1. 5/5Best App for Communicating with the hearing impaired

   This is the best app for quickly communicating with the hearing impaired. You can type the sentence or phrase you want to say and simply tilt the phone in landscape and your message scrolls across the screen. The text is large and easily readable even from a distance. The scroll speed is likewise adjustable. What I found extremely useful and quick is using the dictate button and dictate the phrase or sentence you want to say. Best App ever for the hearing impaired.

2. 5/5Great Idea - Very Useful App !

   I tried Sky Text mostly just to see how it worked. It is a very cool application and works great. What I did not expect, however, was to end up using it so much. In less than a week of having it installed on my iPhone, I've actually found many occcasions to put it to practical use. It's the perfect way to grab a wait-person's attention in a loud, crowded restaurant. I can enter a custom message to communicate with my daughter who is always listening to her iPod and can never hear me when I talk to her. As great as it is, there is room for improvement. One thing I'd like to se in future versions is the ability to set your own text color, background color and font. I recommend SkyText to anyone - you will find it more useful than you can imagine!

3. 5/5This is super cool!

   I love this app! It is really easy to use - I love the way it just takes a flick of the wrist! Ok - maybe it is a twist of the hand - but it works! And it is fun to keep track of what you are saying - I text a bunch and this follows a format I am use to. The letters are clear and easy to read- and the vibe at the end of the text let's me know I am done. Yea, this one is good - easy to use - works well and fun. I checked out the website for the heynow - they know their stuff!

4. 4/5Easy to use

   I think this is an easy to use scrolling-banner app. You can enter a new message (or choose a saved one) right from the first screen. It did take a little while to figure out how to save a new message as a preset (it's the "+" sign next to the text box). And starting the message-scrolling is as simple as tilting the phone on its side. This seems more intuitive than some of the other banner apps. I also like that it buzzes/vibrates when the message has finished, so it's easy to tell when to stop holding up the phone. I like the icon, too. :)

5. 5/5This is the one.

   I play guitar in 3 bands and I need this in crowded clubs. I've tried all the other apps like this and this one is by far the best! Finally it's fast to use and you can see it ACROSS THE ROOM. I used it on stage last weekend and the audience finally could read it. The sound engineer downloaded it the minute he saw mine. Make sure you have a protective case though cos the ladies all wanted to play with it;) Excellent job!
