I used this with my 5 year old who is nonverbal on an iPad mini 4. Overall, it is nice to have across devices should she need a back up. It’s also great for modeling and having her team at school and I sync up easily. It’s pretty user friendly and their customer support is amazing. The app itself sometimes freezes or lags way behind which causes frustration.

From Speech and Language Therapy Cafe:I have successfully utilized this app for an entire year with various students in the public schools and now in telepractice. I have ample AAC/AT SLP experience and can give testimony and highly recommend this app as the best AAC app for communication in the market! Through telepractice ST services, I work with students across state lines and this app allows me the ability to create and synchronize boards from the comfort of my home to students in other states. This past year after collecting data in the reports sent by the app, two of the districts I contracted with purchased life-time apps for three students on trial.So what makes it a Guru AAC App? It is cloud based, user friendly, one can use the picture library within the app, or use your own cam pictures or web pictures, not to mention the great 1:1 communication from its developers any time I have reached out to them. I have recommended this app to every SLP I work with in the public schools, in telepractice, and in the medical field.

The model of having a free communication app with subscriptions for a user rather than per device is the best! I am an elementary special education teacher for students with autism. I have been using this app with my classroom this year with 7 students who have limited or no verbal communication. I am thrilled with having this tool to use and love how easily I can make updates for my students on my device (computer, phone, or iPad) and it updates on their device. My favorite part is that all of our support staff and myself can have the app on our own devices so we can model, practice, and find words without needing to take the device from the student. The developers have been very helpful when I need help. I have been recommending it to all of our staff!

CoughDrop is great on my laptop, but on my phone it keeps crashing and reloads every few seconds. It takes 5 minutes to say a six word sentence (not exaggeration; I watched a clock). I’ve tried all the troubleshooting methods listed (turning off Bluetooth, cleaning the cache, etc.). Nothing works.The only two things left that I can think of are 1) getting a tablet (I’m wondering if there’s just too much on the phone and it’s getting overloaded?) or 2) pay for premium and hope that fixes it (it never acted up like this during the free trial and I’ve just been putting up with the reduced functions of not-premium usage, which has gradually led into the constant reloading problem).I love the way it can be personalized and edited to fit my needs, but it’s completely unusable on my phone.
