Grace 4

I love the app but I think it needs more cards.

Super start to a usable pecs system. Like options to add own photos . Needs more word sentence starters or makers, such as asking questions like "where","why","how do","who","what",and "when". Need a category of verbs, adjectives, and adverbs to build sentences if the child is able to. Also a catergory for times with digital times and general morning, afternoon, evening, and night words to select. AM and PM would also be nice. This would give them a way to discribe their thoughts about activities and objects. an emotion category is also missing. just the option to add our own categories would be great!

I am writing this review as an iPhone developer who understands Autsim through a family member and also the system Grace App is putting in place. I am also writing this because I feel passionately that every word of the previous revue is hurtful to the developer and the Autistic community as a whole. The App is not intended to have sound. The system is not intended to speak for the learner but to help them find their voice. This is clearly written above. This is not Flash, it is not cheap. iPhone development costs hundreds of dollars per hour and requires deep understanding of memory management. There is a very good reason why iPhone DOES NOT SUPPORT FLASH. The support email and websites work just fine. If they did not at first the issue has been fixed. I contacted the developers to discuss the app. No corporate entity would make this app. If I thought it would be a profitable App I might even try to do it better myself. The App is made by a mother of two autistic children who is spending valuable time away from them and a developer who is donating his time to work with her to bring it to the public to help others. There are a handful of apps designed for Autistics in the App store. Near as I can each one is effectively a donation to the community even at a $39 price. If you want to see better apps for autistics and ongoing improvements I would recommend buying this and every other app that is out there so they can continue working. If you see a problem provide the developers with feedback so that you and they understand what is needed.
