### 1/5 — App rip off

*2020-09-30, version 3.5*

Absolute rip off!!! Expected some symbols to appear with text! What is the 99p for ???

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2017-03-28, version 2.2*

I bought this app for 99p and all you get is a basic writing app. No symbols are displayed st all and you have a further £35 payment to make for all of the symbols. If you have to pay for the app then surely some symbols should be included so that you can get a feel for how good the app is. Plus what is the 99p for? I can write on notes for free. I use widgit symbols for work and they are good but this app is expensive and the 99p is not worth it. Only get this app if you use widgit symbols anyway and are prepared to pay the full price for it!

### 3/5 — Needs to improve

*2023-01-16, version 3.8.0*

I use Widgit online to creat material for our everyday life. 

This app would be really useful if optimised to iPhone. Tried it of 14 Pro. The voice only comes from the upper speaker (the one you use for calls) and it’s really quiet. 

Not all the icons are showing when the phone in portrait position and unable to scroll. When turning the phone to landscape, all the icons disappearing, needs to tap to sentence and then close keyboard to make the menu icons show. 

Please, work on it if you can. It would be great help for many people in their day to day life.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2019-02-10, version 3.2*

This is great for helping understand with the symbols, and simple to use. It would be good if word prediction could be turned on or off as needed for typing when making documents.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-10-25, version 3.9.3*

LOVEEEEE

### 5/5 — Phenomenal app for occupational therapy special needs and supporting literacy

*2020-02-27*

I can’t say how wonderful this app is.   So easy to use and gives multisensory feedback.

### 5/5 — Works with Widgit Online

*2019-11-05, version 3.2*

Works well with my trial Widgit Online account. Will be upgrading to a subscription.

### 5/5 — Boosts creativity and memory 200% or more...

*2017-11-25, version 2.5*

Super appreciate adding PASTE feature. Anyway, this is super useful for quickly remembering concepts via visual pictures.
