Clicker Communicator AAC review
A one-time purchase for iPad users who want editable AAC grids and a choice of symbol sets.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Clicker Communicator AAC is an iPad app for augmentative and alternative communication, designed for learners with speech and language difficulties. It is aimed at classroom communication and participation, particularly for people who want ready-made core-word vocabulary sets they can personalise. Users can also create and edit communication grids and vocabulary sets, with speech output and access through touch, SuperKeys, or one- and two-switch controls.
Symbol choice is a central decision: the app comes in separate Widgit, PCS, and SymbolStix editions. According to the vendor’s pricing page, each costs £199.99 as a one-time purchase. The editions differ by symbol library, rather than by listed feature tier. The CrickPix curriculum picture library and free curriculum-based LearningGrids resources add classroom-oriented materials. For schools, the vendor notes that each device needs its own copy, so the per-device purchase requirement should be considered when budgeting.
Vocabulary sets can be shared or backed up using email, AirDrop, and cloud storage; listed services include Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and WebDAV. That gives users options for moving sets across supported workflows, while keeping the app’s platform scope specific: it is for iPad, not a cross-platform AAC choice. Consider it if an iPad user would benefit from prepared core-word sets, editable layouts, and switch access. Those needing another platform, or an app available on a free plan, should look elsewhere.
