You can have as many Proloquo2Go user profiles as you want on your device.

It is often convenient to have one main user and another user for testing changes. For many teachers and therapists, it is helpful to have a separate user for each student or client.

Make a new user

  1. Go to Options* Options icon at the far right of the bottom toolbar.
  2. Tap User.
  3. At the bottom of the list of users, you will see two choices: Add User and Duplicate Existing User. Add User creates a new user with no customizations. Duplicate Existing User creates a new user that is an exact copy of a user already on the device.
  4. Follow the prompts to finish creating the user. The username you choose must be different from any users that already exist on the device
User section of Options in Edit mode, with possibility to delete a user

Delete users

  1. Go to Options Options icon at the far right of the bottom toolbar.
  2. Tap User.

  5. A Delete button will appear. Tap it.
  6. Proloquo2Go will ask you if you would also like to delete all the user’s internal backups. If this is okay, tap Delete. Otherwise, tap Cancel. (The user itself will still be deleted.)
