New version of Clicker 8 – we are about to release a new version of Clicker 8 which makes file sharing with Clicker Writer much easier – you can specify a shared cloud drive as the ‘home’ folder in the Clicker Explorer. This is also used for sharing class/user settings between computers. Cloud Storage in Clicker and DocsPlus | Crick Software

Clicker 8 French – We are working on a French version of Clicker 8 which will have a French interface as well speech / prediction / pictures and spell checking.
Clicker Apps
- Clicker Writer is now available as a Progressive Web App for Chromebooks and the iPad version has been updated too: Clicker ESD | Crick Software. This new version is much faster to download amongst other refinements.

- Clicker Writer Arabic is scheduled for development in the first half of 2022.
