App
Having difficulty opening the app and have lost my folders. I have tried to contact.
Darn, it has been freezing up for me
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.

A few problems.
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.

Misleading Free Trial
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!
Paid for this outright years ago, now they’re charging us subscription for same features we bought!
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.

Great
There are more advanced ones but this is great and you can tell the people making it are trying and care.
ABA therapist: my client is scared of the human faces
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
Change
Sad to see this program has gotten this way. A lot of special needs children can't afford a monthly fee.
Junk
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
Very useful for asd/ non-verbal
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

Damn it!
Not enough symbols
I thought it was free but it was an instant charge for $265+...
I downloaded the FREE version and for some reason it tried charging me for the expert version. Lucky for me, I'm broke and I don't even have that amount of cash, but my bank account still has a pending from this 🙄 don't download.
Was good until ….
First of all, the pictures started disappearing when you open up the card so I had to reload a bunch of those which was very time consuming. Then all of a sudden it didn’t recognize our subscription no matter what I did. So I deleted the app and then reinstalled it, and all of my son’s cards were gone. So I guess what, I canceled. I spent so much time setting this up for my son and lost all of that time. As long as it’s working, it’s a good app though.

Lack of device support
It is unfair that apps like this are only available on iOS and not Google. Forcing people with speech difficulties to choose iOS over Google.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Creating an Android and web version has been on our agenda for some quite time. We just had been unable to do so due to many factors. Visuals2Go though it looks simple, it is packed with features due to its growth over the years. This makes creating an Android and web version complex and costly.
Great app!
My three year old son has cerebral palsy and doesn’t talk yet, this app has been fantastic for him to be able to communicate.
It’s user friendly, reasonably priced and has great features.
There has been a huge change in his personality and confidence because he is now able to express himself and feels better understood. Thank you Visuals2go!

Helpful addition!
It would be extremely helpful to us adults with autism if you could save pre-assembled sentences. Like, let’s say you’re anticipating people asking a specific question so you anticipate answering with a specific sentence so you don’t have to go looking for the correct buttons to communicate. For example, having the sentence “I’m non verbal and I would like to purchase this,” ready at the single touch of a button!

Subscription didn’t work
The app is very easy to use. It’s helping my autistic son to understand routine and also how to communicate in English.
His first language is Portuguese and we moved to Canada.
I got the free trial to test and decide to go with the anual subscription as I noticed a huge progress with his English just in a few days.
Unfortunately today he woke up to use the iPad and most of the cards are blocked and asking me to subscribe. I’ve tried many things to make work, but nothing helped.
When I click “subscribe button” it confirms that my account has the one year package assigned to it.
We are very upset with this bug, I sent an email to you guys but never got an answer.
This is bringing lots of frustration to my son, because he goes there to make his sentences of the next step and is not available.

Easy to use, wish the account could be the same across multiple devices
We love this app! We needed something simple to Use and easy to Understand for my 6 year old with autism who Is nonverbal. He caught on super quickly and we love it! The library of cards has a great assortment and we love that we can record audio to attach to each card, organize them easily, and make our own cards. The only major drawback is that once I get it all set up with all of the cards he needs on a regular basis, organize them the way he needs them, and attach audio to every single card, it can only applies to the one device. So when his iPad needs to be replaced or if the battery on his iPad dies and he needs to use one of our phones to communicate with us, We have to set up every single app on every device from scratch. The account isn’t connected across devices. We also have to pay the same fee every single time for every device in order to have access to the larger library of cards. I really wish there was a way that we could make changes on the account, on one device, and have the changes be the same throughout every device. I would be willing to pay more in order to have this feature. Because Otherwise is at such a good fit for our family. We have not found anything else as simple to use.

Really great app and support!
I’m an early intervention (birth-3) Speech-Language Pathologist. I decided to try this app with a family I was working with because the little boy has autism and was blowing me away with his ability to use low tech AAC options. Within a week of introducing him to Visuals2Go, he was using it to make requests! I was so impressed by how quickly he was able to start using it to effectively communicate! The support was also fantastic. We emailed questions and were responded to very quickly. The app developer himself set up a zoom call with us to assist us further and show us some other ways to use the app which we didn’t think of (ex: making choice boards, using first/then language, visual aids, etc.)

VERY EASY TO USE!
I recommended this app to all my daughter’s therapists as well as her school. The feedback I’ve received is how easy it is to use and navigate compared to other apps. The creator of this app also have been so patient, available and so helpful on many occasions with some of my issues on my end. The videos, workshops has made the learning curve easy for me and my husband
keep up the great work in continuing to support those that are in need of a voice!
