I love this app. It has really helped me and my son who has ADHD and learning disabilities. It is a God Send for him and keeping him focused and on task. I love that it talks to you with verbal prompts....which get annoying if you don’t do them quickly. There are a few things I would love to see added in your next update. 1) I would like to be able to move the routines around on the first screen. I like to put them in order of when I do them in the day. This helps my son as well. However, as I have added or tweaked the routines, I can’t slide them up or down. I would have to completely delete the routines before them and rebuild them to change the order. That is frustrating. 2) I would like to be able to pause in the middle of a routine. I am often interrupted by my 5 children while doing a task...or sometimes it takes longer. It would help to pause it. It is very annoying when it keeps talking to me when I am dealing with something important that came up. I would rather un-pause than have to stop and restart from the beginning. Thank you!

For a mom of four who suffers from ADHD, this app has been exponential in creating routines that simplify my life. I am one who gets extremely overwhelmed when trying to create schedules for myself and for my family. I either over schedule or I make them, only to stop using them within a week or two. This app takes care of that by helping me break down my daily tasks into routines, even letting me break down the amount time each one will take. It then forms a “routine” so I know, from start to finish, how long it will take for me to get ready for the day. 5 stars!!!!

This gem has helped me ENORMOUSLY with both my ADD and those days when I’m feeling blue & unmotivated. Marv (the robot) has helped me remember everything in the mornings, nagged me into packing lunches during dinner prep, & reminded me to put wet clothes in the dryer. Marv also ‘does the math’ so I know how long a routine will take. As I work, I can see the end-time of the routine changing (what time I’ll get to work). SO HAPPY that the app allows music or audiobooks to play at the same time the routine timers are ticking. I don’t want to get all dramatic about it... but Marv has improved my life.
