Go into Settings ---> Accessability ----> User Mode and toggle it on. Tiles do not display text, only emojis. User would tap an emoji for "I want" and it would speak "I want", then the user would tap an Emoji of an Apple and it would say "apple". Then user would tap the green Play button and the AI would generate and speak a sentence "I want an Apple, please". The Sentence Bar would only display emojis in User Mode. To get out of User Mode, triple tap and a window would open asking for a pin. This is so the user cannot change the interface, removing confusion. ### 1.6 — 2026-03-25 Simplifying the user experience through interface improvements Interface updates for a cleaner, more intuitive experience Streamlining the app with smarter UI design Making navigation clearer and more intuitive UI refinements to reduce friction and confusion ### 1.5.5 — 2026-03-22 AI Phrase Suggestions Intelligent phrase suggestions now appear as you build sentences. The system combines multiple sources — time-of-day context, your communication history, sentence completion patterns, and optional cloud-powered AI — to suggest full phrases you might want to say. Suggestions appear as tappable pills below the prediction bar. Enable cloud suggestions in Settings under AI & Predictions. Haitian Creole Language Support LumaVoice now supports Haitian Creole as a full language option, including translated tiles, UI strings, and text-to-speech using an optimized French voice engine. Five languages are now available: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Haitian Creole. Unified Care Dashboard A comprehensive new dashboard for therapists, educators, and caregivers. View communication analytics, track therapy goals, monitor learning progress, review session history, and manage IEP data — all in one place. Access it from the main toolbar. Expanded Modeling Mode Modeling Mode has been expanded with new structured scenarios across four categories — Basics, School, Home, and Real-World contexts. Step-by-step guided modeling helps caregivers and therapists demonstrate effective AAC use with visual tile highlighting and scenario completion tracking. Haptic & Sound Feedback Feel a satisfying vibration every time you tap a tile on iPhone, or hear a soft tap sound on iPad. Choose between Light, Medium, and Heavy intensity in Settings under Accessibility. Feedback can be turned off entirely if preferred. Tile Tap Animation Tiles now respond with a smooth bounce and blue glow flash when tapped, giving clear visual confirmation that your tap was registered. The animation works on both iPhone and iPad. Favorites Category Star your most-used tiles and access them instantly from the new Favorites category, pinned right after Routines in the category bar. Long-press any tile and tap "Add to Favorites" to pin it. No more navigating through categories for everyday words. Color Swatches Color tiles now display actual colored squares matching their name instead of generic emojis. Red shows a red square, Navy shows a dark blue square, Lavender shows a purple square — 43 colors rendered accurately. Sentence Bar Auto-Scroll The sentence bar now scrolls horizontally and automatically keeps your latest word visible as you build longer sentences. Swipe left to review the beginning of your sentence. Scan to Symbol Renamed from "Photo to Symbol" to better describe the feature — point your camera at objects and the app matches them to communication tiles in real-time. Emoji Fixes Over 130 tile emojis corrected across the app. Tiles like People, Home, Happy, Dessert, Halloween, Birthday, and many more now display the right emoji instead of unrelated symbols. ### 1.5.4 — 2026-03-04 Bug fixes ### 1.5.3 — 2026-03-03 Bug Fixes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
