Thumsters - Parenting App 4+

This has been very helpful for my 10 year old. I paid for the subscription and was never able to access any of the additional functions that are supposed to be available through that. After I already paid it continued to tell me that those functions were only available through the subscription, when I clicked on subscription it informed me I already had a subscription. I cancelled the subscription but still use the app- would live to access additional features.

Update- I am changing my review to 5 stars. After leaving my original review the developer reached out to me and fixed the bug that was keeping me from accessing all of the options. This was a very fast and painless process and I love the features that I’m able to now access. This is an amazing app and is one of the best tools to help my child! Thank you Thumbsters!

Hi there. So Sorry to hear you had issues. Could you please contact support@thumsters.com and we will help resolve this for you.

We have been big fans of the Thumbster App for the past 2 years and I always recommend it to friends. BUT the biggest draw for me was the ability to give a thumbs up from my iWatch. I didn’t have to have my phone on me and I could do it quickly and more frequently (thus generating more positive feedback for my kids). Plus it eliminated the begging of my kids to do their thumbs up from my phone. When the big app upgrade happened, the watch program disappeared and ever since then I don’t use it as frequently. I try hard not to be on my phone constantly so I just got out of the habit of giving thumbs to my kids. And when I do pull it out they always want to do it themselves, which adds even more time to the process which deters me from wanting to readily give thumbs ☹️ The best part of Thumbsters vs. sticker charts was that you didn’t have to be around it to give the “sticker”. Once you start to forget about giving them out, the kids loose their motivation and thus stop trying with the positive behavior. Loosing the iWatch capability has been a huge setback for us so I’m going to start actively looking for a new program that is iWatch compatible. If you add it back, please let me know!!

Hey there, thank you very much for your detailed feedback and recommending Thumsters over the years. We can ensure you that the Thumsters Apple Watch extensions is very close to being released. We are currently in the final stages of testing. The best way to stay up to date with any new releases is via our social channels on Instagram and Facebook.

I never ever write reviews- but this app is something of a miracle worker. I will start by saying it does depend on the age of kids. When my kids were 3 and 4 I downloaded this app and we tried it and it didn’t fit our lives. They are now 7 and 8 and it has changed our lives over night.

The beautiful thing about this app is how simple it is and customizable the ups and downs are for behavior change. My son just achieved his first goal and the animation is a reward in itself. If you’re trying to change behaviors this is the app for you.

I’m a customer for the next 10 years or so and I’m looking forward to new premium packages with reports to download and a kid view companion app. This company has the secret sauce and I give them great kudos for creating such an amazing app!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It really means a lot to us when we hear that Thumsters makes a big difference to a family :)

Stay tuned, updates are coming soon!
