App Review: Go Talk Now

October 18, 2026, 2:32 am app featured disability special-need

Hi everyone

I wanted to review a nice app for helping persons with language disability. The app is Go Talk Now.

App store; https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gotalk-now/id454176457

This apps is a magic tool to help create a electronic PECS systems for special need person as it allow to create all the page related to the person days to days. (Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC))

That allow the persons to talk via the apps with the communication icon.

The app is offered in multiple language and you can select th voice type (Male or Female)

Some printscreen;

The app is offered for the Apple Watch too which can be useful for some preset, it's a simplier menu, but can be set as wished.

The app offer Google Drive or such backup type.

You can import page sent by email to you too, if youhave a clinic that help to create them in exemple.

In overall I find it a must have app if it's needed for you, and it's one know by a lot of clinicians.

Tech Tip: Amazon Fire Tablet Parental's control

October 10, 2026, 2:32 am featured device technology parental control

I wanted to review the parentals control of the Amazon Fire Tablet.

The product can be paid by months, but be advised I review the free version, which still allow some parental's control.

The first step is to register the tablet under your own amazon account as a parent.

The second step is to go on the dashboard; https://www.amazon.com/parentdashboard

After that, we are presented with that page, which we can skip;

From here we can go see the settings and content we want to allow on each kids device.

We are presented with a resumy of the tablet use;

We can click to see like the schedule and settings;

I recommend to turn off the web browser, as it's a way to bypass the restriction;

After that we can see the content;

We click to see owned content;

Be advised, a paid game can be installed on all devices, BUT in-games purchase NO so watch for in-games purchases, as it cna be tricky to re-import.

For my review, I found the parental control really nice, only drawback are the ingame purchase mode, which are hard to transfert, like if your kid broke is tablet, the ID dont fit, so you have to contact all game to reactivate.

Today I wanted to share a small and free TV app, ICI TOU.TV.

The App feature in-direct TV feed, but more importantly one dedicated to the kids in a 24/7 fashion, which is nice.

There is one live Agent-Jean's channel, for older kids.

Be advised some more adult's content is available on the app, and no control to limit the age.

A App worth featuring is the Roku App for the Blippi's channel.
