Goally Reviews

I was super excited to use Goally. But i literally spent hours trying to set it up. I was almost crying from the frustration. It’s not worth it at this point.

This platform is full of headaches just for set up. There is a lot that needs to be worked out so I plan to ask for a refund. Goally crashes repeatedly. You have to click through the set up prompt every single time you go in to routines. You can create a routine for your kids and it will disappear from your phone but stay on their tablet so they end up with multiple routines but you aren’t able to change or delete them. It’s honestly not worth the price. Great concept, but execution isn’t there.

I love Goally for my son with autism it is a great tool. But for me the this app care team app doesn’t work and I just read the web portal is getting shut down. Please don’t shut it down. Whenever I get a notification from the care team app, it simply opens Goally for me and doesn’t lead me to any sort of direct notification. I can’t see from my end what routines or activities he is doing unless I manually go in and look. I would like to be notified with specifics (i.e. what activity he is currently doing, what activities he has skipped, etc) it’s just not that user friendly to be doing away with the web portal entirely

I’ve tried multiple times to simply set up a profile for my kid and I can’t get pass putting in her name. It just freezes. I’ve deleted Goally , reloaded it, updated my phone, turned my phone off and on, had her dad try, and nothing. What a waste.

While Goally is free to download, the service is not free to use. There is not “In-app Purchases” indicator and there is no verbiage in the description indicating this either.

Parents: it's going to frustrate you to the point that you won't use it. Its glitchy to start. Common recommendations are to log out, uninstall, etc. You have precious little time and you don't want to lose days to setting this up. You also don't want to waste $20 a month until you realize it is not you that's the problem, it's Goally suite. They need to work on making Goally more seamless and make the features that could help our kids the most (routines!) easier to use. It's not there yet. It could get there, but it's too glitchy and expensive for 2023.

Is there a different app for your kid or do you just control from your phone

I bought the iPad. my son dropped the iPad on its side once, and the LED light must have broken! I don’t think they are very durable items. I would not recommend the iPad! Goally is great though!

I love the ability to help my adhd kiddo with routines. Goally is just so glitchy. It crashes when I try to edit routines, and when I upload pictures it says “file not found” - but then it does save it. It needs updates clearly, but in theory it’s great

We found the device and accompanying app to be a great concept though not well executed. The this app device is sluggish and slow to respond to commands, as is Goally when trying to program routines and activities. I think this could be a fantastic tool as the programmers work out the kinks and streamline the device and app in the months and years ahead.

Using this app she has better sleep habits than everyone else in my family

We love that our three kids have their own this app device, all of the routines are customized just for their individual goals and needs. We can easily change any routine, order, time, reward, behavior and support our children if needed- from a different room. Our babysitters, grandparents and even some teachers can all login and help support the needs of our children. Our behavior therapist are able to get a Data sheet and graphs sent to them to be aware of growth and to see where improvements need to be changed. I have definitely started having extra cash back in our account each month, now that I don’t need to laminate and replace so many other charts, graphs or other systems that just haven’t helped. My kids love their Goallys and we always tell everyone. Cheers!

My family has been using this app since July 2019, and could not be happier with the results. This is a well thought-out concept to help children with autism or ADHD and their families. It encourages independence in the children, and really helps to reduce stress in the family as a whole.

Furthermore, the this app team is extremely helpful and always available for all of us, the this app users. They make us feel like part of their family. Also, they are always working to improve Goally to make the this app experience the best it can be, especially for the children who rely on it and grow from it. I enthusiastically recommend this device and app!

My son has autism a d it’s been a real struggle. I’ve tried so many different things to keep him focused and engaged in learning but nothing has worked. That is until I tried this app. this app’s autism app is great for encouraging him to do good things and discouraging bad things. It’s really changed our whole families lifestyle and I’m so happy I found this app!

This makes it so easy to manage my autistic son’s this app throughout the day. I can track his behaviors and quickly edit his this app routines from my phone. I just added custom photos and videos to his this app from my own camera roll... let me tell you, what an UPGRADE. It’s just nice in general getting to tweak things with the click of a button on my phone.

We’ve been using this app for about 6 months now and it’s our son is infinitely more independent now.

We didn’t pressure him to use it for the first month. He just played on it and explored when we let him. Then we asked him if he wanted to do a night CoPilot and he agreed. Over time we’ve added more to it and he uses it for all of his mornings and nights.

So happy with our devices! My two with ASD and ADHD finally remember what they are supposed to do and the order of which to do them! The this app has cute noises that sound to remind them if they get distracted and they love talking about what rewards they are earning their points for. They get excited to do their chores to earn points and more importantly it removes ‘naggy mom’ from the whole equation and no more feelings from them that they can’t do anything right!

first off, the parent app to match the kid app is genius. i'm the caretaker of a boy named travis and the parent app helps me keep up with how he's feeling/his this app progress all with MY phone.

i looove the fact i can change or control anything remotely. for instance, i'll upload my own pics and create unqiue routines for travis instead of using the premade one's. the routines go right to his this app & he's responded super well to the personalization. 10/10 love love love.

this app has changed our lives. I no longer nag our son nonstop to complete basic tasks like getting ready for bed or cleaning his room. this app lets us create different routines that take him through step by step. Best of all, he feels involved in creating them and will ask for changes that help him do things in a way that makes sense to him and evolve as he grows and his needs change. He has more confidence, and we don’t fight about things like putting on socks or brushing teeth. We all love it!! There is a learning curve at first, but the customer support is beyond phenomenal.

App helps to make it easy manage my kiddos routines and make adjustments easy for when things need a minor update.
