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.

Log in feature

Great app! Super useful in the classroom with nonverbal kids however I wish there was a log in system put in place so everyone could log into an account and have all the same boards. Would be perfect for the parents to continue using at home and super helpful we don’t have to make the same board 3 times on 3 different phones. Thank you!

I like it

Good

WONDERFUL. Worth a try

This is well worth downloading, and trying out. have been looking for so long for a free app, that gives a genuine chance for review before purchase. This is the first one ever. THANKS SO MUCH. This allows to explore the app’s capability, but more importantly to explore the user’s capability before spending money or being forced to subscribe, which not possible where I work. Efforts like this deserve support.

Edit lock does not work

When my student touches a picture, it takes her to a screen to edit that picture even though we are not in edit mode and edit lock is on!

Great for non-verbal kids

I love this for my non-verbal son but PLEASE add a user log in that will transfer all my user created boards to different devices! I have this on my phone and iPad and it’s a pain in the butt to have to do everything twice.

Poor design

Bad UI and terrible UX for those creating boards. Don't get me started on using photos on the app. I have over 20k photos and it wants to download all photos In order to use it. Does not use google photos or Dropbox folders ... annoying.

Best Free AAC App You'll Find Anywhere!

This app comes with preloaded pictures, boards and sayings that are fairly generic and not PCS, however you can edit, link, record, and it's completely customizable. You can put a picture you take with your camera as a button, and record your voice to say what you want when it's pushed, and link that button to a separate page such as "I want" > "movies"> "Tangled." My son prefers this app over TouchChat currently because the borders are wider between buttons which makes them easier to see. Play with this first before you decide on paying for TouchChat, Alexicomm or LAMP! I've done 3 out of 4 and SoundingBoard is still top pick.

Can't save anything

This app is supposed to allow you to create your own boards, but they never save. Even edits to the existing boards don't ever save. Not sure if this is an iOS 10 issue or something but the app is fairly useless without this feature. Shame, was recommended by our speech pathologist.

Not compatible for IPhone 6s Plus

Love this app but I can't record over the informative icons because it's not compatible with IPhone 6s Plus or the IPad Air

Thank you

Thank you for making this app! So helpful for my autistic 3 year old!

Crashed over two weeks ago, still crashing

Try to purchase a new board and from that point on CRASHES, very disappointed since this was my son's easiest way to communicate. I have repeatedly deleted and reinstalled and continues to crash all because I foolishly wanted to add a new board.

Crashes

I did in app purchase now it won't stay open.

Not a comprehensive communication device

Icons are not consistent with Boardmaker or SymbolStix icons. I cannot see any of my students using this as a communication tool. It is ok as a free app but I would never pay for it.

Please fix

It crashe's everytime I go into the app

good but...

In the past in this app, I couldn't make my own boards, that is, I could make them but they were never saved and didn't show up above the preloaded boards where they are supposed to be. With this latest update, I can now make user created boards which show up! BUT the board I created has only one button that shows up--the first one I made. The other three buttons don't show up. I like that when I use other scripts on my iphone they show up on the board. eg. Mandarin Chinese and Cyrilic. I got it to make my own boards in languages other than English! ALSO I cannot record my voice over your preloaded boards. I record and it doesn't save. I need to change the language to be able to use this app. Please fix it! I love this app… if only it would work.
