Amazing app

My son has been using this app for over eight years. It is his freedom of expression. There is no predictive text or some AI generated sentences. Just a wide choice of vocabulary where he can write full sentences that are grammatically correct. And there is an easy to use edit function to add words , sentences, commands for Alexa and photo images. Even with limited hand function he can access the appropriate squares because he is motivated to communicated accurately to people who can’t understand. Would highly recommend.

This is pretty good I gotta say.

This is a wonderful app my child lost her voice for. This is the only reason that she should bring her iPad to school. She needs to speak and this year her brother isn’t in the class so we bought this 300 dollar worth it app. It speaks wonderfully nice for her and she can easily tell us what she needs just from this. I’d do anything for better updates too though. I’m Emma, a parent of a young girl who has a no speaking disease. I think if you have a sad story like this you should totally get this. Even if you can speak fine, it’s still wonderful for everybody. I hope you download but if your the owner then I think you should update!

User friendly

I am a parent of a nonverbal child. We have tried different APPs and this one is by far the easiest to use and model. I love the babble function and the search function. We purchased a voice that suits our son. We purchased a key guard as well to separate the buttons for our son with cerebral palsy.

Looks like Chinese bloatware compared to PODD Compass.
