 Visual Planner is perfect for home, school, work or community environment. The app is designed for individuals who may benefit from visual support to ease transitions, anxiety, or who simply need a way to visually represent their day.  
FEATURES INCLUDE:
-Ability to view events daily, weekly or via a monthly calendar.
-Custom images
-Custom sound
-Activity schedules

Visual Schedule Planner was designed with a completely customizable easy-to-use interface, with multiple custom features.
Overview of Features:

“Events” of the day and “Activity Schedules” can be customized with images from the photo album on the iPad, by one of the apps 1500+ icons, images taken from the built in camera (iPad2 only) or from the apps internet image search.
--CUSTOM SOUND
”Events” also allow an audio clip to be added to the images by voice recording or Text-to-speech.*Using Flite Open Ears.
--VIDEO MODELING and ACTIVITY SCHEDULES
Events in a schedule can also be linked to a VIDEO CLIP or an ACTIVITY SCHEDULE to help model an “EVENT.  For example, the event @12pm ”LUNCH” can be linked to an ACTIVITY SCHEDULE that shows a task analysis on “How to make a sandwich” or could be linked to a VIDEO CLIP of a person modeling “How to make a sandwich”.
--CHECKLIST and TIMER feature for Activity schedules.
Activity schedules have the option of having a “checklist feature” and/or  a visual “timer” to help keep the individual on task.  Both these features can be turned on or off via the settings menu.

### 1/5 — Not able to use the app

*2022-04-15*

After paid and downloaded the app. We tried to create 1 schedule but not able to check it off. So disappointed.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2022-04-11*

One of my favorite features was the timer and it doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — Not a great visual time table for use for school

*2021-09-02*

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

### 4/5 — Pretty good but

*2020-07-25*

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

### 3/5 — Cannot start the app on our new 6th generation app.

### 1/5 — Very complicated to use

*2019-06-30, version 2.8.6*

I did bought this app for planning a schedule for my daughter,she is autistic and at school they use schedule planners for her,this app is very frustrating because I have spend two days already trying to set a schedule for a road trip for July 4 and I can’t even add pictures for that day,it only allows me to create an event name with the picture,is very frustrating and I am really disappointed of this app,is 14.99 and doesn’t help me at all!consider this before buying this app.

### 4/5 — A useable visual planner

*2019-01-08*

I am an adult with multiple disabilities including classic autism and my old visual planner app has not been updated yet for iOS 12 so it crashes a lot,and I’ve been reliant on my old lo fi PECS schedule.
Well what can I say about this app? I read the reviews and noticed they all were negative,which made me feel I shouldn’t pay out for this,but I checked the updates section which shows it’s been recieivimg quite regular updates to make the app better and that for me was enough to risk buying the app.

The pros to this planner is it’s easy to use and it didn’t take me to long to get used to working it.
I had no errors (I’m using a 2018 iPad,with iOS 12).
The only downside I have found so far is that there are no way near enough images to cope with my routine,and adding my own images is annoying but works great, however even if you use a .png image which is transparent it doesn’t appear as transparent,I don’t understand why this is. 

I do recommend the app over my previous app which had even less images in its icon library, but I think to get better developers really need a better library.

### 4/5 — Cannot sync between devices

*2018-11-20*

This is a great app for individuals using visual schedules however the backup feature does not work. I’ve tried all the suggestions by the developers but I still cannot transfer the schedule from my son’s iPad to his phone (and it is running on the same operating system). If developers could figure out how to correct this, it’s definitely a 5 star app worth the money.

### 1/5 — Complicated to use

*2018-06-19*

Bought this for my 15yo autistic son to help give him a daily visual reminder of what needs to be done. This is so complicated to use that I’m sorry that I spent $12 on this...
