The best app ever !
I was looking for a free app to help parents collect data and found Behavior Trackr! The best feature is its privacy settings—I can control the visibility of each data set and use it with more than one child. I just wish this app were available for Android too. Thank you! It’s everything a BCBA needs ❤️

Thanks for the rating and review! FYI the Behavior Trackr app is now also available for Android on the Google Play Store.
Behavior Tracking
I am a behavior clinician and need to track behaviors while in the community with clients and this app makes it easy to quickly track! I also like how I can convert it into excel for easy transfer.

Thanks for the review!
Needs some improvements
The green: This has made it easier to log the behavior ABCs closer to the incident, and I am able to log full narrative rather than having space only for bullet points.
The Red: It was complicated to set up initially. I couldn’t do anything without verifying my email but the email never came. I had to go into setting and ask to verify manually. Even then I wasn’t able to do anything without a premium account. I was about to give up but again went to the settings and toggled the premium to true. No subscription required(yet). This would have been easy enough. But there was no info anywhere about it needing to be done. It was my own tech background that got me exploring and fixed the problem.
The update: It would be nice to log multiple behaviors under one incident. For example I might be counting times an individual was hitting, but if they escalate to destruction of property I have to log that as a separate incident or not at all which ultimately confuses the data.
Same with the charts, when showing behaviors on the bar graph, it would be so much more clear if the behaviors were separate and separate colors. Now it just seems to combine them for a total number.
Finally I would like to see an export feature, because while this works great for a behavior team, there are times I need to show other professionals the charts, and it seems the only way to do that now is to just show them my phone or take a screen shot.
Overall, I’ll keep using this app in the near future, but would make better use of it with a few changes.

Great feedback, thank you! FYI we've tried to address the usability concerns you flagged, have added the ability to tag 'secondary behavior types' on events, and have add the ability to export data to a CSV.
Thank you for making this app!
I asked my partner to make an app for me and he has delivered!
I have been a special education teacher for over 20 years. I teach an Autism Focused classroom and I am always searching for ways that I can quickly take data.
He listened to all my needs:
1. It is easy to fill out without having to stop instruction or supervision of students.
2. I can share it with my para educators so they can also take data on the student behaviors I designate for them.
3. The data can be analyzed - either by frequency across designated days or as a scatterplot chart across designated days.
I am using it and it has helped me figure out behavior trends as well as report on behavior goals at progress report time. Try it out- he wanted a tool out there to make it a bit easier for special education teachers to do their jobs. Thanks Ben!
