Is Proloquo2Go available on Android for your child?

What we checked, and when

Platform answers go stale, so this one is dated rather than assumed. On 15 August 2026 we looked at the live Apple App Store listing and searched Google Play for both the app and the developer.

AAC apps that genuinely do run on Android

This is the useful half of the answer. Android is not empty. It just does not have the single best-known name. Every app below was confirmed live on Google Play on 15 August 2026. Prices move, so check the listing rather than trusting any number you read in an article, including this one.

• CoughDrop. The closest thing to a straight swap. Its own site lists iOS, Android, Windows, Amazon and the browser, with the vocabulary stored in the cloud so it follows the child between devices. Sold as a one-time purchase, a month-to-month plan, or an annual site licence for schools.
• Avaz. A picture-based communication and learning app for people with special needs, in the developer's own words, on both Android and iOS. Vocabulary levels can be set to match a child's stage rather than dropping them into a full grid on day one.
• Cboard. Free and open source, and the only genuinely no-cost option here. It runs in a browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, works offline in Chrome on Android, and its makers describe it as a free web app for children and adults with speech and language impairments.
• Leeloo AAC. An Android and iOS app aimed specifically at children, which makes it a gentler starting point than the professional-grade systems.
• Spoken. Worth knowing about, but its own makers pitch it at teenagers and adults who type or handwrite as much as they tap symbols. For a young non-speaking child it is usually the wrong shape.

Before you pick any of them, get an AAC assessment

Choosing AAC from a list is how AAC gets abandoned. The grid size, the symbol set, how the vocabulary is organised and how your child physically accesses it all have to match the child, and none of those are visible in a store listing.

Two things matter more than which app wins a comparison:

1. 1Ask a speech-language pathologist for an AAC assessment. They will trial systems with your child rather than guess, and they will know what is fundable where you live.
2. 2Ask about funding before you buy anything. In many countries the app and the device to run it can be funded through health services, insurance, education budgets or disability schemes. Families routinely pay full price for something they could have had covered, and that includes the iPad, if the assessment concludes your child needs an Apple-only system.

Where Help Me Talk fits on Android, and where it does not

We make Help Me Talk, so weigh this accordingly. It is on Android, and it does include picture-based communication: your child taps pictures to build a sentence and hears it spoken aloud, plus boards for planning the day and naming feelings.

It is not an AAC replacement for Proloquo2Go, and we will not sell it as one. Proloquo2Go gives a non-speaking child a full symbol vocabulary that grows with them for years and becomes their voice. Help Me Talk is a speech practice app with picture boards attached: 30 guided sound lessons and over 6,000 practice words, phrases and sentences, where the app listens to each attempt and scores it.

So the honest split is this. If your child cannot tell you they are hungry, you need real AAC, and nothing on this page changes that. If your child talks but is hard to understand, or has some words and struggles to string them together, then practice is the category you actually want, and Android is well served there.
