I think it really helps my child. Focus and kind of uses the phone as a way of getting things done but also likes the little music in between. my only problem is it recently as an iPhone user it won’t work on my phone it keeps knocking out or ending abruptly and can’t get it to work. I’ve contacted the right people and nothing has happened at all so sadly, I won’t be able to use this app anymore. Be weary if you have an iPhone. ### 4/5 — How to add more kids? *2025-12-01, version 2.3.9* Don’t know how to use the app for more than 1 kid. Tried to find the options of adding more kids but fail. ### 2/5 — 🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯🫨🫨 *2025-09-20, version 2.3.9* I hate it why would you have to pay six dollars to pause? I hate it so much especially because we literally can’t choose our own time like for brushing our teeth if you need more time ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2025-09-13, version 2.3.9* You should buy this it has no adds!! It makes me feel so happy 🙂🙂 and I love it so much too.😍😍😍I thought it was so amazing it times you’re self and you are going to be so happy 😁 when you get this app!!!! ### 5/5 — My kids enjoy during school time *2025-09-03, version 2.3.9* I have the free version and it is quite complete. You can’t change the order but you can skip anything that is already done except brushing teeth for at least 1 minute. It’s especially helpful during the school week for my 7 and 5 year olds and the little one does it too since his siblings are doing it. It creates a hype. Thank you for this app! 😊 ### 2/5 — Started out great *2025-09-01, version 2.3.9* We loved using this app. It was really helping my son to stay on task. Then it started to crash. Hasn’t worked in over a week. Emailed my issues and have yet to hear back. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2025-08-19, version 2.3.9* I lOVE this timer, and it worked great when my kids first started using it, but it has started to freeze, randomly shut off, or just glitch all together, for example sometimes the words just become gibberish nonsensical words. I want to keep using this but the bugs need fixing. ### 2/5 — BUG *2025-08-06, version 2.3.9* Interessant comme application mais ça bug très souvent donc pas accès aux étoiles et mon enfant fait des crises parce qu’il n’a pas ça récompense d’étoiles ### 5/5 — Evie *2025-07-31, version 2.3.9* Even though I’m eight, this is still a good children’s app. I used it almost every day and I cover there’s a timer so I can wait. ### 3/5 — Plante au démarrage *2025-07-24, version 2.3.9* Plante au démarrage, on doit faire au moins 3 essais avant que ça réussisse, chaque jour ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-07-20, version 2.3.9* Very good for children Focus on task for a good time ### 5/5 — Morning and evening *2025-07-17, version 2.3.9* This is the best routine for me to get ready and have really fun too so the Evening Routine is fun and I get to go to bed early with it. Thank you. Whoever made this app is cool. I am so thankful🙏. ### 5/5 — <3 *2025-07-15, version 2.3.9* I love it ### 2/5 — Do not sync to kids device *2025-07-09, version 2.3.9* I originally downloaded the app on my phone and spend time customizing it. I paid for the full access. When I opened the app on my kids iPad I expected to be able to sync the account so they could see the chores but the app didn’t allow to do that. I tried to contact customer service and it said I couldn’t because there was no email on the account, but the app doesn’t give you any options to add an email. Scam! ### 2/5 — Purchase doesn’t work in kids IPad *2025-07-09, version 2.3.9* I purchased the paid version and set all my customizations on my phone when I downloaded the app on my kids IPad there was no way to sync my purchase to their devise so I had to do everything all over again and is asking me to pay again. I tried to email customer service and it didn’t let me saying I didn’t have an email on the account, but the app doesn’t let you add any email info! Also, there is no way to add more activities other the the 12 offered by default. Not worth it! ### 5/5 — Simple and Perfect *2025-07-07, version 2.3.9* Simple and perfect ### 5/5 — Ai *2025-06-15, version 2.3.9* Best kids game ever.

It crashes every time I try to open it. There is no update. I have to reboot my phone any time I want to use it and then maaaybe it will work. So sad. Really love this app. I have contacted the developer but no response. Don’t want to lose my data, but I have to shop for another app timer. ### 1/5 — Paid for the app then it stopped working *2022-10-21, version 2.3.7* I paid for the app and then it stopped working. Took it off of my phone and reloaded it only to have it prompt me to pay for the app all over and start all over again loading my child’s personal routines into the app. Disappointing. Update: The app developer contact me and told me to reset the app. I did and had to reload all of my daughter’s chores into the app and months later the app is glitching again. Turning off in the middle of the routine. ### 1/5 — 1 étoiles *2021-04-12, version 2.3.2* On ne peut rien faire sauf si on paye 5$.
