App crashes often when creating a new folder with images. I also wish the app would just open when selected without the Smarty Ears loge/intro song. It’s distracting & it causes a delay for access to the app.

I am an SLP always seeking for new AAC apps that are effective and efficient and since I purchased this app in a bundle with custom boards about a year ago, I have been extremely satisfied with how user friendly both apps are. My students love using expressive and have augmented communication using this app instead of those expensive devices that often times sit on shelf of a special education classroom unused. This app is so effective because once you purchase it you can download it to any ipad the buyer owns and use it with various students. Young and old students both love the pictures, and one enjoy using it to communicate. I pair it with communication books I make using custom boards and students answer questions from their communication notebooks using expressive. I thank the app creator who is a very knowledge and creative SLP because not only is app fun, but the app is often updated, and targets both core and fringe vocabulary. I highly recommend this app. For future improvement, I would recommend that this app works out of cloud system, that way any changes one makes could be made by the SLP from home and show changes when synched as does the app coughdrop (an app by another app developer). Expressive and coughdrop are my two favorite AAC apps to use in the public school setting and in the medical setting with both pediatrics and geriatrics.

All the folders and pictures keep red is no phone number support line to call.

Very nice start. We've seen other apps from Smarty Ears start out with a few kinks and then greatly improve with future updates to become definite 'must have' SLP apps. Benefit of investing in an app from such a solid company! Love that it incorporates familiar color-coding, a nice clean layout, and relatively simple editing. Might become my go-to rec for families who want to get something in place while we're working on the bigger AAC eval process. I'm very excited to see what they have planned for the future of this communication app.

The organization is awkward. Black pepper is filed under vegetables? Corn (a grain) represents the category of vegetables? I understand some are confused and group it with vegetables, but to be the key icon isn't the best representation. One of the selected key verbs is to "paste" with an icon of toothpaste. If this were all that is available to a child, it could be used as a bare minimum until proloquo could be purchased.

This app is very similar to Proloquo. Easy to use and individualize to fit a child's needs. I would like to be able to edit the buttons and folders a little easier (if you want to rename the button you essentially have to just delete and make another one) and be able to move/drag buttons in and out of folders. Other than that, I like it! Good app! I'm excited to see more updates coming soon! Thank you!

Only giving this app a one because it is simple to figure out, HOWEVER, this app is not something I would suggest even with the low price tag. This app is unintelligible to listeners, it often gets stuck, and the voices available sound very robotic. Would spend the extra money for a more usable app. Wish I would have known this before going through the lengthy process to purchase an app in my setting.

Absolutely not worth the money. Poor models for literacy (with "I" not capitalized) and syntax (no way to formulate sentences using basic word order). Not impressed with digitized voice quality or symbol set either (not all users are Caucasian children)!
