Revised March 8, 2024. The following message is for those who frequently use one of our CLASSIC TouchChat® apps.

PRC-Saltillo’s three Classic TouchChat® iOS apps (Classic TouchChat with WordPower®, Classic TouchChat, and Classic TouchChat Lite) will be removed from the App Store® in early May 2024.

Classic TouchChat Apps are Retiring

Classic TouchChat apps were the original apps released more than a decade ago for the iOS technology available at that time. Technology has advanced rapidly in the past 10 years. It’s no longer sustainable to bring you the best possible app experience for your communication goals with these older apps.

We invite you to explore our high-definition apps TouchChat HD with WordPower and TouchChat HD:

Continued software updates for new features and increased performance
English, Spanish, and Canadian French options within one app
Universal apps supporting iPhone®, iPod®, and iPad®
Variety of access methods in the app including integrated head tracking (with applicable iPad/iPhone models), configurable switch scanning, and a range of touch access features

How do you know which TouchChat app you have? Look at your device’s home screen where all app icons are located. Classic TouchChat app icons have pink or purple backgrounds as shown below.
