Review & Comparison of the Features in Digital PODD iPad apps in 2021 (simPODD, Grid for iPad, TD Snap and PODD with Compass)

Review & Comparison of Features in Digital PODD iPad apps in 2021 (simPODD, Grid for iPad, TD Snap and PODD with Compass)

I just updated my comprehensive blog post about PODD AAC to add Snap Core First with PODD to my in-depth review and comparison of features in all of the digital PODD iPad apps currently available in the USA App Store: simPODD, Grid for iPad, TD Snap and PODD with Compass. Rather than doing it in a separate post I decided to add it to that post to keep everything PODD related in one spot.

Updated info is highlighted throughout that post and I tested all links and updated those. Scroll down towards the bottom of the post until you see the same pic that is on this post to find the app reviews and comparisons of features:

.
Want to suggest PODD resources or info to be added to that post? The best way to reach me is via Facebook messaging over on my OMazing Kids page. If you are an app developer and would like to have me review a new digital PODD app for the iPad or PODD that was added to an existing app via IAP, please send the link from the USA App Store so I can look at the info before you send a promo code. I want to make sure that one of my iPads is compatible in order to try it out.

How to do a “Forced Restart” on an iPad

Posted on by

Did you know that a “force-restart” (aka “hard reboot”) is different than the normal process of turning off an iPad? It’s similar to the difference between restarting vs powering off a computer. When an app is acting glitchy a “force-restart” will often resolve this issue. Just to be safe, be sure to backup any customized programming in an AAC app BEFORE doing a force-restart

https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/force-restart-ipad-ipad9955c007/ipados

How to force-restart an iPad with Face ID

1. Press the Volume Up button for one second and release it.

2. Press the Volume Down button for one second and release it.

3. Press and hold the Power button for five seconds until the Apple logo appears.

How to force-restart any other kind of iPad

1. Press and hold the Home button.

2. At the same time, press and hold the Power button.

3. Continue to hold both buttons for about 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo appear.

This simple process often resolves the issue.

If not, there are other things to try. It’s best to look on Apple’s website for that info since the process varies based on the model of iPad & the version of iOS it is running.
