Also, the only alternative I’ve found costs upwards of £90, so it’s handy for the only free one I’ve found to be able to keep up with the crowd. Apart from that, it’s a great tool to use! I have autism myself and struggle to get my point across and sometimes I’m having a sensory overload and can’t really speak. I would learn bsl, but I find it’s too tricky and frustrating for me so this makes for a great app for anyone who’s struggling to communicate, either if you can speak or not. :D It’s great but... 29/10/2017 ElipticShadows The app hasn’t been updated in over a year, and I fear that it won’t be accessible to future versions of iPad and iPhone.

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded grid player and provided feedback. We have updated Grid Player to match the look and feel of iOS7 A lot of you were finding the Slide to Close function hard to operate especially after updating to IOS7. We have replaced this with a close button at the top of every grid. If you want to prevent the user from accessing this button you can use the Guided Access options (new in Accessibility Section of iOS7 settings app) or you can turn off Closeable Grids in Grid Player section of Settings App. Some users also found Shake to Undo was clearing the sentence before it was spoken so we fixed this bug. Grid Player can now talk in Danish in addition to all the other languages we already support Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (UK), English (US), French, German, Greek, Italian, Norweigan, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. 1.6.0 10/02/2014 Thank you to everyone who has downloaded grid player and provided feedback.
