This app seems to have a lot of promise however, the amount of time it took me to set up a day or even two or three days and try to use it with my children was not enough time. I did like that I could custom add images. I also liked that I could make different lists however, I wish I could make a list on the computer or on my main device and it would link to our shared devices. I found it frustrating having to repeat list for both my children on separate devices if they were similar. This may have the option of doing that but because there’s only three days for the free trial I didn’t notice this option. I also am curious about the hundred dollar option. $60 is not a a lot, but too much for me to purchase with the amount of information I got from just the three days.
Closest to what I’m looking for

This app is almost exactly what I’m looking for. A lot of apps have like calendar planning—I don’t want to put my daughter’s entire routine on every day of the calendar. That would be way too cluttered. Some of them are more like lists that you cross off and then the items disappear. I don’t want that either. This colorful app is designed exactly to follow a kid’s consistent routine every day, which is what I really wanted. It was the only one I could find that’s designed exactly like this. It is kind of expensive for the limited functions, to be honest. Some of the other apps I tried had way more functions and cost less. I know that the pricing is going to vary but I would appreciate a little bit more functions for the price I am paying, but that’s ok. I know things cost money BUT.The absolute biggest change that I would REALLY like to see is the ability to share the routine with different people. Currently, I have this routine set up on just my phone only, but if I could share it with my husband and allow him to access it as well, that would make me SO happy. As far as I can tell, this is not currently possible. Add this feature and my review would be 5/5!
App improvements

I was trying to create this list for my daughter. I never could figure out how to share the app with her. Side note: my daughter has special needs. I’m trying to teach her independence. So I’m looking for a scheduling app we can share so I can monitor if she is staying on task. Which you can do by the way. In my opinion it was not user friendly when I first started using it. However, the improvements seemed to help. For example, I like that I can import information. Therefore, I don’t have to constantly retype repetitive tasks.
The best I’ve tried!

I am an adult with inattentive ADHD and DID. I’ve used many scheduling and to-do list apps for adults that were very functional but didn’t work for me. Then I looked to see if there were apps for ADHD and there were, but lucky me! I found this one, aimed at children!Bright colors, cute icons, sounds, confetti, and my daily schedule repeats, all I have to do is uncheck the boxes (I haven’t found a way for it to repeat without doing this but there may be one… it’s not a bother to do it). I love it and it’s working for me like nothing else has! As a former kindergarten and first grade paraeducator, I know that this is spot on for kids with ADHD!!!
We’ve squashed some bugs and made performance improvements to keep things running smoothly.
Thanks for using the app! We'd love to hear your thoughts — a quick rating or review on the App Store really helps :)
