App crashing

We like the app for use with our toddler but since I purchased a 99 cent board, the app is crashing on startup and will not open. I also wish it had large button icons for picking the boards.

The best aac comm board by far

The way this can be customized to make branching options of words into sentences made this perfect for our needs. Switch access features work well. Thank you for a great app

Could be better

It’s a great app and my non verbal son can use it but it would be barter to be able to have a way to log in and save the boards across several platforms. Because when I add a picture now, I have to find allll the other devices and add it. No convenient.

Has potential to be awesome

I love that you can use your own pictures and voice, but unfortunately every folder I make the changes aren’t saved. I’ve tried redownloading the app etc. not sure why my files aren’t saving.

Disappointed

We have made multiple attempts to use this app only to have boards we created disappear. This has happened 4-5 times, mostly today. This is after the update to fix the bug that was deleting boards that came out six days ago.
