This app is very glitchy when creating a file with many slides Saving the file times out and the app exits Unable to send a copy of my file to email or save within the app Works better if you have a small file with fewer slides that you are creating can usually email those with success         glitchy angieshel

Please put this feature back         Google search gone why 5983

As an SLP I really like using this app for my students who need visual supports I love that you can search within the bank for pictures and edit them as needed The quick creation of a game board is also super fun and the kids really enjoy taking them home to practice I love the differences in verb tenses as well and I like having the ability to change the background colors and things too                     Great And Versitile App for Visuals JorRuiz

I love the ease with which I can make visuals for my speech sessions I either use them within the actual app save or open save them as PDFs I love that I can quickly create and edit it on my iPad then save to Dropbox to quickly print at school without direct printing available from ipad vs using it to direct print at home I use and manage a lot of AAC devices haven t quite gotten the printing features figured out to make all of the templates to work for the indicated devices but I love that there are many templates for specific devices as well as many visual handout and game templates to get you started                     Excellent timesaver MelanieSLP

I got this app after a colleague recommended it and I couldn t be happier with it I work in the schools and clinic with students 3 16 I love that I can create boards in between sessions or even during sessions for take home practice The teachers I work with are always impressed with how I bring back the icons boards they asked for so quickly This app makes it easy to do with the user friendly search by category sounds in all positions and multiple icons characters for one word I cant say enough good things about this app                     Amazing Mrsalexstewart

I love the templates and overall concept but working with text is unnecessarily difficult When you add the symbol you can add your own text but cannot from that screen adjust the size of the text If you don t add the text on that screen you can add it to the main screen There you can type in your text and then move it say beneath the symbol However it is a chore You cannot see the bounds of the text field you are trying to drag Oops You ve missed the text field and now the app offers to change the symbol etc If you want to simply move the text you have to tap to close the symbol offer So you do that and you try to grab the text again Maybe you re fortunate this time and you manage to grab the text field Oops You must have TAPPED the text field rather than grabbed it and now there s a text option box You must tap out of that too because you simply want to drag the text oh joy now the text is no longer all on a single line each of the three words sits atop another and this stack won t fit beneath the symbol as you had planned Maybe you try to resize the text field and just for a split second the text appears on a single line but no now the words are stacked again It is time to face reality You have four additional boards and worksheets to prepare So you decide to live with the three level stack of words and manage to drag it onto a small area outside and to the right of the symbol I spent waaay too much time creating a handful of boards and worksheets this evening can you tell                 Getting better TrainerMomof3

I have always loved Custom Boards but have just used the new version for the first time The flexibility and ease of adding Google images is wonderful You can easily find perfect images of important phrases like hug please or play dough time and then adding your own text is a snap As a busy SLP I highly recommend Custom Boards for quick colorful and meaningful AAC boards The templates for schedules games and signs are also ideal                     A must have for busy therapists china1919

I love this app and how quickly you can use it to create materials You can use the preloaded images or import from google images I love that I can create a PDF and email the document to myself for printing or to parents for home use The only two issues I ve come across since using this app very minor 1 I wish you could create your own grids box sizes 2 The preloaded images for colors They have color blobs and paintbrushes I prefer the color blobs but for some reason there is no green                     Great app but could use minor improvements CFM, SLP

I downloaded this app a couple of days ago Unfortunately I am having a really difficult time getting my templates to save properly Once I get this figured out I think it will be really useful but up to now I have been frustrated when the app has crashed during the saving process or when it seems to have completed the save and I go look at the file only to find several pages missing I ve emailed the developer and hope to get some feedback soon At that time I am sure to give it more stars     Having some problems saving my templates Mavsfankelly

I like the flexibility this app provides when making boards and the number of templates is great I would like the option as in board maker to add multiple pictures to a cell in order to create the desired icon I got this app when it was on sale for 30 I think and I would definitely not have paid 99 for this app No Way Update November 2012 app crashes whenever I try to add pictures from my ipad                 Decent App SpeechTherapist

This app is helpful for quickly coming up with boards for AAC students and for making games and other printables for all my students I like the number of images of available and access to Google images gives you quick customizability The new feature of locking the screen is a great idea since the students sometimes accidentally not accidentally get rid of the screen I want them to see Overall it s a nice cheaper alternative to Boardmaker                 helpful for the AAC students and for others too SLP in CA

Custom Boards is a fantastic and much cheaper alternative to Boardmaker Great for quick creation of your own materials I ve had wonderful experiences collaborating with my classroom teachers while assisting them with the creation of visual schedules and communication boards on my iPad They ve found this process to be quicker more enjoyable and less daunting than using certain other computer based programs Thanks Smarty Ears                     Awesome App for SLPs Kyle Epps, MA, CCC-SLP
