Every. Thing. Now. ZERO STARS ### 4/5 — Stuff is expensive *2026-05-16* i just upgraded to lite and i realized that they cost expensive, how to make them less expensive? ### 1/5 — TouchChat Discover App / HD Lite *2026-05-13* I had making an AAC app for me and it crashed the whole app and I tried to edit something. It has bugs, glitches, and lagging, This is so evil! I have to contact PRC-Saltillo about for this. ### 4/5 — Kinda good app *2026-03-05* This app is good and all great for teachers but like how do we get the emojis on there cause I’m on an iPhone 16 base model not a iPad like you’re supposed to do and I saw this in my school and I asked what the app they’re using they said touch chat and then the next day I said cheese that touch trap at is $300 $300. I’m talking you gotta know what you’re paying for parents/teachers just get the light version. You don’t really need people speaking right into your ears if you’re at school it’s just annoy everybody. It’s a good app. ### 1/5 — Make it free *2026-02-20* I can’t afford it. But my. Daughter can’t talk ### 1/5 — NO AUDIO LITE *2026-02-19* What good is an AAC app without audio, worse purchase. Definitely needs to change. **Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback. The app does provide audio when you start the free, 30-day trial, or upgrade the app to full functionality. If you need help with this, please reach out to our support team, touchchat@aacapps.com. ### 5/5 — Touchchat Discovered/HD Lite *2026-01-01* I got discover a while ago and have now bought the lite version as other apps just do not compare. Sure it has no speech output, but I can still use it as a communication board. You are told ahead of time what you’re buying and I think it’s worth the $10. ### 1/5 — Awful developers *2025-11-18* Of course yet another example of greedy developers trying to take advantage of people with disabilities. There’s no reason this stuff should cost $300 ### 1/5 — can't speak text box *2025-11-13* can't speak text in text box only individual words as they are pessed on iPhone 13 **Developer response:** It sounds like there may be a setting change needed to speak the entire text box. Please contact our support team touchchat@aacapps.com to troubleshoot this further. ## Frequently asked questions about TouchChat Discover ### What is TouchChat Discover?
