## What is Choiceworks?

Choiceworks is a visual support app that helps make the day easier to understand. It is designed for children, teens, adults, and families who benefit from visual structure, clear routines, and support with transitions, waiting, choices, and feelings.

Families, caregivers, educators, and therapists can create customized visual boards using pictures, text, video, and recorded audio. Boards can be used at home, in therapy, during appointments, while traveling, or anywhere a visual plan helps.

Choiceworks includes four board types:

• Schedule boards show what is happening now and what comes next
• Waiting boards make waiting more concrete with a visual timer and activity choices
• Feelings boards support communication about emotions, choices, and next steps
• Feelings Scale boards help show how big a feeling is and what can help at each level

Features include:

• Visual schedule, waiting, feelings, and Feelings Scale boards
• Visual timers for schedules and waiting
• Custom pictures, video, text, and recorded audio
• Multiple profiles
• Import and export of Choiceworks board files
• Send a copy of a board by AirDrop, Files, or email
• Optional iCloud Sync & Backup across your own devices signed into the same Apple ID
• App menus, included board labels, included card text, and spoken card words in English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, French, and Portuguese
• VoiceOver support

Choiceworks has no ads, no tracking, and no accounts to create. Your boards, photos, videos, and recordings stay on your device and in your own iCloud.

One purchase includes everything. No subscriptions.

### 4/5 — Great app but could use some improvements

*2026-07-22*

I love this app. We use it all the time with my daughter and it helps her so much with transitions. I would love it if there was a better photo library or ability to access google images/web.

### 5/5 — Former ESE (special education) teacher approved

*2025-01-07*

My daughter is a level one autistic with adhd and severe dyslexia. 

This application is so customizable, you can attach audio, pictures and video to the schedule. There’s also “if…. Then….”, wait timers with choices, emotional regulation charts with choices and social stories. 

I cannot speak highly enough of this application that gives my child the ability to regulate and be independent.

### 3/5 — Good App with bug in customisation

*2025-01-05*

We are return users of the app, however I notice that there is a new bug and we are unable to create our own images/ icons as it keeps asking us to add a caption to the photo/ picture even when one has already been added.

### 3/5 — Landscape mode?

*2024-12-22*

Still trying to understand how to properly set this app up for my son. I want to install this on a wall mounted tablet and everything else that we use is setup for landscape mode. Does this app not allow that configuration?

### 3/5 — Choiceworks

*2024-11-03*

I lov it but I think you should just improve your reading comprehension

### 5/5 — Choiceworks

*2024-10-28*

Choiceworks is amazing for my students that I work with. It is so easy to use.

### 1/5 — Drains Battery

*2024-10-26*

There is no way to allow the app to go into autolock within the apps settings. Right now if we have Choiceworks open, our device does not go into sleep mode, which is draining our battery pretty significantly. I spoke with Apple and there isn't anything we can do on our side the app setting overrides the general iPad settings. When I reached out to the developer regarding this setting they believe it is a visual schedule and should always be in view for the user and would only look into addressing it if they received volumes of concern. 

When utilizing digital supports battery life should always be considered. These are a lot of individuals lifeline. If they removed this override setting from the app, individual users could adjust and choose their own setting for auto lock features, like TouchChat and other digitalsupports allow. Its upsetting that Choiceworks does not see this as an issue to be addressed in their app. Unfortunately, I cannot utilize this app and all its great qualities because it will drain the device that usually holds a charge for days within hours.

**Developer response:** Hello, Family of Five. I am the developer of Choiceworks. You have never contacted me, so I’m unclear about this review. Our app is certainly not a one-star app. We have been highly dedicated to its evolution for over 20 years.
Regarding draining the iPad battery, in the last 10 years, we’ve received three users identifying this as an issue, including your review on the App Store.  I’m unclear why, if you’re using a visual schedule, you would not want the visual schedule visible to the user at all times since that is best practice, not just belief. However, you can swipe out of the app when you don’t want it visible to the user. If you are using a timer, the timer will still work effectively this way. 

I have to charge my iPad at least 4 times daily, and I don’t run Choiceworks on it. I wish you had contacted us directly because I don’t even know who I’m speaking to, and it’s unfortunate that you felt the need to leave this negative one-star review. We are a very approachable, small family business. I hope you find what you are searching for.  Michele Walker, MS

### 5/5 — Great for visual schedule

*2024-10-13*

I’ve been a practicing SLP for 24 years. During Covid saw this app being used on some tele therapy training. I’ve used it ever since on all sessions. All my clients benefit from this and it helps this therapist stay on track as well. Highly recommend especially working with pediatric clients.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2024-06-25, version 12.2*

I love this

### 1/5 — Library won’t load, can’t use app

*2024-05-16*

Really want to use the app, however library won’t load and app can’t open without it. Have made several attempts to download app. Email address for support doesn’t work either. Would love to try app if anyone can help please.
