- Designed to be educational for kids and to instill positive money habits

Ratings and Reviews
Tried Them All
Tried them all and this is the allowance app for us! Everything I want and nothing I don’t. Don’t need chores, stars, debit cards etc. Do need an app my kids can navigate themselves so they can check their balance whenever they want and get in the habit of entering their transactions, do need app synced to all devices, do need allowance to be paid automatically, LOVE the ability to pay them interest, do need a clear simple set-up with jars for their saving goals, do need a parent section to see all the kids’ accounts at once and easily make adjustments if needed. We use YNAB for our household budgeting; Guardian Savings is compatible with that mindset and flow so the kids can easily transition to YNAB and zero-based budgeting when they’re older.
The perfect app for many kids
We had tried several apps to keep up with the kids money, I never had cash for lost teeth or books read or extra chores - so I kept loosing track and because they couldn’t “see” it they were less motivated. This app changed all of that and has helped with everything. Kids are motivated to see their money, I can keep up and label things how I want. When they use their money I can simply deduct. We’ve all loved it. Way to go!
Almost 5 Stars
I just downloaded the app and so far I really like it. It’s not too complicated or have too many features. It’s perfect for my 7 year old. I love the intro video for the kids, being able to easily swap between the parent and kid interface is nice, I can’t wait to show my kid tonight. Hopefully he is as excited as me.
Please consider: The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I think it would be a nice feature to be able to turn off earning interest on individual jars. Currently it’s either on for all jars or off for all jars.
