## What is Visuals2Go?

CREATE - COMMUNICATE - PRINT!

Visuals2Go is founded by a Special Education teacher and developed in collaboration with speech pathologists and parents. Our mission is to have an accessible tool that is user friendly, simple to use and effective in the teaching of Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC)

Visuals2Go is an ALL-IN-ONE Educational app created to support people with communication and learning difficulties. Research shows that Augmentative and Assistive Communication systems are highly beneficial for people who are non-verbal or have difficulties with speech.

Visuals2Go is designed to support you as an Educator, Therapist, Support Worker or Parent so that you can give the person in your care a voice. It is distinct from other Augmentative and Alternate Communication (AAC) in it’s versatility. It is designed to support people with a range of different communicative needs: from students with high support needs who needs a single message communication system, to choice making using two or more images, to sentence building to extend vocabulary. It also supports those who needs hands-on visuals so the app allows users to PRINT their visuals on a range of different templates.

The app has a Simple-to-use interface and beautifully designed images that will encourage regular access to communication and learning.

We believe that if the Educators, therapists, support workers or parents are actively using a software that is highly beneficial, then the person with a communication need will most likely be using it as well.

The app is useful for verbal and non-verbal learners, it can be used for individuals in the Autism Spectrum, individuals with Down Syndrome or other diagnosis.

Here are some of the ways you can use Visuals2Go:

* Use it as communication device for those struggling with speech. Users can make choices directly or use the ‘Sentence Strip’ feature to communicate in sentences;

* Use it for Visual Prompts, our new 'Card Search' feature allows you to easily search for thousands of images to provide a visual prompt for directions or for learning;

* For students with Higher Support needs, you can use the App as a one button (or one message) communication device;

* Use it as a lanyard - carrying all your symbols on your device, with an easy SWIPE-TO-SCROLL through cards feature;

* Create countless number of visual cards in various sizes to print off and laminated for hands-on learning (Optional Upgrade);

* Print cards on a range of customised visual boards from our templates for a variety purposes including choice boards, shopping lists, flash cards and more (Optional Upgrade);

* Create stories for learning - You can use to create stories to learn social skills and step-by-step recipes or procedures.

* Or simply use it as a photo album with text and voice. Store albums of family members; friends; favourite toys; characters; etc. Your child will love scrolling to see each Visual!

The app is constantly updated with new images and albums. You have a choice to upgrade the app with added features with individual inApp purchases or with a subscription. 

Please note: If you purchase a monthly or yearly access to the online library, payment will be charged to your iTunes account. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

### 5/5 — App

*2026-03-15*

Having difficulty opening the app and have lost my folders. I have tried to contact.

### 3/5 — Darn, it has been freezing up for me

*2026-02-16*

UPDATE:

I just downloaded this app to my new iPad and my access has been killed.

The developer states that previous owners of their original app can restore their access, but this did NOT work for me when I did so- I can no longer add my own images to print, which I definitely could with the original app. Without being able to add my own images, this app is no longer useable. 

PREVIOUS REVIEW: This worked really well for us in the past but is freezing up now.  My iPad is very full, so it may be a memory issue, hopefully if others are having the same issue, this will be addressed.

### 2/5 — A few problems.

*2025-07-30*

Hello Bo innovations. I’ve recently tried this app. I’m looking for the right apps for my sister who has verbal shut-downs. I’ll say the good stuff and the bad stuff.

Bad: The pictures are… kinda… nightmare fuel, to say the least. Every time the user tries to click one of the buttons, it makes the user scroll through all the buttons, which is annoying. It makes it very hard to communicate, especially since it does not have a sentence bar, or a keyboard.

Good: the pictures are very easy to tell what they are, it’s pretty simple to use (kinda) and it doesn’t require the user to scroll too much. You can search for a button using a search bar at the top. It’s better for children under six years old.

Thank you giving the time to read this review.

### 3/5 — Misleading Free Trial

*2025-04-03*

I removed two star because you guys were misleading with your free trials. The app is great and user friendly but why mislead customers that they have more than one free trial when you would still go ahead and charge them the second time!!! Please look into this!

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the app’s usability.

We’re really sorry for any confusion caused. Just to clarify — Visuals2Go only offers one free trial per Apple ID. We don’t promote or allow more than one trial, and any charges after the trial period are managed directly by Apple’s subscription system.

If you believe you were charged in error, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support for a refund request, as we don’t have access to their billing system.

We truly value your support and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can help with.

### 1/5 — Paid for this outright years ago, now they’re charging us subscription for same features we bought!

*2025-02-28*

I’m really disappointed with the team at V2go. We have been using this app for my now 12 year old non-verbal autistic son for roughly the 7-8 years. We bought the pro version when we first downloaded the app and now the devs have changed to a subscription model and locked us out of features we PAID FOR and were using for years. My son relies on this app to communicate as do many other people, and to try and charge people twice for features the bought outright years prior is scummy business practice. No one who bought this outright should be charged again to use the features they paid for previously. 

Not only that, I tried emailing the team about it and received no reply. They clearly care more about monetizing their customers and those with special needs more than letting people use the features they paid for previously. You guys need to rethink your business model.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm really sorry to hear about your experience.

We actually did not receive any previous email regarding this matter and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

Just to clarify, Visuals2Go was launched in 2017, and we did not have a "Pro version" at that time. It’s likely that you originally purchased our earlier app, Picture Card Maker, which included very basic features. Since then, we’ve built Visuals2Go from the ground up as a far more advanced app with significantly more functionality, and unfortunately, we could not technically merge the two apps.

That said, we made a deliberate decision not to let Picture Card Maker lapse entirely. Instead, we created a way for past users to restore the original features they paid for — you can find this option in the Visuals2Go Store under “Restore Pro Version.” This process actually cost us a great deal in development time and resources, but we chose this path because we genuinely value our users and the impact this app has.

We understand how important this tool is for families and individuals, and we are truly not in the business of profiting at the expense of those we serve. Our heart is to support the community with integrity, care, and transparency.

Please reach out to us again so we can assist you directly. We're here to help ensure your son continues to have access to the tools he needs.

Warm regards,
The Visuals2Go Team

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-01-30*

There are more advanced ones but this is great and you can tell the people making it are trying and care.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback.

Visuals2Go was created with heart, purpose, and a deep desire to make communication accessible to everyone. We really do truly care about our users, and the app exists because we believe every person has a voice the world needs to hear.

Your support means a great deal to us, and we’re grateful to be part of your journey.

### 3/5 — ABA therapist: my client is scared of the human faces

*2025-01-23, version 6.6.7*

I’m not surprised by this. The feelings cards depicting human likeness with uncanny features and stringy hair are quite visually repelling. May need a redesign

### 1/5 — Change

*2024-10-19, version 6.6.5*

Sad to see this program has gotten this way. A lot of special needs children can't afford a monthly fee.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-08-03, version 6.6.4*

Took me 5seconds to hear the terrible computer generated voice that is not very clear and talks very fast, also when it says “look” it doesn’t annunciate the ‘k’ so it just says “loo”. This will not help a child learn to communicate properly

### 4/5 — Very useful for asd/ non-verbal

*2024-04-29, version 6.6.3*

I really like this app for my 5yo son and the fact I can upload my own pictures is fantastic as he responds great to real visuals but the only problem is when I record sound to go with card the sound is really low even though all my volume are at max on iPad, don’t know how to get round this to be able to hear my voice with cards
