It can’t record your own voice

It would be a good app if you could record your own voice

This will work great

Looking forward to using this with my non verbal son. The only thing I would like to do is be able to remove existing categories as he will only understand the ones we make with photos and may get confused with the ones already on there.

I like the app

I love the app but I think it needs more cards.

AWFUL

My grandson is 6 and not yet verbal. UNDER IMPRESSION THAT SOUND WOULD BE INCLUDED FOR THIS PRICE. WASTED MY MONEY AND FRUSTRATED MY GRANDSON

Wonderful communication aid that just got better!

I love this app. It used to be great, and now it’s great and beautiful! The new artwork, and new features are terrific. It’s great to see such a helpful app being improved so.

No distractions; just a great tool for aiding in communication via an elegant and flexible point and tap interface.

Extensible via use of the camera and camera roll, so you’re not limited to the images that come with the app.

Brilliant, but !!

Love this app, brilliant for visual learners and kids who can't follow more than one verbal instruction without getting sidetracked. Would be perfect if, you could add your own cards to existing categories and add our own categories as well. For example, I would preset a school mornings category, so that my child can just open that category and then they know what's expected at certain times and in different situations.

App not updated

Can't see any pictures when click on the icon headers ? Have emailed so awaiting reply or update

Updated Grace app 3.0

My daughter used Grace app for 4 years. Grace app updated for 3.0 this year, it's better than before. It is very easy to use rename and right size photo. Now I don't need another apps for photo borders, caption label, etc. Grace app should be enough, very simple to use rename, you do yourself add picture what child need.

Thank you for updated 3.0. Good job. :-.)

BRILLIANT! Highly recommend this App.

So happy that I bought this App. It was simple to set up and easy to change the text to make the picture names consistent between home and teachers at school. We did delete some pictures and have added and named our own. We will keep adding to these as we need to. We are not using the voice over, we use the pictures to prompt our daughter to try and say the words. Great App thank you!

Very Disappointed

This app does nothing. For $9.99, it lets you look at limited pictures with limited functions. Can't print, edit, etc. I would certainly like a refund.

Grâce app.

Le programme est ce que mon fils à besoin mais ne fonctionne pas bien et j'ai contactÊ la responsable et elle ne veut pas me l'envoyer a nouveau et elle me dit que le problème que j'ai, plusieurs personnes ont eu le même problème que moi.

Wonderful!

Still the best app for those looking for a "true" PECS communication system for their iDevice. Lots of flexibility and perfect for those individuals with Autism just starting to find their own voice.

Great electronic version of pecs

Super start to a usable pecs system. Like options to add own photos . Needs more word sentence starters or makers, such as asking questions like "where","why","how do","who","what",and "when". Need a category of verbs, adjectives, and adverbs to build sentences if the child is able to. Also a catergory for times with digital times and general morning, afternoon, evening, and night words to select. AM and PM would also be nice. This would give them a way to discribe their thoughts about activities and objects. an emotion category is also missing. just the option to add our own categories would be great!

Great App with small issues

Easy to use although I also have the app flashing on and off on opening. Agree with the others, would be even better if we could make up our own categories.

Great as an electronic PECS system!

This app is a wonderful replacement of physical PECS and a very good transition to AAC if speech does not develop. I like being able to re-order. Double tapping to remove from sequence is not my first choice, but I am not an autistic user. ;-) I do like that order is retained and other features of the selection row. Sizing if items would be nice for kids who have vision or motor issues combined with autism, that is one of my few knocks. A useful alternative for reaching kids with autism who are productive with PECS.

Grace-picture exchange for non verbal people

Great app but really need the ability to add new catagories any chance of an update?

iPod vs IPad with Grace

I started my son with IPod and I liked the sentence strip and the size of the strip but he requires a bigger screen for vision. We purchased the IPad this Christmas and I bought the Grace app again. I was surprised that there are differences. I wish the strip was larger and pics easier to organize. Also on iPod the strip enlarges and fills more of the screen. Easier to see. Hope there is work being done o update the iPad!

Expensive app with not a lot of functionality

I can't believe the price for this. All it does is display images from a TINY library, or the images that you upload. Only ONE level of categorization, existing categories are arbitrary, no labeling, no audio, no recall of image strings that you make, once you set an image string you can't re-arrange. WHY does it cost 38 bucks???

Not user friendly, not able to customize, not worth it!

Terrible app! I REALLY wanted to make it work because I like the bottom row sentence.

Problems
-Front screen is not customizeable making it confusing for my daughter with too many options we aren't using.
-Not very many pictures in app and its a pain to add new ones
-The pictures that are in the app can not be used interchangeably in different folders
Basically it is a VERY VERY rigid app that unless your child is exactly like the child this app was designed for its not going to work for you.

I gave up and got icommunicate. It is much much much much much better. Don't waste your money on this one. I'm sad I did!

Great PECS-like, silent communication app for SLPs, teachers, parents

I highly recommend this app that helps children communicate. A must for Speech Language Pathologists, Special Education, Autism, teachers, parents and siblings will find this Augmentative Alternative Communication app useful. Megan Bratti, MS, CCC-SLP @avocadotech /avocadotech
