About this app

Welcome to NatWest Rooster Money–a pocket money manager, piggy bank, reward chart, savings tracker & chores app–made to help families teach kids about money & savings goals. We also have a prepaid Visa debit card for kids that lets parents raise their youngsters to be money-wise.

With our allowance & kids money saving app, parents help children on their first steps towards understanding the value of money with a piggy bank–saving money–through to their first real-world purchases. Start with our reward chart, move them onto managing their own cash, earning with our chores & savings app, before trying a Rooster Card–a prepaid debit card for kids.

Parents can track pocket money, manage savings, create goals, set controls, add limits & enable their child to make real transactions online & in store.

Ratings and reviews

So far, so good. Using the paid version and have it set up for 4 kids. The "regulars" are good for my 16 y.o., who has phone, car insurance, etc. For the younger ones, it's just good motivation and a teaching tool. I contacted the developer with a question and suggestion, and got a response right away. *Update* My younger kids are learning so much about finances with this app. We homeschool, and I can't imagine anything better to teach the kids about earning, saving, and spending.

The app itself should be 4 1/2 or 5 stars - I love no longer having to go back and figure out back allowance because I'm not on top of it every week. I also love that my kid can ask to buy something in a store and I can immediately take the money out instead of forgetting until it's too late to remember how much he spent. But the 2 stars is for all the annoying ads my phone now pops up with every time I return to my main screen. It's getting to the point where I am considering deleting the app. Ads within an app I can understand, but ads that take over my whole phone? That is unacceptable.

I like some of the features of this app. I use it for the chore tracker. I am disappointed that I cannot see chores done the previous week and cannot edit them after the close of the week. I also need more flexibility on when to schedule a chore, such as scheduling every other day. This is the best chore tracker I have found so far but still needs many improvements to function easier.
