EndeavorRx® - Kid Reviews

I am a family nurse practitioner who has had ADHD since I was age 5. I’ve taken a variety of medications and seen numerous things that are purported to help with ADHD. Here are some key takeaways
1. This is a video game specifically focused on helping children age 8 to 12 with ADHD it requires supervision from a healthcare professional that’s why it’s FDA approved and needs a prescription.

2. There is a commitment to use this 3 to 5 times a week for at least three months to see results. It does not replace medication it is adjunct therapy to be used in consideration with other treatment modalities. Basically that means the family and the healthcare professionals decide on other things that can help with ADHD this is never a standalone product.

3. As a dualy licensed family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner I find any tools that can help support family and improve the disease process is much better than just medication alone. Enclosing research different treatments read and understand with the product does and does not do before making some flippant and derogatory comments that makes you look uneducated and uninformed.

This product may not be for everyone but for those with adhd age 8 to 12 it is a new therapeutic tool that is a game changer

We have been using this game about a week. Please add a timer to this game. And please allow parents to set how long they should use the game. Also, it would be helpful if the child had to play the game for a certain number of minutes before they were able to access the character store. I was under the impression my daughter was doing the full 25 minutes every time because I am setting a timer downstairs, however it looks like she was only spending part of the time doing the game and the rest doing the store. Also the parent app is not very helpful at all. I would like to see real data on where she struggling and how she’s improving over time. What is shown currently is not helping me as a parent at all. Thanks for your time.

Honestly I think that the game should have a few more items that the child can change such as sensitivity and audio settings for the reason the game is having the child do hairpin turns and is having to flip the device therefore preventing them from seeing the items in which they need to tap and the audio settings for the ability to use music if that helps them focus as well as scoring less harshly because the child in a skill test can make less that six mistakes in targeting or else that have to do it again. Thank you for your time I hope my feedback is helpful

This child’s game is way too complicated for even some parents to understand why make it so hard to even create an account if this is a GAME and also why do you need our address? There isn’t a purpose too having it because this game is strictly for KIDS with adhd it would be easier if you were just to request a location from the user.

Adult with inattentive ADHD and a degree in Psychology. Played the demo. Graphics are nice, but the concept is based on flawed logic about ADHD. It's easy to pay attention to games for hours because they're so stimulating. It's difficult to pay attention to schoolwork for even a few minutes because it's not very engaging. Being good at the former in no way translates to being good at the latter.

I’ve been trying for weeks to activate EndeavorRx, but the activation links I’m being sent go to pages that are non-functional and EndeavorRx freezes halfway through creating an account. I’ve now spoken with 5 different people from the company, none of whom can figure out how to make it function.

Thought this was free, but requires a monthly subscription. It’s just a video game, and I can’t see any reason why someone would pay money for it. There are plenty of free educational game in EndeavorRx Store, this isn’t even educational. Might as well just let your kids play Candy Crush instead.

I purchased the game, made 3 calls to the activation company assist and 2 to the pharmacy and no one can help me in knowing what the problem is and how to activate the game. Very disappointing for the $300 I paid to get some kind of help. I don’t know what I need to do, no game, no refund of money…a complete fraud in my opinion. Not worth it.

I’ve been waiting for this for my kid. Hope it will help us avoid meds

The reason I put the rating as ⭐️⭐️ is because 1, there are no sensitivity controls and settings and 2, controllers are not supporting also I would like a little bit more than chasing creatures

Thanks for making such an important product- fun and therapeutic!

You should not need a prescription to play a video game, could have made it accessible to all for free and just made a way to “upgrade” your account by adding in app purchases. Not the greatest marketing ideas but they have their heads in the right place

FYI- EndeavorRx is not working yet. they harvest your information BEFORE telling you that you have to join the waitlist so when EndeavorRx comes online you can pay to subscribe. Not happy, that was SKETCHY business practice. Apple will be notified

I borrowed $300money to buy this game for my son and he hates this game I am a single mom and now I am so disappointed that he doesn’t want to play the game I tried everything to encourage him but it didn’t work. I really want my money back

The graphics are worse than Minecraft as a child playing this game do not get if you are over 5 the concept is subway surfers but worse even for a medical game this is bad

As someone with severe adhd, I found this to be extremely frustrating and slightly overstimulating. Deleted within the hour.

This game is really nice it helped me with my 80 hd and I have fun in the process this game is GREAT!!!

It’s bad enough to ask people to register to play a game. The fact that some people are using this to help with a medical condition makes it much worse.

Its just a game. Why do you need a perscription? It would’ve been nicer to know before i tried to make an account! Such a waste of time.

there are many things that make this game problematic.

First, the game is VERY critical to children and has made my daughter cry because she feels like she’s not good enough, which adds on to the main point of it being very difficult to play in many ways. This includes the game making your child do sharp turns back and forth, the game doesn’t have enough sensitivity to tilting your device unless you put it completely on its side which makes you turn too fast, the game runs you through tests to see if it should be harder, and if you pass the game gets too hard which makes the game to frustrating to play, if you don’t capture the “mystic creature” you feel like your not good enough, people have reported their child destroying devices because it’s frustrating, your child has to play for 5 days a week which would be every school day unless they do it on the weekend (which we will never happen) so it adds on to homework and it ware’s your child out, if you don’t have time to do it on school days your child has to do it on the weekend, if you can’t do it for at least 3 days of the week you don’t get in what is the minimum amount of time, and many other things.

There are some upsides too. On top of all of those bad things, if your child does play the minimum amount of minuets for 5 days a week and they continue to keep that up for most of the time you do start to see a change. My child doesn’t always get 5 days a week playing for 30 mins, but as long as she does about 4-3 days a week playing for the minimum amount of minuets once in a while I don’t see it affecting the positive affect if the game at all. The game has helped my daughter be able to hear me while she is hyper-focused on something she’s doing, she has been able to control her impulse better, she has been able to come back to what she’s supposed to be doing better, she doesn’t miss multi step directions as often, she’s been able to continue trying at a difficult task instead of giving up somewhat easier, and she is able to multi task better.

So basically, I do recommend this game because even if your child hates it and they still manage to get the minimum time in (or they occasionally get close to the minimum time in) the positive affects of the game will definitely show up in your child and they will also help your child. But I also don’t recommend it because of the many flaws that can stop your chiId from committing to playing and stop the positive affects from occurring. Really, getting the game and having your child manage to do it is all personal to your schedule and your childs behavioral adaptations plus how their ADHD affects them. Getting the game is completely up to you but make sure you do some thinking about your child, schedule, and consider researching more about both good and bad opinions on this game before you buy it.

Great game

I have it on my iPad—was downloading in for a grandchild. It’s completely upside down. Nothing else has this problem.

It is the worst game I’ve seen or played

Sign in, sign up, then you have to enter a code to access. But there are no codes. Only a waitlist for when it goes available. Why even upload to the AppStore yet?

As a foster mama I was excited about this game. This game is geared to so many of my children and looked to be such a help. Lots of hoops to jump through and lots of information sharing and when you get to the end you need a 25 digit code that you have to apply for. Now I am reading that you also have to pay a subscription, the costs should be up front not behind the scenes. Shame on you and this could free a wonderful tool for so many children.

You are asked to enter plenty of personal information and to verify your email. Then it turns out you need a 25 digit verification code to actually play with no explanation on how to receive that 25 digit code. Too many steps to get a game.

Gets you to sign up and give all your Info before saying you need to be given a special code when invited to be a part of a control study.

They don’t disclose that there’s a waitlist or something to get an activation code until after they collect your personal information. This is an unfair practice.
