Email rwstout4@gmail.com with your question, your device (iPhone or iPad) and its iOS version. One person answers these, usually within two business days.

Getting started

1. Add the person you're making a schedule for.
2. Tap New, choose Schedule, pick the pictures for each step, and tap Save and print.
3. The print sheet shows a preview. Choose a strip, cut-out cards, a First / Then board or a checklist, then print or share the PDF.

Printing

• Cards come out slightly small. AirPrint scales a PDF to the printer's printable area, so a 3-inch card usually prints a few percent under size. The shrink is the same for every card, so cards still line up with each other. Print Settings › Printer check page and measure the square to see what your printer does.
• Cheap printing. Turn on black and white in the print sheet. Turn labels off for picture-only cards, or set a person to words only for no pictures at all.
• Cut lines can be turned off if you cut with a guillotine or trimmer.

Pictures

• The app includes 3,436 Mulberry symbols. You can also use your own photographs — a photo of the real bathroom door often works better than a drawing.
• A picture can be set for one person only, leaving everyone else's unchanged, from the picture's own screen.
• Each person can be set to photos, drawings, or words only, and that choice is used on paper and on screen.

Boards

First / Then, Now / Next and choice boards can be made without building a schedule, and saved so you can reprint, edit or duplicate them later. They live under Boards on the person's screen.

Backups

Settings › Your data writes one backup file containing your people, pictures, photos and schedules. Keep it in Files, iCloud Drive, or send it to yourself. Restoring it on another iPhone or iPad brings everything back. Because the app stores nothing online, this file is the only copy — make one before changing devices.

If something won't open

If the app can't read its data it says so and offers to save a recovery copy rather than deleting anything. Send that copy along with your email and we can look at it.

Privacy

Everything stays on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and the app makes no network requests at all. See the privacy policy.
