Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

So far this app is just "meh." The website showed a pic of a breakdown of steps to complete a task such as take cap off toothpaste, start water, etc., but in the app there is actually no way of adding steps to complete a task. So you end up having to create really long task names to list the steps. Also some tasks in a routine show the days of the week in after you add them and others don't despite the fact that the settings are all use for every day this routine is used. And I've barely started
