Super, visually appealing schedule- alarm please!
I only have a long wish list because I LOVE this idea and can see us using it a lot- Pretty please- add some kind of alarm system, and some kind of way to grab the icons easier, like a search feature. Scrolling trying to find the right one, especially if you have unlocked the extra packs is time consuming (can you please add more standard icons for free such as a bed for sleep and perhaps a toilet?), and there is no way to put our most used icons at the front either- perhaps tapping in the bar could pop up a screen sized page with the icons arranged in categories of our choosing? Also we have LOTS of therapy appointments etc. and run out of room on each day bar- can you make it so you can scroll to fit more icons on each day bar? And what about a check mark when you are done? This is very visually appealing and easy for children to understand. Thank you for allowing drawing as an option. My kiddo is a reader and this is a wonderful way to quickly write down what is coming next.

Great, intuitive app
Really love this app. It's fun to play with and intuitive and helps my toddler visualize his day and the week. I like the icons and love the fact that you can upload your own pictures.
Here's a few ideas for the suggestion box:
- Perhaps I just haven't figured it out, but I would love the app to sync across devices. We're a multiple iDevice household.
- Would be great if you could "lock" a calendar in a slightly more complicated way. My 2 year old likes to move calendar entrees around, messing up the calendar.
- I agree with another reviewer's suggestion to add voice capture capabilities that can play over the icons.
- Can we get a "sleep" icon?
- Would be nice to hear "today" and the date when you touch it.
- Any way to add "check" marks across the activities that have passed, so the toddler can see where we're at in the schedule?
Overall, very very pleased with this. Have been recommending it to friends. And I don't tend to do that!

Terrific for Children on the Autism Spectrum
This is my favourite Calendar app.
Very simple, easy to understand Calendar.
I like that you can make your own icons with pictures from your photo library. I also like that you can quickly draw a picture to add to the planner.
I like that there isn't time linked to the events. Kids on the spectrum can find time issues distressing.
Students love to make their own weekly calendar by dragging the icons.
I even use this as a visual schedule and ask my students to drag off their icon when they have completed an activity. I add a reward icon to the end of each day.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could record your voice on to your own icons...?

Too basic
Very limited choice of icons and no option to make your own. Bought it but can't use it.
Almost perfect
Was looking for something to show my four year old her basic week schedule and this does almost everything I need. She can hear each date listed and quickly took to the icons for the major events for her day (since not every day she has day care, school, dance, etc). It is laid out exactly has something I'd make for her.
Only three things could make it better:
- Weather based on location
- Add own sounds to pictures
- Printing

Great App
I really love this app. It's very cute visually and functionally works without any bugs. Here is my wish list for this app...It would be great if there is an option to make Sunday appear first overall instead of Monday. The ability to import sound files to pair with pictures used from the photo library would be fantastic. Please make an audio for the little girl holding the sign to say "Today is _______" when tapped. Finally, please make it so that when tapped, a child will say the month, date and year.

Kids week
I looked at over 20 calendar apps and even purchased 2 others before buying Kid's Week. It is just what I was looking for for our daughter with special needs. I love that we can use our own pictures. I have two suggestions. It old be great if we could record our voice to match our picture. In other words if when the child touched a picture of grandma's house my recorded voice would say "grandma's house". Also it would be good if we could store our picture cards down with the other icons so we didn't need to keep remaking them. Fabulous app! I think you need to get it added to some special needs and autism sites. Thanks!

At first thought it was pretty cool, I uploaded my own pics, put them on the planner and it looked great BUT just to lean how to move the tiles around I realized when you put your pics in the bottom storage bar the actually disappear. Not happy as I put several in the bottom bar, you have to reload them. Not good if your schedule changes over a two week period like how mine does. Very disappointed..

Fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic! The exact app I have been searching for for my 3yo autistic daughter for a long time. Love the fact you can add your own pictures too, just perfect. Thank you
Good idea,but!
Love the idea,is very fun and easy to use,but it needs more space to fit more task on one day,hours to specify the time and a way to add more activities like:brushing teeth,snack time,etc. With those improvements I think this is a great tool to keep the kids on track.Love the graphics!
