I like the simplicity of this app. I purchased the full version to add pictures, remove items, and rearrange it however I want. The biggest issue I have is that after all that work I did customizing it on my phone. When I went to download the app on my son's tablet. There is absolutely no way to sync the data! You'll have to pay for the full version and customize it on each device. I'm so disappointed. My phone screen isn't big enough for him to see the words and pictures. I'm so upset.

I tried this app with my father who had a stroke and has speech aphasia. The pictures were clear and the voice spoke loudly and clearly. My father aeemed very interested in trying it out, but put it aside. He seemed to want more choices to select from. Perhaps the paid version has more. I would prefer the icon boxes to be larger. Overall it definitely was a cute app and I could see it coming in handy when we are having one of those frustrating moments trying to figure out what my Dad wants.

Thanks for sharing how you used it with your father. To make cells bigger, reduce the column count at Settings → Layout & Display → Number of Columns. The full version adds Quick Phrases and custom photos. Email shmoontz@gmail.com if you need a hand.

You don't give people a chance to trial your product, before you ask for ratings. Food choices are poor, appear's that you can not add anything or change it. Their is very little options, if it could be added to or change it. It would give me a better idea if you would show a video clip of full purchase your product. We currently use sono flex I am looking for something for my cell phone.

Thanks — fair point on the trial experience. The lite version does include a starter set of boards (Feel, Eat, Drink, Play, People, Places) you can use fully before deciding on the full version. We're also looking at making the lite→full upgrade path more obvious in-app. Sorry it didn't feel that way.
