User reviews

Great customer service!

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist trying out this app for clients with cognitive challenges. The app initially needed some improvements. I wrote the developer and they quickly responded and made the requested changes. Great customer service! My future hope is that the next item on the visual schedule will pop up and speak the recorded message automatically rather than just sounding an alarm. It’s difficult for my clients to remember what to do when they only hear an alarm. Promising app!

Impossible de s’enregistrer et aussi impossible de changer les taches et les heures, signification d’un bug

Great potential. Lots of glitches

I am a Speech- Language Pathologist and this app has great potential if it did what it said it did. There are a lot of glitches so far. It won’t let me set a reoccurring event. It doesn’t sound an alarm or pop up when an event is scheduled. When I tried to make a sequence, it freezes the device. I’m hoping in time that this app does what it’s advertised to do.
