4/5I almost love it!
I love how easy it is to keep track of how much my kids have earned. It's great for on the go when we're at the store and they see something they really want, I can quickly check if they have enough money. Love that I can predetermine their savings and charity money and it works automatically. Some reviewers said navigation was hard, but I found it fairly intuitive. Yes, it takes a little bit of time to figure the app out, but it's not terrible. I do have two complaints though... I have always based my kids allowance on the amount of chores they've completed (getting the stars), but there is no option for this. They get their allowance whether they've done their stuff or not. I have to manually do a transaction to take money away that they didn't earn. I really wish there was an option to base allowance on stars. (Or keep it the same way since some people do pay the same every week no matter what.) Not sure why I put in there that each star was worth 10¢ because it doesn't really matter. Also, I've been able to sync to my iPad and my son's iPod, but not my other son's iPod. I've tried both the opulence syncing (all of their iPods are I my account) and through Dropbox, but for some reason it always syncs with the one iPod but not the other. It makes it hard when I have 4 kids trying to record their jobs everyday...they always want to record all at the same time, of course. If those two things worked, this app would be perfect in my opinion!

5/5Extremely responsive developer and great app!
I never write reviews, but I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now, and it does exactly what I need it to do. It automatically adds allowance into the various categories for my three kids AND automatically subtracts money for my oldest’s cellphone service. And then adding or subtracting money based on what they’ve been gifted or spent is very easy. I really love it, and the paid version is totally worth it! But beyond that, my husband’s phone took a bath, and he had to recreate everything he had on it. That caused an issue where our data disappeared (long story), which would have been horrible for my kids to try to figure out who had what. However, Jim, the developer, was SO VERY responsive. He worked very hard and very quickly, even over a weekend, getting our data back and onto the newer version of the app. Everything is back and all set! Since the app now has a login and password, we are quite unlikely to ever have the syncing issue again. I have never dealt with such friendly and responsive tech support in my life!! As you can see, I think the app is wonderful, but more importantly, the developer is committed to making sure it works. Thank you for this great app and tech support!!!

5/55 years and still happy!
Our family truly loves this app. W started using this app 5 years ago to initially track allowance for my two young children. Holding onto actual cash became daunting. It has been a great training tool for teaching them how to manage their money. Once, many moons ago, we had a glitch and the support was great and solved our problem. (my error, not the developers) We have it set up for Spend, Save, and Share. Each week their allowance is divided up and automatically placed in their “banks”. Birthday money and holiday gifts get added to The Spend account. We used to use it for chores and although it worked well in the app, it didn’t work for our family’s needs. We have used the rewards part when they were young but now that they are teenagers it isn’t needed. I have many friends using iAllowance now with much success.

3/5Best app for chores and rewards!!
I have been using this app for years and love it. I have tried several other apps but this is by far the most versatile there is. It takes a little while to figure out but can customize own chores for each kid and can make them appear only on days you select. You can also pay an allowance either in reward money dollar amount or set up to reward in stars then kids select from things they can use stars(rewards). I use the money system feature and set up banks for each of my kids. It works just like a regular bank. It will automatically add whatever dollar amount you set up per chore or per day if they do their chores. When you check their chore as complete, it will automatically add money to their account. I can also add deposits such as money they get for their birthday etc. An optional feature is that you can set up and use is you can have each kid have a savings account and set it up so it will take a percent weekly or daily such as 25% of their earnings from allowance will go into savings account. This is the best app for kids. The developers have put a great deal of effort into this program. I don’t understand the negative views. My guess is they didn’t take the time to work through the program to figure out how to customize. It does take a little while to customize it to your own needs and set up. Another great thing is that there is no annual fees. The only thing I would change now is to somehow make it interface with Alexa. I set up iAllowance with its own password protection as I didn’t want my kids giving themselves raises or extra stars. IAllowance does let them view it without having to put in password but only a few of my kids have their own device to be able to do this. I think if they could add Alexa somehow my kids could ask Alexa what their chores were for today. Just a thought. Thank you, for such a great app!! Kevin

5/5Almost perfect
I never write reviews but felt compelled for people like myself who are searching for a chore monster replacement. There are so many options/everything I could think of (& laid out clearly) for how you want to set up an allowance, chore chart, etc. Eg you can have a point/star based system, cash, screen time or any combination of these. For rewards, you can set up a simple “buying” rewards list or you can set up transferring points/etc to various banks (in a way that reminds me of writing a check/will teach concept of banking). My kids are 9/10 so I set up both ways. Set up takes forever but it’s easy to edit once you have put in the initial info. You can copy/paste entire kid profile which is nice. MY WISH LIST FOR DEVELOPER: 1. Glitch fix? —Make star to screen time conversion able to do seconds/ .50. (I carefully set up all my star/reward system. As you know, that took forever. But I need 1 star = 30 sec/.50 or I have to change the whole point system to use the screen time bank 🙁. 2. Glitch fix - Be able to erase non used bank icons from shelf. 3. Surely there is an easier way to sync on mult devices & only give parent’s device editing writes in set up. 4. Ability to get notification when chores are checked off & notification to approve redeemed reward on parents phone. 5. Ability to use on computer (particularly when setting up). 6. Ability to download a kids profile (so another parent can use as starting point for their purchased app) 7. Glitch fix - Under “Reward”, kids are given the option to withdrawal OR deposit (even though in set up, parent picked only withdrawal). Kids could just hit this button to get as many stars, etc they want 🙁

"title": "I almost love it!",
"body": "I love how easy it is to keep track of how much my kids have earned. It's great for on the go when we're at the store and they see something they really want, I can quickly check if they have enough money. Love that I can predetermine their savings and charity money and it works automatically. Some reviewers said navigation was hard, but I found it fairly intuitive. Yes, it takes a little bit of time to figure the app out, but it's not terrible. I do have two complaints though... I have always based my kids allowance on the amount of chores they've completed (getting the stars), but there is no option for this. They get their allowance whether they've done their stuff or not. I have to manually do a transaction to take money away that they didn't earn. I really wish there was an option to base allowance on stars. (Or keep it the same way since some people do pay the same every week no matter what.) Not sure why I put in there that each star was worth 10¢ because it doesn't really matter. Also, I've been able to sync to my iPad and my son's iPod, but not my other son's iPod. I've tried both the opulence syncing (all of their iPods are I my account) and through Dropbox, but for some reason it always syncs with the one iPod but not the other. It makes it hard when I have 4 kids trying to record their jobs everyday...they always want to record all at the same time, of course. If those two things worked, this app would be perfect in my opinion!",

"title": "Extremely responsive developer and great app!",
"body": "I never write reviews, but I’ve been using this app for a couple of years now, and it does exactly what I need it to do. It automatically adds allowance into the various categories for my three kids AND automatically subtracts money for my oldest’s cellphone service. And then adding or subtracting money based on what they’ve been gifted or spent is very easy. I really love it, and the paid version is totally worth it! But beyond that, my husband’s phone took a bath, and he had to recreate everything he had on it. That caused an issue where our data disappeared (long story), which would have been horrible for my kids to try to figure out who had what. However, Jim, the developer, was SO VERY responsive. He worked very hard and very quickly, even over a weekend, getting our data back and onto the newer version of the app. Everything is back and all set! Since the app now has a login and password, we are quite unlikely to ever have the syncing issue again. I have never dealt with such friendly and responsive tech support in my life!! As you can see, I think the app is wonderful, but more importantly, the developer is committed to making sure it works. Thank you for this great app and tech support!!!",

"body": "Our family truly loves this app. W started using this app 5 years ago to initially track allowance for my two young children. Holding onto actual cash became daunting. It has been a great training tool for teaching them how to manage their money. Once, many moons ago, we had a glitch and the support was great and solved our problem. (my error, not the developers) We have it set up for Spend, Save, and Share. Each week their allowance is divided up and automatically placed in their “banks”. Birthday money and holiday gifts get added to The Spend account. We used to use it for chores and although it worked well in the app, it didn’t work for our family’s needs. We have used the rewards part when they were young but now that they are teenagers it isn’t needed. I have many friends using iAllowance now with much success.",

"title": "Best app for chores and rewards!!",
"body": "I have been using this app for years and love it. I have tried several other apps but this is by far the most versatile there is. It takes a little while to figure out but can customize own chores for each kid and can make them appear only on days you select. You can also pay an allowance either in reward money dollar amount or set up to reward in stars then kids select from things they can use stars(rewards). I use the money system feature and set up banks for each of my kids. It works just like a regular bank. It will automatically add whatever dollar amount you set up per chore or per day if they do their chores. When you check their chore as complete, it will automatically add money to their account. I can also add deposits such as money they get for their birthday etc. An optional feature is that you can set up and use is you can have each kid have a savings account and set it up so it will take a percent weekly or daily such as 25% of their earnings from allowance will go into savings account. This is the best app for kids. The developers have put a great deal of effort into this program. I don’t understand the negative views. My guess is they didn’t take the time to work through the program to figure out how to customize. It does take a little while to customize it to your own needs and set up. Another great thing is that there is no annual fees. The only thing I would change now is to somehow make it interface with Alexa. I set up iAllowance with its own password protection as I didn’t want my kids giving themselves raises or extra stars. IAllowance does let them view it without having to put in password but only a few of my kids have their own device to be able to do this. I think if they could add Alexa somehow my kids could ask Alexa what their chores were for today. Just a thought. Thank you, for such a great app!! Kevin",

"body": "I never write reviews but felt compelled for people like myself who are searching for a chore monster replacement. There are so many options/everything I could think of (& laid out clearly) for how you want to set up an allowance, chore chart, etc. Eg you can have a point/star based system, cash, screen time or any combination of these. For rewards, you can set up a simple “buying” rewards list or you can set up transferring points/etc to various banks (in a way that reminds me of writing a check/will teach concept of banking). My kids are 9/10 so I set up both ways. Set up takes forever but it’s easy to edit once you have put in the initial info. You can copy/paste entire kid profile which is nice. MY WISH LIST FOR DEVELOPER: 1. Glitch fix? —Make star to screen time conversion able to do seconds/ .50. (I carefully set up all my star/reward system. As you know, that took forever. But I need 1 star = 30 sec/.50 or I have to change the whole point system to use the screen time bank 🙁. 2. Glitch fix - Be able to erase non used bank icons from shelf. 3. Surely there is an easier way to sync on mult devices & only give parent’s device editing writes in set up. 4. Ability to get notification when chores are checked off & notification to approve redeemed reward on parents phone. 5. Ability to use on computer (particularly when setting up). 6. Ability to download a kids profile (so another parent can use as starting point for their purchased app) 7. Glitch fix - Under “Reward”, kids are given the option to withdrawal OR deposit (even though in set up, parent picked only withdrawal). Kids could just hit this button to get as many stars, etc they want 🙁",
