Ok, I made this text to speech app for people with speech impairment some time ago for Android, and a person with cerebral palsy finds it very useful and he asked me if I can make a version for iOS. I never tried this version of Thunkable, mostly because I don’t have an Apple device of my own, but I would like to help this person with his disability. So these are my questions: (I think I know the answers but I’m double checking just in case) 1. If I get an iPhone, can I use it without a phone line, just like a little tablet with wifi to live test the app? 2. Can I send my app to somebody else, just like I do with an apk in Android or I need to have an App Store account? 3. In my app I use TinyDB. Is the iOS component Local\_Storage kind of the same as TinyDB? 4. Looks like there’s no way to change the pitch and speed on the iOS TextToSpeech component. Is that right? I know these questions are a little dumb but I’m just checking if it’s possible to do this before I waste time trying to learn this and getting a device unnecessarily. Thanks in advance. ---

1. If an iPhone is already activated, you can use it without a sim card. If it has not been activated with a carrier, you need a SIM card to get started. 2. I don’t know 3. Yes. There is a TinyDB component in Thunkable iOS. 4. I don’t know ---

So, with #1, it would be better to use an iPad, and don’t worry about the carrier, right? ---

2- You can but it won’t be professional and it will be like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/8/8cd796f11c4e0f4ccfe92cabd093764ad8bed86a.jpg) You can share the link you get to test the app but it will be available only for 24 hours. After that the link will be expired. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/6/67b8bbe120ae82b4a09b7cb1975ff058e0d40a20.jpg) He will also have to do the above in order to install it on the device. ---
