Proloquo

Kicks you out of the app when trying to make an user.

I began using the original Proloquo2go when I was having bouts of expressive Aphasia in college. Now I find it an easier way to work with trauma from my past and to express hidden feelings. I like the new app has a much wider breadth of the vocabulary and is more age-appropriate. I am writing in also to express some frustration because I’m having trouble tapping, the last tab on the app. I’m not sure if anyone else has written in to say the same thing it could just be my phone, but I also wrote this to Express my thanks as well! Thank you!

Don’t get this as a quick help at home on your phone. You’ll waste your money. Can’t even see everything and can’t see to change screens etc.

Didn’t realize there would be a monthly/yearly fee. I wish that had been more up front before downloading it to all my kids devices. I’m sure this is a great app but I now have to do a bunch more research to see if I have to pay monthly for every device or if it’s available for family sharing.

Love the design and affordability of the app. However, my child does NOT need access to swear words or gender/sexual orientation topics. You’re stuck with whatever words they’ve deemed “most important” and you can’t change it. No thank you. I’ll find an app that allows me to customize it age appropriately for my child.

I finally got onto proloquo, but there’s no text or label only option, maybe for people to use it more, you should add a label only option because not everyone wants to see symbols Shoved in their face

Please don’t make the disabled pay such an expensive subscription for accessibility features, we’ve got enough on our plates.

Trying to find a program that grows with my daughter’s widening vocabulary has been a tough one. I have found others similar to this but that have no training unless you purchase their device for 1000s of dollars. She currently uses proloquo2go and was offered a few months free. Within three hours ( after my correspondences were answered, which is one of the only advantages of this app) we knew this isn’t it either. There is no way to change to larger font or make the icons smaller (there are some who are transitions away from icons as they master their aac devices) , no way to change the contrast, and the font size in communication bar when in typing is near 10 size font. Not only is this difficult for the visually impaired but with no option to toggle to a different language already offered by proloquo2go, it’s not equitable . Along with the subscription model- which is a high cost even when you look at the yearly subscription versus the one time cost of others- state programs that offer funding will not accept this as this is a subscription. Even your 5 year subscription is a subscription, those of us who rely on state funding to help our children access their basic needs of communication are being pushed out of a new opportunity to expand their communication. However, in this case it has several limitations that aren’t addressed anywhere and fortunately this was a free month. Please look back at your design to make this better for all to use.

Wanted to try the free trial as my son has not warmed up to using a device and they charged me $20 not even the $10 that it was supposed to charge!!

Literally designed for special needs kids but 10$ a month. What is wrong with you people..?
