Love app - but major problems with this update
We use this app every single day and love all the functionality, but the update that occurred 7/6 is causing all times to be out of order, cannot delete event, and freezing/shutting down of regular Choiceworks app
Nice effort
Used this app for some time and it was helpful. Definitely limited in some ways that were inconvenient but this was good enough. Recently the app stopped function as it should. Tasks don't slide over to finished. And then my calendar date says today is almost a month ago. Having lost all our photos and stuff sucked when I reinstalled the app. Made me look closer at your images. Why Christian and Jewish holidays but no Ramadan or Eids?
Oh, well, even after reinstall now the task doesn't do anything besides repeat the sound. So I guess we need to find a new calendar for my daughter. We had big trauma recently and she could really benefit from the calendar working... wish it did. I saw a review from 12 years ago! Incredible run for a small platform like this. Sad to stop using it. Thanks for your help for as long as it lasted

No support
This app is fantastic for our non-verbal son who used it every day…until yesterday when version 7.0 rolled out and the app was crippled by bugs. I’ll happily change this rating to 5 stars when the developer either makes actual support available, or rolls back to v6.2 until the bugs are sorted.
So helpful!
💚 I just set this up for my father who has age-related cognitive impairment. I like how you can use your own pictures and your own voice to make it more “adult”. (It would be nice to have a different App Store icon we could choose to make it more adult, though)
I have used this with my own children and students with Autism as well. A very handy and versatile app.
-You can record your voice and add your own pictures to make calendar entries
-Easy viewing- toggle back and forth from day, week or month views. In the ‘Day’ view you can drag items from the ‘To Do’ to ‘Done’ and a green checkmark will appear over the calendar entry to show it has been completed.
-very audible alarm (my hearing-impaired dad can hear it!)
-make one-time or reoccurring calendar events

Needs bigger day font
We love this app but the month/date font size is so small. We’d love to see more options to change this. Also, adding Andy option to select ‘tomorrow’ in addition to the ‘today’ button would be cool.
Vida independiente
Mi hermana tiene Down, no sabe leer ni escribir, y tampoco sabe gestionar un reloj. Esta herramienta es lo mejor que hemos podido encontrar para poder apoyarle en su vida independiente. Estaría genial un widget que incorpore la tarea que está sucediendo en cada momento para que le sirva de reloj visual. Y ya si fuera en español genial. ¡¡¡¡¡Gracias!!!!!

Choiceworks Calendar
Amazing!
I love this!!! We bought the bundle and it saved our vacation. Roadtripping with 3/4 of us being ND and we all loved something to reference. And it was so simple to add our own pics for things. We could do things like show each specific hotel we’d be staying at next so it was familiar by the time we got there. It cut off so many meltdowns before they got passed the “getting anxious” stage and let the kids enjoy themselves more fully and worry less. It created a kinder and more empathetic introduction to road trips for them and I love that, because they can do anything with the right supports. It’s become an integral part of our infrastructure. And it’s so well thought out!

Has potential
We would like to use this app for our son on his talker, but this app doesn’t support split screen on the iPad. I tried to contact the developer and got no response.
Thank you
I hate paying for apps especially when they usually aren’t great. but every once in a while, you find that app that it is exactly what you needed! I love the simple graphics and the option to print a full size day or week or month. And the option to share the calendar, the option to customize images and captions. I think the thing I like the most is that it’s not complicated! everything you need and nothing you don’t. nobody coerced me to write this review, I just have a child with autism and I am happy to have this tool.

Good for us
So far, I like this. Allows me to design a custom visual calendar for my kid that will also provide voice prompts so he can listen to what is scheduled. I like that it even has a day count down feature so he can select a visual and the app will count down the number of days before that event happens. I would have liked to see a wider selection of icons/visuals or compatibility with other calendars but overall, I think this will be a big help to our family.

Excellent support
This app is a very useful tool to create visual schedules for young children and older children with autism. I have used my own symbols to create a visual daily schedule for my students. I can also mirror my iPad to the Smartboard so the whole class can see the daily plan. I would love to be able to customise the backgrounds so that activities to be done are green and those completed are red, for finished. I would also like to choose my own font. I love that you can move the completed tasks over to finished and they get a tick. Perhaps we could also choose a smiley face? I would certainly recommend this app. The voices need some improvement though.

Needs more recurring options than weekly
I had contacted support a while ago about the inability to select a biweekly option when setting up a recurring appointment. I asked them to recommend that it be added in a future revision. I see it still hasn’t been added. The calendar isn’t useful to me if I have to either create a new appointment every other week or set up a recurring appointment and then have to remove every other one. I saw another reviewer asking for an annual recurring option and I like that idea, too.
I also noticed there’s not an image for therapy/psychologist/counselor. I think there should be.

Can’t add events
I can’t add events it keeps saying there is no caption although one is typed already
Buggy re: recurring events
I love the Choiceworks app - both professinally as an SLP and personally as a parent - and was hoping to love CW Calendar too. But I’m very frustrated to find that every time I turn on the “recurring event” button when adding an event, the app crashes on me. I am using an iPhone 11 running iOS 15.3.1

Almost 5 stars
If only there was an option to create an account to share with the other parent or even with the child’s smart device. I have found myself sharing the pic and creating the same schedule on different devices.
Crashes when you click Repeat Event
The whole app crashes when you click “repeat event”. We can’t use this app and tried reinstalling. Waste of $15.
Reliable, helpful for anxious kids
This app has been my go-to for years. I recommend it to families of kids with special needs and use it with my own kids too. App reviews were recently reset, so they don't reflect how great this tool really is (yet!)
Ausome app
Hello I am an Autistic adult with comorbidities, I am a visual person and find this app very useful. One suggestion though, is the ability to edit/delete the symbols already on the app, not just the ones I add..if this happens I will give 5 stars.
Thank you
Thank you
Best App
Use this for Daughter with special needs every day so has a visual diary
