User Reviews

Users praise ASD Tools for its visual schedules, ease of use, customizable picture library, versatility, and portability. However, recurring concerns center on a new subscription paywall after upfront ownership and post-update reliability problems (crashes, loading issues, and broken features like adding pictures), which many users feel undermine the app’s value for families and professionals.
Pros
  • Visual schedule is highly helpful for transitions and routines.
  • Easy to use and well-designed user interface.
  • Large library of pictures with the ability to add your own pictures for customization.
  • Versatility: four apps in one, covering visual schedules, anxiety management, transitions, and skill-building.
  • Portability: can carry the visual schedule on a tablet or phone for on-the-go use.
Cons
  • Subscription/paywall after upfront purchase leading to ongoing costs for users who bought the app previously.
  • Post-update reliability issues: app crashes, won't load, or fails to save after updates.
  • Image insertion feature frequently fails (inability to add/import pictures) after updates.

I am frustrated with the new update on the ASD tools as I have already purchased the app and now it's requiring either a monthly or yearly subscription. As a professional occupational therapist using this for kids, this was a beneficial tool for transitional skills as well as a nice tool to be able to provide a visual schedule especially with children diagnosed with autism. I've also recommended this app to parents but now unfortunately they are not able to use this app without increased cost due to the monthly or yearly subscription. Many of my families can't simply afford or justify this cost increase. As of now, I will not be purchasing this app as I have already purchased it and I will not recommend it to fur parents that I work with. Please take this into consideration when you erase customers already purchased apps as well as the financial burden that you place on families that are trying to help their children.

This is the first app of its kind that I have tried and I have to say I really like it. It’s thoughtful and fun to use. I’ve been using it for the last couple of months and find the visual schedule really helpful. There are a few things that could be better, for example I don’t always know what the menu icons mean. Also, since I’m new to the app some of the terminology is unfamiliar to me and it would be helpful to know in context why certain tools are beneficial. Overall giving this a five star because there’s a lot of potential here and it’s already helping me.

This app is easy to use. It comes with a library of pics and let's you add pictures from your photo library. It is very easy to set up. It has first and then or Steps that you can put as many steps as you'd like.
