Bait and Switch – Brili Routines – Visual Timer Review

The commercial for this app is amazing! I was excited to try it with my kids (9 and 15). I set up elaborate custom routines replete with photos and everything. The kids were highly motivated by the rewards. It was all going to be great ... until I realized the app requires integrity, which my nine-year-old is still working on. She’s highly gifted and always looking for a shortcut. There is nothing built in to keep a kid from just swiping swiftly through tasks they haven’t even completed in real life! That’s the first lie from the commercial. The little boy in the ad is brushing his teeth, and Brili tells him he didn’t brush long enough. That is not a thing. You know why? The app also doesn’t talk! I haven’t heard this thing make a peep, and I don’t see a setting that makes it do so. Those three things are dealbreakers for us. I can’t be dishing out Roblox bucks and trips to the movies for a kid who isn’t completing the tasks. She says she did them, but ashy legs and funky breath tell a different story. $50 a year? Nope. Back to nagging I go.
