Lost all schedules

This app was used frequently by my son with autism but one day it just quit
Apparently the developer has to update it
We then bought the new version for over $20 thinking we could try to transfer the files from the old app to the new but couldn’t
This was a huge loss to our son and a great cost to us!
Don’t bother!

IPad failure

I have a bought version that works on old iPad but does not work on my new iPad. They want me to pay again for the HD version. Not recommended.

Great app!

I just bought this app and already I simply love it! I'm an autism teacher and can make schedules on other software, but this app makes it so easy and quick to do. It interfaces with you photos and with Google images and allows you to record. Plus you can send a pdf file! I will use this both for my son and for my classroom!

GREAT App For Everyday Use!

I purchased this app to have a portable, multifunctional "First Then" tool for my 5 year old, who is impacted by Autism. This app met and exceeded my expectations, and the addition of the visual schedule makes difficult transitions in public settings far easier to endure. We've been able to ditch the cumbersome PECS now, and my little guy enjoys using the iPod to navigate through his daily activities. This app is almost unbelievably affordable too for the functionality and versatility it brings to the user (VERY user friendly!). The developer has answered my questions personally through email (I tend to be a little technically challenged, ha!) and is incredibly friendly when replying to my questions. Thank you, Good Karma, for yet another amazing app (I purchased My Choices previously with incredible success). I have found your apps to be so in tune with exactly what my child needs....can't wait to see what comes next!
