You have to buy the 4$ version to sync w other phones

?????????

I started using this app a few years ago when I saw kids (ages 3, 6 & 8 years of age) pretend playing with their real cash and coins. Money was getting lost. This has been a perfect way for me to keep track of their allowance $. And the kids can spend their $ at anytime as long as they have some to spend. My 10 year old this year has even taken $ out of her account here and there so that she could have cash to spend. I'm a big fan of this app!!

I super-duper love this app!

I've been using iAllowance since it was brand spankin' new and it just keeps getting better and better. I have three kids and it can be hard to keep track of everybody's allowance, but this app makes it a breeze! It's also wonderful to have automatic scheduled transactions for adding their allowance to their accounts. I even use this app to keep track of our Family Fun Fund, then we all sit down together and figure out how we'll use it. One time we went go-kart racing. Another time, the money went toward a family membership to a local museum the kids love. Highly recommended!

No tutorial or overview????

:D Hippie Chickie ?

This has the potential to be an awesome app but I am not wasting a day or even an hour or two fumbling through and navigating in the dark to explore the potentials of purchasing an app knowing that the designers and builders obviously did not prioritize basics such as user friendliness in just the initial set up. If user-friendliness isn't a priority upfront it will most likely not be a priority long term and that's a HUGE deal breaker. ...with the benefit of saying goodbye to the piggy eyesore tile. Peace out ugly piggy bank icon.✌? Because complaining about the slight perk in not looking at the aesthetic eyesore of the piggy tile appears superficial I will explain why the functionality was the deal breaker. Is set up for a highly educated adult is cumbersome and lacks user-friendly tips, tricks, walk-throughs or smooth integration how on earth would this be user-friendly for a teen, preteen or especially usage by a child?! The apps link to the tutorial in Dropbox is no longer found ANNNND there's NO WALK THROUGH, no tips, no pointers, NO EXPLANATION WHATSOEVER regarding ANY of the app. Which basically equates to you can count on wasting your precious time navigating in the dark to figure it all out in hopes that it's actually worth purchasing in the end. I won't gamble away a day or even an afternoon of my precious time towards sampling a potential dud especially allocating my time resource to one such as this that's lacking zero direction or overview regarding what you are setting up, e.g. "accounts" or what is actually being allocated to what account, e.g. what monetary value the stars are worth or how time settings relate, etc is NOT worth anyone's time risk investment. --- The "tutorial video" is no longer found in drop box & the entire app seems cumbersome at best to piece together into a functioning machine. I will take my business to a more streamlined company/app that holds user integration as an upfront priority.

Unsupported App

While this is a good app if you are only using it on one device, it doesn't sync well with other family devices. And it looks like there is no longer any technical support for the app--inactive tutorial webpages, broken links, unreturned email, misleading instructions on what extras need to be purchased. After discovering all this, I was able to get a refund from Apple. It really needs a single sign on feature, so you don't need to sync at all.

Charges just to sync with a new device

I upgraded my phone and in order for me to sync the things I had done in this app it wants me to pay for an upgrade...I paid for the app when I downloaded it originally. What a scam, trying to make me pay again

Maybe it works- I can’t tell

I decided to try the free version of this app to see what it was all about. Well, don’t bother. The free version is so restricted that you can’t do anything. I had to upgrade just to add multiple children. Then when I tried to watch a support video (transactions) the link didn’t work. I couldn’t adjust the amount in my child’s account after she spent some of her money. I wouldn’t have minded paying the $3.99 for the full app, but don’t offer a free version that does nothing. I feel that it is misleading and they just want to sucker you in to buying the add ons. Deleted the app and purchased a different one.

Useful, but steep learning curve.

I’ve been using this app for several years now to keep track of chores, allowance and savings for my 2 daughters. It’s a very powerful app with rich features allowing you to get creative and specific with how you want to incentivize chores and savings with your kids. I does however come with a bit of a steep learning curve. Initial setup can be a bit painful, especially in regards to the cloud sync feature. It does work eventually, and every time I get a new device of the kids upgrade to a new phone, I pretty much have to start the sync process from scratch.
