A well-behaved child, a child that excels at school, and a child that respects others have one thing in common: order in their life. If you're the type of parent that would like to have complete control over your child's schedules and provide them with a fun and easy tool to keep them on track with the routines in their daily life, My Routines has all the features you need: • easy to add routines with their very own pictures taken from your saved pictures, our stock library, or your device's camera • a stock library of 100s of pictures • ability to set a timer for each step in the routine • a voice recorder to allow parents to record special messages of guidance on any routine step • ability to drag and drop routines around to reorder • automatic scrolling to the next routine step after the time is up for the current step • ability to pause, go back, or step forward through routine steps • a lock mode to disable adding or altering of routines by the child • animated hints to help new users get used to the app • a support page to email directly with the developer • iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad / iPad Mini compatible But more importantly, why children need properly set out routines: • adds structure to their life that carries forward to school • teaches them to develop self-discipline • gives them a sense of security • provides them with necessary life skills that will translate into adulthood • eliminates power struggle as you aren't bossing them around. They will learn that these activities are "just what they do" at certain times of the day • help them take charge without having adults give them constant reminders • gives them a plan and something to look forward to • helps them fall asleep more easily at night by getting them on a regular schedule • helps parents maintain consistency in expectations A family with a set of healthy routines runs much more smoothly and has more fun. My Routines would be honored to be a part of that process.
It’s just ok
I wish I could have set an alarm or time to start each task. I love the pictures as it makes it easy for my child to understand.
So much potential!
This is the best app of all that I’ve tried - just wish there were a few more features - getting a Star when the routine is complete for example, or an overall timer to show how long you’ve taken so far.
Great idea
I am excited about the idea for this app. It could be really helpful for my family! Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to edit routines without the app crashing and deleting all the routines I’ve already entered. It happens every time, so the app is unusable. Please fix this bug! (iPhone 8, if that’s helpful)
Yes!
I was looking for a chore list - a routine of things that needed to be done. I didn’t want him to think each task he did he got paid. After going through 25 apps I am happy with this one. App is easy to use.
Nice
Nice wish it had more icons to pick
Ineffective app
Cute pictures but that is it. You get 10 beeps to switch tasks, but the microphone that you can record what task your only works if u push a button on every task. I wish it auto played recordings as child gets ready for day. Ineffective app.
Exactly what I was looking for, works well
I was hesitant to buy this because of bad reviews, but did anyways because it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. I found it easy to use, and it works well on my iPhone 6 with no crashes or problems. I don't understand why it has negative reviews. Tap the hints to get rid of them, tap the pencil to edit a step, tap + to add a step, tap the i to change settings. Easy.
