I'm starting to get fed up with how difficult it is to find a good aac app, so here's me complaining about it.

Aac shouldn't cost money. You shouldn't have to pay to communicate. And most decent aac apps cost way way more than they should. I understand maybe some premium features that cost like 10 dollars, max. But all basic features should be free. I'm not paying a company money so i can talk to people.

They should be available on all devices. I can't try TD Snap mainly because I don't have apple app store. Even if it is free, your app can't help people communicate if they can't even download it. They should also be designed to work well on both tablets and phones.

Aac apps should be fully and easily customizable. Layouts, words, folders, symbols, colors, everything. You should be able to make your aac work for you, and you should be able to do so easily.

I'm so fucking sick of fighting tooth and nail to find an app that works for me so I can literally just communicate. I shouldn't have to try this hard.

i think lots of people do not realize how long it takes to set up aac (low tech or high tech)

low tech requires lots of printing and cutting and laminating and hole punching and more cutting etc

and high tech requires hours of sitting with device and customizing not just settings but words, folders, layout etc

A free and open-source progressive web app for Augmentative and Alternative Communication

Another free symbol AAC app, this time one that is a web browser based app like Asterics Grid, making it accessible from devices like chromebooks. It is called AACore. It's in UK English.

It comes with several pre-loaded core word board and a keyboard, but you can also edit it or import/export a board (seems to take .json files). It has dark mode, font options, and a search function! It appears to work offline, like Asterics, and can be added as an "app" on a tablet or phone the same way.
