Latest reviews of Grid Player app for iPhone and iPad
Amazingly flexible and easy to use. Rich library of feelings, wishes, thoughts, actions, etc. I love how easy it makes it for non-verbal kids to write their own fiction.
It was working well and it is great tool for non verbal children and adults, who is dev delay and / or has apraxia but noticed there is no speech afterwards to express the words,..that part needs fixing
Ive downloaded many AAC apps and am really impressed with how these are laid out. There are three layouts you can see in the sample pages above. Going from page to page is clear and intuitive in the 2 symbol talkers, and the text one has good word prediction and a good selection of phrases. These compare with the more expensive AAC apps except that you cant modify them unless you buy the computer software. Thank you so much for making these free. I will be recommending these in my workshops.
Awesome app! Wonderful app which my 90 yo grandmother took to like a fish to water in effectively communicating with us after her strokes left her without the ability to speak.
There is just one thing that needs to be fix but this free app is still awesome! The audible speech doesnt seem to be working on the iPad. However it does work on the iPhone. Minor issue that Im sure will be fixed soon. Huge thanks to the developers from a father of a non-verbal autistic little boy. Cant say thanks enough!
