Pretty good, but some weak spots
Full disclosure, I’m an iOS engineer for over 10 years, so I’m a little biased. I hope this review is seen as an opportunity to improve some experiences, not just me being critical.
Overall, the app is pretty decent! My gripes with it are fairly minor, there are just several of them that led to my 3 star review. Primary frustrations are relating to uploading photos (that whole experience is majorly lacking in UX awareness) and the new rewards system. It’s so difficult to figure out what my kids have redeemed stars on, when that should be sent immediately via push notification. There should also be an “activity log” where I can see what has been done throughout the day (ie. chores marked off/reassigned, events changed, rewards redeemed, stars earned, etc.). Lastly, no dark mode? At least not one that is apparent.
Again, overall it’s decent! Really glad I bought the device, and the plus subscription is totally worth it. I’m excited to see how the device and companion app improve over time.
