Behavior Status

A couple days ago, I released a new version of Behavior Status, Version 3.0.1 with the following new features.

Specific Behavior Tracking

Specific Behavior tracking came out of a conversation I had with a parent of an Autistic child.  The parent was affiliated with the Jenny McCarthy‘s  Generation Rescue program. After talking to the parent from the east coast for an hour, we came up with several additions to app.  The new features were geared primarily at those who are trying to rescue a child with autism.  And thus Specific Behavior tracking was born.  Essentially what it allows you to is not only track the overall behavior as it did before, but you can now list behaviors you want to track.  The list of specific behaviors are per child, thus each child can have their own list.  As you may need to track different behaviors for different children.  In addition, you can enable this feature on a per child basis, making it easy to only use this feature for the children you need too.

Other Updates in this Version

• Major Performance Improvement on the Home screen for users who have lots of child in the app
• New Calendar Preference to make it easier to see which days have data and which do not.
• A few minor bug fixes

While I do have an overall vision for where this app can go, new features are largely driven by requests from users, parents, teachers, etc.  Be sure to keep the feedback coming!
