First & Then is a very simple app that uses a board with photos to show that one activity must happen before the next can occur. A fantastic tool for visual learners! The idea behind a First & Then board is to encourage a child to complete an activity that they don’t particularly enjoy. The board motivates the child to engage in a less preferred activity, knowing that a preferred activity (or a reward) will follow. For example, the ‘first’ activity may be something such as handwriting, homework, eating vegetables, using the toilet or visiting the dentist. The ‘then’ activity may be playing outside, computer time or a chocolate treat. The App is extremely simple to use, the board is set up from one page, with clear prompts to help along the way. The app allows the user to quickly and simply insert photos from the device’s camera or photo library, meaning that ‘First & Then’ boards can be made on-the-go and with little fuss. Photos taken are saved within the App to use again and again. The app includes a coloured visual timer, that the user can choose to use, to show the child how long they need to spend on an activity. As well as a digital display, the time is also represented by a coloured pie chart. When the pie is green, the child needs to keep going. When the pie turns amber, the child needs to get ready to finish. The pie turns red when it is time to stop the activity. The app also includes a ‘Finished box’. The child can drag the photo into this box when the activity is completed. The App is complete with the option to use exciting tones to reward the child for completing the activity. ## First & Then Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple118/v4/ea/73/1f/ea731fd2-c32e-7f84-47b3-d7c1b530d56a/mzl.cpszpkdb.png/2208x1242.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple118/v4/b8/9d/d2/b89dd2e6-3de2-c012-74be-679d7407f2fd/mzl.muuyanwi.png/2208x1242.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple118/v4/ee/c2/07/eec207f3-06d0-f7b6-6ac9-23df658dd171/mzl.nvxeftdg.png/2208x1242.png) ## First & Then Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 1 (11%) - 4 stars: 2 (22%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 6 (67%) ## First & Then Reviews in United States ### *---- "Good idea needs more support" I like how simple it is. I don’t need more than two spaces. BUT the “library” is severely lacking. Also, you can’t save cards to use again. Many times we need the same one and I have to go through and create it again in a time when I need it ready immediately. I also had no luck using the box when “firsts” were completed. Very disappointed. -- MamaDaddy007, 2020-10-18 ### *---- "Wish I’d read the reviews more closely" Timer doesn’t work, dragging items to the “finished” box doesn’t work. Buyer beware. -- cars-on-mars, 2020-06-19 ### *---- "Waste of money" Doesn’t even work. How can they still have this app for sale? Shame on the creator for making profit off of families who are seeking ways to support their kids with ASD! -- Rich7287, 2019-07-05 ### *---- "Waste of money" Everything showed that pictures came with the app, along with being able to add your own, both options were important. When you look at the apps pic library, nada. Plus the app hasn't been updated in almost 2 years. Very disappointed!!! -- springv, 2015-09-17 ### ****- "SDC teacher" I use this in my classroom and it is great for students that need a visual of the activity they are working on. I love that I can take pictures on the go and can customize without having to print out photos to make icons. The visual timer is also a lifesaver For students that have a difficult time ending a preferred a activity. My one suggest would be to change the sliding scale to set the time. I work with little ones and sometimes 1 minute of something is all they can handle, but the slider is really tricky at the 1-4 minute marks. I have been promoting this app to all of my parents and fellow special education specialist. -- Miss Lyna, 2013-11-21 ### **--- "Not that good" Can't use timer, put photos into first and then library or use finished box. -- Frenchb14, 2013-10-13 ### ***-- "In the right direction" I like the simplicity of this app & the use of "first this, then this" language is exactly what I'm looking for. However, I wish there was the ability to voice record & create a library of common activities. I like that timer is visual, as well! It's a good app with the potential to be great with some tweaks. -- andreasilvis, 2013-09-03 [View all First & Then reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## First & Then Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Ireland | Education | #179 | ## First & Then Discovered Keywords - first - first io - then ## Apps Similar to First & Then - [Choiceworks](https://apptail.io/app/choiceworks-SQb/united-states) - [Choiceworks Calendar](https://apptail.io/app/choiceworks-calendar-Due/united-states) - [CViConnect Pro](https://apptail.io/app/cviconnect-pro-xeZc/united-states) - [My Token Board](https://apptail.io/app/my-token-board-nRod/united-states) - [Choicegenics](https://apptail.io/app/choicegenics-UyBd/united-states) - [First Then Visual Schedule HD](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-visual-schedule-hd-btke/united-states) - [ASD Tools for Autism](https://apptail.io/app/asd-tools-for-autism-YeMe/united-states) - [Ready to Print](https://apptail.io/app/ready-to-print-lIbl/united-states) - [SPEDup Education](https://apptail.io/app/spedup-education-MVNm/united-states) - [Choiceworks Lite](https://apptail.io/app/choiceworks-lite-qoxq/united-states) ## First & Then Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/united-states) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/australia) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/united-kingdom) - [Bermuda](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/bermuda) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/belarus) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/denmark) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/egypt) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/finland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/israel) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/italy) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/kuwait) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/lebanon) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/new-zealand) - [Panama](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/panama) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/philippines) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/poland) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/romania) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/sweden) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/singapore) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/ukraine) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/united-arab-emirates) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/vietnam) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/azerbaijan) - [Bulgaria](https://apptail.io/app/first-then-vEce/bulgaria) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
