 PRC-Saltillo’s three CLASSIC TouchChat iOS apps (Classic TouchChat with WordPower®, Classic TouchChat, and Classic TouchChat Lite) will be retired in early May 2024. These three original apps were released more than a decade ago for the technology available at that time. If you frequently use one of our Classic TouchChat apps, learn more about your options here.
