I swear if there was a different option for my son we would not use this app. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Too many technical Issues *2026-07-31* I’ve been using this app for over a year for my nonverbal daughter. It has been helpful but I’ve decided to cancel because of technical issues. Almost every month, the speaking voice stops working even though my subscription is active. Since this is an AAC app, the speech output is the most important feature. Having it repeatedly fail is incredibly frustrating and disruptive. Each time it happens, I have to contact customer support to get it working again. While short has been able to fix it, I shouldn’t have to make a phone call every single month just to use a feature I’m paying for. For an app that families rely on for daily communication, I expected much reliability. I hope the developers address these recurring issues. At this point, I can no longer continue with this service and will be taking my business elsewhere. We ### 5/5 — My favorite AAC APP! *2026-07-04* So easy to customize and so much fun to work with! Words can be added on the go in a minute, page sets easy to build completely from scratch if you like, the most flexible app, you can say I’m just in love with it! You can make your own symbols right in the button editor, combining symbols or even stuff from the web that it can find directly in the editor. I absolutely recommend it, my favorite is motor plan 66 page set from the in built ones, but it has a lot of other robust options. You can make anything possible with this app, especially if you have a student or a loved one who has variety of expressive and receptive language needs! ### 1/5 — After 20 attempts, speaking button refuses to turn on *2026-06-30* I’m tired of both Apple and TD Snap pointing fingers at each other telling me it’s the other parties problem for the speaking button to not turn on. I’ve subscribed downloaded deleted and resubscribed 10 times today and nothing works for the speaking button to turn on. Absolutely terrible developers for not making sure that the one Main feature we all care about for our kids (text to speech) fails to work now this app is now useless. Just deplorable development team. ### 1/5 — So so bad 👎 *2026-06-17, version 1.39.1* I hate this app to axpensiv ### 1/5 — Disgusting business model *2026-04-08* The app is fine. But this company is absolutely vile for charging a subscription service when before it was a one time purchase. Can you imagine telling someone they have to pay a monthly fee to be able to speak? And if you forget then you are left voiceless? If you think it’s inhumane and cruel, you’d be right. This company needs to change the way they operate. Say what you want about services that cost $300. At least they understand a flat fee and transferable accounts. ### 3/5 — please make this free *2026-04-04, version 1.38.1* please make the talk free because what is the point of the app existing if u dont pay for it? thanks alot now i cant delete it ### 3/5 — Awesome, BUT has some issues *2026-03-30, version 1.38.1* I am autistic and have verbal shutdowns, so I use symbol AAC and sometimes basic text to speech. TD Snap is the only program that really works for me, due to the customizability and ease of editing/use. But the pricing… It used to be a one time 50$ purchase, and now it’s 10$ a month? That is so unfair to people who are completely nonverbal. You shouldn’t need a subscription for communication. I couldn’t afford the 50$ fee in the first place, and especially not a 10$ a month subscription. The workaround I’ve been using is copying from the message window and pasting it to the IOS Live Speech to talk, but that won’t work for many others, ex. small children or those with more severe mental disabilities, and it sucks so bad not being able to have an integrated experience even as someone with low support needs. ### 1/5 — Pay for voice? *2026-01-24* We paid for the app several years ago and now with the update we have to start paying $10 monthly? Feeling nickled and dimed to death… this is my daughter’s voice…. And all of a sudden you can just turn it off and demand money to turn it back on…. Shameful… special needs people are just a way to make money for some companies. These are people we are talking about Tobii ### 1/5 — Ableist company *2026-01-06, version 1.38.1* It’s disgusting that you would make an app’s speech function dependent on a monthly subscription fee. You pride yourself in being a robust app for nonspeaking children to use and then force them into an endless subscription fee just to be able to speak? ## Frequently asked questions about TD Snap® ### What is TD Snap?
