly what we were trying to avoid.

Most frustratingly, we discovered all of this AFTER spending $25 on the app, because there is no demo version or trial period.

Expensive and Glitchy

The iPhone version has many glitches. It often duplicates what you’re writing. Some odd design choices, like having your own email addresses default shown. Also requires odd keyboard that has a small space bar, making it difficult to type.
