Ready to leave the house in 5 minutes
Getting dressed
Getting ready for a meal

User Reviews

Users praise Lickety Split for motivating kids (notably with ADHD) and making routines fun with visuals, music, and rewards. It works across tasks like bedtime, brushing, and cleaning, and can reduce parental effort. Common concerns include paywalls restricting customization, occasional crashes and freezes, and UX/design quirks such as mandatory intros and limited per-timer customization. Overall, it’s valued as a long‑term, versatile parenting aid when the needed customization is available.

Pros

Highly motivating for kids, especially those with ADHD; kids love it and it helps them focus.
Engaging visual rewards and music (visual timer, 'I did it' button, rewards) that boost participation.
Versatile across many routines (bedtime, brushing teeth, getting dressed, cleaning) and suitable for family use.
Reduces parent battles and speeds up routines, making chores or tasks feel doable.
Long-term reliability and continued use over years, with families incorporating it into daily life.

Cons

Paywall limits customization; upgrading is required to set custom timer durations or use certain features.
Technical glitches and instability (crashes when selecting a song; timer can freeze after finishing).
UX limitations (forced introduction each time; no quick way to quit; difficulty bypassing intro; lack of per-timer customization or chaining multiple events).
Customization gaps (no per-timer durations, no easy multi-step or chained events; users want more granular control).

The kids love it! My littlest one has adhd and this keeps her focused. I don't know what I'd do without it.

Bought this when the kids were little to motivate them. Worked great!!! The kids are now 9 & 14 I’m 56. We all participate and make it fun for the entire family. Must have for kids. Highly recommend it. There is some kind of Nuro Assocation that the kids have with it that even if they don’t feel like putting their PJs on they do it anyway. Whatever the tasks it’s brilliant!!!
