Touch Chat HD Honorable Mention
This is another high-end AAC app. This app is often recommended by professionals in the field. You can buy several add-ons with more vocabulary that adds to the cost. They are known for having the best vocabulary. This app is good for someone with a higher vocabulary that would like a large number of terms. The best apps in the category tend to be the ones that are the most user-friendly. That is because of the time commitment adding pictures and vocabulary.

LAMP Words For Life
This is a high-end AAC app. The price is higher than many of the other high-end apps out there. The app has a good number of pictures for someone that is younger that is learning to communicate. It is more of a picture based app. For children or some people with a limited vocabulary having more pictures is an advantage.
