Not a great visual time table for use for school

It does not have a week day repeat option making it incredibly laborious to enter information.

Difficult to upload appropriate pecs symbols and no basic images to start you off.

Poor value and really not use friendly

Pretty good but

It has been amazing as I have autism and am a visual person. Lately though the writing has turned white and in the settings everything that isn’t white is black. Help please

Cannot start the app on our new 6th generation app.

Would you please make it compatible with iPad 6th generation? When I try to start the app, it won’t start. Thanks!
