Unable to get Panda Pal to open

I was very excited as a SLP to use this with my students who have autism but I am unable to get the app to open. I was able to register it but that is as far as I could get. I have an updated 2016 IPad and the app info says it should work. Please fix, as I would really like to try it.

This app is so stupid because it keeps closing on me when I am trying to open it

Great features but no SEARCH function :( 4 stars with that added

I picked this up for FREE and was surprised at all the great features, options (a first-then and schedule option!!) and customization of icon sizes, color etc. I also like the history feature where a user's utterances, or even past first-then boards, or schedules, can be pulled up for use again, along with info a helper can edit to include whether the utterance was independent, or prompted-that is a unique feature. One MAJOR glaring error though-which means I sadly won't be using it because it is not convenient the way it is currently set up- there is no SEARCH function to make it easy to quickly add photos on the fly with the schedule and first-then options-two features which really make this app awesome, as everything is all in one place. Right now you have to scroll through all the existing icons to the bottom, where the icons you save go... If you add a search feature I would definitely recommend this to those who want an all-in-one communication set up, and are willing to put in the time to customize it with their own vocabulary.

Crashing?

I’m a SLP and just downloaded this app to try with one of my students. I like the layout and was adjusting the settings to get a feel for it. The app then crashed and every time I try, it will not reopen. I restarted my iPad hoping that would help but it hasn’t. I tried to email you directly via app support but the link didn’t work.

WoW! What an AWESOME app!

This is an amazing app. I allows the student to use his/her voice, it is a sequencer, and scheduler. You can use your own pictures as a visual cue. This app has been very well thought out and put together! A very affordable app that does so many different tasks, Thank You Panda Pal!
