SoundingBoard transforms your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad into the latest in communication technology. In just minutes, you can create create custom boards using AbleNet symbols or your own photos.
This app comes with preloaded pictures boards and sayings that are fairly generic and not PCS however you can edit link record and it s completely customizable You can put a picture you take with your camera as a button and record your voice to say what you want when it s pushed and link that button to a separate page such as I want movies Tangled My son prefers this app over TouchChat currently because the borders are wider between buttons which makes them easier to see Play with this first before you decide on paying for TouchChat Alexicomm or LAMP I ve done 3 out of 4 and SoundingBoard is still top pick                     Best Free AAC App You ll Find Anywhere PlanetCrazy
This app is supposed to allow you to create your own boards but they never save Even edits to the existing boards don t ever save Not sure if this is an iOS 10 issue or something but the app is fairly useless without this feature Shame was recommended by our speech pathologist         Can t save anything Mattmiz
Love this app but I can t record over the informative icons because it s not compatible with IPhone 6s Plus or the IPad Air                     Not compatible for IPhone 6s Plus Cheleshocked
Thank you for making this app So helpful for my autistic 3 year old                     Thank you 7min beast
Try to purchase a new board and from that point on CRASHES very disappointed since this was my son s easiest way to communicate I have repeatedly deleted and reinstalled and continues to crash all because I foolishly wanted to add a new board     Crashed over two weeks ago still crashing Fleewee67
I did in app purchase now it won t stay open     Crashes TimConfer
Icons are not consistent with Boardmaker or SymbolStix icons I cannot see any of my students using this as a communication tool It is ok as a free app but I would never pay for it     Not a comprehensive communication device JAH1388
It crashe s everytime I go into the app     Please fix tiffanywithum
In the past in this app I couldn t make my own boards that is I could make them but they were never saved and didn t show up above the preloaded boards where they are supposed to be With this latest update I can now make user created boards which show up BUT the board I created has only one button that shows up the first one I made The other three buttons don t show up I like that when I use other scripts on my iphone they show up on the board eg Mandarin Chinese and Cyrilic I got it to make my own boards in languages other than English ALSO I cannot record my voice over your preloaded boards I record and it doesn t save I need to change the language to be able to use this app Please fix it I love this app if only it would work         good but .Jul.
I read the directions and have been able to make pages Very nice for a free app Thanks AbleNet                 I m an idiot JenDodgeOT
I am using this app for my seven year old that has DiGeorge Syndrome 22q11 2 global developmental delays and cortical visual impairment I love to have the ability to customize boards for him for home and educational use The new option to change the background color is one that I very much appreciate The only issue that my son has while using this app is that when he touches a tile it does not always activate the sound and he has to touch it several times for the tile to respond Overall this is a wonderful app for children with various abilities A big thank you to the creators for allowing my son an app that he can achieve communication goals that he was unable to                 Great App 22q11.2
I use this app in a classroom setting with a non verbal student on the autistic spectrum It literally gives him a voice I love the adaptability of the app We use it for schedules story boards requests etc One of the best features is the ability to personalize boards using photos of the student and the materials he uses Being able to link the boards together is very helpful The new import export feature is such a timesaver since I had been creating duplicate boards on three devices Exporting the boards is also a great way to back them up in case the iPad has a problem                     Awesome app Tautotes
This app is somewhat easy to use I would like to see more picture cards for kids especially schools related Such as simple questions and commands like May I use the bathroom or No hitting or Stop running This would be very helpful for young school age children I work with children that have autism and things like this would be extremely useful It just needs more content even if you group them together and sell them for 0 99 like the others I would be more than happy to provide you with a list of commands questions I use with students on a daily basis Thanks             More Content dclingenpeel
I recently updated this app for my non verbal son The older version was easier to scan and operate with his switch button The boxes were bolder and easier to differentiate I was wondering if there was a way to downgrade Overall I love the program and how easy it is to use Chris                 Older version better Ccsarage
This app does not work all the time actually most of the time when you add your own pictures and information The idea behind it is great but the application is lacking     Sounding board Aulbrey's mom
4 0 came with much anticipation However we ve noticed after using with several individuals in communication classes that the arrow to go back is too small The previous version was difficult especially for those with fine motor issues but the 4 0 version is that much harder to manipulate We like the boring black and white background but it would be nice if you could choose a different color just for those who need the visual guide All around SoundingBoard is still one of the best programs we ve had the opportunity to use with our clients         4 0 needs work Riverreviewer
i would give it a 5 but on several of the ipads that my students use I will save a page icons save each of several intermediate spots and even change the edit field Then the next day the newly developed page is GONE I hope to see an update that addreses this problem Norman Beyer SLP             losing new pages normlbeyer
I m a speech pathologist and I love using this app with my special needs preschoolers It s customizable and the image gallery is extensive however the magnification is an issue Because I use it on an iPad I have to magnify it thus compromising the graphics Is there anyway to make an iPad version to avoid this                 Great AAC Device but Not Perfect AnnaKayRay

I am a speech therapist The problem I see is that often 2 touches are needed to activate an icon button Many of my students lack the focus and motivation to keep touching the icons twice             Easy to set up but SLP missjen
I needed an app that was highly customizable appropriate to adults or children with natural sounding voices and an array of symbols to choose from I found it with this app and I m thrilled It is perfect for a range of people with mid level disability and is so intuitive to use Love the accessibility options and data tracking as well And free I will be recommending to multiple speech therapy patients                     Just what I was looking for Lchamber
Loved this app I just got it and was able to set up a simple board for a severely impaired high school student It was soooo simple to make and bring other pictures into I ve tried other devices with her but she likes to keep pushing the same icon and will inadvertently change the page or the device will keep repeating itself I think this will suit her needs perfectly Yeah Thank you                     Amazing Mewax
I have only looked briefly so far but am very excited by the possibilities I do wish there were a universal or iPad version however                     Awesome DJiggly
I am an AT professional and in my opinion this is the easiest to use and easiest to program communication app available even including the other high priced apps currently available It is more customizable than the pricey apps and works just as well if not better                     Very impressed MVB29
The ability to make your own loards is great My son is almost 3 yrs old and is just starting with using a talking app this is a great low cost app to start with until he has more ability and words in his vocabulary I don t want to buy a 200 program right now Thanks for this one It s great                 grat for beginner angel9229
Good features symbol library and concept only problem is that I cannot create new boards with new symbols I keep hitting save button to insert symbols but does nothing         Some bugs apres_ski
My 3 year old is non verbal and is just learning to use the SuperTalker I was told by an AbleNet representative about this app and decided to give it a try This is a FANTASTIC app It s very similar to the look of SuperTalker but without the paper grids and bulkiness of the device My kiddo is just being introduced to the iPad but I feel confident once he s good at it this will be his communication app thanks to you Kudos to your development team                 Best I ve Seen RMJohnston67
We need more px available on a page Also black background with better contrasting pictures It is very limiting right now Love the auditory scanning capability             SLP Bigakita
It s a wonderful app very easy to use one of the most useful ive seen so far for either verbal or non verbal children however my son has been working on putting sentences together It would be nice to have the option of a sentence strip something they could place the pictures on if they flip through the pages if you have for example food choices on a page and let s say your first pec choice is I want then they could line their food choice next to it and we add one for please after so once he s made his choice he has a sentence he can look at and possibly say instead of having all the options that he doesnt want in between                 Love the app but i think it could use one little tweak Amomstar
I downloaded this app to use with a 10 year old speech student of mine who is very unintelligible We had looked into purchasing a very expensive augmentative communication device and decided to explore other options Another free version of a communication app TapToTalk was extremely limited Then when reading the reviews for TapToTalk I noticed a user s suggestion to try SoundingBoard I had to give it a try I ve only had the app since yesterday and I ve already made several boards specifically tailored to my student He LOVES it Pages are simple to make and the ability to link buttons to other pages indefinitely is SUCH a plus This free app does as much as I needed the very expensive aug comm device to do If I don t see any glitches as time goes on I will be entirely thrilled Thanks for making this free                     Very pleased SusanSLP
This app worked great for a while in fact it was the only communication app my daughter could use But the last time we tried to add content it didn t work and she wasn t able to tell her friend happy birthday Please fix it         What happened Camillajoy
Although the application does function as stated the cells are small Unfortunately the program does not utilize the entire screen and it does not give you the option to change the size of the cells either The Ipod screen is small to begin with and not being able to utilize the entire screen is not practical I regret buying this app You are better off with proloquo2go It is also difficult to get back to the home screen There is no clear button to lead you back It should be clear especially since it is being used by special need children I also made another mistake I should have read the reviews the audio does not work at all so don t waste your money It is also difficult to get support from this company     images are small onthelookouteducator
This AAC application is a great tool for families and teachers who want something simple and easy to use The ability to create new board sets easily is key and is definitely available in this app I like the pre set board creation templates as well as the ability to record your own voice for playback options It is a great product to provide alternative communication options for people with communication difficulties                     AT consultant ATconsult
This does NOT work on the iPod touch The developer is well aware and claims to be trying to fix it Very disappointing     Buyer beware mrkot
Bought this app for my son who has global developmental delays While the picture choices are very limited the ability to add your own pictures is a definite bonus Also enjoy being able to apply my own voice to the board layouts is a great feature The price is more than worth it considering other apps can cost more than 190 Doesn t build sentences but if you are looking for the user to at least have a way to pick between certain choices than it is definitely worth it                 Good starting point spiderscar
I like the set up of this app but students need to have pictures with all the words including the page title             Works well but needs some improvements NorfolkPanthers
This app is so easy to use and to customize with their photo library or your own photos I love the flexibility of having a choice of 1 9 grid choices This app is your creation from the beginning and can be updated with ease Only cells that have been created will show on the screen Happy creating                     Very user friendly AAC Girl
Bought this to help a 5 year old with CP Very dissapointed that they don t offer letters as choices No symbols for yes no either I thought there would be many more symbols than what they have So sorry I spent 50 on this I should also add that the navigation in creating pages could be much easier There are many unnecessary extra clicks that have to be made compared to other AAC aps I ve been trying EVERY one I can get my hands on When you take your own pics it does not give you the option of cropping centering zooming yourself yet it takes your rectangular pic and converts it to a square for you leaving off important info Needs Improved navigation for quicker board design like iComm Some basic pre formated pages Editing options for pics and boards changing the size and placement of the choices as it is you can only swa out designated spots Basic communication symbols for yes no alphabet etc I m going to just stop looking and give Proloquo2go a chance Didn t want to pay the 189 but I ve already been spending too much trying the cheaper aps like this one I m not sure the designers spent time looking at other aps If they offer some good updates this could improve greatly         No letters Not enough symbols to be worth 50 jwiliff

This app would be more useful to children with trouble with motor skills if the main menu was not so small Not too useful for my childs needs because I have to choose the board for her and dont know which one she wants Kind of defeats the purpose of having the large icons on each board when its so small to get to it And most children who need the large icons probably cant read and the icons on the main page are extremely small maybe this us a setting i missed Also has been even less functional since the new update Child keeps editing boards even with the editing lock on Im guessing this is a glitch This app may be useful for other people with different needs but not useful enough for anyone with not fully developed motor skills           Was better before update
