So I can’t even use it! How about stopping us at 5 pages? Rather than making us waste all this time creating pages and then locking us out! So frustrating! Thanks to this experience, I discovered another amazing AAC app that allows messaging too! ### 5/5 — Speech therapist approves *2026-02-26* This free version of GoTalkNow is a great way to dip your toes into AAC. I highly recommend this to parents of non speaking children to help them get started communicating with AAC. Because this is the free version you can only make a limited amount of pages but that should not be a problem for beginners! Definitely give it a try! And then if it’s working well you can upgrade to the paid version or try other apps! Adding images and text is super easy in this app with the internet search feature! I’m surprised this app doesn’t have more hype! ### 1/5 — New update. Has stopped the sounds *2026-01-23, version 6.1.2* After doing the latest apple update, the go talk now lite did a update and when buttons are pressed the app does not talk Ike it used to. My son uses this to communicate and he now cannot. To clarify the buttons no longer say what the buttons are. Ergo food button does not say anything. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-09-02* Excellent and free way to introduce families to a device. ### 4/5 — Nah great looks like Taylor Swift *2023-12-31, version 6.0.7* I don’t know what I am going to say ### 5/5 — Nervt Gotalk / Smaltalk *2023-11-22, version 6.0.6* Alles ziemlich nervig. Mach die UK Geschichte seit 25Jahre. Nö sorry nur Stress. Gotalk/Smaltalk — nein Mein Tipp TD Snap. Nach unten keine Grenzen und nach oben auch nicht. Gruß Ralph Böttcher Böttcher UK Beauftragter ### 1/5 — Seiten funktionieren nicht mehr *2023-06-18, version 6.0.2* Ich habe sehr viele Seiten für meinen Unterricht erstellt. Diese funktionieren nun nicht mehr. Wie bekomme ich hier Hilfe? ### 5/5 — Please make a version for the iPhone. *2023-06-03* Where is the iPhone version of this app??? ### 1/5 — iOS 6.1 *2022-11-02* I have the Go Talk Plus on my sons school iPad and iOS 16.1 has broken the app. Please fix!!
