Been using GridPlayer for my nonverbal & apraxic kids at work. Thank u for making it free! I do wish the voice & vocabulary were in American English though because my kids get confused when they hear “crisps” for fries. Please add a keyboard so my kids can type words that aren’t in the database? Thank you! All in all great app!

I love it! The voice is good and sounds realistic and the interface is nice. A keyboard would turn this B+++ app to a A+++

This deserves a lot higher and more ratings than it has, it’s a free alternate to over options that could cost upwards of 250$

I downloaded GridPlayer for my non-verbal autistic son months ago, and it has opened doors for him. He is really able to communicate some basic statements with it. It really works for us also because we can't afford all of those expensive AAC apps. The only issues I have with it are that when I updated it, the sound stopped working. Then, I deleted it and re-installed it, and now the sound is working, but the abc keyboard, which was an essential for my son, is missing. This is a serious problem for us, as it is one of the only ways he has to communicate. Also, we downloaded the US English version, but it still uses many UK words like 'crisps' for chips. This may not seem like a big deal to most people, but for my son, who is just at 10 years old finally communicating, that can be an issue. I would be sooooo happy if you could fix a few of these things. Thanks so much!

I've downloaded many AAC apps and am really impressed with how these are laid out. There are three layouts you can see in the sample pages above. Going from page to page is clear and intuitive in the 2 symbol talkers, and the text one has good word prediction and a good selection of phrases. These compare with the more expensive AAC apps except that you can't modify them unless you buy the computer software. Thank you so much for making these free. I will be recommending these in my workshops.

There is just one thing that needs to be fix but this free app is still awesome! The audible speech doesn't seem to be working on the iPad. However it does work on the iPhone. Minor issue that I'm sure will be fixed soon. Huge thanks to the developers from a father of a non-verbal autistic little boy. Can't say thanks enough!

GridPlayer has come in very handy when my students have to be without their usual AAC device for some reason or another (broken, forgot it, etc.). I can't believe there is this great of an app for free! Thank you! It could also be used as an eval tool when looking at getting a device for a client.

After the new update for GridPlayer , the audio doesn't work anymore, if this gets fixed GridPlayer will continue being An amazing app.

Awesome app! Wonderful app which my 90 yo grandmother took to like a fish to water in effectively communicating with us after her strokes left her without the ability to speak.
By ASLP1
As a speech pathologist working in a nursing home with stroke patients, I can say without a doubt this is the greatest AAC app that I have used so far and the fact that its free is truly amazing. THANK YOU!

Audio does not work for GridPlayer. Hopefully it will be fixed. Otherwise, GridPlayer is great!

I have tried twice to download and use GridPlayer. It looks like it would be a great resource for the children I see at school who need augmentative communication systems but I can't get past the registration process! Deleting again.

I just did the latest update on my iPad and now the audio does not work when you indicate for it to speak.
