update to my review: pretty good for basic features, although i wish there was a few extra things: - option for custom voice speed and pitch. the default voice is hard to change and i cannot get it to speak slowly. - a button that shows all the symbols added onto the sentence bar. the default is too small for 4+ symbols in portrait, and the boards dont work for me in landscape - also related to symbols, a specific number selector for the size of the board instead of predetermined sizes

Been awesome so far, I actually trained my parrots to use this app to communicate what they need to reduce the amount they scream and frustrations relating to not being understood. After a year of use, I can no longer add new boards or images without them disappearing even when I save. I will uninstall and reinstall to see if that fixes the problem, just worried I'll have to remake all my boards again. If there is a fix please let me know! Cheers

I'm running into a problem when I sync the content between two devices. Content created on one device does not show up fully on the other (seemingly random). It creates placeholder items (you can tell something is there but you cant select or edit it). If you are aware of this issue, help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Love the program.
