Brain Works App Reviews

I love that it is now an app. Can you add the activities without the arrows (ie chores, school, bed, shower, etc). I would love to be able to set it up for my daughter so that she knows what activity needs to be done next. She could check it off after it is done and use timer as a motivator.

Easy to use, perfect for my childs sensory breaks!!!

I LOVE that this app is portable and that we can access sensory diet activities even while on the go. Highly recommend!

Seems like an awesome app...bought it today. However it crashes every time I put in a new user & will not let me put a picture in. Also it would be very helpful to have verbal &/or written instructions for the kid to hear/see when doing the app.

Im glad to see an app for the sensory diet. I like that it can be customized by adding your own diet needs to the program. I do wish though that we could also edit "How do you feel?" so that each individual might better understand. Example Fast and Stressed may not be the best descripton for some when they are upset they may not understand fast and stressed. The more an app can be customized the better it will enable it to meet the needs of each individual and this app is definetely on the right track. I see this as a good potential for working on self-regulation but see the need for a bit more customization to work for more individuals so they understand. I look forward to seeing more customizations being added in the near future.

This app is amazing! Will be so easy for the kids in my classroom to use!

A must have for a successful sensory diet! As a daily tool, as a quick reference guide, & as an "in case of a sensory emergency"-this is an essential sensory tool! I love this app & cant say enough about it! If you or your child have sensory issues-this will be the best $12 you will ever spend!

Are there any plans to update so we can customize the feelings?... Or has support for this app been abandoned? What a find for me! The only aspect is that it lacks the ability to customize the feelings. With that capability it wouldnt be a 5 -- it would be a TEN.

Great function and icons. Love that I can add my own. But if kids are overwhelmed by too many choices , you have to go through each and every icon to turn them off in every setting. This takes forever. There is a metronome icon, it should be an actual metronome. The kids have it in hand already. There are icons for music. They should contain music options. The biggest pain is turning off the icons to reduce choices. I should be able to open a childs folder, then select on/off.

This app is fantastic. It has a ton of activity ideas and when a child has sensory issues, it gives the child a choice of what they need. Very helpful for when a child is mad, frustrated or low..... They can communicated their needs at the time.

I want to be able to add activities or I want a refund

Spent the money for this app, was excited for my son....but not able to add users or custom activities. There must be another subscription other than the price you pay for the app, want my money back as well!

We have used the app in the past and I reloaded on my new phone because we need help as we just started kindergarten and nothing! You pick a zone and it goes to the timer running - NO ACTIVITIES even after checking settings to make sure they are set. What do I do now? Help was no help! And online technical support says try again latter. I paid $8.99 for this app originally I think - one of the only apps I have ever paid for because my OT recommended it. So disappointed.

Im not sure if it was with the most recent app update or the ios9 update but you now need to go into settings -> activities and choose each activity. Prior to the ios9 update, all activities showed up. 12/5/15 I just dropped rating down. I was hoping it was going to get fixed but it still is not working. Even though activities are set up to show up under the various categories, they dont! I also paid for this app and want a functional app back.

I bought this to use with my son after seeing it at a continuing ed class I took from an OT. I didn’t feel there was much variety in the activities. I was hoping to set it up for him to use in his classroom, but a lot of the activities require special equipment and aren’t practical. There are a handful he could use, but might as well have a piece of paper at his desk with those 5 listed.
