Reviews: What People Think About Weave Chat AAC
reviewer mcreviwerson
Rating: 5/5
I downloaded this app when it first came out, a couple of years ago now. Then, it was a bit clunky, clearly earning the name “beta”. Since then it has massively improved, become sleeker, and the AAC features more robust. I have come to expect updates regularly as well as near continuous adding of vocabulary. Recently, vocabulary has been aimed at adult users and, as an adult user, I very much appreciate this. Recently they added the ability to add your own category (not just an icon) and this was a much needed feature. I can now organize my added icons in a way that works better for me. Something else I really like it that I can text my friends with icons using the messaging feature. I have never seen this in another AAC app. As a part-time AAC user, this feature allows me to continue to communicate when my regular communication methods are not ideal.

i love this app but i wish editing the buttons could be slightly easier, like if i could edit them from the main board page by clicking like a settings button in the top right to unlock the board so i can hold down on any button to edit it, and having a + button for adding a new word to any page/folder without needing to go back and forth in different menus for adding and editing images of words, because doing that currently is a little bit of a struggle and feels more time and mental energy consuming but otherwise its lovely and im so grateful it's free, if you guys could make the button editing easier in the future i would be so happy

Unlike other apps this one is actualky free there isnt secretly things u cant do til u pay. Also after entering birthday was able to get nsfw word options and swears which is good because i HATE when these apps assume only kids use them or that ppl who use aac dont swear or have sex etcect. Aslo!!! very good queer words! lots of queer words! lots of identities! they have my gender! which isnt a commonly found flag :)
(only problem is that when u make ur own word and then u wanna edit image only choice is ur ohotolibrary not the weavechat icons. thats a bug hope they fix)
About Weave Chat AAC
Weave Chat AAC is a free, dynamic, and completely customizable AAC app that is available to a variety of devices.
Weave Chat AAC offers a large variety of verbs (green), pronouns (yellow), questions (purple), nouns (tan/orange), adjectives (blue), and conversational words (pink). All color choices were made based on the Fitzgerald Key and new vocabulary is added weekly.
Users can add their own custom images and categories in Settings —> Manage Custom Images.
In addition, users can add their own custom phrases that can easily be accessed from their board; to add phrases, go to Settings —> Manage Phrases.
Users can select a synthetic voice (dependent on their device settings) from Settings —> Change Voice Settings - here you can select your voice, vocal pitch, and rate of speech.
Image and text size can be personalized from Settings —> Change Image & Text Size (select from default - small, medium, and large). Settings —> Configure Image Keyboard allows the user to turn on/off features that allow for the category text to be read aloud (synthetic voice for categories), to keep the user in the category after a image has been selected (stay on category after image selection), and disable the speech output for individual words so that it only reads aloud when the white text screen is touched (synthetic voice disabled for individual words).
The AAC board can be modified in Settings —> Manage Board Builder. Here, the user can select from the default board (you must make a copy to edit it - to do this select “Add new keyboard” and then select “Hide Images” for Type of Keyboard); grid position boards (ranging in size from 1x2 - 7x15 rows/columns); and Board Builder (gives you the option to build a board from scratch). All boards are completely editable and all custom images and categories can be used from all boards.
Lastly, Manage Pin Configuration allows the user to set a pin over all (or just some) aspects of customization to lock down features as needed.
