If you want to say "we are here to help", that's one thing, but I'm hard pressed to see how anyone can believe that if you're constantly mauling their wallet for it. I wouldn't mind so much it were a one-time purchase, but THIS? Absolutely disgusting. Non-verbal people have enough trouble getting through life surrounded by discrimination and authoritarian hate without so-called "AAC vendors" engaging in the show of ableist greed that is constantly charging them for something that they may as well design and code themselves for free. And you're not even the first to do this. You're only the first to get the coveted App Store spotlight which did give me hope that you'd be different. You're not. You're exactly the same as every other AAC app on this store: pay to play, except it's not a game, it's the voice that is needed for self-expression and communication. If and when I learn to make my own apps, I'll make my own AAC app, market it for free, and make all functional features available without a single paywall. Its only in-app purchases will be purely cosmetic and the only subscription would be a donation line that does nothing with the actual program (and it will say so). Who knows, maybe some genius got fed up with this too and is trying to do the exact same thing already. Good luck justifying your price tag when that baby drops, you're going to need it. =)

Every single account we try to use to start using the app for our son just says that our email has already been used. We even created a new email to be able to utilize this app for our son and it still says the same thing. Very disappointing.

My partner has been utilizing this application for the past year, and it has proven to be highly effective. It eliminates the need for me to engage in the guessing game regarding her attempts to communicate. She is an individual with autism who typically communicates verbally but experiences periods of nonverbality due to stress or overwhelm. Consequently, the combination of her autism, ADHD, anxiety, and PTSD using this application has enabled her to communicate when she physically cannot. Given our limited budget, we refrained from investing hundreds of dollars in an application that might have failed to meet her needs. Since adopting this application, she has been able to communicate more effectively during her shutdowns, enabling her to engage in conversations with me or others. This has significantly alleviated the stress on both of us. The customization options provided by this application are particularly well-suited for an individual who is 26 years old, possesses reading, writing, and speaking abilities. I conducted extensive research to identify an application that would be user-friendly and intuitive for her skill levels. While she still encounters challenges, the application has been beneficial. There was an initial learning curve for her, but the search function and the ability to add words and folders for restaurant orders have proven invaluable. This functionality allows her to place orders without any hassle or concern. Thank you! I do wish there was a way to just buy this app instead of paying a subscription like Proloquo2Go. As we love the app just tired of Subscriptions
