iAllowance (Chores Allowances) App Reviews

I dont synch between devices, so cant comment on that. I use it for my two kids allowances and chores. And then I started using it for my sister and Dad whom we are always paying for things for each other (vacations, combo gifts for other people, etc.). Was handy for that.

I really love this app. I keep track of kids allowances and money earned from chores. If they want me to buy something I just withdraw from their accounts. Ive been using this for several years and its great.

I had trouble with the initial syncing of multiple devices and the developer promptly emailed a fix which worked great. I love that the kids can see their accounts but that they cant easily add extra funds for themselves.

Works but kind of complicated. it could be better

Perfect for allowance tracking!

My daughter love this app and has really been enjoying helping out more as a result of the chore tracking. Also the ability to automatically distribute allowance into spending charity and saving has been a great teaching tool. Already recommended this app to several friends. Thanks so much!

I’ve tried many chores apps over the years. For this one, your kid has to be able to read and to understand charts. The options are pretty robust, but there are limitations. The developer is super-fast at getting back to questions, though.

We use this to track allowance and savings for three kids, plus discretionary funds for the parents. Two iphones have edit control, while the kids ipads only show their individual accounts. It syncs via dropbox and uses very little space. The sync function had gotten slow for us after 8 months. Their support group told us exactly how to correct this, and syncing is back to a couple seconds. Very happy!

I have been trying this app for about a week and even though I wasnt sure how to modify it to our families needs even using the tutorial, I watched the videos on YouTube and it helped a lot. We paid the full price for this app and I would recommend this to everyone. Our kids really enjoy it because I can put it on the other tablet and they can check what they have done and I can approve it before they receive the checks.

Made chores and screen management simpler for the whole family

I have tried about a half dozen apps to manage my kids allowance and this app is rock solid! It just works. The support is great as well but the thing that really popped was you can tell the person works on this puts a lot of passion and thought into the code. Things like local back up, iCloud sync saved my butt when I accidentally deleted my kids. It gets a little laggy on older iphone 4 and iPad 2 when you have 30 chores but it never errors and just works. Other apps are always crashing and not working once I start loading them up with chores. My only wish list is I wish there was a web admin so could onboard my kids faster but not that its done I really dont care as much that its missing that. It would be cool also if it worked with zapier.com so then when the kids check off there task it can trigger a zap so I can do stuff like play sound on my Amazon echo or send a text message if they forgot to do it. That would open up a few more options. But I love it!! So as long as you dont mind spending a few hours setting it up, once its setup its the most easy use app for allowance tracking I have found. Its Sweeet!! I dont do a lot of app reviews but this one deserves it cuz its awesome! Keep up the great work.

At first it is a bit intimating. Once you get the hang of it , its easy to use. Great app and very useful.

Ive been using this app with my kids for years. The main reason I got this app was to have their automatic allowance payments go into the bank of mom. My husband can also see how much money they had and the kids can track how they were spending their money. Now, they are teenagers and I use it to keep track of their cash flow. When they do extra chores and earn money, I deposit it in there and then pay them out cash, recording that entry as well. This eliminates any confusion about whether or not they got the money they were entitled to. And, I torture them by having set the task completion sound to the dramatic, "ta-da!" music. It makes me giggle every time.

Dont do it. I have two kids. No way to set chores for each kid. Or different chores on different days. I put in all kids information and the program reset itself after I put everything. I want my money back.

Not perfect, but really a great tool to help kids earn and manage money- allowing them to be able to spend "their" money while we are out without having to carry around actual dollar bills and change

I cant figure out what the banks are, what the difference between deposit and withdrawal is, or how to mark off a chore as complete

Before discovering this app, we attempted to give the kids cash every week which we often forgot. I have one that saves his money and would therefore have a lot of money in his room which became a problem. With this it automatically adds the allotted amount every week and we maintain it like a check book which I think is important for them to learn. We automatically have 10% go to savings and another 10% to charity which is important too. They can check on it anytime and it has been working great for us for over a year now.

Got this app in the hopes of being able to remember how much allowance my kids were owed - seems to be working! Took a little time to best figure out organizing chore lists my kids could easily review and do, but once done - a breeze to update. Syncing can be a little time-consuming sometimes with 2 adults and 3 kids.

I have a teen and a 10 year old. Told them they wouldnt get any more money from me without a chore in exchange. They are begging me to so chores now. Its pretty awesome. Tracking is easy and its very customizable.

I have been working with this app a few days now and am having horrible issues with it syncing on our IPad. We record stars and then they dont show immediately on the reward page. My kids are very frustrated. Seems to be ok on IPhone though
