Too bad ### 4/5 — Great, but very glitchy. *2022-06-17* Purchased this app for my son ( who is autistic and non-verbal ) He took to this app very quickly as it resembles his “analog” PECS binder almost exactly. I DO have some issues with glitches in the app, and would love to discuss these glitches, and what can be done to resolve the issues. Otherwise, we LOVE this app!!! ### 4/5 — Low tech to high tech *2021-11-19, version 1.1.11* The PECS phase IV+ app is the perfect transition system for students who are going from a communication book to a sound generating device. The jump from a communication book to a large vocabulary system can often be to overwhelming and we lose the student. This app is a stepping stone for many of our students and seeing their communication book on the iPad makes sense to them and is an easy transition. We build vocabulary and work on expanding sentences while they continue to utilize functional communication. While the Phase IV+ app has many features and qualities to facilitate a student transitioning for it to be on par with other communication apps it highly needs a way to back up the student’s individualized and specific pages. Working in a school system where students devices get broken or changed a back up forum is a necessity. This app is perfect for those students who are capable of creating sentence and mastered Phase IV, sentence structure. They have learned how to communicate and will now learn how to use a high tech system that is individualized to their personal communication book. ### 3/5 — Please help *2020-01-28* I don’t seem to be able to add pictures from the web there’s no option in the app , I purchased this app as I thought I could add my own pictures or ones from the web , can you tell me how to fix this problem , it seems to be possible in the tutorial. Thanks ### 1/5 — So many issues *2019-10-27, version 1.1.7* Has an artificial limit for some reason. People have been asking them to up the limit or remove it, but they don’t care. The page’s will randomly lose their layout. It also desperately needs a sync feature. Do yourself a favor and get something better. ### 5/5 — So easy to use worth the price *2019-06-17* Hi there, I have a daughter with severe autism and she absolutely loves this app. She can navigate it and use it properly unlike other apps. It’s not to complex and she can’t get into the settings and delete everything. She can now communicate with me and others like her teachers for example or in a emergency situation she can tell people her name. I love it. We mastered all of the pecs phases with the traditional pecs books too! ### 4/5 — Great, but needs more PECs symbols *2018-11-14* The ease of use is great, but there weren’t enough of the universal PECs symbols available. Examples help, break, thank you, etc. There are 2 sets of symbols usually, very detailed ones & simplified ones(stick figures). ### 2/5 — Solo trabaja en iPad *2018-05-16, version 1.1.5* Me gustaria poder bagarlo en mi iPhone no Siempre tengo la iPad conmigo 100 por el app minimum que se baje en in iPhone ### 1/5 — Volume doesn't work *2017-04-06, version 1.0.11* When I updated the device the volume on the Pecs program stopped working. I have to reboot the device for the volume to work. Not good when your autistic child is non verbal and can't use her words. ### 4/5 — Cloud *2017-02-12* Great software but need a way to save created content to the cloud i.e. icloud, google drive, onedrive or dropbox. 2 years in a row a students iPad had to be reset and that loses all the created content. ## Frequently asked questions about PECS IV+ ### Is PECS IV+ still available for new users?
