The app support is not helpful, as the wait time for response is horrible. I want a refund of my subscription paid. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com with details, so we can help you better. ### 1/5 — Shown as free, pay to use. *2024-09-19* It is free to download and install, but you literally cant do anything except choose grid size before you have to pay. there are better, free programs. ### 1/5 — App is NOT free! *2023-12-10* This app is advertised as free but it is definitely NOT free. You can only choose a voice before you have to select which plan you wish to purchase. Disappointing. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com. ### 1/5 — Decent app when it works *2023-09-10* App is so glitchy when it comes to adding or editing cards. Signing in is also bugged if you have the main Otsimo app and the slp app **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com with details, so we can help. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2023-09-02* Overpriced rubbish. They’re deleting my reviews. Unauthorised Money taken from my account. Apple wont refund and developers bot tells you only apple can refund. $140 GONE for an app that won’t even be used. **Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry you're having this problem. Unfortunately, all payments are handled by Apple and it is not a process we manage. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com ### 2/5 — No lifetime option, no way to explore without signing in *2025-09-14* 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. ### 2/5 — I need tech support *2024-08-03* I’ve sent a lot of emails to try to have a couple questions answered but the help is just a bot. I love the app but I want to know if I can lock the home screen so the kids can’t get into the editing mode and I need to know if the customization transfers from one device to the other because when I installed it on another device, it only brought over a couple pictures and then I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it didn’t bring over anything. I’ve sent numerous emails and haven’t got a response so if someone could help with this **Developer response:** Hey there! Unfortunately Otsimo AAC currently does not have this feature, however we will take your suggestion into consideration in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com. ### 2/5 — I need tech support *2024-07-01* I’ve sent a lot of emails to try to have a couple questions answered but the help is just a bot. I love the app but I want to know if I can lock the home screen so the kids can’t get into the editing mode or do some type of password protection so the kids can’t get into edit mode please someone answer my question. If I can do that, it’ll be a five star review and a customer for life **Developer response:** Hey there! Unfortunately Otsimo AAC currently does not have this feature, however we will take your suggestion into consideration in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com. ### 3/5 — Have to buy *2023-06-14* It is advertised as free but when you get on it you can’t do anything without a subscription. I bet it’s a good AAC device so if you’re willing to pay maybe it will be good. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com. ### 4/5 — It's as shown *2026-04-16, version 1.0.250508* 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 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — We prefer this *2026-04-16* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your comment!

I was worried it might be just for kids but it's NOT. Thank you Otsimo! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-10-08* 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 ### 5/5 — recommended *2024-10-08* Very easy to use, my nonverbal kid can tell me what he wants to eat and whatever he needs thanks to this app ### 5/5 — Practical and fun *2024-10-08* it was super easy to learn how to use, so glad i came across this. customization feature is great too ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-10-01* Custom words and images feature is amazing, really helps my kid communicating in his daily life ### 5/5 — Wonderful and functions as designed and intended *2024-04-26* I don’t have any criticisms about the app itself, I just wish there was an option for a lifetime purchase or free option. There are so many subscriptions or services kept behind paywalls and I’d love for this to be ownable. Unless I missed there being a way to own this app. That’s all though, nothing else but a glowing commendation. ### 5/5 — Best AAC in the market 🙌 *2024-04-02* My kiddo is 4 years old and doesn't quite talk yet, but this app has been a game-changer for us. It lets them communicate with me by tapping on pictures and symbols, and it even speaks what they "say" out loud. There's a bunch of stuff already loaded in the app, but I can also add my own pictures and words which is super helpful. It's been amazing to see my kid finally able to express themselves, and I love that the app is free to try! Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time share this lovely review with us!
