iReward App Reviews

This app is wonderful. I use it for my autistic son. We have used a token board for a while and this replaces that. I dont have a clipboard with velcro all over it and tokens that can be a choking hazard. That is a thing of the past. This is fantastic. It still gives him something tangible when he completes a task and he loves it. When task is complete is says "Great job. You did it!" He loved it . He was all smiles. I work at a school for children affected by autism and the school and the therapist are all impressed as well. They are going to get it for themselves. And if that isnt enough. The customer service was amazing. Very quick response and very helpful. Thanks Jeff!

...or even any feedback when a reward has been earned. Lousy. WHO is giving all these good reviews?

I use this with a child who has high functioning autism, but many parents have seen me use it, and been inspired. I think its a great concrete way to encourage kids with positive discipline - its especially good for preschoolers. My son loves that he can take a photograph of the reward hes going to earn.

I think my students love this app the best because they get to earn stars! I am an SLP who uses iReward to help my students with autism anticipate the end of an activity or to provide incentive to complete a difficult task. It is very easy to customize and sometimes I will even have my students help me customize it.

Hi! Purchased iReward after multiple suggestions from the A4cwsn community members. I cant tell you how much we use this app. The ease of setting up rewards in an instant is something that we desperately needed! Thank you for making an amazing app and supporting A4cwsn!

This is a really nice app for creating reward charts for your children - for chores, for good behavior, doing homework or whatever you wish. It is easy to set up for multiple children. You can use your own photos but I really love using the image search to find great pictures to customise the app. It is really flexible - you get to set the rewards, how many (stars, smiley faces, check marks etc) they need to earn to get the rewards. Each child chart can be different , but if you want to use the same chore/ reward for multiple children its easy to cut and paste too. You can also take away stars etc if you need to too. A well thought out and well executed app.

It is great to have my reward chart with me at all times since it is on my iPhone. My son is more interested in getting to see the cat video than the actual rewards, so Id love to be able to add more videos when he tires of this one. Otherwise, we really like it.

Anyone how has worked in the field of special education has probably seen student earning charts designed to capture student interest. These teacher-created charts sometimes feature stick-on Velcro pictures or whiteboard checklists. While they are highly motivating and effective, traditional earning charts are also stigmatizing. There is no mistaking that the student carrying the chart to class is “different” from the rest of the students. iReward changes all that. Using an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, teachers can setup a variety of different earning charts for one student, or many students. Gone are the days of laminating and cutting out photos to attach to an earning chart. With iReward, educators simply use the internal camera or Google Image search to find an appropriate image. What sets iReward apart from traditional earning charts is the fact that it is not as stigmatizing. Students carrying portable electronic devices look very much like any other student. The small screen of an iPod or iPhone makes it easy to record student progress discretely.

I updated and then panicked because I couldnt unlock my rewards by shaking the iPad the way i could before. Then I discovered that the lock feature (which I find really useful) is still there but you must lock the orientation. So my review is back to 5 stars. This is a great personalized app. I like that you can have an actual photo of the reward.

I love this app for my EBD classroom. I wish it had an option to increase the number of tokens higher then 20. Really easy to use otherwise!! Love it!

Highly disappointed! I cannot edit old info already on there, nor edit pictures and rewards. Cant use it and want money back!

My son is autistic and having a visual goal of what hes trying to achieve is great for him. I noticed another review giving this a low review because they werent able to remove the default information. All you need to do is swipe across the name of the child or the behavior/reward and a delete button will appear. So far, this is working fantastic at getting my son to earn rewards for what he accomplishes. Im going to be integrating this app with his school since he does so well on the reward system. The developer has some great tutorials on their website.

This app continually freezes and crashes. Great concept but doesnt work! Please fix this or offer refunds.
