### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-11-17, version 2.0.13*

I love this app.

### 4/5 — The search bar

*2025-11-11, version 2.0.13*

The search bar is in the middle of the screen, and sometime cover the name of the board. I thought it’s a glitch but it has been like that for months

### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER

*2025-09-29, version 2.0.13*

So this app is pretty cool but i want you to add a update so you know that you can’t add your own words on it. I think it would be pretty cool if you could add a update so you can add your own words and put it up on the thing (i don’t know what it is lol 😂) so can you please add that? And this app/game is the best!

### 1/5 — Great App- When it Works

*2024-11-27, version 2.0.13*

The app is stuck on the loading screen and continually needs to be deleted and re-downloaded. There is 0 customer service and if you don’t pay for the app- everything you set up is gone. As a worker, it’s been so helpful for giving my supported individuals words. That said if it is bought, every person you’re sending a board to needs to have the bought version as well which is problematic.

### 3/5 — Stuck…

*2024-10-23*

It would be five stars because this tool is allowing my supported individuals to communicate and have words however, it’s been stuck on the loading screen on my phone for a week now and I don’t know how to fix that… assistance would be amazing. I’ve spent 3 hours loading up my phone with symbols on top of the time spent to load supported in individuals tablets so that’s not something I want to restart my phone…..

### 3/5 — 免費的最貴🥲

*2024-08-28, version 2.0.13*

幫個案設計溝通版面，想說先試用雲端同步的功能，結果一跟我手機同步，之前做好的溝通版面直接大跑版還有很多不見，花了好幾個小時的心血最後要全部重弄…半夜1:30看到這個差點哭出來

### 5/5 — 誤刪程式

*2024-07-20, version 2.0.13*

請問當初沒做登錄直接使用，結果小朋友不小心將整個程式移除，重新下載，結果內建的資料全部都不見了，是不是就沒辦法救原本的資料了

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2024-07-20, version 2.0.13*

It works well enough since it’s free. But it does glitch where it overlaps the boards and nothing works so you have to force quit the app and restart it. Very frustrating for a nonverbal kid and causes meltdowns when the app won’t work.

### 5/5 — Best

*2023-12-17, version 2.0.13*

As a better cheer coach, I use this for 1 year Mexican dancers and Cheerleaders

### 4/5 — Difficulty adding image from search

*2023-04-26, version 2.0.12*

Hi, I recently started developing difficulty to add image through search. Please assist.  Thank you
