Great App! But Keeps Crashing On iPad
We have been using this app for the last three weeks and my kids absolutely LOVE IT! They are so organized and have been looking forward to checking things off. I was surprised how much they appreciate the badges and family message board.
Only issue I’ve been having is: we leave an iPad mini in our family corner...where we keep school newsletters, sports schedules, etc. and the kids have been using the iPad to log in and manage the app. Our kids don’t have their own screens so this was the only way I could let them manage the app outside using my phone. But the app has been crashing on the iPad all week. Opens, starts to load, then closes. It’s the only app I’m having a problem with so I know it’s not device related. Would love an iPad specific app so it’s more compatible.Show less_MK712_
Doesn’t work on smaller phone screens
This app doesn’t work on my daughters phone as the screen is too small.Kristy-s
I hate this app
We used to use OurHome but when that stopped working I put a bit of time into trying to find a new chore app and settled on this one. I hate it every day that I have to use it, so many limitations, not helpful. I think I’m changing to a chart on the wall.
I’ve written to the developers number of times. Sometimes they answer sometimes they don’t and when they do it’s usually just to say oh sorry our app isn’t designed to do that.Show lesssloth8290
premium
It really is an amazing app and has helped me and my family tremendously.
My free trial ran out so i had decided to buy the premium however, When i had payed for it, i was unable to use any of the features that came with premium. I wanted to contact the company but i couldn't find an email address or phone number.Show lesscxrrlx
Registration glitch
I downloaded the app, started to set up an account but it wouldn’t let me finish. At one point of the set up (the step where it’s looking for chores to recommend based on your preferences), it kept on reverting back to the previous set up step. There was no option to skip the step or otherwise finish the setup. I’m disappointed because I chose it from a list of online recommendations and was looking forward to using it. But I don’t have time to wait for issues to be fixed, because I need a chore app now.
So I deleted this app since I obviously can’t use it and downloaded a different chore app that works.Show less20MN20
Thank you for keeping my neurodivergent family on task
We downloaded this app two weeks ago after reviewing chore apps/allowance trackers and this has exceeded all expectations so far. The chores are easy to customize for nearly every need. The only thing that would be nice (that I believe they are working on) is an option to set up the chore to show pending “until completed”. Sometimes deadlines need to be flexible so motivation isn’t lost.
My ADHD 8yo LOVES the instant gratification of points upon completion of chores (after parent approval if set up as such!). I can tell if it going to be an awesome tool for teaching money-sense too. You can save points, redeem them for rewards, give them to other family members and also cash them out.
As if the chores features were not enough, I LOVE the newly implemented “Do this…Don’t do that” section where you can customize bonuses and penalties. I use this section to track behavior. Things like “Don’t interrupt” or “Help your brother with something” don’t really fit in the chore section where they’re assigned to family members or put on a schedule or due at any specific time.
The admin team is actively present on the community page and responds to questions and requests about the app regularly. Keep up the good work, y’all!!!Show lessslsaggie
We are really enjoying this!
Our family is loving to have a creative and fun platform to make goals as a family, communicate and, work together to take care of all the daily needs.
I like that you can tailor the goals to fit your family style. My kids want to save up to go on special hikes and go camping… which are all the things I really want to do with them, but sometimes become difficult while just trying to get all of the chores done and take care of the family and our baby with special needs. Smaller goals look like a tub of ice cream, for an ice cream night.
The kids seem to be more understanding of the why behind the chores, and want to work together as we all want to go do these fun things! My incentives will look different than other families but, I love that we have that option to makes the goals to work toward that fit our individual families :) Well done app developers!Show lessTierra Belle doTerra

FANTASTIC APP. The only thing it's missing is a chronological order system. If I could put their chores in some sort of a personalized order instead of just grouped by time of day, it would be perfect!
The chores with multiple times a day, such as brush teeth, shows up at the very bottom so my kids miss it.Show lessRimom05
Love this!
I never leave reviews for hardly anything… least of all an app but this has been such a blessing in my household! I have a daughter who struggles staying on task and as a full-time, working single-mother it’s hard to keep her on track and parent her while I’m away.
S’mores up has allowed me to organize my household, hold my girls accountable, and teach them responsibility. I love that there is the option to forego the reward system but for us it helps keeps us motivated!
I only wish there was an option to create my own badges and more artwork options there too.Show lessgracyn0311
