### 3/5 — Home button

*2023-12-01*

The home button is too small, my daughter is unable to press to get back to the main screen, so is unable to use this app unsupported. Also I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall (telephone advice from technical support) as the spoken voice stopped working. Improving this could be a communication game changer for our daughter who has multiple issues, including being non-verbal and autistic.
