Ratings and reviews

This is one of the most spammy apps I have ever had to deal with, and I play a lot of mobile games. Constant emails, reminders, suggestions to upgrade. All I need is a simple ledger to keep track of my kids allowance and instead this tries to get you to sign up for a $20 a year subscription for a bunch of very basic features. I will not be using this app in the future.

This app is amazing! We opted for the full version & don't regret it. The only thing that swayed a 3 star vs 5 star rating is the limited platforms. It's not available on a PC or on a Kindle Fire, so my kids have to use my cell phone in order to do their chores - which means I have to be home for them to be motivated. This REALLY needs more platform versatility. There is also not a way to add a 2nd parent, which seems like a pretty basic feature. Savings bucket & goals would be nice as well.

I switched from Green Light to using this, and I adore the features and design of this app! That said, I am irritated that when I reorder the assigned kids for a chore, it doesn't stay saved. Also there is some kind of glitch or issue with accepting finished chores. It says "change" up above but when I click accept, it is 0.00. I have no idea how to get it to give the correct amount without kind of getting around it. But then I also apparently don't understand "savings" vs. Allowance etc.

What's new

° Added the ability to reorder chore assignees. This is especially useful for chores that rotate between multiple children.
° The Chore Chart now displays children in the order that they are assigned to each chore.
° Fixed access to the device camera and photo gallery on some devices.
