Its good in general, does the job and doesnt really have any ads. I like being able to customize the voice and i really like that its not childish and isnt infantilizing. My main issue is with the fact that i typically need this app when i am overstimulated, and of my ways of calming myself down is a pair of bluetooth headphones. To be able to communicate with words i either have to stop listening to music, ungrounding myself, or simply type out what i want to say. Good app, but thats frustratin

Being mute, I depend on better than average TTS apps. This is one app that falls within the average range. It does the job just not like I have on other devices. The voice sounds more like a cartoon voice than a real human. Nobody at Google or any tech savvy friends are able to correct that. I've had this app more than 10 years and in that time this issue has never been addressed. On my other devices I have realistic voices with various accents. So it is achievable.

I finally found the perfect app for me when I'm having non-verbal episodes ! You can save pre-wrote sentences and class them in categories, it's the only app I found that does it for free ! It's also available in many languages It's really handy and you can form sentences really quickly (Though the dark mode really should be free :/)

I'm adhd and autistic and struggle to communicate a lot of the time. This app is easy to use and customisable. I bought the full version as its worth it. Some potential improvements: An option to press and hold on icons to rearrange them Be able to split each category into mini categories/folders that could be at the top of each category. Like it would open all of the food category like normal but have folders at the top to click on if you wanted like takeaway, desserts, breakfast etc

super super usefull! I like that the backup/export files are text editable because it makes mass edditing (e.g. setting up a new profile) much easier. Also like how visually customisable it is. Would love to see more options for backup/export than just the catagory and phrases (color profile, settings, etc) for those of us who need to use it on multiple devices, and more support for external keyboard navigation (I cannot for the life of me figure out how to switch tabs with a keyboard!)

I'm testing this APP to recommend but only free version. The extras for the paid version haven't been viewed. Otherwise, I'm quite pleased with the functionality of the basic free version. I would however love to see the visual symbol system to allow access to wider group. Otherwise, it appears simple, easy, without having to spend out on a huge system. I'll recommend to some with acquired language difficulties for sure.

I've tried a LOT of AAC apps and this is my favourite. I LOVE the option to show your message in large text to the person you're talking to. Love that you can edit, reorder, delete and add your own phrases. Love that you can (optionally) have suggested phrases pop up when you type. This app really does it all. It would be lovely to be able to drag-and-drop to reorder but I imagine that would add to the coding complexity considerably and it's not essential.

I am autistic and have severe anxiety. This app offers a wider range of phrases than other apps I have used. It also has a much more "adult" feel to it than some of the icon-based apps. That said though, it can be confusing as all the buttons look the same (black text on a white background) although there are options to customise this. Phrases can be customised and updated easily on the spot. It is also very easy to control all features such as pitch, speed etc.
