## What is First Then Visual Schedule HD?

The visual supports you can create and use with First Then Visual Schedule (FTVS) HD have proven to be especially beneficial for the following populations:

Typically developing children
Those learning English as a second language
People with developmental disabilities like Autism and Down Syndrome
Individuals with learning disabilities like dyslexia
People affected by anxiety or attention deficits
Anyone with language, hearing or auditory processing deficits
Individuals affected by aphasia after a stroke
And many more...

So, as a parent, teacher, therapist or adult who could benefit from visual supports you want to try them but may be frustrated by how many different apps you seem to need in order to do so? 

FTVS HD lets you easily and quickly create and use ALL these visual supports in just one app:

First Then boards
Visual schedules
Task analyses
Social stories
Choice boards
Video models

FTVS HD is designed to be used anywhere and everywhere with everything you need easily accessible from within the app:

It's universal so it will work on any iDevice

FTVS HD gives you FIVE different options for adding images: take a picture using your device's camera or grab one from the camera roll, use the Internet search feature to look for an image, use one of the stock images in the app or access one of 10,000 Smarty Ears symbols. All the stock images and Smarty Ears symbols are searchable by name.

Set a timer for either an entire schedule or for individual steps within it.

Attach a choice board or video to any step.

There are FIVE different viewing options: Look at one single image at a time (great for the visually impaired), view two images in a First Then board format, scroll through a checklist, drag and drop an image to another column once a step is complete or drag and drop an image from a strip and put it in an envelope.

FTVS HD makes it easy to create, customize and share schedules.

You can copy the templates that come with the app or create your own from scratch.

Easily edit, move, delete or hide steps within schedules.

You can print your schedules and share them with other users via email. Due to size constraints you can currently only email one choice board and cannot email videos.

Good Karma Applications are dedicated to providing apps that are powerful, easy to use and affordable. If you have any feedback or questions in relation to any of our apps, please contact us at support@goodkarmaapplications.com

### 5/5 — My favorite app

*2025-05-31*

It's a to-do app intended largely for children and mentally disabled, but as an adult, for daily repeated to-do lists, this app really helps me to stay on top of my daily routine. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review.  We can’t express enough how much comments like yours mean to us.  You remind us why we continue to do what we do.  Thank you!!!

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPad

*2025-01-24, version 2.31*

I paid 14.99 app that doesn’t work, the pictures mean nothing. I will be returning this. I wanted to warn others not to buy it.

### 2/5 — Disappointing functionality for paid app

*2024-09-02*

The idea and structure work, but the ease of use, interface, and options are lackluster for the price paid.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2024-08-16*

This app is really basic and not worth any money.

### 1/5 — What a waste of money

*2023-10-21, version 2.31*

So disappointed with this app. Functionality is buggy and I can’t create anything in it. I can go thru the examples but sadly that’s it. For such an expensive autism app, this is a waste of $$$

### 1/5 — Did I just get swindled? Waste of money.

*2022-11-30*

This app was expensive, and I can’t find anywhere to create nor edit schedules like it’s meant to. There are no instructions. There are just a couple of basic pre-made routines and otherwise no way to create custom schedules. I want my money back. I had higher expectations based on the summary.

**Developer response:** Hi.  Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.  When you first open the app you are in "USER mode.' This is where you can use the schedules, but can't edit. To edit, create or delete new schedules, simply tap the grey gear icon in the corner screen of the app to open the SETTINGS MENU.  Then slide toggle button that says "EDIT MODE" to green.  You now can edit and create schedules.  When you are finished, simply slide that same button back (will go to grey) and you can use the app for visual schedules.  Having two different modes for editing and using that are activated by a "hidden button" , helps accidental deletion by our users.  There are more detailed instructions on how to use our many features on our website at www.goodkarmaapps.com or you can reach out to us at support@goodkarmaapps.com and we would be happy to walk you through any issues you maybe having.  Thanks.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2022-06-23*

The idea was great, there are screen shots of the being able to edit and create my own schedules.

But there aren’t any options to edit or create.

I definitely would not recommend this, it’s a waste of money and I could have created this on my own.

Don’t buy!

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. To Edit and create schedules you need to be in "EDIT mode,"  when you first open the app you are in "USER mode."  USER mode is where you can use the schedules, but can't edit. To edit, create or delete new schedules, simply tap the GREY GEAR icon in the corner screen of the app to open the settings menu. Then slide toggle button that says "EDIT MODE" to green. You now can edit and create schedules. When you are finished, simply slide that same button back (will go to grey) and you can use the app for visual schedules. Having two different modes for editing and using that are activated by a "hidden button" , helps accidental deletion by our users.

### 1/5 — Wasted $14.99!!!

*2020-12-31, version 2.27*

I just spent $14.99 on this app and I don’t even know how to use it. There’s no explanation. Very poor quality. I’m very upset!! Want $$ back..

### 5/5 — Great for repeated daily activities

*2020-05-11, version 2.27*

Thank you! I have been using this very simple app for several months now to help me keep on course with doing repeated daily things. It helps me so much every day to focus and be less distracted when doing basic daily activities. As well it helps me recognize some of the patterns in my life and how to perhaps improve. Thank you so much for this fabulous yet simple app. I am so happy with it every day. It's so helpful to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

### 3/5 — Great app don’t like the changes in the Nd version

*2020-05-06*

I had the oriofonal first then and it was amazing I could swipe sidways and I had larger images I really dislike that I can’t have those anymore, I really hope they bring those back not having those is a major down side to this purchase and it’s going to be hard to adapt to this version but the original just isn’t around anymore .
