Pictello Visual Stories
Develop language and literacy
App shuts down iPad
When my son tries to create stories, the app rarely works and if it does work it freezes his iPad for hours afterwards. Waste of money.

this app is not the quality I thought I was paying for
Preschool to Teens
Pictello is an app that is useful in so many venues. Make stories with preschoolers about there day, activities, and people they love. Use it for older youngsters to tell stories and read aloud. It is so useful with those non-speaking with voice output. Everything can be personalized. It’s a really inexpensive and highly versatile app. I love it!

Not worth it
Not worth it at all. Does not pick up my sons voice accurately. Cant delete pages that you don’t want. Very frustrating.
Autistic children growing up
I am an autistic woman who was originally nonverbal and forced to speak in different therapies. They would drill me to repeat different phrases but I felt like I was saying nothing because I was just repeating what other people wanted me to say. I use all of the different assistiveware apps in different communication situations. They listened to autistic people and converted our natural dialect and communications into apps that really work for us. For the first time since I was seven years old, I finally found my authentic autistic voice. I am myself again. Thank you autistic community and thank you assistiveware.
Pictillo has allowed me to accommodate myself as an adult by letting make my own visual schedule like my teachers used to do for me as a little girl. My anxiety and fixation has reduced so much.

Problème avec la voix
Il y a un bug j’ai téléchargé la voix de Valentin et je l’ai coché mais à chaque fois la lecture se fait avec la voix de margaud ( très robotique). Même quand je la supprime, la voix revient.
Response from developer
Bonjour Sonia, dans Pictello, il y a une voix par défaut mais aussi une voix associée à chaque histoire, ou page de l’histoire. Vous tentez peut-être de modifier la voix par défaut mais si la voix Manon est associée à l’histoire alors ce sera celle-là qui sera utilisée pour la lecture. N’hésitez pas à nous écrire à support@assistiveware.com pour nous décrire plus précisément votre problème, notre équipe d’assistance sera heureuse de vous aider à le résoudre.

That was nice.
So I found your app, and then on 2/5/2020, I came up with an idea! I decided to make Education For US Money! It took probably 30 minutes to make! My mom paid $18.99! While the app was downloading I was using the camera to take pictures for it it was amazing! I could probably educate kids about money now a days! Just great. I mean seriously!

Poor quality
The sound recorder does nothing, it should pop open a request for permission. Adding a video causes it to start “compressing” it (even though it is already), but then it just sits there forever doing nothing, without even showing a progress bar, and then the screen turns off. After the screen is put back on the “compressing” task is lost. The interface is hard to understand. There a plenty of cheaper and better alternatives to this app.

Sound recording bug
I am a teacher returning to Pictello and am experiencing issues with recording sound. Also have a student who has issues with recording sound. Why? Not inexpensive app that worked well in the past.
Attempted to query with the developer following the App Store link. No contact details - just a pop up ‘get your feedback’ window on the website. Effective to leave feedback, but not for communication re a product issue. Ironic considering that your business is AAC!

I’ve been using for years!
I love this app. Very easy to use. I’ve made multiple social stories from potty training to playing on the playground- I love it! I also make a lot of “my favorites” stories. Recently I started having my son use it to make books for his drawings. Easy to use. Thank you!!!
Trop cher pour ce que c’est
Pas trop mal, mais franchement c’est cher que l’outil développé. La synthèse vocale n’est pas terrible (très robot) et il y a vraiment peu de choix dans la mise en page.
Si jamais su je me serais contentée de keynotes, qui certes n’a pas la synthèse vocale, mais qui remplit tout à fait la fonction de cahier de vie.

One problem
Love the app. Very user friendly however for the amount of money it costs, you should be able to email with audio. Only disappointing thing about this app
Love the app! Hate the update: shouldn’t change look when issuing an update.
We love this app, it has been robust, and we have been using it daily everywhere for my non-verbal teenage son for more than 2 years (for activity schedules, photo albums he shares with peers, and almost everything we can think of). WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE BUTTONS? Since the app update, we have to reteach the app. My son stopped using the buttons because . the color scheme changed, and the forward/backward buttons are orange and less visually distinct. Don’t make things cutesy for this population!!! Any visual changes are a major change for people with cognitive and visual-processing differences. Don’t do it again. This time we’ll put the hours in to reteach it. Next time offer the option of retaining the old look and feel or accepting the changes with any updates your designers want to make.

Why it's bad
You deleted how to make a story
Love it!
Pictello has become a communication bridge between home and daycare centre/preschool for us and our ASD daughter. Her carers and ourselves make story books about her day, which she will then speak about. App is easy and quick to use. Is improving language and comprehension skills, as well as connecting us all ensuring consistency. Brilliant! Only upgrade possible would be ability to export as a movie to share with those who don't have iPads or the app. Huge thanks!

How do I share stories?
Um, this needs work. Where is the story code to share? Can I pull pics off the Internet ?
No bilingual
Can't use different languages for same photo?
Great app!!!
Sorry about the stars before the update would have rated 5 stars but since the update with the video made.. It keeps crashing while making a story, please fix this as soon as possible
