"Awesome, awesome, awesome! I wonder why it hasn’t been developed before. It is great to have the situational modules at hand so easily. This is just perfect for us to prepare sessions with clients with a minimum of time consumption. It is really nice that you have chosen very interactive and playful contexts that are age independent."
Alycia Berg, MS, CCC-SLP, Boston Children’s Hospital
"I have to say, I really like Sono Flex. I believe that the control that a user has over it is going to be very helpful and prove to be successful over other currently available products where one can just flip through screens without having access to a full communication system that supports interaction.
I really love the Context-based pages. It is great that you include phrases in these as well for quick interactions that are specific to the context-based pages. Glad to see About Me as a context page.
The way you can swap out context-based pages is really brilliant and helps to expand the communication opportunities without increasing the navigation demands."
Judy Lariviere, M.Ed., OTR/L, Communication Specialist, Rett Clinic, Oakland Children’s Hospital
"Looks good. I like the way the vocab is laid out and you can change one bottom bar it’s possibly the fastest way of changing vocab I have seen."
Will Wade, Lead Occupational Therapist at Kent Communication and Assistive Technology Service, Researcher at Oxford Brookes University, Operator of Apps for AAC website
"I love the vocabulary and the mix of core words and situations.
What I like: Layout of pages; no vertical scroll; grammar feature; situations, situations, situations. Editing is very different, but once I got used to it I liked it (I like to see the whole page as a list, that is cool)."

[My iPhone X Can’t Get To iOS 15]
my friend Xavier uses this app because he cant talk. it is very good for him to use his communication skills. thank you!
I was hoping this would work for communicating with my students but it is difficult to us and on my iPhone XS the icons at the top are cut off and not functional. Seems like it would be good if it did what it was supposed to and were more user friendly.
I love this app! This is so easy to use and learn how to communication with. In a matter of seconds I can edit a button to add my friends picture and name to a button. This is going to help so many people communicate! Excellent work Tobii!!!
This app is easy to use, my autistic students are able to navigate with ease. I have another student who uses the Tobii c12 with the sono software products. Will Sono Primo be an app as well? Love those pictures/stories!
Tons of great things about this app. Organized well. Fairly easy to use. A few requests. One would be word predicition. Secondly, I would like to have the option to be able to have the word stated as soon as the icon is pressed rather than having to build the sentence and then push the message bar. It is to many steps for my 8 year old daughter to do. Also, she needs the immediate feedback of the sound of the word she has just picked to be more accurate in her communication. Finally, make a password that is required before changes are able to be made to the screen. It is to easy for her to get in to the modify content areas which means i am constantly having to watch when she uses it.
I don't like tobii as a company. They have no language organization or strategy and are here to make a buck. People have no idea about language and just jump on any wagon tht has something new. Do some research people.
First off you have to figure out how to make it speak: tapping in the white area doesn't always work. The voices are horrendous; the kids voices was a good thought but it doesn't work. The layers to get to options is confusing, a 'real' SLP(A) or anyone involved in speech and language would know this. There is no option to make the items bigger; they are way to small on this program. Overall they need to go back to the drawing board.
