## Rankings

## Review summary

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.
