I've gone through few activities . The one thing which should be done is changing language . Everything is in Spanish. I was on this app for few days. I need to say this is really fantastic app. Has such many options. I needed a bit of time to discover possibilities such user and put option easy.But really need to say very, very good job. Need patient to make activities but otherwise it's fantastic ### 5/5 — More Details About the App *2012-08-25, version 1.5.9* The app is in english, but the activities built into the app are in spanish. When you click the edit icon on the main activities screen, then click the add icon, you will see all other screens are in english, allowing you to create an activity Please note: if you go to add an anamation, everything is in Spanish. All in all, you should be able to find out that the app itself is in English. Hopefully you will find this helpful. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Es estupenda, una aplicación excelente *2012-05-16, version 1.5.8* La ultima actualización no me funciona en el iPhone ### 5/5 — Genial!!! *2012-01-18, version 1.5.6* Muy bien pensada ### 5/5 — Fantástico comunicador *2011-11-11, version 1.5.4* Es una aplicación fantástica, con un montón de posibilidades, y muy útil como comunicador. He utilizado pictogramas de Arasaac, también de uso libre y gratuito, y el resultado es un comunicador perfectamente útil y funcional, totalmente personalizado y sin coste económico. Gracias a los desarrolladores por proporcionarnos una herramienta de calidad tan necesaria para nuestros chicos. ¡¡MIL GRACIAS!! ### 5/5 — Lo mejor!!! GRACIAS *2011-05-13, version 1.4.3* Es la mejor forma que tiene mi hijo Alejandro para comunicarse: puede elegir, hacemos la agenda,... GRACIAS ### 5/5 — Muy recomendable *2011-03-05, version 1.4.3* Esta app ha resultado excelente para nuestro hijo con autismo. No solo le ha encantado sino que se le pueden diseñar actividades de cosas que debe aprender. No se puede pedir más siendo gratis. ### 1/5 — This program keeps crashing when I open it *2011-02-09, version 1.4.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Fully customizable *2011-02-06, version 1.4.2* 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! ### 2/5 — Misleading *2011-01-27, version 1.4.2* 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. ## Frequently asked questions about Picaa ### What is Picaa?
