### 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 — Y

### 1/5 — New Update

*2025-02-14*

New update broke my paid license and support won’t help me fix it.

**Developer response:** Hi there.  We had a bug that may have been affecting your app.  Please update to the latest version to fix the issue.  If that doesn't work, please reach out to support@touchchatapp.com.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work no sound at all

*2024-08-12*

Because I have autism and adhd and asthma so when I have a asthma attack and a panic attack all at the same time I can’t breathe or speak so I needed this app to help me communicate to my mum but it doesn’t work Do NOT GET THIS APP

**Developer response:** HI there.  Make sure you are either in a trial period or have upgraded to TouchChat HD or TouchChat HD w/ WordPower to get sound.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-06-07*

This light app completely useless and only offers a giant vocabulary set and not a reduced field size. PRC should remove this and put something more functional on. We’re going to go with Toby DynaVox instead or a different provider.

**Developer response:** This is not a Lite app, rather it's a trial.  Once you start the trial, it is fully functional with multiple grid sizes.  It sounds like you didn't start your free trial.

### 1/5 — need to cancel free trail please help.

*2024-04-25*

how to cancel free trial

**Developer response:** Hi there.  The trial will simply run out, so there is no need to cancel.  You will not be charged.

### 2/5 — Edit’s pictures

*2023-12-08*

This app if you let it have Full access to your Photos it would Edit them without your consent/knowledge

### 1/5 — Don’t download it

*2023-12-02, version 2.45.0*

My son use this app at school for this reason I payed for it $149.99 and not open the app, I sent an email to the service support 2 days ago and no body responded. Not download if doesn’t want to lost your money

### 1/5 — Will not Download

*2023-11-09, version 2.45.0*

I keep trying For some reason I have storage space but it will say I do not

### 1/5 — Upgrade not working

*2023-05-16*

We upgraded from the free app and the app continually (like once per day) logs us out and asks us to pay again. We have to turn the device off, wait 1 min, power back on and then re-load the app for it to recognize the purchase. Tech support has not been helpful. When I asked for an update they responded with “have a great afternoon”-that’s not an update.

### 1/5 — How to cancel trial

*2022-12-01, version 2.39.0*

How do I cancel my free trial before it charges me when it doesn’t show up in my App Store subscriptions account?

### 1/5 — STUFF IS WAY TOO EXPLENSIVE

*2026-06-14*

Kill. Every. Thing. Now. ZERO STARS

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Buyer BEWARE,

*2025-10-14*

This company will NOT allow you to transfer the software to another device. You will PAY MORE THAN $300 EASILY!!!! There is NO customer service and they simply blame Apple for every problem imaginable. Was once a good product but it has sadly been ruined… Much better alternative apps are out there.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback and we're sorry you didn't have a good experience when you worked with our customer service team. If you would be willing to provide more specific feedback, please email our app team directly at info@aacapps.com so we can better understand the issues you are experiencing.

### 1/5 — Ts is so ahh💔

*2025-10-04*

I can't even hear the words my phone isn't silenced volume all the way up and I cannot hear them at all

### 1/5 — False info.

*2025-09-05*

Four. From an advert which said was free for basic package. Downloaded app for it to say its minimum £10 a month for a package that doesn’t even have sound. Please understand this is what we’re looking for, muliple people set up for disappointment. Don’t download the app waste of time.

**Developer response:** Hi there.  This is a trial app that is free for 30 days and includes sound.  After that, you have the option to upgrade to 3 different levels of the app for a one-time fee.

### 1/5 — No voice

*2025-08-12*

Voice is extremely important for my non verbal child. We have to know if we like it before we make the investment. Add the voice to the free trial.

**Developer response:** Hi there.  The voice is included during the 30 day free trial.  Please reach out to touchchat@aacapps.com if you are still having trouble with it.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Teenage voices?

*2023-08-07, version 2.43.1*

What happened to the teenage voices that you could choose from, I can’t  find it I love the app

### 5/5 — Please open

*2023-03-03*

Open please

### 5/5 — Send this to my cats

*2022-11-23*

THIS is the best AAC apps on the AAC list Ty for the help and support😇

### 5/5 — TouchChat HD Lite

*2019-06-06*

I use it for practicing Spanish.  Sure it doesn’t have sound features, but if you want to pay over $100, go for it!  For (whatever I paid for it), it is an excellent resource for visual language-learning!

### 5/5 — Wonderful tool!

*2018-07-12*

I disagree with most of theses reviews. I have the full version for my son, and this lite version is such a handy tool to have in my back pocket! It doesn’t have speech output, no but it is still a very useful tool. I am able to customize the same way the full version is, just no speech output. That isn’t a problem for us because my son can still select the icons to communicate his needs. My sons iPad has broken several times, and having this as a back up communication tool is invaluable for my non-verbal son. I would give it ten stars if I could.

### 5/5 — splangprok12

*2012-09-10*

I beg to differ with the other review.  The point of reviewing an app is to see if the language features will match your users needs.  If you need to see if voice output is helpful, you can download many free apps for the user to see the benefits of voice output.  I personally appreciate that I can see all of the vocabulary options that are available, while other Lite versions only give me limited information.

### 5/5 — Speech/Language Pathologist

*2011-12-22*

This app is a great diagnostic and training tool for the TouchChat program.  It provides access to all of the wonderful Vocabulary sets in the full TouchChat program.  Well worth the money.  Sure, it would be great to have the full program with voice output for trials but when that's not possible, this is a great alternative.

### 4/5 — Stuff is expensive

*2026-08-11*

i just upgraded to lite and i realized that they cost expensive, how to make them less expensive?, also, can you add a scientific calculator with exponents, complex numbers & roots

### 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?
