This program keeps crashing when I open it

It used to work great until latest update. Now it crashes right after opening.
It took me a long time to upload all my pictures and now it doesn't work!

Fully customizable

I got this app even after reading the reviews of it being in Spanish because I figured that it could have an option to change the language as many apps have. After getting the app, I saw that, yes, it was in Spanish, and there was no option for English. So then I explored the app and realized that it is able to be edited, adding your own things, etc. So, I changed the typed words to English, then realized the editing option for 'custom tts' allows you to type the spoken word also. My daughter has an aac device so I am used to programming it. After I changed the spoken word, it spoke English! The words on this app are not a pre-recorded voice but similar to an aac device where it says the words that you type. Therefor the app is incredible and fully customizable. You can add your own pictures and whatever you want the words to be also. I would definitely have paid for this app, but really appreciate the fact that it is free! If you want something you can customize yourself, than this is it!

Misleading

The pictures show a wonderful application that could have great possibilities for theraputic reasons... however; it is in Spanish. While I can read a few words here and there, I am SURE my students will not be able to. If you have bilingual students, this would be a great app, but for English students it's not applicable.
