Week Planner for Kids

What it is: an app for helping kids understand the concept of planning daily/weekly tasks.

What you do with it: create an account for a child (multiple accounts are possible) then create lists of activities for each day of the week. After the week has been planned, the special 'weather' or 'reward' icons can be added each day.

What we liked: the concept, overall look and feel of the app, ease of use (simple 'drag and drop' operation), simple layout and graphics, the options to create (by drawing or writing) your own task icons (alternatively you can import photos from the library on the device and use them as icons), the fun factor.

What we didn't like: space for only 6 tasks for each day. No ready-made icons for such basic tasks as brushing teeth, snack or potty time. No option to assign hours or at least parts of the day, like morning or afternoon (the educational value could be even higher then).

Bottom line: a great, fun to use app for teaching kids the concept of 'planning' (as long as you don't expect a fully-blown calendar app for precise planning of all your child's daily routines).
