"My daughter has nearly mastered the navigation, so much so that one day she brought it to me to show me she wanted Taco Bell for lunch. This made me cry. My child had a voice for the first time. Thank you for being the one to give my daughter that voice". - Amy Kinderman

I really enjoyed it while we had the free trial, but after I paid for it, it's only on the device I used to pay it with (my phone). It's not showing up on my son's tablet who is non verbal due to hearing loss and really needs and enjoyed the app and having a way to communicate. Please fix it!!

Seeing - Data isn't encrypted. - Data can't be deleted. Uninstalled. This is unacceptable. As an AAC app you should at least provide users with adequate privacy and a way for users to delete their data.

My Autistic son has always used proloqo2go until the latest update! which was too complicated for him! So we switched to Avaz! So much easier and just as pleasing to the eye! Very happy!
