  • It does the job

    Your first board is free, well
    It was for a month and then it asked me to buy one, but at $1.49 it was worth it. It's so easy to
    Use and my kids well they have jumped into shape since using it and we have a blended family so step brothers and sister all competing or fighting.....it works well.

    Cons: the darn thing asks you to log in every time
    You open the app, which is annoying but for me the app is more useful then annoying but it needs to be fixed before a less bugged copycat version comes along

    Over all this app is fantastic but still needs work

  • App shut down and couldn’t connect with FB

    Tried to start a new account by linking Facebook to the app; the app gave an error within FB, and when I hit okay, the app and FB shut down. I thought this would be a cool app for my children, but you all obviously have some R&D to perform to work the links/kinks/errors out.
  • Changed to paid version without warning!?!

    I'm very disappointed as I was forced to login today in the free version and all the information that I had for my three kids had been completely erased!!! Without warning!!! How do I explain that to my kids? Not cool! If you had warned me about it, I would have considered buying the paid version. But I am not going to play your silly bait and switch game!

  • Great When It Works

    I realize that this any newer app is bound to have a few bugs, and will adjust my rating accordingly as it (hopefully) improves. I immediately loved its simplicity. I tried the 'Around the House' board first, and realized that the custom board would work better, so I purchased and customized it. It's great for my family, and I love that my husband can also stay up to date on the kids' behavior while he's working out of town. After using it for a few hours, I also purchased the ad-free version. Today has been my second day using it, and it's now crashing every time I attempt to view the *rewards page. Hopefully this is a quick and easy fix, not only because I've spent more than I normally do on apps, but because I really do like the format and look forward to using it regularly.

    *I was actually trying to access the page to send a screen shot and recommend it to my friends.

    -Update: A few weeks later, it still isn't working. REALLY disappointed!

    -Update 2: A couple more weeks and still nothing! I'm removing a star from my rating. I paid for extra features in this app and I can't even use it.

  • Deleting this app

    Isn't that intuitive and st first appears free. Within 5 minutes of installing found that adding behaviours to reward was 79p each! Deleting this app.
  • 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

    I cannot even get the stars to work. I get an error message any time I try to add value. Also, the UX is terrible.
  • Elementary School Teacher

    As a teacher and parent, I love the versatility, accountability, and flexibility that are built into this app. It goes far beyond the traditional, and often cumbersome, behavior charts used in many schools because one child’s progress can be easily accessed and updated by multiple staff members and caregivers, as invited by the board creator. The app includes ready-to-go pre-built boards tailored to specific situations, such as classroom behavior or doing chores, and customizable boards make it easy for teachers and parents to create behavior lists tailored to their specific students or children. I love the currency system because it gives children a tangible and clear view of their specific behavioral challenges and strengths, motivating them to earn more “smiles” than “frowns.”
