### 4/5 — Very fun!

*2026-02-06*

My sister uses this for school a lot. She has dyscalcula and has trouble with math, especially with stuff like remembering times tables. We tried Verbal-me sampler a while back, and she loved it. Even in the free version, it will give you the feature of being able to use the multiplication activity with no limits. It’s very fun and I definitely recommend. Her school provided the full version and since then, math class has just been a little bit more bearable for her. The only reason I did not rate it five stars is because you still have to pay for it. But overall, very good, helped with school a lot.

### 5/5 — Easy for children to use

*2024-10-30*

I have two non verbal autistic children and this app works just great!
It’s easy for them to use and you can add pictures and new words as they learn. Thank you to whoever made this app and made it free.🥺♥️

### 5/5 — Great app for non-speaking son

*2023-08-08*

This is a great free version to try out and see if it works for you. Within days, I bought the reasonably priced full version (£8.99) as a one-off payment. There are preset categories and boards but also the ability to customize. It’s also incredibly easy to add pictures from your own photos and add text, there’s attractive colour schemes (which can also be standardized to a black background if colours are distracting). In the full version you can add up to 100 boards and it’s simple and easy to create boards and sync across devices.

### 5/5 — Absolutely awesome

*2020-10-29*

Having worked with autistic children for over 13y and seeing the difference PECS make in their day to day life, I decided to give this app a try with my 14 month old daughter.  I used the 6 adaptable box page added pictures important things for her (nap, hot milk, drink, snack, outside & medicine) Today, just 4 days after putting these into use she took my phone and indicated that she wanted a drink! Then after her nap, she once again made it clear she wanted the phone and showed me she was ready for a snack. WOW!!!
We also use baby sign language to communicate but this is really going to help make both our lives less stressful when working out what’s wrong. 
THANK YOU SO MUCH

### 3/5 — SLP

*2019-02-21*

I like the app but would LOVE the app if it allowed for customization. My students NEED the visual supports that we use in class but in an app form.  Hope this is in the developers plan.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2018-11-21*

My son has autism and this app is really helpful for him to communicate but wish there was more in the free version, his health care is costly so I can spend extra money for paid version, but really good app.

### 5/5 — Non verbal

### 5/5 — Verbal Me

*2016-03-20*

I have a son who is nonverbal. This app is so easy to use and he was able to catch on very quickly. I would recommend this app to anyone looking for a good basic starting point for your child.

### 1/5 — Verbal me

*2015-12-11*

App has no sound so it doesn't work or function properly for students to use.

### 5/5 — Verbal Me, Well Done, Great for language appraxia

*2014-05-01*

The greatest is the keyboard speaks your typed words! Children love this APP, it's been this iPad for over a year, and so far the only app I have taken the time to rate
