Share? Bigger button options?

Hi!
I am loving the app. But how do I share buttons and boards to collaborate use with therapists using a different device? Also is there a way to make the buttons bigger for easier differentiation when a younger kid is learning and using the app? Also please keep this free. It’s a godsend to have this app and all of its features without the price tag

Thanks!

Thank you so very much for providing this free,(presently), app! I am using it for a student who is awaiting an AAC evaluation. I do not have access to other apps as my employer provides very little help in this area. You are giving a voice to a very smart little person! A million thanks is not enough!

Developer Response ,

Be sure to keep an eye out for future releases and complimentary resources available on our Website. As always, our TwinklCares team are available 24/7 if you have any questions or queries... they'll be very glad to help. Have a great day!

Best and Easiest AAC app out there!

I am a CCC-SLP and I love this AAC app. It is easy to use/edit, the icons look friendly, and easy to share a created communication board with others or between devices. I tell everyone looking for AAC options about Twinkl Symbols.
