### 4/5 — Great App! Wish the volume was louder

*2025-04-12*

I’m an adult with autism who gets overwhelmed easily, and I’ve started to use this as a buffer to help me communicate with those around me. It’s been fantastic, I just wish you could turn the volume up more without needing the volume maxed out.

### 3/5 — Greeting on startup

*2024-10-15, version 2.7.6*

I posted a review about this at least a year ago. Please fix the app so that when you turn off the greeting on startup it actually turns off? Please. The app is great aside from that but that one flaw is a dealbreaker.

### 4/5 — really good app but it could have something else!

*2024-10-12, version 2.7.6*

i really like this app but there should be a name pronounciation setting!

### 4/5 — speaks to  fast

*2024-09-16, version 2.7.6*

:(

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2024-05-26*

It doesn’t have a lot of important phrases and also accessibility should be free.

Edit: I’m still gonna pay it because it’s the only one of these apps that has a comforting ui but really? Shame on you.

### 4/5 — muito bom, mas poderia melhorar.

*2024-05-09, version 2.7.6*

é um app muito bom, você pode escrever as frases que quiser, selecionar as frases do próprio app… mas o que eu não gosto muito é o fato de não poder mais mudar a voz, em uma versão antiga era possível selecionar uma voz diferente, agora só temos 2 opções de voz e ambas são femininas.

### 4/5 — Only one problem

*2023-07-07*

I love this app but after two sentences it stopped reading out loud. Even if i used preprogrammed words or tried to have it say a category it just wouldnt. I love the art and the ease of use though! Its my favourite AAC app i just wish it wouldnt break.

### 2/5 — ???

*2023-06-30, version 2.7.0*

I work with children with autism and downloaded this app but when I type in a phrase it rambles off with a sentence that dosnt make sense before what I typed it said. 
It dosnt make sense

### 3/5 — Good and simple but

*2023-06-26*

very very sensitive, scrolling to press a different card will often open and speak the card you tapped to scroll with, making keeping a sentence coherent very difficult :/

### 4/5 — I love this app but…

*2023-06-26, version 2.7.0*

I would love it even more if the packs and the tiles themselves could be added too and or edited, it feels really limiting, I know I can type but I have wrist and hand problems that makes this hard, since I and a lot of other people are paying quite a lot of money for the premium version of this app, it would be nice to make it perfect for myself.

### 2/5 — Broken

*2023-06-26, version 2.7.0*

I really like the app. Simple and easy to use. But the voice is broken... Makes it quite unusable. :(((

### 3/5 — Why no sorry

*2023-06-18, version 2.7.0*

Sorry not an option I can find. Also why can’t see packs before get premium cause don’t know if want anything in it. Also would like option to make less childish cause I’m adult. Sorry not good at writing currently nonverbal in way that make typing hard.

### 3/5 — 구독 관련

*2023-04-20, version 2.7.0*

3일 무료 체험 있어서 이용하고자 구독을 눌렀는데 바로 결제가 되버렸네요..
결제 알림 뜨자마자 바로 구독 취소했습니다. 전액 환불 부탁드릴게요!

### 4/5 — I love the app but I do have 1 problem

*2023-04-03*

As said in the title, I love the app but have a problem with it 

After a few words or sentences it stops working. It will not say what I have clicked on or typed after only a few words and I have to close out of the app

Other then that the app is amazing and very helpful

### 2/5 — Issues

*2023-03-19, version 2.7.0*

It was a wonderful app to use for a good period of time but now it’s no longer working and it’s saying every command before it. Even gets to my chosen word.

### 4/5 — I love this app

*2022-12-16*

As an autistic person who’s very aesthetically oriented this app felt perfect for me since I can’t bear to look at most of these types of apps. My only issue I’d say is that it reads out the categories you’re clicking on which makes me feel like I’m being interrupted and people can easily guess or assume what I’m about to say, nor does it really let me use manners. I wish there was an option for it not to read the category you click on :(

### 4/5 — I love it!

*2022-12-02*

This app is one of the only ones I found that could cater to my needs! I am an autistic teen and go through periods of being nonverbal due to stress, anxiety, or I’m purely incapable. This app is a bit more child oriented and would be a lot better if it had adult options. Another thing is the fact it has other available packs, but they cost money. Not all of us have the support system or the ability to pay and it sort of hinders me from communicating fully what I need. I use this for school, around friends and my boyfriend, and sometimes struggle to find the correct phrase. Other then that this is a wonderful app!

### 4/5 — shark

*2022-11-27, version 2.6.8*

please add a shark to the animals tab, i like sharks :]

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated.. Breachful

*2025-10-07*

I entered my email and password and logged in and this app logged me into someone else’s account in another country. They account info was like fatimaSOMETHING. Far from my info, far from the US. The language I could not understand so I tried to sign out and accidently deleted that person’s account.. how did it sign me into some one else’s stuff I dont know. But thats breachful. App needs an update. Could cause issues for innocent people.

### 1/5 — Sneaky don’t tell you it’s a 3day trail until after you create a account

*2025-03-20, version 2.7.6*

Sneaky said I need to sign it I signed up and it didn’t say anything about a free 3days trail until after I signed up and my son using this app your sneaky you better not charge me or I’m contacting my bank and I deleted this app

### 1/5 — The voice broke?

*2023-04-06, version 2.7.0*

when i try to do anything, a voice (not the one i selected mind you) reads the code out loud instead of reading what it says. For example, 

I select the voice “Eddy” and instead of Eddy’s voice saying “This is a test voice,” The default female TTS voice says this:

“Speak voice name = com.app.eloquence.en-US.Eddy this is a test voice voice speak “

it was not doing this earlier and when I was figuring it out more after closing the app for house, I came back to this. I uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted my phone, nothing’s working!!!

### 1/5 — It won’t let me use the app at all

*2022-11-26, version 2.6.7*

At the beginning sign up page whenever i try and log in, an error pops up telling me to make sure I’m connected to the internet and try again. My wifi is fine. Tried deleting and reinstalling too but still the same issue. Id really like to use this app as it would help me out a lot please fix this bug

### 1/5 — keeps crashing and soft locking itself

*2022-11-26, version 2.6.7*

Unuasable due to bad design. Can not access any of the app functions without making an account and logging in but the app will not allow an account to be made. If attempting to log in through apple or by gmail it crashes and claims it can not find an internet connection even if the device is connected. Trying to sign up for a new account doesn’t work either as it refuses to load past the login screen. Can not access the communication page and was a very frustrating experience to try to make this completely unuasable app work (unsuccessfully)

### 1/5 — sign up

*2022-11-26, version 2.6.7*

wanted to try this app but it won't even let me sign up, it keeps giving me the error message or not working at all.

### 1/5 — :(

*2022-11-26, version 2.6.7*

Wasn’t letting me register:/

### 1/5 — Crashes All The Time

*2022-09-14*

I would love to give this a five star, but honestly when I use it, it’s because I go nonverbal, and the way it always crashes on me in the middle of nonverbal episodes make them worse because I am struggling to communicate already 

I have a iPhone 12

**Developer response:** Hello, we have fixed this issue causing iPhone 12+ devices to crash during search. Can you have a look at v2.6.1 

Let us know if you have any other issues by emailing info@as­sis­tive­card­s.­com

### 1/5 — wont open

*2022-02-18*

as soon as i chose my icon the screen goes blank. i really wanted to use this as it seemed really intuitive and easy to use.  on an iphone SE 2020

### 1/5 — Effective

*2020-10-02, version 2.1.5*

It’s really good for autism kids to learn many things

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-04-01, version 2.7.6*

This app is so amazing 😉

### 5/5 — the best AAC

*2026-02-19*

i love that i don't have to "collect" words separately, it makes everything quicker. BUT it would be nice if it got a lil bit more translation to different languages. i understand english but not all my friends do.

### 5/5 — Useful App!

*2025-03-05*

I am a 20-year-old autistic person and occasionally go nonverbal, especially while during/after a meltdown, and during these times, my boyfriend struggles to communicate with me, so I decided to download this to stop either of us from becoming frustrated. Like a lot of other reviews said, it is more directed at children, but because I enjoy cute and childish things, I actually prefer it!

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2025-01-18*

I really like the app it helps my daughter communicate with her friends she has autism and this is so helpful and it helps her build confidence she’s starting to be able to talk a little now great app !

### 5/5 — I LOVE YOU LEELOO

*2024-04-01, version 2.7.6*

Today was the first day I was non Verbal for the first half of my day :c
People kept asking me stuff and I had to get my sibling to respond because I knew they would think something was up with me if I used a text to speech app to talk:c
I’m not sure why this app has bad ratings,it’s the best app ever!1!1!

Anyways I love you leeloo!1!<3

P.S:
Metalocalypse,SUPERJAIL,12 oz mouse,Southpark,and the boondocks are AWSOME XD

### 5/5 — Great AAC!

*2023-07-27, version 2.7.6*

I am autistic and have a selective mutism. This app is great for when I am non verbal. I do agree that the costs are (in my opinion) unnecessary but everyone needs to make money one way or another. Overall, it’s a great app for autistics and non verbal individuals! Thank you

### 5/5 — 좋아요

*2023-06-16, version 2.7.0*

좋습니다

### 5/5 — Helped me a lot!

*2023-01-07, version 2.7.0*

Best app so far that I’ve seen! I really liked how it had a lot of subjects and also have a type option!

### 5/5 — Great app, but..

*2022-12-31*

I love this app, i have autism and i go nonverbal a lot so it’s a big help, it’s not confusing or frustrating for the most part.. sometimes when i’m using the app the voice cuts off and it won’t turn back on unless i close the app and open it over again and it’s very confusing, other than that it’s a great app

### 5/5 — perfect

*2022-10-18, version 2.6.1*

madly in love with this app
