## Review summary

Overall, Visual Schedule Planner is praised for its goal of providing a visual schedule and the option to use personal pictures, which can help autistic users and students. Some users also report easy initial setup and responsive customer support. However, the majority of reviews cite serious reliability and usability problems: timer issues, frequent crashes, data loss, and a cumbersome workflow to build daily schedules; poor cross-device syncing and backup; and concerns about value for money. The app is strong in concept but needs robust fixes and clearer guidance to unlock its potential.

- Ability to use own pictures for activities and schedules.
- Integrated timer feature is valued by some users.
- Some users find it easy to create activities and schedules.
- Customer support is responsive for at least some users.

### Cons

- Cumbersome and time-consuming to set up or plan schedules.
- Frequent crashes, freezes, and data loss across devices.
- Poor cross-device syncing and backup options (iCloud transfer issues).
- High price with many users feeling it does not deliver value.
