Reward Charts by Stellar 4+

Fun motivator

My kids love the thrill of putting a star in its place, hearing the sound effects, and seeing glitter! This has really helped motivate my 4 and 6 year old for homeschooling and other tasks. It’s a simple, helpful tool. We like that we can make multiple star charts for multiple people. When we finish a chart, we have the option to make the same one again (archived charts).

Unfortunately, the app frequently freezes up and needs to be closed and reopened.

I also wish there was an option to easily clear a chart. We like to give prizes for stars earned each week and then start fresh the next week, but there isn’t a simple way to do this. We have to either create a new chart or delete stars earned in the current chart.

Great!

This is a great app. Dragging stars into place and sound effects are very motivating. It would be fantastic if there is an option to select the number of stars for each chart instead of always 10, the ability to reuse a chart after completion, starting over if necessary and removing stars if necessary. Thank you.

Thanks so much for your review (and ideas!). As it happens I've been working on adding the option to select different numbers of stars for each chart. The update is nearly ready -- look for it soon! After that the next big feature I'm planning is "favorite charts" you can re-use -- so we are very much on the same wavelength :-) Oh- and it is possible to remove stars if necessary, by "editing" the chart. See the in-app help for a bit more info, and don't hesitate to reach out with any other questions (or thoughts)! - feedback@stellarapp.com Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review!

Kids daily/weekly chores

The app is a nice idea but it’s not flexible enough. I don’t like that I can’t set a custom goal of stars, it’s preset options like 7, 10, 20 and that doesn’t fit our needs. I also don’t like that once they’ve achieved all the “stars” or “stickers” the chart is “archived” and no longer a goal to work on. There needs to be an option that the chart just clears to start over. My kids have daily and weekly things to complete and each sticker or star they earn goes towards video game time on the weekend. For example “I will get read for school appropriately and in time in the morning”. I would also rather see ALL the goals listed altogether under one child rather than have to swipe to each one. Overall the app falls short and I probably won’t use it, but it was only worth $5.

Hi Vayrah,
Sorry to hear Stellar didn't fit your needs. One small clarification in case it helps -- I recently added the ability to start a new chart based on the information from a completed chart with one tap, so it's easy to "re-start" a chart (and still have the completed chart(s) as a reference of achievements :-)
In any case, thank you for giving it a try.
Best,
David
