I'm going to show you how to change the type of a tile - from a word tile to a category tile or vice versa.

To do this, first make sure edit mode is enabled. Go to settings and toggle the appropriate switch.

Then you can press the three dots of the tile whose type you want to change. Let's say you want to make "hello" a category: press the three dots, scroll down a bit and toggle the switch from word to category. In the preview you can already see that an arrow appears. Press save in the top right and the tile will be converted to a category.

Want to make it a word tile again? Then go back to the three dots and toggle the switch back. Note: you can only convert a category to a word tile when it contains no underlying tiles. Do you have tiles in the category? Remove or move them first before making the conversion.

Press save and the tile becomes a regular word tile again.
Frequently asked questions
What does the free healthcare provider account include?
The healthcare provider account is a free account with unlimited access, designed specifically for healthcare professionals such as speech therapists. With this account, you can easily demonstrate and introduce the app to clients without having to create a separate account for each client.
How do I request a free healthcare provider account?
The process is simple: first, create an Express Me account using your work email. This automatically starts a free 90-day trial. Then send an email to info@expressme.nl with the email address you registered with. We will then convert your account to a free healthcare provider account with unlimited access. There are no costs or obligations involved.
What happens after the free 90-day trial period ends?
After the trial period ends, access stops automatically. No payment information is required upfront, so there are no obligations. Only if you wish to continue after the trial do you choose a subscription and enter your payment details. For current pricing, please visit our pricing page.
How can I pay with iDEAL or Bancontact?
In addition to payment via the App Store or Google Play, you can also pay through our platform. Go to platform.expressme.nl and log in with the same account you use in the app. Select your organization by clicking the arrows on the right side. Then click "Start subscription" and choose your preferred payment method, such as iDEAL or Bancontact.
Are the costs reimbursed by health insurance providers?
Currently, the application is not yet reimbursed by health insurance providers. However, we plan to take steps in the future to make reimbursement through health insurance possible. This is included in our long-term roadmap for the application's further development.
Will it be possible to add specific functionalities to the application in the future?
If you have a need for specific functionalities, we invite you to contact us at info@expressme.nl. We are actively working on the continued development of the application, and your feedback helps us allocate our development time as efficiently as possible for functionalities that best match your needs.
