Privilege Points Chore Tracker 4+

I absolutely love this app! I’m a mother of four and it’s exhausting having to nag my teenagers to do their daily chores and hygiene tasks. Now I don’t have to! The responsibility is truly on them to either ignore the apps reminders or complete the task. And less nagging from me = happier home. They absolutely love the system-I even did some Level Up rewards where they could get free points after they earned so many! There’s really only two things I don’t like about the app. The first is if you set a mandatory daily task, it must be sent through even if the child chose not to do it. So if my teen decides they don’t want to clean the kitchen today, it will show up as a red notification telling them to complete it. They get annoyed by the red notification showing how many tasks aren’t done yet so I wish you could turn that off and ease their anxiety a bit. Second thing I don’t like is the display of daily tasks. It’s one big long list and can really feel overwhelming when you have the Zoomed text feature on your phone. It would be nice if it just had a square box showing the emojis and the kids could click on the emoji to see the task. It would also be nice if there were some pre-made tasks and rewards you could choose from a template. Other than that, I really love it. It’s our first week so I’m sure there’s more to love but it’s really been a lifesaver.

Love this app!!! We have tried so many systems for rewards and punishments with our kids, and this is the only thing that has worked. It’s free. It’s simple. It’s easily customizable. It’s shareable. And it works for multiple kids. It gives kids clear expectations and consequences. You have it wherever you go, so you can instantly add or take away points depending on behavior. Additionally, my husband and I can both access the account to add or subtract points; and we are notified when the other has awarded or removed points, so we are on the same page with parenting. We use it for chores, for positive reinforcement (of things like being kind or helpful or honest), for creating good habits (brushing teeth, being ready for the bus on time, for making your bed, etc), and for accountability (getting along with siblings or being respectful to parents/teachers/bus driver). You choose privileges that they really want to work toward earning and consequences that you know they want to avoid....and the nice thing is that you choose whatever you want and however many points it’s worth. I also appreciate that when you implement a privilege or consequence that has a time limit (like 1 hour of computer time), it automatically starts a timer when you award that privilege/penalty. Great app! Great tool!

Privilege Points is such an awesome and powerful app. Once you create your own custom list of chores (called "tasks") and rewards (called "privileges"), magic starts happening. We use it for earning 30-minute blocks of screen time--they don't get screen time unless they've earned it and when their 30 minutes are up, the screen goes off. Privilege Points has a built-in timer that alerts me on my phone and Apple Watch when time is up and I'm no longer The Bad Guy who turns off the screen--I just point to the timer. I'm not ashamed to say that my kids used to whine for screen time and sometimes pitch a fit when I turned it off, but now they ask me how many points they have and what they can do to earn them. They take out the trash and recycling, unload and load the dishwasher, feed the pets, clean their room, and even wipe down the toilet seat without complaining and melting down. They've become totally proactive about doing their chores! People ask me how I get my kids to help out so much and behave so well and I tell them to get Privilege Points and use it religiously.
