We use it almost every day. ### 5/5 — Exactly what we need! *2011-11-18, version 2.02* My 12 year old son reads well below grade level which creates a significant barrier to independence. I create storyboards of vocabulary words for him to study. It's great that I can include the written word and a picture as well as a recording for him to repeat. I'm also starting to record recipe storyboards for him to follow. Wonderful app! We will use this for many years. ### 5/5 — Great visual app *2011-11-10, version 2.02* I received this app for my autistic 6 year old son, it has been so easy to create visuals to let him know what is going to happen next. Easiest app I have found for schedules- oh and it works on all devices and you can move your pages to iPod, iPad or iPhone. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2011-10-31, version 2.02* This app is awesome and the technical support on it is fabulous too. I was having a problem and the designer went right to work to fix it. It is so easily customizable, has tons and tons of pictures, and is easy to navigate. I seriously LOVE this app! Don't waste your money on another one. Unfortunately I bought another one first and after it didn't work bought to icommunicate. It's awesome! ### 5/5 — Love the customizable options *2011-06-14, version 1.85* This is such a great app and very user friendly. I am an SLP who uses iCommunicate to help my non-verbal students with autism communicate with their peers and teachers at school. I like that I can upload photos from the camera, camera roll or the web. I like that I have different story board options to choose from so that I can tailor them to either my therapy session or to the student¹s whole day. My students love the task completion option so that they can check off each task as we go along. ### 5/5 — iCommunicate does the job *2011-04-19, version 1.81* This app, created by Grembe, is a great tool for creating visual learning schedules, boards, and pages for learners with significant special needs. There are literally 10,000 images to search from and customize. What I like best about iCommunicate is the ease of customization for any user. Staff in my district that are working with iCommunicate report that they love being able to customize "on the go", creating incidental learning for their students as it is occurring. Plus, the ability to edit and record is extremely user-friendly and non-intimidating to novice users. All in all, a great app at a great price! ### 5/5 — Thank You! *2011-04-04, version 1.81* I teach an Early Exceptional Education program (EELP), my class is made up of students ages 3 to 5 with special needs and communication delays. I love this app! It is quick and easy to use. It was also one of the more affordable apps too. As I have been using this with my class, there is one thing (so far) that I would like to see.... It would be great if you could see all 40 pictures at once while using the storyboards. The pictures would have to of course be small to fit them all on one screen, but I have an iPad, so I think that my students would still be able to use the device effectively with smaller pictures. I have notice that it is harder for the to scroll down to see more choices and then remember what they have already seen. It would be great to have the option for smaller pictures so that you could display all 40 on the same screen without scrolling. :o) I recommend this app for anyone working with students that have communication delays. Thanks for creating a great app. Kelly ### 5/5 — This is a clear example of how technology is revolutionizing education *2011-03-24, version 1.8* Grembe apps have make a significant contribution not only to children with special needs but also to parents and teachers who experienced on a daily basis the need for "something more". iCommunicate is an app that can have so many uses. Grembe keeps coming with some great updates. I highly recommend this app for students and teacher who need access to an easy to use app with a great deal of vocabulary. ### 5/5 — I use it in speech Therapy *2011-02-13, version 1.76* This app has a variety of words and symbols to help meet the communication needs of my non-verbal students. If I need to add a photo that is more specific to my lesson I have the option of adding it and putting my voice to the icon. This app is also good for creating a great visual schedule on the go. Thanks for a great app. ## Frequently asked questions about iCommunicate. ### What is iCommunicate used for? iCommunicate is used to design visual schedules, storyboards, communication boards, routines, flash cards, and choice boards.
