### 5/5 — Misthi

*2022-01-22*

Amazing App, kudos to all team members and founder. This gave voice to our child

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2020-01-23*

Seems like a nice app for non verbal kids to talk in Hindi.
Really appreciate the developers for efforts. God bless.

### 1/5 — Can’t Register

*2019-05-04*

Downloaded app and can’t get through the registration page. Seems to be some issue with the orientation/set-up. In one area I choose “USA”, then something pops up asking for “country code”, but there is no where to put a code of any kind. I deleted the app, but would like to try to download again when the kinks are worked out. App sounds promising.

**Developer response:** Dear Chewit,

You can tap the red button with a "+" mark on it. It is located to the left of the mobile number section. This will open up a dialog with a list of countries then choose your country to get the country code. Fill the rest of the details and tap on "Register" button.

We hope the above information will help you. If you still having difficulty kindly email us on "jellowcommunicator@gmail.com", we will definitely help you. If your difficulty is resolved, kindly consider to review your rating.

Thank you.


regards,

Jellow Team
