I had such high hopes 😞
Unfortunately, this app only works 20% of the time. Messages don't come through, and they don't come on time. When they do, it's the most exciting thing for me as a parent. But when they don't, lots of frustration from my son.
Secondly, the options are extremelyyyyyyy limited. There are only a few buttons and there's no option to customize. My son doesn't use 90% of the buttons. And the stuff that he normally uses on his AAC device is not available on here and no option to add.
Thirdly, the "send" button doesn't appear until an option is chosen from every screen. It's not enough to say "I need to use the bathroom", it goes to another screen where you HAVE to choose what you will be doing in the bathroom, before the send button appears. The send button should appear as soon as the first button is pressed. Sometimes it is enough to just say I need to use the bathroom. If they want to say more, then great, but don't force them to.
The idea is absolutely amazing.... if it worked. It's exactly what I've been looking for but unfortunately, I was very sad and disappointed. And for $12 a month, I'd say it needs a LOT more work!

Helped my son express his needs
We have used this app for over a year and it has helped our non-verbal, level 3 autistic son express his needs. It’s easy to use and I love that we can get personal text messages from him sent directly to our cell phones.

Thank you for your feedback! It means a lot to us. We are extremely glad the app helps your son.

I completed the trial and was happy with the app. I have subscribed and made a payment but the community app won’t work … it tells me I still need to subscribe but when I press the ‘subscribe’ button it says you have already subscribed. I have emailed the TippyTalk admins twice but no reply. It is looking like I need to delete the app and request a refund. Very disappointed as the trial great and the app seemed perfect for my son who is minimally speaking.
