Thank you for adding #2! It has really helped my daughter; she actually repeats the steps as she goes. Not sure if you want to make more but if so, one on teeth brushing would be awesome. Thanks again!!!

Perfect for kids with disabilities! Absolutely love all of this app! Cannot wait to use with my clients
My daughter watched this on my iPhone about 50 times until she decided to potty train herself, she would recite the steps from the app as she went! So cute!
My son is 4 and has autism. Ive tried potty training before but he never took to it. I came across this app and was delighted. Its perfect. And my son actually loves to watch it. Its already helped him. Last night we tried the potty, and although he didnt produce the first time around, he still followed all the other steps on the screen. And I just know after watching this enough times, he will be going potty at last. Thank you!
I am the Grandmother of a 2 1/2 year old. I found this app to be the perfect potty training tool for my Grandchild. She loves watching the app. This excellent visual makes the whole process less scary for the child and very helpful for the adult trainer. I especially love that it covers #1 and #2 in a matter-of-fact way. It is tastefully done because of the long shirt the girl is wearing, but it actually shows the child what happens when he/she goes to the potty. The easy steps are clear and simple for a child to memorize. Well done!!! Ellas Grandma
My daughter just turned 2 & she loves it. Great for anyone teaching/learning potty training.
Potty training my 5 1/2 yr old son with Down syndrome was such a trial. We successfully had him peeing in a potty but pooping was a very big hurdle. Until I downloaded this app. My older kids may have been totally grossed out but Im the one that changes diapers so I thought it was the coolest thing ever. My son played it over and over again showing everyone the app. And it clicked with him. And now success with pooping on the potty. I couldnt be happier thank you so much for this app
First time reviewing an app ever--my daughter loves this thing. I have no idea why? Its so simple yet she is intrigued. We have probably watched it 20 times already and she keeps begging to watch it again. I think she just likes seeing the little girl go on the potty like she does and it motivates her to go. Simple but extremely useful!! Thank you!!
This app is exactly what my echolalic 6-year old needed. She almost immediately memorized the script and identifies with the avatar that looks like her. She spent hours taking her stuffed animals through the potty process, and while she is not yet potty trained, she follows the process herself multiple times a day. I have a request for a new app for AvaKid that would be so beneficial for our kids. I would love to have AvaKid go through a process for what to do when she is lost with the kind of singsong script this app has. And how fabulous if parents could input name, phone number, and address, and maybe "I am autistic." I know my child would learn this script and scenario quickly whereas she still struggles with the practice question-and-answer script I have. She rarely will respond to even "what is your name," and I know in a crisis situation it will be all the more difficult. Just a suggestion for a new app building off the fantastic AvaKid concept:)
This is exactly what my 3 y/o needs. He really hasnt taken to any potty training methods or apps, but this one has kept his attention. Simple, no bells and whistles or in-app purchases, just a helpful app. He loved seeing his name on the shirt too!
My son is almost 6 years old and has Down syndrome. He knows, and can do, all the parts to going potty but was refusing to do so independently and potty time was becoming increasingly challenging. He is a visual learner and follows each step of the video on the app. We now hand him the iPhone or iPad with the app running when it is potty time and he does each step, independently. Without us commanding, hes much happier and potty time is no longer a struggle. Hes even starting to tell us, "potty please!" In just one week we went from fighting and throwing fits during potty time to cooperation and him being so proud of his success. I would love to see an option demonstrating standing up. I would also love to see a tracking chart so we can track progress for school to know what happens at home and vice versa with times. Though I really dont think well need to track for much longer!
My 2 years old daughter was watching this app for 2 weeks and she decide go potty. Since that day she is using underwear. I am really happy.
First off, dont have me pay money with the promise that I will be able to make an avatar that looks like my kid when that is not possible. The kid looks way older than my kid, theres no option for a buzzed haircut like my kid has, my kid does not see himself in the avatar at all. It does look a bit like his 7 year old brother, so we say its bubby. And the kid doesnt wipe, even though there is a pic of toilet paper right next to him! Gross and not setting a very good example. I guess it does have some perks, I like that it actually shows the pee and poop coming out. Good visual for the kids to see what exactly is happening down there. And it is simple enough for the child to understand.
My grandson is turning four next month. He has autism and is essentially non verbal so potty training has been challenging. He has had success with number one, but he has not been doing well with number two. It was almost like he could not make the connection. We have tried stories and other apps. He watched this app probably 10-15 times over two days. He watched the poopoo story intently, repeatedly. His mom called me last night to tell me that he pooped on the potty! He did it again twice today! I cannot say that I am 100% certain that this app made the difference but it is the only thing that has changed in his routine and he was memorized when watching it ! Thank you for filling the gap that we could not! And please make more apps like this!
My almost 3-year-old daughter loves this app. We have been having difficulties teaching her language in preparation for potty training, and since she started playing with her avakid, she has picked up all of the words she needs for us to get off to a good start. Thank you to the creators of this app. It is genius.
My son is three, so the avatar looks a little older than he does, but he still recognizes it as himself. I was worried that it might be explicit, but it shows only as much as necessary (no anatomy) and no more. As mentioned in other reviews, the app doesnt show using toilet paper for a boy after peeing, but we can cover that when we get to it. We just started training, but the interactivity, customization, and simplicity already have made it his favorite potty learning resource (apps, videos, and books). Well worth the price!
I tried to create a new avatar and it would save or go back to the home screen so I had to delete the app.
This is a wonderful and simple app. I really appreciate the simple language and graphics for my clients with autism. Thank you so much! Its worth every penny.
Purchase app and it never loaded. Support never got back to me either.
This app is wonderful for helping children learning how to potty training. I had no problem using this app with an iPhone 4, but now, this app is not compatible with my new iPhone 6 with iOS8. The app will not open and freezes during loading phase. Other than compatibility issues, the app really helps my toddler.
