SIMPLE AND FUN
iAllowance may look simple at first glance - the bookshelves and chalkboard make this app very approachable. However, iAllowance is a powerful family finance management system, allowing you to set up scheduled payouts, deduct expenditures, and show category totals - even search for a specific transaction!
SUPPORT FOR MULTIPLE CHILDREN
You can setup iAllowance to track the finances for all your kids, each with a separate photo for easy identification and as many banks as you desire.
UNLIMITED NUMBER OF BANKS
Kids are very busy these days. From general spending money to clothing allowances, gas money to cell phones accounts, kids and parents have a lot to keep track of in today's world. With iAllowance, you can create an unlimited number of banks for each of your kids. Each bank has its own transaction list where you can add, edit and delete transactions as often as you need to.
If you don't want to use real money, you can setup any bank to use stars or even time. Mix and match star, time and real money banks to make iAllowance work best for you. Furthermore, you can assign an optional interest rate to any of the banks to help teach your children the value of saving money over the long term.
AUTOMATIC ALLOWANCES
Let iAllowance do the remembering for you! It's easy to set up any number of allowances that will pay out automatically at repeating intervals. Each allowance can be set up to pay into one or more of the child's banks. There is no need to setup a single allowance for each bank.
CHORES
Track all your children's chores with iAllowance. Get your kids involved in the process and watch the chores get done! Use the reminders to push alerts to your kids - even if iAllowance is not running.
REWARDS
Kids are more motivated when they have goals to work towards. You can setup rewards that you can choose to 'cash in' when you child reaches the set goal.
PARENTAL CONTROLS
We feel that it's important to get your kids involved in managing their own finances, but it is also important that you have a choice as to whether or not they can edit the information. By turning on the built-in parental controls, you can restrict your kids to a view only mode while you maintain full editorial control for yourself.
INSTANT SYNC
You can instantly sync your data between devices using your free iAllowance account. All your data is backed up on your iAllowance account automatically. There is no need to worry about losing your data.
We are certain that iAllowance will meet all your family finance needs. So, make the leap with Jump Gap Software's iAllowance.
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!
Extremely 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 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.
Best 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
