About the creators:
S'moresUp was developed by longtime friends and techies Priya Rajendran and Reeves Xavier, who are passionate about using technology to solve parenting challenges.

Here is a quick message from Priya.

Hey folks, first of all, I appreciate you for taking the first step in looking to get help from technology in managing your families.

My name is Priya, and like most moms, I go by the title "Laya's Mom". I am a single mom with 3 jobs; a 24/7 parenting job, my mortgage-paying job as a technologist, and a passion job as a creator of S'moresUp.

S'moresUp was created as a simple home management system to bring consistency to my family. It brought significant changes to our home, and my friends started noticing the difference. I shared my solution with my friends and family looking for ways to manage their families better. Three years after, we have more than 130K families using the app.

Sometimes parenting is hard, but you don't have to tackle it alone. Give S'moresUp a try, and you would never want to go back to the old ways.

Happy Parenting!
Priya

S'moresUp's offers:

--> Chore Management: A highly customizable chore management system lets parents enter all of their household chores, and S'moresUp takes care of the rest. Using its sophisticated ChoreAI machine learning system, S'moresUp assigns, reminds, and rewards family members for chore completion saving parents an average of 8 hours per week. Integrations with Google and Amazon, GE Smart Appliances, and Bosch make family management uber smart.

--> Allowance Management: S'moresUp provides a comprehensive chore-reward management system (kids earn S'mores/points for every chore/action completed) that allows children to learn important life lessons regarding money management and smart spending/saving. The allowance tool provides an easy way to incentivize kids to do the right things, applying a penalty when they do not.

--> Schedule Management: S'moresUp provides a collaborative family planner for scheduling appointments and events, keeping everyone informed and on task.

--> Family Networking: With S'moresUp, families have access to a safe and secure way to stay in touch with extended family members through Family Campfires, as well as engage with a community of parents to share and discuss tips and tricks, find recommendations and get advice on parenting when they need it. For kids, this also creates a safe environment for learning and practicing proper social media etiquette.

The app provides a profile for everyone in the family so that if they are old enough, they can all manage their own responsibilities.

Ratings and reviews

Updated review: This app has shown so much improvement with it's interface and how it works. Currently, my issue is with the lag when creating or editing a chore. The setup is taking way too long because I'm having to take breaks in between. I have a newer phone, so this really shouldn't be an issue. Once chores are set up, everything else appears to be fine. Still working through some of the other mechanics and will update again.

My 12 year old struggles to stay focused. This app had been extremely helpful to him. Overall it's great. However, today it stopped working. The app fails to load despite being up to date, rebooting, etc. Second bit of feedback is that a web browser interface would be useful. Loading a monthly schedule can be a bit tedious on the app alone. Update 8/20: Able to auth but won't load profile; all kids now blank with errors. All smores MIA. 8/29: still completely dead. Still no real troubleshooting

I got my account fully set up exactly how I wanted it to be. I was very excited with all of the features. After closing the app the first time I have not been able to get past a partially loaded "choose your profile" screen. I tried accessing it through the main app icon, as well as the pop up notifications that were still arriving. Over the course of a week I tried closing the app, restarting my phone, uninstalling and reinstalling, and emailed customer service multiple times with no replies.

What's new
