Wonderful App
Speechbug99
We love this app. We always know how much spending money our child has. Because allowance can be deposited automatically, we don't have to worry about "missed" payments. The app helps our son plan for purchases - he can check to see his balance grow (or how much more he needs to earn to purchase a desired toy). It alleviates arguments and compensates for our poor memory skills (even parents can't remember everything!). We have set up "bonus" banks - our son earns "cool points" (stars) for spontaneous acts of helpfulness (or especially great behavior). The app allows you to convert these stars into money or time units. You can decide how much a "star" is worth. So your child could earn computer time, game time, etc. The chore chart allows another way for your child to earn items. You decide what each chore is worth The child can check off his chores but money/items aren't added until you "confirm" by checking each item. The app allows you to transfer money/units between accounts (i.e. moving money from savings to spending). When our son has earned a number of "cool points" we can transfer them to his spending. The app will convert the stars to money if you like with just a click of an icon. I am excited to hear the app can be connected to an actual account with a debit card. When our son gets older-this may be a great way to teach him how to manage money!
This app does it all

After failing so many times to implement a reward system with my children I finally decided to see if there was an app out there to help and I found iallowance. I love how it can track multiple reward types (money stars time) so whatever my kids are motivated for at the time I can give them that. I can pass out rewards or "punishments" ( losing stars) no matter where we are. It's so easy for the kids to see their progress towards rewards with the colored status bars. For any money they earn I can automatically divide it to spend save give banks. This app is the best representation of real life financial management for kids and it makes teaching good financial principles so easy my 6 and 7 year olds understand. It's the best I just love it so much!
Great Allowance App

Love this app for tracking my daughter's chores and allowance. I've tried several and think this one is the best. Love the look and functionality, and it's very versatile. The support staff is great. My only suggestion is instead of purchasing in-app upgrades is to go ahead and purchase the full version app.
Every family needs this app!

My children can't wait to finish their tasks each day-no more arguments or push back! They are excited to mark off their rewards and watch their banks fill up. It also helps them understand how to manage and spend their earnings. We have the app on all our devices and can easily reward (or take away) points as necessary. The devices also sync easily. Excellent!!
Highly Responsive Customer Service

I had a problem syncing the app between two devices and sent an email to the developer. He responded promptly and resolved my syncing issue quickly and with professionalism and courtesy. I recommend the full paid version of this app.
Just starting but a little awkward
robfrazzini
Interesting app and I very much like the concept. The execution however seems limited and buggy. Awkward - You can't select multiple children at the same time when editing. This makes you make changes multiple times if it applies to more than one child. Update, you can reorder chores but not from the wizard. You do it from the child settings screens and of course you have to do it for each child. Buggy - Sync is REALLY buggy. Installed it on my phone set for iCloud sync. Oh my - have the custom chores I put it got messed up, or appeared on one device and not the other. This needs some REAL work. Sync seems to go on forever at times. Dropbox sync doesn't seem to allow you to select a location. When I select a chore for completion it sometimes selects multiple chores. Overall it's not bad, will wait and see how this plays out and review after a few weeks.
We like it!

The chores List has been expanded and grouped to include school related and self-care so that the one list isn't so long. That and transferring stars into money or screen time has been great for my nine and 11-year-olds. We don't do an allowance, but it has been great for the boys to see that they are earning the privileges. Four weeks into the new school year, It's almost tangible, with great results, instead of the subjective yes/no from one parent or the other. Biggest challenge is the same as ever, consistency. This app helps us.
Get the full version!

The full version allowed my teenager to see when I deducted money from him when he didn't do a chore and also allowed him to add chores to earn money. This app is great! I love how I can customize it! It has allowed me to do less yelling and more hitting "where it hurts" in my son's pockets! Ha!
