**********

The app opens up to a “I need a break screen” that vocalizes “I need a break” when it is tapped. The screen then transitions to a red screen with an angry face and the number ten. With each tap the screen transitions to a calmer face and color. In this way, the app prompts the user to count backwards from ten followed by a deep breath.

The app also includes a simple social story with line drawings about anger. The social story talks about feeling angry and things you can do, like counting to ten, breathing deeply and taking a break, to calm yourself down.

The settings screen allows you to choose from male, female or no vocals for counting back from ten and for reading the social story out loud.

Reviews

My students love it, it kicks in my OCD
Lil' Turtle 1980

My students love this app, especially when then are starting to calm down or just starting to escalate. The sounds works if you turn on the volume on your phone. The only thing is the voice never says “all done” my students are okay with this, however it kicks in my OCD. I’m able to move past it and my students find it “funny” when I start mumbling about it not finishing the job.

Don’t buy it

$3 for an app that only counts backward from 10.

Tried this morning!

Was so excited to get this! My son with autism was tantruming this morning because I would not let him bring one of his toys to school and I popped this puppy out and it worked like a charm!!! LOVE IT!!

NO SOUND!

I thought it would be a helpful app, but the sound does not work! It is a waste of money if it has no sound since my little one can't read and I was hopeful that "telling" how to calm down would be a great idea. I really want my money back, but the app maker has no contact info and I can't find how to get a refund from iTunes.
