Not worth it

Not worth it at all. Does not pick up my sons voice accurately. Cant delete pages that you don’t want. Very frustrating.

Use this app daily for lots of activities

This app has allowed more independence. Teaching speech and developing language. Creating our own stories. Making stories with more visuals. Step by step recipes that he can cook independently. Step by step instructions to follow for other day to say activities to create independence. Can be as creative as you like.

Sound recording bug

I am a teacher returning to Pictello and am experiencing issues with recording sound. Also have a student who has issues with recording sound. Why? Not inexpensive app that worked well in the past. Attempted to query with the developer following the App Store link. No contact details - just a pop up ‘get your feedback’ window on the website. Effective to leave feedback, but not for communication re a product issue. Ironic considering that your business is AAC!

Why it's bad

You deleted how to make a story

Love it!

Pictello has become a communication bridge between home and daycare centre/preschool for us and our ASD daughter. Her carers and ourselves make story books about her day, which she will then speak about. App is easy and quick to use. Is improving language and comprehension skills, as well as connecting us all ensuring consistency. Brilliant! Only upgrade possible would be ability to export as a movie to share with those who don't have iPads or the app. Huge thanks!

No bilingual

Can't use different languages for same photo?

Great app!!!

Sorry about the stars before the update would have rated 5 stars but since the update with the video made.. It keeps crashing while making a story, please fix this as soon as possible

A must for ECE teachers

Great app, so easy to use either in class with students or at home preparing a reading text. It can be a great way to consolidate learning on a topic as you can print out the books and add them to your class bookshelf.

My Stories.

This was just the App I was looking for.....Able to write Stories of what my daughter has been doing..whether in the day at night on weekends away on holidays,I even made step by step recipes...it's great that you can read or it will read...Just the best App.Love it...love it.

Pictello is a great app for creating social stories and individual event logs. Really easy to use, even our special needs students have created their own stories with minimal assistance. The results are fantastic and very satisfying and empowering for them. (Fun for staff too).
