### 1/5 — Not as good as alternatives

*2012-12-02, version 2.0*

My wife and i have been looking for an app to allow our son with autism to easily communicate in school. This app has the right idea but lack functionality. The pricing system is disappointing. Other apps like Posco allow you to pay a one time fee and have everything. I recommend you look at the alternatives.

### 3/5 — Some improvements needed

*2011-12-30, version 2.0*

While this app is very useful I think that one thing that should be taken into consideration is where some people live. In many areas where people are using this app, likely because there are very few rehabilitation opportunities available, many of the food or transportation options included in the app are not applicable to the area. ** it would be extremely useful to be able to speak into the app and enter our own commands or requests. As an example: would you like to go to the chicken chef for lunch? Answer:yes or no, since that is a restaurant that is available in our area. Generic questions and commands/requests are useful but this app could definitely use a more personal touch as well.

### 1/5 — Bad user experience

*2011-12-05, version 2.0*

This app delivers a very poor user experience. Once you select your method of communication, either video or icons, you cannot switch between the two until you restart the application. 

The icons are arranged linearly, meaning that in order to communicate pain for example, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. 

There are definitely better ways to deliver a user experience on an iOS device. This developer has just taken the lazy way and converted what must have been a printed manual into an app. A shame really ...

### 4/5 — Simple, but potentially life changing...

*2011-05-29, version 2.0*

Aphasia is an acquired language disorder, which can occur after a brain injury such as a stroke. Lesions to different areas of the brain can result in qualitatively different impairments (i.e. difficulty expressing or comprehending language).

Psychologists who have worked with such patients know all too well the debilitating effects it can have on someone's life. Often times, the patient can understand what others are saying, but simply lack the ability to communicate through speech or writing. Several of the patients I have worked with became depressed, withdrawn and isolated after their stroke. Fortunately, certain patients can benefit from augmentative or alternative communication (ACC).

To that end, technology can sometime help patients regain some basic communication skills. I have recently reviewed this app on my blog for psychologist and refer to it as, "small, but potentially life changing tools".  They allows patients to scroll through common phrases designed to facilitate communication such as, "I have aphasia, I had a stroke, I have trouble speaking, yes, no etc." Other similar similar apps include common phrases related to activities of daily living. Pictures are provided beside the text to facilitate communication if reading is difficult.

### 4/5 — Good

*2011-05-22, version 2.0*

For patient use.  Can be tricky to get patients to use this initially and quite limited vocabulary, but a great resource for folks to have in their pocket.

### 3/5 — A good start

*2011-04-17, version 2.0*

Some good basic phrases which definitely could be expanded. However, most people with aphasia have had a stroke - should the food options really be things like fried chicken, Coke, Dunkin Donuts, and Wendy's? How about reinforcing secondary prevention principles from the ground up??

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2011-03-31, version 2.0*

This is a big help my mother in law has MSA and she not able to talk. Thanks to companies lake yours live is a little better. :)

### 5/5 — Superb

*2010-11-03, version 0*

I downloaded the latest version and found it to be even better! The way the two views (vertical and horizontal) keep in sync with each other is so very helpful! Keep up the good work!

### 4/5 — Very good app!

*2010-05-13, version 0*

This is a great FREE resource for speech therapists. I do not work with adults anymore, but this is a great free tool that we can start recommending to our patients and their families.

### 5/5 — Small Talk Aphasia

*2010-04-17, version 0*

Wonderful amp very helpfull for stroke victims.....my husband is able to use it without my help!
