The concept of the app is great, but the pictures aren’t in order or in sequence and the videos don’t play. ### 2/5 — Great concept but videos don’t load and pictures are out of order *2021-06-23* Love love love the concept of this app but I have not been able to get a single video to load. I also noticed that some of the pictures are out of order and when having to find the missing picture it counts the wrong answer as correct and the right answer as wrong. I would love to use this in my classroom if the bugs are fixed. ### 1/5 — Great idea if it worked *2020-05-22* Videos do not consistently run. Some picture sequences are out of order and they can’t be fixed (ex. Getting in the shower is in the middle of the showering directions). Would be nice to see this updated and fixed. Use of older individuals instead of little children is nice to see. ### 3/5 — Videos no longer work *2020-03-04* App was working perfectly and was great for my special needs children that need assistance with learning how to independently care for their own bodies. For some reason, the videos are no longer playing and I hope an update comes soon to fix this issue. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2019-09-16, version 1.1* My students love this app! One student learned how to wash their hands through prompting and using this app. Highly recommend ### 1/5 — Errors in sequencing function *2019-08-23* Would someone be able to please fix this error? I was really looking forward to using this app with kids on my caseload, but the function that has you sequence the steps is not working. Instead, it accepts a sequence that is out of order. I hope this gets resolved soon so I can use it! ### 1/5 — Serious problem *2018-10-02* Hi developers, I’ve got no other way of contacting you since the ‘contact’ link within your app only functions via the email app which I don’t want to set up on this iPad. Lengthy searching for any of your contact details doesn’t show up any results in English, either. The steps in the activity guides are all out of numerical sequence, with no way of rearranging them. Drag and drop only reorders the pictures, while the numbers automatically arrange themselves back into the incorrect order. So the basic function of the app is useless at this point. Looks easy enough to fix though? PLEASE DO. ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-02-19* The app have I have been looking for. Perfect for my adult clients learning to care for their bodies independently. They can follow along with the pictures or listen to the video. ### 5/5 — All wonderful apps! *2017-09-03, version 1.1* Enjoying and truly love using them! ### 1/5 — No sound on apps *2017-06-19* I love this and the other iDo apps but mine have lost the sound. I'd give it a six if they had sound. Please fix. I'm using an iPad Air. Please fix. ## Frequently asked questions about iDo Hygiene ### What is iDo Hygiene? iDo Hygiene is an educational application designed to teach essential daily life skills and personal hygiene activities.
