I used MyFirst AAC (NCSOFT) with a student I had in a previous school. He was being seen
at a nearby university, and the clinical director recommended the app to his
mother.

Additional Comments:
When the preschool teacher & I started using the app, there was a huge snaffoo following an update. As in, there were features we needed that wouldn't work. It took quite a while before either one of us received an answer. Apparently, even though Injini's name is still on the app, they sold the app to another developer. The original developer quickly emailed me and let me know what was going on, and was concerned at the long response time I was experiencing. It took longer than we believe it should have to get a response (at least 2 weeks), but once we did, it was fixed rather quickly. I'm not sure if this has been remedied since I haven't experienced any other problems. I noticed that Injini is still listed as the contact, even though emailing them won't help.
When I spoke with the clinical director at the university prior to purchasing the app, I questioned the transfer of the child from My First AAC to another AAC App. I would assume that once a child has mastered this app, he wouldn't have any trouble transferring to another app such as Sonoflex (Tobii) or Proloquo2Go. I wasn't able to get that far with the student, so I don't have any hands-on experience with that.
