The best AAC app I have ever tried

I have literally tried every free/cheap aac app on the App Store (and also on the android store) and I have never found one this good, I mean this is amazing especially for it being free, most aac apps that are not as good as this cost like £300 so this is a deal! One thing I’m not so fond of is that it speaks pretty quickly and their isn’t a way to change that but in my opinion is seems that it speaks a bit slower on grid/board B!?! Will definitely be using this app a lot and it works on the newest iPad (currently) it just takes a few mins to download everything so it seems like it won’t work! I feel like the creators of this app haven’t updated it in over 9 years but it’s perfect imo ( in my opinion) and I think it has aged really well for an app that is over 20 years old!! I really recommend!

Doesn’t work on ios26

My son has used this app for years, however I’m now really disappointed as it doesn’t work with the new iPad ios26 update. I’m hoping they might update the app so he can continue to use it.
