Widgit Writer 4+

Needs to improve

I use Widgit online to creat material for our everyday life.

This app would be really useful if optimised to iPhone. Tried it of 14 Pro. The voice only comes from the upper speaker (the one you use for calls) and it’s really quiet.

Not all the icons are showing when the phone in portrait position and unable to scroll. When turning the phone to landscape, all the icons disappearing, needs to tap to sentence and then close keyboard to make the menu icons show.

Please, work on it if you can. It would be great help for many people in their day to day life.

Rip off

I bought this app for 99p and all you get is a basic writing app. No symbols are displayed st all and you have a further £35 payment to make for all of the symbols. If you have to pay for the app then surely some symbols should be included so that you can get a feel for how good the app is. Plus what is the 99p for? I can write on notes for free. I use widgit symbols for work and they are good but this app is expensive and the 99p is not worth it. Only get this app if you use widgit symbols anyway and are prepared to pay the full price for it!

Developer Response ,

Widgit apologise for any confusion that may have been caused by our app. This app was designed to be used in conjunction with our Widgit Online subscriptions. It enables our Widgit Online customers to log in and create symbol documents on an iPad. Unfortunately Apple's strict guidelines prevented us from putting up a free app that linked with a Widgit Online account. 99p is the lowest price tier that we were allowed to choose.

The in app purchase was designed for people who did not have a Widgit Online subscription but still wanted access to our symbol database.

I hope this clarifies the pricing for you. If you wish to contact us directly to discuss this in more detail, our phone number is 01926 333680.

Works with Widgit Online

Works well with my trial Widgit Online account. Will be upgrading to a subscription.
