ComBridge Admin is the caregiver side of ComBridge, the free picture-card communication (AAC) app for nonspeaking children. Install ComBridge on the child's device and ComBridge Admin on yours. BUILD THE CHILD'S VOCABULARY IN SECONDS • A guided, step-by-step flow: photo → crop → record your voice → done • Find anything instantly with search — even in a library of hundreds of cards • Set the size of the cards on the child's screen ORGANIZE WITH SCENES Group cards into scenes like Home, Kindergarten, or Transport. Choose which scene the child's device shows — remotely, with one swipe. The same card can live in as many scenes as you like. STAY IN THE LOOP See the last 5 cards the child tapped, updating live. If you didn't hear the sound, you still know what they said. SIMPLE, PRIVATE PAIRING Pair with a QR code or a 4-digit code shown on the child's device. From then on the devices reconnect automatically whenever they're near each other. Everything travels directly over Bluetooth — no internet, no account, no cloud, no data collection. A new caregiver phone even pulls the pictures and sounds over from the child's device automatically. MANY CAREGIVERS, MANY CHILDREN • One caregiver can manage several children — switch between them with a searchable picker. Perfect for kindergartens and schools. • One child's device can be paired with several caregivers: both parents, grandparents, and the therapist too. WORKS OFFLINE Edit the library anywhere. Your changes queue up and sync automatically the next time the child's device is in range. FREE FOREVER ComBridge is free and always will be, to help as many families as possible. Happy communicating!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ComBridgeAdmin at none against TTS's 1. ComBridgeAdmin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
