User Reviews

Users like the app’s simplicity, flexibility to add many buttons, and usefulness for non-verbal communication or training. Repeated complaints focus on lack of voice customization (male voice/recording), poor layout management (rearrange, export/backup, multiple boards or presets), and tedious manual entry or limited navigation for large button sets.

Pros

Simple, intuitive and easy to use (multiple reviewers praised the straightforward UI)
Supports many buttons / large customizable grid (users can add as many buttons as needed)
Clearly useful for communication: helpful for non-verbal users, autistic adults, caregivers and for training (e.g., parrots)

Cons

No or limited voice customization — users want male voice options and the ability to record/upload their own voice
Weak layout and organization features — cannot rearrange buttons easily; adding columns reflows saved layouts; no easy export/backup or multiple boards/presets
Tedious data entry and navigation — manual typing of many buttons is annoying and users request scrolling/pagination or ways to manage large button sets

Recent reviews

The app works great. I wish there was a way to save multiple button presets

good app, with Google TTS engine, its worthless for chinese, found a work around. Wish we could export or backup button layout, text, etc. Also, wish there was a way to put label or description to buttons without them being processed by TTS engine
