Progresivamente estarán disponibles nuevos paquetes de mayor nivel, para más verbos y para trabajar otras áreas del lenguaje (semántica, pragmática,...). La aplicación dispone de una zona de administración a la que se accede, inicialmente, sin contraseña. Desde la zona de administración se pueden descargar paquetes de ejercicios (se requiere conexión de Internet), gestionarlos (adscribir a perfiles), gestionar perfiles (de usuarios o ejercicios), establecer una contraseña de acceso a la zona de administración o acceder a videotutoriales de manejo de la aplicación en la zona de Ayuda. #Soyvisual es un sistema de comunicación aumentativa que utiliza representaciones gráficas y claves visuales para estimular los diferentes niveles y contenidos del lenguaje: comprensión oral, articulación de palabras, adquisición de vocabulario, construcción de frases y comunicación funcional.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

#Soyvisual holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Niki Talk has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Niki Talk's written reviews are positive against 18% of #Soyvisual's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Niki Talk ships an update every 3 weeks, #Soyvisual every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
