What is Grace 4?

Grace App is an evidence-based picture exchange app designed to encourage and reward independent communication through the use of images. It is designed to be owned and updated by the user, with minimum support from care-givers. The app works by offering a selection of images in categorized folders where users can select a picture to add to the “sentence strip”.

I like the app

By Blind oh woman (Pcmac user)

I love the app but I think it needs more cards.
Good methodology but needs refinement

By jeremyebrown (Pcmac user)

I am a special education teacher with the Montgomery County Public Schools' Programs for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. I am actually on the verge of launching a 1:1 iPod Touch project in my classroom! The idea of migrating PECS methodology to the iPod Touch/iPhone is great. This is a MUST have app for any professional or parent in the autism community. I was very excited about the relase of the app and downloaded it immediately for use with students. There are serveral minor changes I would suggest. First, the ability to hide/show & rearrange categories. Second, adding custom PECS under the pre-made categories. Third, support multiple users/students on one device. In other words, multiple PECS books on a single iPod Touch/iPhone. Perhaps menu on launch where users select client/student working with. Once such changes are made, the app will be able to be individualized for each child.
Please try the free app before you buy. If you can

By techinspecialed (Pcmac user)

I agree with Horribly_Disapponted. I have seen reviews on some positive reviews on some Autsim app review sites. when it was announced this is free for the autism awareness day, I jumped on board and downloaded the app. I am glad I got this when it is free. Here are some of the several issues with this app. 1. Very basic skeliton app. icons are not clear. It may have worked for the kid it is designed for but not for others. 2. No way to change these icons if you don't like them 3. The labels are embedded in to the picture so you have to make them with label 4. All your imported pics go in to one folder make it is difficult to view if you have more than one page of pics. 5. The icon for the custom folder is stack of pics. 6. Operationally, when once I add an icon to the 'velcro' at the bottom it is not easy to move. 7. Doesn't use any features available in iPad/phone such as slide to go back to the categories. You have to click on categories every time to go back. 8. No voice output which is not advertised but is essential for this type of app. The user (kid) is going to say what they want and it is easier for the adult helping the kid to hear it rather than looking at this one. I wish I can write several suggestions but they are so many, I gave up. I think the developer needs to go back to drawing board before putting this online again.
Very disappointing, and price/value is far too high

By Brian Nichols (Pcmac user)

Since it is hard for many app developers to make money, given the limited size of the audience for autism affected families with iPhones, I would support the ability to charge $40 for a useful app which enables a PECS like system in the iOS environment (ie iPad, iPhones, etc). Yet this is not that app. It is far too limited for real-life use, it shows promise but after several months of waiting for new releases with useful features I am afraid this is simply a dead end product with no merit to it. Do not buy this for your autistic child. Unfortunately I cannot recommend any other tool either, but this tool is (apologies to the developer/promoter for being harsh) ridiculously limited. The paper system is far far far better, as difficult as that is. A real replacement for the paper system would be a truly useful system for parents like myself with an autistic child.
