We prefer this
We switched to otsimo from another aac app and the experience is honestly better. The voice is very clear and my son actually prefers it.
It's as shown
The verb conjugations feature is something I didn't expect to appreciate so much. My daughter can say "I wanted" or "I will go" instead of just single words. It makes her communication feel so much more natural

I'm autistic and I use this app on high-anxiety days when speaking is hard. I was worried it might be just for kids but it's NOT. Thank you Otsimo!
No lifetime option, no way to explore without signing in
The permissions are lengthy but I really wanted to test out this app to see how it compared to other AAC apps, so I signed in through Apple, even though I do not like signing in just to use an app. After picking the size grid I wanted to try out, it immediately prompted me to sign up for a 3 or 7 day trial, and would not allow me to proceed in the app. So there is no way to actually test out the app, without signing up for something first. No lifetime option is also a problem- if I were able to test out the app and liked it, I would only purchase it as a pay-once, lifetime option. Also, there should be a way to explore at least the basics of this communication app without signing up for yet another trial that turns in to a subscription if you don’t cancel in time.

Good
I use this with some of my clients and they love it and use it at home as well. The user friendly interface, extensive symbol library, and customizable features is a great help with communication
