Executive Function support with a smile
This new app is well on its way to becoming my favourite parenting support tool, and it’s developer Erik is already my absolute favourite developer! Their responsiveness to requests for help and suggestions is second to none! Grab this app now… it’s already delightful to use, and it’s going to get even better value for money as time goes on.

Thanks bunches Annie! I greatly appreciate your support!
Unreliable
Bells don’t ring consistently.
Alarm ends in few seconds
This app has been the closest to the alarm/task management app I was looking for (especially the customizable icons etc. for fun), but the duration of the alarm is too short. It automatically ends in a few second. I hope the alarm continues ringing until you stop it. Otherwise, you’d miss is sometimes. I’ll delete this app to save space. I was disappointed because it wasn’t a free app.

Found Anything Better?
Has anyone found a calendar/alarm system for young children that works? This one isn’t saving the alarms. And I’m concerned that it says the icons don’t show up. What’s the point of having the icons if they don’t show up with the alarm? I’d prefer the option to add my own photos. I’m leaving town and need my kid to be a bit self-sufficient.

Not impressed…
Not only is it comparable to the free iPhone reminders. But what’s the point of getting to choose an icon for each reminder if they don’t even show on the notification? I bought this app so that I could use it for my daughter. She struggles with readying so she was able to associate the icons for each chore or task she needs to complete daily, but when the notification comes up it doesn’t show the icon. Definitely was not worth $3.99, super bummed.

Unreliable
It’s a great idea, and I was excited to use it. It is unreliable, though, only signaling occasionally to the alarms that I set. I’ve checked the settings multiple times, reset the schedule, and tested the sound, everything I can think of. It still doesn’t operate consistently.
Cute and soo convenient!!
Love love love this app. It’s so convenient and makes my life so much more organized. The collection of alarms are so cute and my son thinks the burp alarm is the funniest thing ever to exist. It motivates him to get up and do school!!
More than a school bell
I never buy any paid apps, but this one is well worth the money. Actually, I’m an adult and I use this to organize my day, instead of a school bell. It works perfectly. So simple yet very effective, no bs crap unnecessary functions. And the interface is very intuitive. Now I can’t live without it and i find my days a tons more productive and I get things done. Highly recommended for anyone with a busy schedule !!

Not so good
In general, the bells and reminders simply do not function reliably. The only time I can get a reminder is when I set it for 2 minutes in the future and wait. I don’t really need a reminder if I am looking at the clock and can see that it is nearly time for the next class to begin. I will just set regular alarms in the phone’s clock app.

The concept is great, but works very inconsistently
I love this app for what it theoretically should do. When it works, it takes a lot off of my shoulders as far as reminding my elementary school kids when their next digital learning class begins. The problem is it works very inconsistently. Sometimes it rings, sometimes it doesn’t. This is extremely frustrating.

Hey Moose, Sorry for the inconvenience, there was a bug in a previous version that may be affecting your events. Could you try going to the Bee Ready settings and tap “Reset Notifications”, this should reset all the notifications that may have been saved incorrectly. I’m happy to provide more support, you can email me at Erik@ElliesGames.com or use the feedback button on the settings screen. Sorry again for the bug.
want this to be amazing, but not consistant
i thought i would love this app but we are not getting all notifications so i cant rely on it. I like the ease of use, the ability to customize the days. if i can figure out how to have all the notifications come thru consistantly, id give it 5 stars.

Alarm doesn’t work
I would give it 5 stars but the alarm doesn’t sound on my phone. I just get the banner notification on my phone which isn’t helpful. I found the app is super easy to set up “class times.” This is particularly helpful for my child who has a lot of transitions throughout the day. Please get the alarms to work!

Hey Hannah! Thanks for checking out Bee Ready. Sorry you're not getting sounds like you expect. We'll get it fixed! Is there a chance your device is muted, or in "Do Not Disturb" mode? Another possibility, is this device connected to an Apple Watch? We've found out an Apple watch will swallow the alarm and not play on the device. Please make sure you have the latest version of Bee Ready (1.0.5) and check the Settings screen for some extra help. You can contact me directly for more support too: Erik@ElliesGames.com
Awesome App!
Works great!
Would be great and five stars if the bells actually went off...
The bells have not yet worked. Sound is on... I bought full version, so my kids could use for bell schedule. Not helping at all.
Yay! My kids won’t get expelled now!
I have a seriously hard time tracking my teenager in one room, my elementary schooler in the other WHILE ALSO running a company from my bedroom office particularly with the kids’ inclination to make a snack 5 seconds before their next class and then leave it downstairs for the dog to eat while they scramble upstairs, late again for their next class. Bee Ready is SUPER CUTE, my younger son especially loves the sounds and ACTUALLY GETS ONLINE now. Thank you thank you!!!!

The sounds don’t work
Please help me...none of the alerts are working...not sure what’s wrong. Please help
Better reminders
You don’t you have to use this just for kids or school!! It’s just a better reminders app than the native iOS app. Simpler, more intuitive, more customizable. I don’t have kids but love this...
Fantastic
Great app that really helps to keep us on track!
It’s perfect!
Super intuitive to setup and operate. This app fills the gaps where your default calendars/reminders fall short. I love being able to keep my classroom reminders separate from everything else going on in our life.
Great help for e-learning
Transitioning to e-learning has been a challenge for so many families. This app is going to help my daughter stay on track. The 5 minute warning reminders are going to be especially helpful. I’m going to tell all of my friends about it - especially the ones with ADD kids who really struggled staying on track last year!
