Wow - has anyone looked at the T&Cs?

It’s listed as a lifestyle app so you don’t have any medical privacy. They don’t “knowingly” track minors’ information, but if you as the parent enter it in, it’s theirs forever?! This is an app for tracking your child’s ADHD and behavior.
If it’s free, you’re the product… or in this case, your child is. I can’t download it for this reason.

Great app!

Having 4 kids makes everything feel impossible sometimes. It’s hard to remember who did what. This app helps me track each of their meltdowns, helps me learn different parenting strategies. & now that my second child is in school, her teachers think she has dyslexia.. the app is helping with that too. Apparently I knew almost nothing about it. It has taught me a lot.
I wish the app was more aesthetically pleasing. The profile icons are a little bland & it doesn’t give you the option to add your own. But it’s not a big deal & doesn’t affect using the app.

Awesome app! 10/10

For only one type of

This app doesn’t adhere to a child with ADHD Inattentive Type. For a child who doesn’t have meltdowns or disciplinary issues.

Like the concept but design is not user friendly at all

I downloaded this app because I liked the concept and thought it could help me with my child who has ADHD. But it’s really difficult to use, there’s way too much text! I ended up skipping through the instructions because it was overwhelming and not user friendly. The app is not interactive at all

Good but needs more

Love the idea and helping me understand behavior and triggers. But I can’t add more than one child? How can I track more than one kids behavior?
