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.
Panda pal
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!
Great combination app!
This is a great combination app. Very nice to have the schedule, AAC, and first/then all use same icon/pictures. Seems so logical but no other company has done this. I have found it very confusing for my son to not have the same pics in apps and usually dump my least favorite and try to find ones where I can change all the icons/photos. Very nicely done.

Great app
AAC, first/then and scheduled all in one. AND it uses the same pictures for all of these options, what a great feature for a beginner user. Very soothing voice and easy to use app.
A wonderful PEC system!!
This app is a great change from using a paper picture exchange communication. I found it to be very thorough and easy to navigate and something I could easily teach my nonverbal child. The pictures are bright and engaging. And, it comes with extra bang for your buck! You get three apps in one. The AAC, First Then, and Scheduler. I recommend checking it out.

Real Life and easy to use
Wonderful real life photos with a loveable Panda Pal in this easy to use ACC app. Lots of categories to choose from and easy to add/delete items. Sign language as well for those non-verbal who think on that wavelength.
The app has a pleasant voice that will repeat the PEC choosen. I love the search option as well, very easy to use.
A+ to this developer

Great for adults!
This is the best AAC app available on the market!! I'm a Speech Therapist and I use this app with an adult client with Autism and so far it's been great. This app is very versatile and it allows me to modify it to fit all of my clients needs. Is super easy to navigate and user friendly and all my clients have made significant progress. The photos are very clear and the voice quality is excellent. This app is definitely worth every penny!! Thanks!!

Takes the place of three apps in our house
I love that this has multiple functions all using the same pictures. It is really nice to be able to have a schedule, first/then, and communication system that all use the same pictures. Much easier for my child to learn. I like that the app is so intuitive and I could just pick it up and use it.

PandaPal-Autism
By: Papadiz
This program is designed with both child and parent in mind. The if/ then functions help with chaining communication. Use of real pictures is great, although the panda is a little too cute for my taste. The program was easy to use from the start and operated without any glitches.

Excellent app
This is a great parent/teacher/child friendly communication board. I love the first-then set up and the ability to personalize pictures and add sequences to the favorites folder. A great addition to the app field!
Great App!
One of the things I love most about this app are the realistic pictures and especially the feelings. I have a hard time figuring out what a sad face drawing is compared to scared, so it was refresshing to see a real person. I also love that there are ques to help those that need it, a nice addition to any app! Another great addition is the ability to record! Thaks for doing a spectacular job!!!

Love for schedules!
This app is great for making schedules for those kids that need that visual comformation of what is expected and what is coming next. I really like the real life pictures that can be used as well as the signs for words. I can see this being a great benefit for some special needs people. I have a little boy in mind right now that this app will be used with very soon!

3 in 1
I like this app so far. I really like that it's a first/then app, schedule app and AAC app all in one. It is set up pretty well too and there are different options for the size of the pictures. It seems like a pretty good AAC option for those looking for one.
A good app I am sure.
This app seems to be really good. I am wondering if my system downloaded it correctly, because there are no pictures. I wish there had been instructions there to help me set it up. It seems to be a lot of work to set up, but once it is done, I am sure it is extremely useful!
WOW
If you love being able to use an app as it is and having the ability to customize it, then you are in luck. That is what this app can do. The settings can also be edited to the user's ability. Love the real pictures that are used for words/phrases.
Great...awesome
I can't wait to use this app with my students!! All in one app is great. I really liked the first/then ...schedule. I like all of it. Lots of options and choices.
Good AAC app
This is an app that can be used for communication, for picture schedules and for first-then activities. The picture sizes can be changed to 5 different sizes. It is easy to add pictures and record voice output for each picture. I really like the first-then feature. I can see this app used both by parents and in school settings. Overall I like the app. My only concern is that having the word in the middle of each pictures tends to "block" the picture. I wish that there was some choice of where the word could be placed, either at the top or bottom.
