Okay but one thing is irritating.

This app is okay. I would call it sort of helpful. I like how the admin is password protected. There is a lot that could be added without making it too complicated. There is one really annoying thing: you cannot use other apps while the practice timer is going. If you hit the home button on your iPad, it resets the timer. This means that if I need the iPad while my daughter is practicing, her practice time is not tracked while I am on the iPad and she is not given credit for that time. The time should be tracked and there should be a pop-up notice when the preset practice time is up. This is irritating because now I have to buy another timer app. Ugh.
Great musical instrument assistance for kids

This app is a great way to help kids get into music by getting them to practice their musicial instruments with prizes and incentives. Great for parents and fun for kids!
Gets my daughter to practice!

This app is a great tool to help my daughter maintain a good practice schedule for her guitar. Rewards help too!
Only one person can practice?

I have two kids and can't set them both up on this app! Whenever I try to add a second account, it erases the first account.
Great way to encourage kids to practice

This app is a great way to get kids excited about practicing. I love that kids can choose a reward to work towards, set a timer, record a clip of their practice, receive feedback and get a sticker for immediate positive reinforcement. I am using this with my own kids and with my music students. Improvements I would like to see would be more stickers that appeal to boys, and a way that kids could play back and hear their one minute of recorded practice on their end of the app.
