Ratings and reviews

Device really has a super short battery. It is supposed to be used all day by the ASD kids, but when it only lasts 1-2 hours before dying or needing plugged in, it's very inconvenient and bothersome. Doesn't interface well with the parents' app. Most of the time my parents' app does not show what task or routine he is currently working on. I have to go and physically look at his device. Yes, I have made sure both devices are updated properly.

The Goally has changed how routines work in our house and gives my son incentives to actually complete them. It has also lessened tantrums because set routines really help him. I would recommend that the times can be adjusted a little bit on a daily basis, just in case our routine for that day changes and the child misses their alotted time. This has led to some meltdowns. But overall, definitely worth it, especially during the school year.

The concept is phenominal, but unfortunately, the delivery falls short. The app is useless the majority of the time and I find myself running to my computer to start routines or address behaviors, etc. So what happens is my kids aren't witnessing rewards and consequences in real time because my computer isn't always accessible. It might work better if you only had 1 child, but I have 3 and I don't see it being sustainable in my household without some major improvements.
