Proloquo2go App Reviews

My granddaughter is essentially non-verbal. For years, 11 to be exact, we have tried to give her a voice. We thought because she can repeat that she would eventually began to talk. To our dismay it did not happen. Finally with the advice from a girlfriend I decided she needed a communication device. I purchased a iPad mini and loaded Proloquo2Go on it. She is picking it up fairly well to my delight. This program on the recommended intermediate is so expansive. I love how you can customize it. I wish I had done this years ago because we would be on a better speech ground by now. Please to all who have similar circumstances do not delay whether the child has speech or not make the worthwhile purchase of a speech program. This program is certainly affordable and can be utilized into adulthood!!

It would be nice to be able to activate a pop up screen that allows student to only have a choice of two items so for example only 2 buttons that say cheese or bread so that they don’t keep choosing all other items that ar not a available at the moment.

My autistic non-verbal granddaughter had TouchchatHD when she came to live with me this summer. It was good, I had gotten Proloquo2Go years ago when she would visit. She had to give up her other device with the TouchchatHD and with the purchase of a small refurbished iPad, the Proloquo2Go program has proved to be exceptional and easy to learn. I love that it says the letters as she types. A very good program, although not the latest version because of the age of the iPad. Still works great.

Logan brings his IPad with this app every where we go and especially school. I wish that it was an app that every child in his class that would benefit from it could afford. It’s a bit pricey but worth every penny. ~The Caldwell’s

I started using P2G for my son at the age of 5. He has autism. And since then he has surprised me thousands of times , at times I was so confident that I know what he wants to but when he expressed himself using P2G it was no where close to what I had assumed.A must buy for all desperate parents who want to take one step ahead in this long journey.

This app has been perfect to give my non-verbal son with autism a functional means to communicate. His behaviors have decreased. I have recommended this app to many others and even for people who have communication issues due to stroke, neurological issues,etc

We have been using this app for 7 years and love it! We appreciate how easy it is to program and use. I researched for several months before making the purchase for home use. This was the highest recommended at the time. Our son is 20 and non verbal unless prompted to say something. He quickly figured out he could make food and beverage choices which was very motivating for him. We even have it programmed for fast food choices. He also uses it to select leisure activity choices. I highly recommend this app! Our previous device was heavy, slow to start and cost $7,000. The iPad, app and protective case was well under $1,000.

I’m autistic and I have seizures as well as SPD and complex PTSD. I have Fibromyalgia, lupus and ME (chronic fatigue if you don’t know what it basically is.) and many other diagnosis. This app has helped me communicate when I can’t. I am verbal but some situations cause me to lose my ability to talk. Great quality, great vocabulary, wide selection of voices to choose from. All around great app for anyone with a need to use an AAC.

Thank you so much! As a primarily nonverbal transgender woman with autism, your app has granted me the ability to communicate again after I suddenly and without warning lost my voice at 23 due to extreme post-traumatic stress disorder. Thank you so very much!

The program is good for my non verbal autistic son. The program would be better if they made it for android users too....

Proloquo2Go is an excellent product and the support we received from Pam was first rate.She is knowledgeable & patient & was as determined to solve our problem as we were. Success!

This amazing is amazing! :)

After my 2 strokes I loss my voice and I was using my thumbs for my communication but since my Proloquo2Go my life and my communication skills better. I think more voices would help please the Boston and Cal voices

This app is extremely versatile. You can use a library of pictures, take pictures from within the app, and even choose photos from your device’s album. There are multiple voices avail which you can customize the characteristics of each. You can make it as simple or complex as you want. We started with just a few icons for our cognitively disabled son and gradually increased the grid to (currently) like 6x8 grid of icons. He knows it’s layout better than we do. This is an awesome app with awesome support both through developer and a Facebook users support page! I highly recommend this app. If you feel your iPad is not loud enough with a protective case, there are amplified iPad cases you can buy elsewhere.

This last update made it impossible for my son to use the app for communication. We have had non stop tantrums because of his inability to communicate and his high frustration levels.

I use the app I totally recommend it! The app is the best one out there for communication and has so many voices you can add your own images other ones I’ve seen the voices are seoprate the app is easy to navigate and figure out you can add words change pronounces which I love you can add folders which is helped me figure out were all of the things are though. I use this to communicate becuase I cant speak its the perfect app though not that expensive compared to the other ones I’ve see. The only thing I wish that I could turn off is the news for the app since it drives me crazy to get notifications about new update please make a setting to turn that off other than that it’s good app

Great communication app! Best investment I ever made for my daughters with Autism. Worth every penny!!

I like this app and use it with several adults. It is easy to use and program. A few things I would like to see is more macros that open up other apps or features on the iPad such as a button the would open up picture gallery or email. I would also like to see this app with a zoom feature. So that if a button is selected it zooms or enlarges (I don't necessarily need the whole page to enlarge)

So far so good. I love that I can use pictures instead of icons. Simple to use, easy to creat new boards, folders and icons. I use dropbox to keep all our devices the same. I have tried a few AAC's I like this one so far.

My son is 13 years old and non verbal. He has been using proloquo2go for several years now. He has gone from basic communication to using complete sentences independently at home AND in the community!!! DO NOT HESITATE IN PURCHASING THIS APP!!! This new update makes it easy to create different users and vocabulary. The webinars and tutorials make it easy to learn, and the company is very receptive to its users and creates features that are requested. My sons frustration level has dramatically decreased now that he can communicate his wants and needs!!!

My son is severely autistic and non-verbal, he has a Dynavox communication device that he loves!! The problem is that it is hard for me to program and make adjustments to, it usually is left at his school which does not help is at home, and is very cumbersome, also hard for me to program! I have been searching for different apps to use on my iPhone and have found nothing that works like Proloquo2Go! This program is AMAZING! It lets us use the program on my phone as well as his iPad, which we purchased just to use this app and he is sooooo excited to have a voice any where and if we need to charge the phone or iPad in the car we can and it is more socially acceptable! Thank you soooo much for helping my son!!!!

This app open the door for my autistic son to be able to express himself better! No more frustration when trying to communicate. Thank you so much!!

This app is wonderful! They have so much support I can't imagine having a hard time using it. Just like with any technology, they update it to make it better! There are webinars that are extremely helpful and Facebook support groups. This app gave my non-verbal son a voice! I have used other voice apps and found none as versatile and easy to use as this one. The customer support is always on top of their emails. If you compare the price to the prices of many voice boxes that can range in the 1000s, it's a steal! My son uses this program every day and was able to pick up on it quickly. I love the fact that we can put it on his iPod touch as well and he can keep it in his pocket. I can't say enough good things about this program.

Updated today, the app is completely blank now, shows nothing but options. This is a very expensive app and I would certainly like to get my money's worth! Come on, people!

My son is nonverbal and autistic, along with a few other acronyms. He did Ok with sign and PECS but never really GOT IT and never really had motivation. We did a trial with talkers and he had no interest. Just when we gave up, someone mentioned proloquo. I mentioned it to school, they got him a loaner, we downloaded it onto our ipad . In two days he was interacting with it INDEPENDENTLY. He has some significant academic and other delays so I was skepitcal. But he loves it. It was easy for us to set up and personalize, we even downloaded a young boy's voice. We can take our own pictures of things that aren't in the database. We can customize it fully. WE LOVE THAT. We also have PRC and it is a good program but for some reason Proloquo is a bit easier for our son to use. We have the support of the school and he is suddenly vocalizing since starting to use it! He is now saying, "I WAAANT". I like that you can choose between core words and basics, too. I cannot say enough good things about it! Just be sure to work with your child's therapists or educators. It will pay off!

I have a 7 y/o nonverbal autistic son. With this app he is now able to comminicate his needs and wants. It has been such a frustration saver!!!! The only thing i would like to see improved is the back button is too small. We have tiers of "I'm thirsty" and it brings you to drink choices.. he can't get back to chosoe (ex:) I'm hungry" because he is in the drinks and needs to back out to his main choice menu and the back button is too small...

Proloquo2go is like throwing 1,000 flash cards on the floor and asking a kid to build a sentence. The interface is a mess of folders nested with folders and finding what you want among thousands of stick figures is near impossible. The level of customization necessary for each individual makes the interface design even more perplexing. This is not an easy app to customize. It's basically a confusing melange of flash cards. My daughter just stims with it and creates two minute-long run on nonsensical messages. I can't stand this app.

Our daughter is verbally challenged, she has been using this app for almost a year now and we been so happy! The first time going out to use it she had her very first conversation with an old school friend. I cried from how she glowed from benign able to cross that language gap. The school finally upgraded to using this same app for her at school, so she taught them to use and input things. Love that you can customize the voices! She sounds like she should and not a robot. She can now tattle on her siblings lol

Great app, Price is a bit too high, max I would pay is $80!

We love proloquo2go.....we love the new American children's voices they just added with this update my son sounds like a kid now. We still love all the features that came with 2.0 update the Page buttons have made it easier for him to use and being able to color buttons different has helped him due to his visual impairment. Thank you for giving my a voice!

Love it

We paid good money for this app when it first came out, but our special little man will not benefit from it much until the developers add a switch scanning access. We have been patiently waiting. Hopefully they can get the ball rolling with this one!

I agree with another reviewer. It definitely takes time, a lot of practice, patience, and determination to get use to this app. I think GoTalk is more user-friendly. There are just too many pages and customizations that it's almost too much customizing because then the child can't use that customized setting across environments. We are using Words for Life, LAMP, which has been good. I think it comes down to testing out different apps until you find the one that works best for your situation. I just wish this app came with a free version. I had to pay $220 to find it wasn't the best one for us.

This app has been a great resource for my son — freeing him from the old, unwieldy dedicated devices that he used to use. We found a great solution with Proloquo2Go and an iMainGo portable speaker. Unfortunately, the newer iPod Touch doesn’t fit into the iMainGo — and the “update” for Proloquo2Go won’t load on an older iPod. I’ve tried to reload, but I can’t get the old version of the program back. Please — either fix the update, or re-release an older version, so we can continue to use your product.

Great idea but not so user friendly.

I LOVE this app but, since I downloaded the child's voice it's been crashing when I try to open it. Has anyone else has this happen? I'm not sure how to explain to my daughter her voice isn't working today. :( I will contact tech support Monday.

I think this app was nice, but I had nothing to compare it too. It is very expensive, confusing screens, but just about everything you'll need. I mean, real life stick figures are the way to go! :/

Our 12-yr-old son who is nonverbal has been using P2G for about 2 years. Every update the dev's have made have been based on user input. The dev's are the most empathetic, caring, responsive group--they will do everything (and I mean virtually everything...they personally respond to questions within minutes) they can to make P2G successful for the user and their caretakers. This latest update is amazing, especially with the real American child voices. If you are a parent with a nonverbal child, you will rejoice at being able to hear your child speak with a voice you could only imagine before this. Dedicate yourself to making P2G a priority to use every day and I believe you will find this app to be a miracle for your child.

Thank you for this update! I love it!!

Love this app for my non verbal adult daughter with autism

This app has given my nonverbal son the power to change his life!

First time I updated the app waited hours and it still won’t open . I purchased on July 20 not even two months. 270 dollars should be refunded. Had many things started for my grandson and now he cannot even use the app he is semi verbal but now that we cannot even open he is very upset . Thank goodness grandma put abc mouse on his kindle works just great .

Waiting to hear from support but seriously....I have to buy a new IPad because it won’t run on two perfectly good older iPads? Why isn’t there legacy software that will work on OS9*?

This app offers a voice for those who can’t speak.

Although we’re still just getting started this software is already proving to be empowering, proving my non-verbal son has more to say than we sadly ever gave him credit for. Definitely a learning curve, but given the stakes and the customization available, it’s not too bad. Can’t wait to watch him advance with it, hopeful he continues on his current trajectory! Thank you!

I have had other apps and the voice is so quiet it can’t be heard even this is $2.49 very expensive for some pepole who can hardly afford it like me I deleted it am not using it the ton I dynavox is $1.79 and is easier to find stuff with thus app not recommended.

My daughter lives and communicates with this app Thank you thank you thank you and that’s not enough.

As an SLP, I find this app to be comprehensive and user-friendly. One complaint though, I don’t appreciate being prompted for a review mid-use! This is a paid app designed for use as an AAC device for individuals with limited communication skills. I would not be happy if I was in the midst of a training session with a nonverbal student and had to deal with a pop-up request for a rating!

This app is the only truly accessible AAC app for low vision and hard of hearing! Many customization options, parental restrictions, backup and sync options and the best manual & help videos imaginable. You can find the answers to all of your questions on the website. I love that this app will grow/adapt for my son's language development!

We purchased this app for my son, who is autistic, after his speech therapist recommended it. I am so happy we did! His tantrums have decreased dramatically because now he can better communicate with us. I am indebted to this app!!!

This App very helpful. Thank you so much

I had problems with an update and because of a bad review, Pam from customer service, contacted me proactively and helped me resolve the issue! One big shoutout to you, Pam! You did your job with great patience and acumen! C'mon, Proloquo, don'tchya think Pam is up for a pay raise? (My idea, not hers!) Anyone who gives this product a bad review does not know how to use it!

This app is simply incredible.

Highly customizable, easy to use and learn, easy to grow to very complex from very simple. With ABA therapy my daughter has learned to communicate.

I love the app but I have a suggestion. There is a bug that makes the volume turn down in my phone when the app is opened. This makes me have to perform extra steps to turn the volume back up before I speak. Not sure why that happens but it would be great to get it corrected. Great app.

Most reviewers speak of what Proloquo2Go can do for children with communication difficulties. But it is important to point out that it is also a powerful communications tool for adults who have lost their ability to speak due to neuromuscular disorders or other conditions. I lost my voice to primary lateral sclerosis and have been relying on AAC technology since 2007. I've been using Proloquo2Go since the first iPad came out. I love having the power of sophisticated speech in a lightweight package. I especially appreciate the amazing customizability that gets increasingly powerful with each update. I've created well over a thousand custom buttons that get me through most of the situations I encounter, from shopping through doctor visits. The variety of available voices and the ability to assign different voices to different buttons adds a little fun to the day. My one wish is to be able to import a sound and assign it to a button.

P2G has helped my daughter continued to be movitated to communicate. With her limited verbal ability it has helped her to better explain what she is trying to say if we or others don't understand her. Tech support for P2G is also excellent! One helpful note about back-ups - do them and use DropBox!

My autistic nonverbal son has been using this app for over a year now and it's worked out great. He started with PECs when he was 2, then in kindergarten he moved to the iPad with Proloquo2go. The app is very user friendly. There are a lot of training videos on the website and a helpful staff to answer any questions and provide additional resources. The other reviewer, Mom of 4 kids, had an issue with the Options button visibility. I think this is an IOS9 issue, to bring back the toggle to show and hide Options all you have to do is exit the Settings app from multitasking, hope this helps.

We have been using this program with our non-verbal 8 year old for just over 3 years now, and I can truly say that this update makes all the difference in the world in terms of ease of programming and ease of use! I especially love the new snap back and pop-up features so that my son doesn't have to navigate through so many folders to make his thoughts known. And the new template feature will certainly help with motor planning and it's a million times easier on the programmer, who know longer had to take hours and hours to make sure that each page has all the core vocabulary in the same places. Way to go, Assistiveware!!!

It will come tomorrow.

I bought this app the day it originally became available and I have loved using it with my students and my adult clients ever since. What would make it truly awesome ...PODD (Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display) templates! Please, please, please consider making them available for this app!

Please, please, please put back the Options Button Visibility section with the Show Options Button toggle that was formerly in the iPad Settings under Proloquo2go. My kids can be locked in Proloquo2go with Guided Access but now that I upgraded to Version 4.1 that feature is missing. Without the ability to hide the Options button on the lower bar of the Proloquo2go screen, my non-verbal Autustic kids are getting into all the settings and messing up their boards, icons, everything! Can you fix this ASAP? Thank you.

When trying to synch across devices, backup and restore is a must. Anyone else having issues with Google account backups? (Otherwise : great app!!)

I have used this app with hundreds of kids with great success and recommended it to many schools in the past. I have conducted district wide trainings on how to program. This versions programming is not at all intuitive and has lost its ease of use. I myself am frustrated and am finding myself utilizing other communication apps. Sad because this really is the best when it comes to features but now takes a far back seat to those that are more intuitive in programming

As a multi-disabled woman who is nonverbal, deaf, partially blind, mild autistic and slightly physically disabled, I found this app, Proloquo2Go a helpful in modifying my behavior to match my age in a positive way and liberates me from using communication partner (the interpreter) by giving me the degree of freedom to communicate with the hearing people while I am on trip for various activities such as shopping. This app was very helpful in preparing me for open our world to prove that I can freely communicate with whoever as I am on go. I believe this app has given me the increased degree of independence of communication and social time. It has given me many positive avenues for shaping my future life through undergo a positive behavior modification and positive social time.

I am loving P2G 4! The new crescendo vocabulary is awesome particularly how it scaffolds each level of vocabulary learner while still focusing on evidence-based use of core vocabulary! The options to move from level to level and still have vocabulary in the same place is so important. Great job!

We got this app for my son who is autistic and non verbal he has been using this app now for about 6 months and it has been a life saver for us. We wouldn't have any other way to communicate with our son. Thank you for this amazing app and for the opportunity to experience it with our son 😊

If you not sure if your kids going to like it, Don't buy it ,because they don't offer free trial,my kids don't even touch it it's sitting in my cloud ,wasting over $200

I love this App for my students we can get them talking and they love it!!

When we set a photo image for selection, we would like our daughter to be able to expand the photo when she touches it in the same way that a photo experience in an album of photos.

Over all this is a really good app However it needs a lot more voice options , there needs to be more diverse voices and more range in the voices. So far all the voices are mostly white if not for the Spanish language vocabulary set. This needs addressing Additionally there needs more grammar supports and ability to ad to or edit the grammar supports or make a work have both bpverb noun supports This also really needs to be available on Android. More languages eventually would also be good, like polish and Irish and finish

My daughter had tried another app and did well with it so I wanted to get her the "best" app. Well this thing is terrible. I've had it for a month and can't get it set-up in a way that's workable for her. It's incredibly difficult for her to navigate. No wonder they don't offer a trial, no one would buy it after tyring it. To top it off, we consulted with a AAC specialist and she said this is the worst app of them all.
