Chores & Allowance Bot is an easy, fun, and super versatile way to keep track of your familys chores, allowances, and savings goals.

With Chores & Allowance Bot, children wont lose or misplace paper money and you wont have to keep track of allowances and chores by hand. Teach your children about saving, spending, and earning money towards goals through work and good behavior.

Chores & Allowance Bot will automatically keep your whole family’s chores and allowances in sync across all your devices.

With Chores & Allowance Bot you can create a daily, weekly, or monthly allowance for each child. A different allowance amount can be setup for each child.

Its easy to assign chores to multiple children. Each chore can be a one time chore, or repeated on a daily, weekly, or monthly chores schedule.

Chores can be required for allowance, reward, or up-for-grabs. Reward chores pay a specific reward each time the chore is done. Up-for-grabs chores also pay a reward, but the chore can only be done by one child on each day it is assigned.

Chores can be rotated between multiple children.

There is an option to keep chores in a child’s todo list for extra days if it is not done.

Kids can receive chore reminders without having to open the app and parents can send reminders to their kids at any time.

Features:
* Create and manage as many children, chores, and allowances as you want.
* Automatic sync between multiple devices - no setup required, just login to the app with the same email and password.
* Set up daily, weekly, or monthly allowances.
* Easily assign chores to multiple children.
* Choose whether allowances accrue automatically or only after parental approval.
* Deduct money from a childs account when they spend money.
* Easily withhold any number of future allowance payments as punishment.
Children can choose one of 16 avatars, or a photo to personalize the app.
Photos can be added to each chore to help kids understand what needs to be done.
* Receive reminders when you forget to approve an allowance or chore payment.
* Pre-readers can have things like chore names, chore descriptions, allowance and savings amounts read aloud to them by the app.
* Approve or unapprove allowance payments.
* Optional parental passcode stops kids from making changes without permission.

Chores & Allowance Bot’s optional Premium subscription gives you the following additional features:

Pros and cons of Chores & Allowance Bot app for iPhone and iPad

Chores & Allowance Bot app good for

Great app! Thank you! Very user friendly Much thought went into putting this together...it has lots of useful options Very organized and practical Moveable chore list is great for changing their order Chores can be read out ... great for those who cant read very well Lots of space to put details about the chore Automatically calculates allowance Has deduction options Chore time schedule setup is great...twice a week, every 2nd day, only once, every month, only certain days of the week Can synchronize with childs device...only pay once for app using Family Sharing After trying many chore apps for kids, this takes first place!
I bought a few other allowance type apps and by far this one is the easiest to use. The syncing works really well which is what I was looking for to share with my kids. Other apps make you use Dropbox and theyre quite buggy. Theyre also too complicated for what I needed. Well worth the money.
I tried a few allowance/chore apps, and this one is the best so far. Simple & easy to use and the options work well for what I need. My only suggestion would be to have the option of adding a list of additional chores that can be claimed by any child, and not necessarily assigned to them.
I too went through several free apps looking for all the features I wanted. In particular ability to sync with childs mobile device. This app is the winner. Happy to find it. Thanks to other reviewers who compelled me to take a chance and pay for this one. Glad I did!
Hands down, this app has been a blessing for our family. Our two girls love being able to positively save and earn money and my husband and I love the approach of assigning chores with very little resistance from our kids. Its simple and user friendly. We have been using it for a year and I have friends and family that are loving it too!
I was aging exponentially every time my kids said, "mom you remember you said youd pay me $10 for helping you clean out the garage Two weeks ago?" I have no recollection of having a garage, much less cleaning it out, much less agreeing to pay. Im sure I did. But I felt like I was constantly getting fleeced and failing to pay my kids on time because I didnt have the cash handy, etc. So now on Sundays we pay out whatever the bot says we owe. If baby does an extra chore, it goes in the bot when we agree on it. If its not in the bot, it doesnt get paid out. It also helps with online purchases. If I order something on behalf of a kid, I mark it in the bot. I wish it included a way to review past payments, but I live in the moment, so its workable. This is one of those small apps that has made my life much better.

Some bad moments

The concept is really good, but it doesnt really work well. All of the chores that we assign our kids, do not always appear. The application gets confused and it changes the days. It doesnt show all of the chores assigned per day. Im not happy with this app. Too late now.
This app worked great until 9/16. Now it is useless. Such a shame.
I purchased the upgraded app and am extremely disappointed because I like the idea of the app, it just wont work right. My kids are ready to use it but I have to change the order of the kids every time one wants to do his chores. It also notifies you that it cant save changes at this time with an error code. It also doesnt update the kids completed chores sometimes. They are also unresponsive to questions and problems which angers me because I paid for it thinking it would work.
I feel the app is a bit cumbersome to use. It would be nice to go through my list of chores and assign a child to it versus going into the child and choosing chores for each child. Also, it would be nice if the date you were entering the chores was the date that would come up versus having to scroll through all the numbers.
And only one savings "account" ie cannot separate allotted money for children.
I love this app. It has helped my kids do their chores and me with being able to track their allowance. If you pay your kids an allowance you should get this app.
