Getting Started

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required. Your data is stored locally on your device, so you can start using the app immediately.

Is there a free trial?

Download the app and start using it: the core features are free from day one, with nothing to sign up for. If a Premium trial is currently available, the app and the store listing will show it to you before you subscribe.

Is there a tutorial?

Features & Functionality

How many activities come preloaded?

Over 50 activities across 9 categories: hygiene, meals, getting ready, bedtime, school, play, chores, emotions, and transitions.

Can I create my own activities?

Yes, with Premium you can create custom activities using photos from your camera or photo library, and record voice instructions.

Can I use my own photos?

Yes, Premium subscribers can take photos directly in the app or select images from their photo library to create personalized activities.

Does the app work offline?

Yes, MyVisualRoutine works completely offline. All data is stored locally on your device, so you don't need an internet connection.

Can I use this for multiple children?

Yes! Premium includes 5 profiles, so you can create separate routines and settings for different family members.

Subscription & Billing

What's included in the free version?

The free version includes the core tools—visual schedules, choice boards, First/Then boards, day plans—and all 50+ preloaded activities, with a limit on how many of each you can create. Premium removes those limits and adds custom photos, voice recording and more. The exact limits are always shown in the app.

How much does Premium cost?

Premium is an optional subscription with monthly and annual plans. Current prices, and any trial offer, are shown in the app and on the App Store and Google Play listings, so they are always up to date for your country.

Can I try Premium before subscribing?

Yes. The free version lets you try every type of board before you decide, and any Premium trial offer is shown in the app before you subscribe.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by the store you bought them from. On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. On Android, open the Google Play app and go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep Premium until the current period ends.

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are handled by the store you purchased through, under its policies. For App Store purchases, request a refund from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google Play purchases, request a refund through Google Play. We can't issue refunds ourselves because we never receive your payment details.

Privacy & Data

What data do you collect?

We don't collect any personal data, and there are no ads or advertising identifiers. All your profiles, routines, boards, photos, recordings and progress are stored only on your device. The app sends anonymous usage events and crash reports (Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, configured without advertising-ID support) so we can fix bugs and improve features.

Is my child's information safe?

Yes. Everything you create about your child stays on your device. We have no account system and no servers that store your family's information.

Do you share data with third parties?

No. We never sell or share your family's information. The only third parties involved are Firebase (anonymous analytics and crash reports) and RevenueCat (anonymous subscription status), and none of them receive your routines, photos, recordings or any personal details.

How do I delete my data?

Delete the app from your device to remove all of your data. Nothing is stored in the cloud, so deleting the app removes everything you created.

Troubleshooting

The app isn't working properly

Try closing and reopening the app. If issues persist, try restarting your device. For ongoing problems, contact [email protected].

I can't find an activity I need

If a preloaded activity doesn't exist, Premium users can create custom activities with their own photos and audio.
