  • Adding Photos

    I was diagnosed very late in my early 20’s with dyslexia, dysgraphia, math and bad short/long term memory. So retrieving and hold information verbally is extremely hard for me. This app seems to help with that. Letters are large and I can add whatever image to that task I want. Remembering appointments, events and other minor task like ‘remember to close/lock window’ or make sure ‘remember to turn-off stove”. Its helpful. My only complaint is I should have excess to my own photo library. Taking photos one at a time for me is mentally draining for me.

  • Help please

    I want to add categories, I went to your manual and it said to tap on the button on the bottom left of the “all tasks” view, yet when I click it, it is asking me to add a task.

    Please help.
  • Quickly create visual schedules

    Very easy app to navigate and create visual schedules for individuals with disabilites. And did I mention it's FREE! Occasional glitches when freezes in photo selection mode on iPhone, but just close app, reopen and all good. Nice to break down steps of task for individual who needs step by step direction. Allows you to check off as complete each step. Look forward to trying it on our iPad.

  • Very helpful

    My autistic son uses this app to learn new tasks and chores around the house from organizing to cooking with simple steps!
  • Very disappointed

    I had been looking for an app jut like this one for a while and thought I found what I was looking for. Until I realized that you can only do 3 tasks unless you pay. I was even fine with that until I found out it would be almost $17 just to be able to do more than 3 tasks! Very disappointed to say the least.

  • Automatic Voice

    This app has been great to learn independent cooking.

    A request for your next update. Please add more options to the schedule calendar. It would be nice to go back into previous scheduled tasks and delete all the old tasks. A little more calendar friendly would be nice.
  • Empowering lives towards independence

    CanPlan is barrier breaking piece of technology. The app will move individuals with disabilities or memory challenges towards independence like no other piece of technology that I have seen so far. Increase independence in a person's daily living including: life skills, job skills, and any other task in a persons day that might need a step-by-step guide with time and day reminders/alerts. Powerful!

  • Great for visual thinkers of all sorts

    Also artists, people with dyslexia or low literacy, small children-wow! What a great app! Parents, this app had real potential to help you help the 'slow to remember what to do next' family members. Also great for teaching techniques. I can't believe I never found it before now!
  • Good simple app. Appalling price

    This app is clever and designed for ease of use. $45 for the full version is completely appalling. I have clients who could make use of this app but none able to pay $45 for an iPhone app.
