Chorsee - Chores Tracker 4+

Awesome App

This app is amazing. Not only has it encouraged my kids to help out around the house, but it also helps them learn the value of money! My kids used to slouch around and watch TV all day. I tried everything such as setting screen times, adding punishments and even taking the batteries out of the remote. I thought it was a lost cause, until one day they came home talking about wanting money. I searched the Internet for an good quality chore app, with money allowances, and an app that didn’t look so baby-ish. When I found Chorsee, I downloaded the app and added my kids. When they saw that they could get money, they immediately started doing chores. They were even doing more than what was on their roster! They learned the value of money when they asked if they could have money for things like candy, games and toys. I told them it would come from their chore money, and their expressions suddenly changed. They didn’t realize that the money they got, was their actual allowance. Nowadays they really think before the buy something, since the money is coming from their own pocket. Thanks for creating a great app!

Started out great

I needed a way to assign chores to my three kids and I was trying a bunch of different chores apps. This one seemed to be the best by far! Easy to use, easy to set up and easy for the kids. So I tried it out for a while before deciding to buy it for the year. That was a mistake. Not sure why but once I bought the upgraded version the problems started. Everything looks correct on mine but my son was the first to tell me he had one chore on there twice. At first I didn’t think much of it I said just check them both off. But then the next day my daughter had chores missing on her list. When I looked on my master list they were on there but when I looked on hers she was right some just didn’t show up. I actually spent a good amount of time looking at everything to see if I somehow messed something up. Everything was set up correctly and my app had everything looking the way it was supposed to be but their apps didn’t always have the same as mine. Since purchasing the upgrade everyday there is at least one chore doubled or missing from at least one kids list. Some two kids get the same chore on their list when it’s supposed to rotate between them and it’s set up correctly. I’m kicking myself that I purchased the upgrade. Wish I would have left it alone while it was working perfectly.

Thanks for letting me know! The upgrade doesn't change how the rotation or chores work.

Feel free to reach out via email if you haven't already so I can take a closer look. I have been doing some work on the connectivity issues that sometimes happen and cause schedules to temporarily get out of sync.

New To App

Update to my previous comment. The developer is SO RESPONSIVE and extremely helpful! He has taken my suggestions into consideration to put some of the changes in the next update. Such as putting the chores in order by day instead of alphabetical order. Thank you Ben for ALL of your help and guidance!

I may change my review later. I just started using this app. I love how easy it is to use and you can put a passcode in so only the parent can update the information. I love that you can add it as a widget on the Home Screen. I do wish we could do the following: Add our own photos for chores Chores show up in order by day it needs to be completed instead of alphabetical. Schedule when chore must be completed Minus funds if not done on time Move funds if they want to have a savings and spend account. On the main page for the children to show how much they have earned and saved. If there was a checklist that the children need to complete so they know they finished everything expected of that chore. (Example: wipe cabinets, sweep floor, mop floor, windex glass door).

Thank you the feedback!

These are some great ideas, many of them already prioritized! I look forward to seeing if I can earn an updated rating from you.
