2.0 out of 5 stars It needs a lot of work... May 11, 2012

By Tom Z.

This app needs much more developement...

1. First off the interface is more difficult than it should be:

The menu key doesn't do much. In the menu that pops up there should be a Home, Settings, Edit, etc.
You have to keep pressing the upper left button just to return to the main screen.

2. Should have a password or Pin:

The kids can change anything they want when using your phone or tablet.

3. Should have a log-in system:

This would allow the parents to change settings.
The kids could check their progress and request a reward.

4. Cross-platform needed, plus syncing:

There needs to be a desktop version. This would allow the kids to use the home computer to check progress and interact with the software.
This would also allow Android and Iphones to share information between parents and kids.

The above will get this app started on being something useful.

Bottom line, Start by completely reworking the interface and make use of the menu key on the phone/tablet. Needs a lot of work!

1.0 out of 5 stars Lack of updates, No response from support May 11, 2012

By M. Boehm

Update: I lowered my review to 1 star due to lack of response from the support team. The IOS version of this app was updated with a password so that kids couldn't edit the stars themselves. I emailed the support team in June and was told it was coming to Android in a couple weeks. I emailed them a couple more times in the 3 months since and have gotten no response. Without this feature, the app is unreliable and kids can star their own things and may star the wrong things by mistake or on purpose. I will revise this review again if/when the app gets updated.

Original Review Below:
This app is neat. It's a great way to keep track of when your kids are doing their chores and acting appropriately as an alternative to a manual chore chart.

The only feature I need that's not included is a way to sync this app between multiple devices like I can with the various grocery apps. That way I can easily use this on my tablet when I'm at home so the kids can see it and use it along with me, but then I could also add things from my phone when we're out and about running errands and things.

Actually one other feature would be to require a PIN in order to modify things. That way the kids could look at it and see how they're doing, but wouldn't be able to go in and screw with the data unless they entered the proper PIN/password. Developers, if you read this, please add those to your to do list.

ALSO, even if you don't have kids, check out this review on Youtube for a guy who set it up to use it like his own ToDo list to reward himself for when he works out during the day or when he accomplishes things at work. Neat idea.

I guess I can't post a link to Youtube so just go there and search for 3JUMIwPMhBA

4.0 out of 5 stars would be great if... January 7, 2013

By celeste mom of 1

I love this app. It makes it very easy to track the progress of my child in the areas she needs to work on. However, I paid $4 for an app that shuts down every time I try to assign a picture by her name. I know it's a small detail but for a paid app, I expect it to work properly.
