The best

I love that you can check you chore off when you are done with it.

Good app!

I like this app for keeping my 5 year old twins on track. Too often, allowance for us is when we think of it. This gives us a list of expectations for the kids to use themselves. Also, the reward/punish options are great because they let me deduct or add as I see fit. Id like for the kids to be able to see a more detailed history of deposits and withdrawals, more than the graph shows. This would help them better understand their earnings and prepare them for a checking account.

Missing some things

Most importantly- you cant time the chores only day them. Also, you cant have a "calendar" view of the chores.

Just perfect

Lays out what is expected and the rewards for extra. Keeps a running tally so I dont have to. The kids even like it.

Love this, great way to track chores!

Love this, easy to use... only wish I could view the history of the spend and rewards.

Love it

This app is the best! My daughter loves to check off her chores and watch her allowance grow!

AMAZING APP

this is the best app. no more fussing about who didnt do anything and who did stuff. No more fighting about allowance. This is a lot better than a $20 chore chart. I definitely recommend getting this app.

Keeps track of me too!

We rotate chores between 5 kids at our house and this app has been just what we needed to keep track of who does what. Some jobs are m-f, some are every other week and some are Saturday only and they all rotate. It was easy to set up and works great! We havent remembered often to check "done" jobs for allowance, but if only for keeping track of who does what its been worth it. I actually (the mom) put chores in there for me too sometimes.

Helpful but could be better

We use this app to keep track of how much our son has in allowance money. A lot of the things he wishes to purchase are online (in app purchases, stuff from Amazon etc) so its easier if his allowance is electronic instead of him always reimbursing us with cash whenever we use our credit card to buy something for him. I deducted a couple of stars because reviewing spending is kind of a pain. There is only a graph view and it isnt very detailed. For example, when I deduct money from my sons allowance I can enter a note specifying what the purchase was (for example, "new video game"). Unfortunately I have no idea where that note goes because it doesnt appear on the graph and Ive found no other way to view spending. I wish there was a simple list view that showed all transactions and their associated data.

Has everything I need

Great app, keeps the kids stuff getting. Great for people usually operates with credit. Still gives the kids a chance to save

Great!

Kids love it. Used an old original iPad and a wall mount and were the coolest appy family in town!

Very handy app, makes allowance tracking and spending much easier!

I heard about this app from MacWorld, and recently downloaded it to start tracking my younger daughters weekly chores and allowance. Its very easy to set up family members and their individual jobs, as well as track what theyve done or havent done. I really like how you can define "core" jobs that must be done for some parts of the allowance (like cleaning their room or doing the dinner dishes), plus optional jobs they can do to earn extra (like feeding the cats their dinner). I also like that each job can have its own schedule, so if something should be done twice a week Ill see right away if it was only done once. Its also great for "spending" since its all virtual. If theres something my daughter wants on Amazon or the App Store, we just see if she has enough allowance built up and then deduct the cost. I put it on my credit card and theres no need to pull cash out of a piggy bank or anything. But my daughter still learns the importance of earning money instead of just being given it, and of saving up for things that are important to her instead of always impulse buying as soon as she has the money. Great job!

Awesome!

This is exactly what I as looking for! I heard there was a Bank of Mom app but found it only for the iPhone. I dont know how good that is or if it tracks chores. I looked around and found this new, unrated app and it has everything I need to track my kids chores and allowance. There are a few minor things that I would change but nothing that would stop me from using this and my kids are excited to be able to see what chores they need to do and how much money theyre earning by doing so. It is very motivating! If you are paying your kid per chore and not giving a weekly allowance, just put in $0.00 for the allowance amount and then add the values on each individual job. I love this!!!

Great app

I bought AllowanceBot to help my kids track their money. They each have accounts set up for charity, long-term savings and spending and can watch the progress as they earn money and the balances increase. This app allows me to offer extra money for side jobs in addition to their chores. It also allows me to detail the steps involved in each chore which is a great function. The app engages the kids as they can access the app from their iPods and can update when their chores are finished. The calendar feature offers them the opportunity to work ahead of time on certain chores and get them done sooner. The parent password allows me to securely and easily make changes to the kids chores. This app is excellent and exactly what we were looking for!

Perfect!

This app is perfect for those parents who love organization and ease of use...and the kids can use it themselves to see what they need to do each day/week/month. The settings are flexible and customizable so the parent can approve the chore completion or not. I included daily basics for our little kids such as brush teeth and make bed. I have my 5 youngest kids using this app, ages 4 to 10. Graphics are fun and its very user-friendly. Thanks so much for making chores and allowances so much simpler!

Almost there

Good app however you need to create the same chore for every child. Very repetitive. To improve you should be able to create the chore and delegate the chore every week to someone or even better, allow the child to have the option to do it for additional money.

Very well done!! The best allowance app Ive found yet!

Ive tried quite a few of these allowance apps and have recently switched to this one. All I can say is wow! I wish I had found this earlier! Its rare to find an app this well thought out. Pros: -Chore management -Child can access account without being able to make changes. -Parent has separate password for settings and approvals -Payments for chores require parental approval -Very intuitive interface -Avatars are available if you dont want to use photos of your children -Seems to sync instantly between users Cons: -Avatars are great but there could be more of them. Features Id like to see added: -Id like to be able to specify an alarm time for daily reminders

Easy to use for parents and kids!

I have two young kids and this is a great app to make sure chores are not missed. I would like to see a bit more detail when it comes to listing punishments and rewards but in the end the kids are doing their chores and that is what we want!

Put your kids to work

Works fabulously,

Working so far

Kids love that an App can remind them to do chores I like how I can customize them, add pictures, pay per chore or a monthly set rate. I also like that I can take away amounts and it lets you let your kids know why. For the kids to take accountability through the App for getting the chores done is great. Good job!
