PLEASE READ. Amazing app, I recommend! But…
I have already submitted to “Feedback & Support” in this app’s Settings Menu to add the option to remove all LGBTQIA+ things for parental controls, homophobic people, and religious people or just people who feel uncomfortable about it. I’m one of those people who are Religious (I am a Protestant Christian) and I also am just 11 and I feel overwhelmed and/or uncomfortable on this LGBTQIA+ things. Please I’m begging you, add the option to remove. Thank you!

Hello, many thanks for reaching out and for your feedback. It is great to hear that you are finding the app useful! There is an option within the app to hide (but not permanently remove) specific categories of symbols if this helps at all. To access this setting, please click on the settings cog at the top right of the main menu screen and click on category visibility. This will then display all available categories. To hide a category, click on the eye symbol at the top right of the category button and this will grey out the category. This means that symbols within that category will no longer be available to search from or displayed on the main category pages. I hope that this helps. Have a great day!

Response from developer
Hi there! We are very sorry you can no longer access your preferred voice. The app uses the Apple voice bank, so unfortunately this is something we are not able to control. I am very glad that you have found a new voice that you are happy with. Have a wonderful day!

This has been reported to the app development team but if you can email twinklcares@twinkl.com we can see if we can get this fixed for you! Have a great day!
Great app
Great but the maths question feature is not needed
Response from developer
Hello there and thank you for reaching out. It is so good to hear that you are enjoying using the app and that you see use in it for your clients. The maths question (adult lock) is an optional feature that can easily be toggled on and off in the settings area. The idea behind this is that an adult could set up a board or book and the lock (maths prompt) helps to prevent symbols users from accidentally editing, deleting or navigating away from the page that they are using. However it is easily switched off should you not want or need this feature. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

Amazing resource for AAC
Suggestions
1. The option to share custom symbol folders. We have found that creating your own symbol using Twinkl or phone photos does not appear on a shared board when you send the code to another user. The visual square is blank.
2. A login option for the app that syncs your boards between the website version and the app.

Brilliant app but not linked to an account
Unfortunately being able to share boards doesn't help me as I am using custom symbols :(
This app is wonderful. It is the only one I have found (and I have tried many) which does everything I want it to do (except one thing - I'll get to that). I've been using it to upload my own symbols and photos, and create now and next boards and schedules. I love that it reads out the words when you tap them. Lovely user interface, the app looks great and runs really smoothly, it has never crashed on me. There are loads of built in symbols too. My one gripe? Everything is stored locally. Nothing is linked to any kind of account with Twinkle or anywhere else. That's a significant problem (and why I have only given 4 stars) because it means that anything I do on one device I have to do all over again if using a different device. A phone upgrade means I now have to start all over again from scratch :( I'd love to hear if this is a feature being worked on, because I feel I need to look at alternative apps to find one that links to an account as I don't want to have to rebuild everything whenever I change device.
