    We've been using this for years and years, and it works fine. The syncing is great. I wish it had more advanced features, such as a built-in timer.
  • Frustrating and glitchy

    I liked that this app was not a subscription like many of the other options out there, but I regret buying it. First after I spent all the time creating a profile for each of my kids and setting up their respective chores I wanted to delete a copy profile I had and all 3 profiles got deleted. Now I’m adding everything again and I see the app somehow downloaded twice to my profile so now I have 2 versions of the same app on my phone. I tried contacting the developer but their server is bouncing the emails…
  • Developer/Support seem to have fallen off planet

    We’ve used this app for several years as a sort of ledger for kids’ birthday money, purchases, etc and some automatic allowance granting. When I recently deleted something I shouldn’t have and attempted to contact support, I came to realize that the developer seems to have vanished. All his apps haven’t been updated in a few years, online documentation/FAQs out of date & inaccurate, support email goes unanswered (except an auto-reply citing COVID delays), etc. Address for the company is a personal residence - and it was sold a few years ago - so doubt there’s anyone else who is taking the reins. Anyway, the app seems functional, but support has vanished, so beware.
  • Makes incorrect automatic allowance payments

    I was relatively happy with the. One issue is that all family users use the same account. You can’t have different users with different functionality. But the biggest issue is that the automatic allowance payments often makes 2 or even 3 duplicate payments. Now I have to go back and correct the entries. And I can’t erase the entries easily. I have to edit the entry as a 1 cent deposit because I can’t erase and can’t leave the entry with a zero value.
  • Does Not WORK!!

    I have iPhone 11 and my iPad 11 pro. It does not work it locks up and freezes. I can’t even add a child and I can’t add any chores to it or anything does must be very old and needs to be taken off Apple. I very much would like a refund as soon as possible.
  • Well done app, wish parental controls were better

    I do really like the app but I really wish I could lock the kids out from making changes. It’s helpful and motivating for my kids to see how many stars/$ they are earning. I downloaded the app on both my phone and their iPad. That way I could mark their chores complete and they’d be able to see what they earned. Problem is, I am unable to lock them out from making changes on their device, so by the the next morning they’d each marked a month of chores already complete.
  • Setup Frustration

    I can’t even get this thing through setup. Every time I accidentally hit part of the screen outside of the setup wizard, it erases my progress and I have to start over. It also keeps getting stuck when I try to set up the date for an allowance. I hope this experience gets better when I make it through setup.
  • Horribly frustrating

    I’ve had the app for a total of 5 minutes and I already hate it. I love the concept but for spending any amount of money it’s just not worth it. It bugs/ cliches and requires restarting. It’s so hard to navigate and figure out how to go back and edit or add things. I’m really disappointed!
  • Way to complicated

    I managed to lose my password and any attempt to reset the password disappears into the ether. All attempts at contacting customer service ran into a wall as well.
