Step & Star
First-Then visual schedules
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now with clearer audio in silent mode and a new high-contrast dark mode. Build calm, predictable First-Then routines your child can follow independently.
Step & Star turns everyday routines into simple "First, Then" picture cards — show what to do now, and the good thing that comes next.
Step & Star is for kids and adults who do their best when they can see what comes next — and for the parents, teachers, and therapists who cheer them on. Predictable routines bring calm, confidence, and a lot more "I did it!" moments — whether it's one child at home or a whole classroom.
Setting up a board takes seconds. Then they see one big, friendly card at a time — tap to hear it read aloud, finish the step, and watch it advance with a little celebration.

Ratings & Reviews
Clearer sound: cards now read aloud even when your device is on silent - no more wondering why the audio went quiet.
New high-contrast dark mode for easier viewing in low light or for low-vision users.
Record your own voice on a card and try it out - a familiar voice can make all the difference.
Polish and reliability improvements throughout.
Thank you for using Step & Star. We'd love your feedback!
