Assistive Express

The app drains my iPad’s battery to 5%, what is the next update please, let me know asap

Not worth the price.

The app is pretty good, i like the voice quality and the options. Needs to support iOS built-in predictive text though!

Please add a female child's voice to your options.

When can kids like me get a male teen voice? None of my friends sound like this. This is important for me. Thanks!

I bought this app a few years ago. Everything worked great until just recently it stopped working. I had difficulty installing it on my new iPad. Luckily, I have another app on my iPad to help me communicate. But, I paid money for my Assistive Express, It's been a headache getting this installed.

I love this app because my son has the ability to communicate to anyone around him with the help of the "word prediction" feature. As a parent, I like it because I can store his favorite phrases and I can also access the most recent messages. The voices are not annoying or to robotic. I would recommend the app for non verbal autistic children that have basic reading comprehension skills.

My younger brother with autism has been using this app for years. It has served him well, but we prefer the layout that was used in previous versions of this app. The very large speakerphone button (that was more than twice the size of the other buttons) definitely made it easier for him to use this app. The old layout was already very clean--I do not understand why it had to be changed. Also, it is nearly impossible to contact the makers of this app. There's no contact email to be found. Why is communication so difficult?

The support website is busted and will not accept feedback. Does anyone know if it is possible to use this app during a phone call? I tried and it did not work. My guess is that it is because Apple does not allow 3rd party apps to work on top of their built in apps. Are there any apps that might be able to do this? I would LOVE to see this in an update! Thanks,

Assistive Express v3.4 does work fine with iPad 2 running iOS v6.1.3. To make it work, uninstall current version. Then in AppStore, select 'purchased' apps and find Assistive Express again. Click cloud icon to download the program. Let download finish completely, it is a long download. Make sure the iPad does not turn off or go to sleep during the download. After completion, the app will run fine. You will be first greeted with a dark 'how to' screen and then press 'start' to begin program. Your first install/update did not complete properly which gave you the problem. Hope this helps. The new version is quite good and has a cleaner interface than the older version. Good luck!
