MelanieSLP,
Has excellent potential!
Very nice start. We've seen other apps from Smarty Ears start out with a few kinks and then greatly improve with future updates to become definite 'must have' SLP apps. Benefit of investing in an app from such a solid company! Love that it incorporates familiar color-coding, a nice clean layout, and relatively simple editing. Might become my go-to rec for families who want to get something in place while we're working on the bigger AAC eval process. I'm very excited to see what they have planned for the future of this communication app.
Rsgduke,
Most effective app to create your own communication boards
I am an SLP always seeking for new AAC apps that are effective and efficient and since I purchased this app in a bundle with custom boards about a year ago, I have been extremely satisfied with how user friendly both apps are. My students love using expressive and have augmented communication using this app instead of those expensive devices that often times sit on shelf of a special education classroom unused. This app is so effective because once you purchase it you can download it to any ipad the buyer owns and use it with various students. Young and old students both love the pictures, and one enjoy using it to communicate. I pair it with communication books I make using custom boards and students answer questions from their communication notebooks using expressive. I thank the app creator who is a very knowledge and creative SLP because not only is app fun, but the app is often updated, and targets both core and fringe vocabulary. I highly recommend this app. For future improvement, I would recommend that this app works out of cloud system, that way any changes one makes could be made by the SLP from home and show changes when synched as does the app coughdrop (an app by another app developer). Expressive and coughdrop are my two favorite AAC apps to use in the public school setting and in the medical setting with both pediatrics and geriatrics.

Tawni Miller,
Great idea but needs tweaking
App crashes often when creating a new folder with images. I also wish the app would just open when selected without the Smarty Ears loge/intro song. It’s distracting & it causes a delay for access to the app.
Blind oh woman,
Please update
Love this app and wish you can update it.
jeremyebrown,
A powerful app with a simple user interface that can increase a child
Expressive is a must-have app if you have or work with a child with special needs who struggles with communication. I am using this app in teaching young children with autism. My students and I enjoy the simple, user-friendly interface as well the preloaded vocabulary and symbols. Users can easily create folders and add more vocabulary from the built-in image library. We cannot wait for some of the features to be included in the next update (which you'll get for free if you purchase!) - like adding your own images to Expressive's built-in library!

The good: relatively inexpensive, easy to use
The bad: very limited set of icons, voices are not consistent when you record your own, so the output is not the same voice, can't change labels, icons are not able to be locked, so a little kid with fine motor problems can move them all over the place, the vocabulary is not little child friendly. Also, when using your own pictures, they are cropped into the icon, leaving them very small. the Overall I am not ecstatic about this purchase, and feel that a lot needs to be improved to make it a successful AAC app. Luckily I got it on sale, and didn't pay full price, although I feel the money might have been better spent on something else.

Some bugs
Great program with easy programming ability. However, glitches prevent some pictures from being added. Unable to copy full files around to re organize. Unable to save my own pictures in the picture library for future use. I am an SLP and use this app during therapy with a variety of students. Each child has their own folder, and it would be nice to reuse some of the pictures without having to re record titles.
Jess324729,
Great for SLPs!
This app is very similar to Proloquo. Easy to use and individualize to fit a child's needs. I would like to be able to edit the buttons and folders a little easier (if you want to rename the button you essentially have to just delete and make another one) and be able to move/drag buttons in and out of folders. Other than that, I like it! Good app! I'm excited to see more updates coming soon! Thank you!

Good for Younger kids
I got this app for my 7 year old daughter who has Apraxia. The app is great for one word conversations - perhaps more for a smaller child. Though, she wants to talk sentences and it seems a bit limited in that category. She would like to be able to build a sentence with this app and can't. So, great for smaller kids just learning to talk - but not quite enough for old children. Would give it a 5 if we could build a full sentence and get it to speech the entire sentence at once.
