Amazing…when it works

We use this as an alternative to my child’s large speech device and it’s a really great app. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with the most recent update so we can’t use it until they decide to fix it. That’s really frustrating with an app like this that isn’t just for fun, but an accommodation for those who need it.

Great potential

I’m a speech therapist and love using your app to support my clients. I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to delete pages the app comes with that my clients don’t need. For example, I’m introducing AAC to a 3 year old and don’t need a world map page. I see that I can delete custom pages but not the preloaded pages. Also, would it be possible to create and customize folders that could store specific pages like a meal time folder that could store a snack page, breakfast page, a play time folder that could store pages specific to play time etc. It would also be great if there could be a library of images for making custom pages. Maybe even a community feature so other users could upload and save useful visuals. This would make it possible to quickly create new buttons without having to upload each time.Thanks so much for your time and consideration!

It takes so long to create custom pages

I love this app and struggle through the time it takes to create anything because it’s such a good fit for my son to communicate with. I really wish there was an edit mode, some don’t have to hold the button down 3 seconds for text… then another 3 seconds to add a photo.

Brilliant communication app

Out of all the apps I tried out this one was the easiest to set up and use. There are good pre-made boards which are subdivided by category type but the ability to make custom boards, easily edit and export/import them made this a game-changer for me. My autistic son is non-speaking and relies on his iPad to communicate. With this app we can create nice colourful attractive grids (or have a standard black background) with visuals he recognises. It’s so much better and reasonably priced than many other paid-for subscription-based apps out there. A big thank you to the developers for continual updates and improvements.

Ios8 made trouble, I think

Great, simple app for communication needs. We had just begun using it with a student via single switch (screen touch) and auto scan through iOS built-in "switch access". After ios8 upgrade, auto scan abruptly switches after a choice has been selected. We are seeing this in the Yes/No page when No is chosen. The focus jumps almost simultaneously back to Yes. Hope this can be fixed so we can continue using this fantastic app!
