### 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

### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 3/5 — Not workable with new boards

*2022-03-12*

This app on the paper seems a great equivalent to Letmetalk. However, the personalization is very limited because all new boards created don't appear in the window of boards when switching in "me" page to talk. Only the change made in existing boards are taken into account. For the rest, everything is fine but it's not workable as is. Moreover, we're obliged to close and restart apo because of buttons not working in upper screen. With an update, it would be worth to get it.

### 4/5 — My Kid communicate more

*2022-02-20, version 2.0.3*

Hi, I'm a speech therapist. I have a CP kid, finding a free AAC is nit easy. But I came across this one and its so satisfying. I can create my own board freely, put in customise picture. This apps had helped my kid to expand his communication. He love this app.

### 3/5 — No voice

*2021-08-06, version 1.1.5*

There are no voice. I tried to fix by myself but nothing can help, even FAQ. Actually, this app is so interesting. Hope you fix it asap. (But my friend can use that voice part. I am not sure what happen on mine)

### 3/5 — Limited

*2020-02-22, version 1.1.5*

It’s okay but pretty limited. Your child’s expression won’t blossom much with this app. But it is good for early learners

### 3/5 — Good

*2019-12-18, version 1.1.5*

Easy to use, easy to edit, not very applicable for teens/adults.

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2019-07-27*

Appears great but impossible to navigate. Too difficult to edit and set up profiles and boards. This app has great potential but it needs to be easier to go back without exiting out to first screen and to set up profiles and boards.

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2019-01-19*

Thanks a lot, my son can speak with me❤️

### 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.

### 1/5 — Great concept, poor execution

*2023-01-02, version 2.0.9*

I really wanted to love this app! Can record your own audio, add photos however, it will NOT save to any board. I’d rather just shell out the $249 for other apps and save the time and hassle.

### 1/5 — Can’t even open it

*2022-11-26*

There’s a button to click “done” on the first page of the app - I can’t click on it because it’s under the battery symbol on my phone. Cool.

### 1/5 — So frustrating

*2022-01-28, version 2.0.2*

The set up is so confusing. You can build a new board with custom photos but once you go to me mode it doesn’t show up. Custom cards/photos wouldn’t save. I was so excited to try this but it’s not worth the frustration. For support they direct you to a Facebook group that’s filled with other confused people and NO answers from the developers.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-12-06, version 2.0.2*

I’ve spent hours adding symbols and trying to set this app up to help my son communicate better.  His speech therapist told me to try it out but warned me that it wasn’t great.  I would say that this app is less than satisfactory.  It deletes 75% of the symbols I make so I have to remake them, just so they can disappear again.  I even bought the full version and nothing was better about it.  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me start using it

*2021-11-29, version 2.0.2*

Won’t even let me hit done in the right hand corner to start using the app

### 1/5 — Difficult to understand

*2018-10-13, version 1.0.2*

I found this app difficult to understand.  Perhaps a default profile with some options already included would be helpful.

### 2/5 — Trying to love it

*2022-10-03, version 2.0.4*

I really want to love this app, but it’s frustrating me lately. The symbols move around the board and even get deleted even when it says the board has been saved. I spend more time fixing the boards than using it with my patients. I made sure I had the latest update where the supposedly fixed the issue but I keeps happening. What else can I do?

### 2/5 — Where do my voice recordings go?

*2020-03-16, version 1.1.5*

I like how you can import your own photos, make sub boards, and even record your own voice but it seems like my pre-recorded voices will disappear and won't play again...

### 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…..

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-11-17, version 2.0.13*

I love this app.

### 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!

### 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

### 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

### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2022-09-11, version 2.0.4*

Elad! Your application is a blessing for our family. Please add a tip jar capability. I’ve seen others do add an in app purchase for a coffee or something like that. There appears to be a bug with the ability to add a photo to the profile picture. Also the link to webpage is not working for me but may be a restriction I have on my sons device, I need to look into that. For anyone considering this app versus other alternative communication apps it’s a little clunky to set up but once you get the hang of it it’s incredible!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-02-20, version 1.1.5*

The makers of this app could have made a lot of money but instead opted to make it free for us special needs parents. It is a little difficult to use and understand but once you get it is amazing. My son uses this to communicate all the time. ❤️

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-12-21, version 1.1.5*

It’s free and amazing!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-05-05, version 1.1.5*

Love how customizable this is- thank you so much!!

### 5/5 — What I think

*2020-02-14, version 1.1.5*

I think this is one of the best apps ever I thinks such a good app it should a 2020 APPLE EDITOR OR THE YEAR AWARD.

### 5/5 — SymboTalk easy to use

*2019-03-13, version 1.0.9*

I am very pleased with SymboTalk as well as its makers. I am using it for my husband who had a massive stroke leaving him unable to use his right arm, inability to swallow, no voice and with horrible aphasia. Most of these apps are made for children or are focussed on foods, mom/dad, games or activities that my husband cannot participate in. I have been able to take SymboTalk’s main screen and tailor it for his world using photos and emoticons. Things he can relate to. He is starting to use it which is amazing. I am so thankful to SymboTalk for this app. I have also suggested it to others with brain injuries.
