Ребенок не находит ее при построении всех следующих предложений. Перед последним обновлением этот лаг почти пропал или появлялся крайне редко. Сейчас он появляется в 100%. ### 2/5 — Ненадежный пароль приложения *2025-04-09, version 1.3.11* Ребенку 6 лет перешли с бумажных пексов на планшет. Ваш четырехзначный пароль он легко вводит и удаляет вкладки с карточками. Прошу вас усложнить пароль добавив символы и заглавные и строчные буквы. Сделайте эту работу как можно скорее иначе добавив карточки он их удаляет, я не могу и прятать планшет т.к это его речь и 24/7 не могу быть с ребенком ### 4/5 — Исправьте ошибки *2025-04-04, version 1.3.10* После обновления не работает воспроизведение при нажатии и перенос карточки при нажатии! И дело не в настройках, кроме обновления ничего не изменили ### 3/5 — Pecs *2025-02-07, version 1.3.3* Здравствуйте. Задваиваются карточки. Появляется одна и та же карточка на нескольких страницах. Приходится перезагружать приложение. Что очень затрудняет ребенку общение. ### 5/5 — Проблемы исправлены *2024-10-25, version 1.0.11* Исправляю отзыв. Разработчики открыты к разговору и очень быстро поправили проблемы. Возможно, на совсем старых планшетах, как у меня, может быть торможение в полсекунды при загрузке пользовательских карточек. В целом все работает, много цветов для вкладок, что облегчает поиск нечитающим детям, в каждой вкладке заложено по три страницы. Есть возможность сделать резервную копию прямо в приложении. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение для детей с аутизмом *2024-10-23, version 1.0.11* Приложение позволяет общаться детям, которые не могут говорить.
