No longer useable

I just bought this app and I found it a good first step for me to take in my AAC adventure. However I recently upgraded to the new iPad Pro and due to its upgrade and subsequent removal of the home button, I can no longer use app to its true potential. The way you slide the screen upwards to reach the settings in the app is also now the same technique used to close apps. Unless you guys change how we access settings, I’m going to have to delete the app and waste the $70 I paid, so I’m pretty ticked off. Fix this now, and I’ll purchase the full app at $139.99. If you don’t, I’ll have to take my money and business elsewhere.

Go Talk Start

Very clear speech and great selection of standard pictures to supplement photos. I find it very easy to create the board. I have tried other speech programs and they can be complicated to program and use by handicapped person. We also have a Go Talk 20 for use at my daughters group home. That is very easy to set up and use also. Thank You
