I love this app I am autistic and sometimes I struggle to speak so this is great. The only thing is I would like there to be a sentence bar at the top so I put the words in like I tap the buttons and press play and all the symbols are said together that would be great.

You should try this app. This app is really good for people that cannot talk. So you might want to try this app and it's a really good app. And so people that cannot talk like my kid. She? One and she uses this app and it's really good.

The code appears to be broken, when you click on a word or symbol the voice says "speak (insert word here) slash speak" so it makes the overall experience of using the app a bit weird. That being said, I like the range of symbols available and it's great to have the option of adding your own photos/symbols. The variety of boards and books is a good as well dependant on the user. It would be great to have more customisable features like being able to design the people, emotions etc.
