User reviews

Bad app be careful

After downloading and paying an alert says the developer needs to update and it will not work on current iPad. Also there are only 5 pictures to choose from when adding a picture next to a routine. So sad as I was really looking forward to this app. But if the software isn't even up to date to run I feel they should have to disclose that or refund my money

This app would get a 0 star if I could do it

The app doesn't work and adding or deleting is not an option to a created "schedule". The idea is good but the execution is lousy. I also got a notice when I opened it that said it would slow down my phone because it needs to be updated from the developer. Would have been nice to see that BEFORE I purchased it. How do you get your money back??

DO DONT DO IT

So why after 5 dollars do I see there is only 5 morning photos....this is a rip off!!!!

No App Crashes, Great App

Full Disclosure; I am involved in the development of this app.
The audio bug has been fixed, and is a good app for visual routines at this price.

Constantly crashing

What I do like about this app is the ability to add in pictures and change around the order of the tasks. However, this task can be daunting if you use this app frequently or If the schedule changes. It constantly crashes when I'm trying to modify the schedule, so Im forced to save each little change then go back in and make the next modification. I really like using this app but may be forced to look for other options if this is not changed soon as it is too time consuming with all the crashes.
