I’ve been battling ALS since 2012. I can no longer walk, talk, use my hands or even breathe on my own. This tool is my one and only tool to communicate with the world. You can even download your voice banking software. It has everything I need to easily communicate. What a perfect app. The ALS Experience - come see what the fuss is all about. (Facebook) **Developer response:** Thanks BigMike for the feedback which I will pass on to the team. ### 4/5 — Adequate *2024-06-12, version 7.0.1.0* Often have glitches and app crashes. Otherwise works fine ### 4/5 — Got acapela download to work *2022-06-08* Reset to default was the trick **Developer response:** Glad that everything is working for you ### 5/5 — Predictable *2021-04-09* My husband has a brain injury that has robbed him of the ability to speak this app has been so helpful and allows him to communicate and regain his confidence in social situations **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this feedback Lyn. Much appreciated ### 2/5 — DOESN’T ALLOW USERS IN - PLEASE FIX PASSWORD ISSUE *2021-01-31* Predictable is a fantastic app, and has become a really essential tool. Somehow, the current version doesn’t allow users in. No luck asking for a link to reset your password either. The app, as well as the website will tell you it has successfully sent an email, but nothing arrives. Why why why? Such an easy fix. Your paid users have to use the app in “Guest Mode.” Honestly, it’s almost cruel to have an app that’s so good that users have come to depend on it, and then somehow let a glitch lock them out. There are other reviews here that also seem to be struggling with password issues. Please fix this. **Developer response:** Good afternoon, Thank you for your feedback. Could you send your user email address to support@therapy-box.co.uk please so that we can help you login? Your user account might have encountered a migration issue between Predictable 5 and Predictable 6 database, we can fix it easily if you send us the concerned email address. Kind regards, Gabrielle ### 4/5 — Good App *2020-10-30* I’ve got this on work and personal devices and it works really well with my Acapela generated voice. One irritation is I can copy and paste into Predictable on one device but not the other? Both are iPads **Developer response:** Hi Andy - thanks for the feedback - we will check out the issue you've reported on your second iPad. Can you drop us a line at support@therapy-box.co.uk ### 4/5 — Suggestions for upgrades *2020-10-25* Hey, loving the app for my son but a few suggestions for improvements: - add child’s voices (eg: Liam Australian boy) - edit size of message window in grid view and adjust font size of message window - be able to edit the colour of font or background of an individual cell rather than all of the phrases altogether - be able to Edit each individual cell to determine if it speaks when touched or automatically. **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestions Meg. It is possible to adjust the size of the message window and font size for the message window by going to Theme >Colour & font size > grid layout. The other points I will add to our feature request list :) ### 4/5 — Was amazing until now *2020-08-18* So I love this app, it’s amazing and so helpful to me! I like the last version better though. It was simpler. **Developer response:** Hi Rebekah, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you are experiencing this issue. It seems to be account-related, which is usually quicker to solve! Could you contact us at support@therapy-box.co.uk providing your Predictable user account, please? So that we could solve it today. Thank you. Kind regards, Gabrielle ### 5/5 — Anthony *2020-06-04* This app makes speech easier and enables Drs etc to be able to understand how I’m feeling and what I need them to know **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback Anthony. Glad the app makes things easier ### 5/5 — Great AAC solution, responsive team *2020-01-22* I found this app to be a great solution for individuals who communicate primarily through typing. The interface is intuitive and offers some nice customizable options. It allows for preprogrammed messages for efficiency when necessary. The developers have been supportive and very responsive to questions. **Developer response:** Hi Kate, Thanks for leaving a positive review with feedback on the features that you find helpful. I will pass on your comments to the team. ### 4/5 — Great app... *2019-08-15* This is a great app, but when you are using this app, it keeps asking for your password. Please fix this. Also can you please make it full screen on the iPhone X? Thank you. ### 3/5 — Revised Rating *2019-03-25* The email I used first was from an old web page. When I found the new email it was responded to promptly. The glitch was an update. The company quickly rectified the problem with a patch(update). It is now my major method of communication. **Developer response:** Hi @Browny29606 - I'm glad we resolved the issue quickly for you, and to hear that Predictable is proving useful for you ### 3/5 — Lost my Australian lee voice too *2019-03-14* Where’s my Australian voice go. Stupid update. Not happy **Developer response:** Hi Clerk - you can use the Australian voices that iOS provides in the app. Contact us at support@therapy-box.co.uk if you need help further ### 5/5 — Predictable *2018-09-10* Great app for those who can’t speak **Developer response:** Hi @Sara 716 Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The team appreciates it, Rebecca ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Predictable 8 *2026-07-18* I want to give it no stars but it won’t let me, everything is wrong with it, it takes forever before it will say anything I write when I tap the speaker, even the delete takes forever, it also takes out a lot of words while I am typing or adds lines of words that I don’t won’t, it changed by layout and it won’t let me change it back. I am very upset with it and have to take a white board and marker now. It was awful trying to have a conversation with my cancer dr yesterday. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-07-07* Too expensive **Developer response:** We are sorry that you find the app to be too expensive. We try to be as affordable as possible and have kept the app at the same rate for many years and have provided free updates each time since launching in 2011. ### 1/5 — Why *2020-08-12* Why did you make it harder to use **Developer response:** Hi Pat, Please get in touch with support@therapy-box.co.uk and let us know which aspects are harder to use in the update so that we can try to help. ### 1/5 — iPhone app is awful *2020-01-18* I liked the design of the app, so I bought it primarily for iPhone. The app is atrocious. Hasn’t been updated in years for two rounds of larger screen size. Stay away **Developer response:** Hi, We note your concerns. We are about to release a new version to optimise for larger screen sizes. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2019-09-14* Keeps crashing and acapela voice does not work **Developer response:** Hi Ben, please get in touch with support@therapy-box.co.uk and we can troubleshoot the issue you are reporting. ### 1/5 — Unpredictable *2018-09-11* Nothing seems to work. I cannot set an account, the app closes if I try to use the preset sentences. The voices are from iOS so no big advantage compared with using the speak function in the iPad. Why is it so expensive? I am very disappointed. **Developer response:** Hi - can you get in touch with us at Support@therapy-box.co.uk and we can work through the issues you have reported. We have released a new version since your feedback, so this would have helped. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2017-03-26, version 5.0.3* App is a waste of money! Very poor speech, garbled to the point of unrecognizable. Poor customer service. I found it unnecessarily frustrating and should go back for fundamental work. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2015-08-06* I bought this app on the recommendation of my speech ànd language therapist. For the price I expected it to be something special. Frankly their are so many limitations that its poor value for money. The long winded ### 1/5 — I don't like it *2015-07-12* Why would you get rid of the Liquido voices ### 1/5 — It froze *2015-03-17, version 4.0* I bought this app yesterday. It is not working today. I need help with it or $160 down the tubes. For an ALS patient that is big. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-06-25* It’s great ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-02-21* This is my only form of communication. I am so thankful for this app. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback ### 5/5 — Predictable *2024-11-27* Predictable I suffered a head injury 🤕 nearly 30 years ago & this has badly affected my speech. Fortunately Predictable was created shortly afterwards by Therapy Box & I have used it since this time. It is relatively easy to operate & if you get stuck then there is a Team who will always assist you if they can. With technology improving over the years & if you know you are going to lose your ability to speak well, you can now record your voice to use when you need it. But one of the pluses for me is that the voice I use is ‘Kate’ & she sounds English. You have the choice of voices, male & female & accents too from most countries & none of them sound like Stephen Hawking’s synthetic voice. So if you have a speech impairment now or in the future, don’t despair because you will still be able to communicate with people if you have Predictable. **Developer response:** Thanks for your support @SueyJones. It means a lot to us too! ### 5/5 — Predictable *2024-06-04* This is THE BEST APP for communication. My disability stole my ability to speak. As a result, I rely heavily on my Predictable App. Yes. Of course, I still wish my voice would return. But, until that miracle happens, this app is the next best thing to my real voice. I really appreciate the people who created Predictable. Thank you so very much. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback which we will pass on to the team who work on Predictable ### 5/5 — Aaa *2023-05-19* Ffff **Developer response:** Thank you for your 5 star review. Please let us know if there are particular features that you are finding beneficial! Thank you for taking the time to leave a rating for Predictable. ### 5/5 — Powerful Text Based Communication App *2023-03-28* This is such a powerful text-based communication app! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! It is much appreciated by all the team! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-02-13* I am a speech pathologist working with adults and this app has given a voice to many people I have had the privilege of working with. The app is seamlessly streamlined with voice preservation services allowing you to very easily download your synthetic voice. It is very easy to customise and create your own customised phrases and layout and very easy to message bank on. It is a great text to speech app! The app is on the rare occasion buggy but the TherapyBox team are very quick to respond and help troubleshoot errors. I highly recommend this app **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and for recommending Predictable ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2022-10-24* I find this app to be very helpful! **Developer response:** Thank you for the great feedback ### 5/5 — Absolute must for anybody with a speech problem. *2021-08-27* I have recently been diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) which amongst other things affects my vocal chords. To put it simply I am unable to speak coherently & I found it frequently frustrating to make myself understood. Luckily my Voice therapist told me about this app (Predictable) she said if I contacted The Therapy Box they would most likely give me a free trial. Which I did & they very kindly gave me a 77 day trial through the Test Flight app. It didn’t take me long to realise that I didn’t need 77 days to find out that I neede Predictable in my life. It truly has been a godsend ,to say it has transformed my life now would be an understatement. I now don’t have to worry that I won’t be understood all I have to do now as soon as someone can’t make out a word I have said I just type it in the app & the app utters it aloud. That’s not all you can even choose the gender & even pick the accent of the voice you want to use. It’s an amazing app,I still haven’t scratched the surface with all the app îs capeable of yet. But for me the best part is that you save phrases that you use often in your favourites section so they can be accessed in a jiffy. Thank you The Therapy Box I doff my hat to you. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback which we will pass on to all the team who work on Predictable! ### 5/5 — Spyro *2021-05-28* I used this many a time due to having surgery and my voice was damaged from a nasal gastric tube. It was a life saviour as finally I had a voice. I say even helped when I was at the shops I just had to type they had to read or listen. Thank you for giving us a voice whoever created this. My hero **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate knowing Predictable has been helpful. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
