My child loved savings goals that branched off from her main account and it was her main inspo for doing chores. However this was included in the free app but now you need to subscribe to get this feature. It’s really affected our use of the app. ### 5/5 — So great *2025-11-08* This app is excellent! Me and all my siblings and families have been using this app for YEARS. Better app than anything else ### 5/5 — Simple to use and effective *2025-10-01, version 2.0.264* Our precious allowance app went away and this was the perfect solution. Easy interface for maintaining our ‘virtual, accounts. ### 2/5 — Not free *2025-09-13, version 2.0.264* It will only allow a limited amount of transactions- at all- before you have to pay. I could tolerate limit per day or something. Frustrating to be cut off right after getting it all set up for my kids. ### 5/5 — Easy to set up & just what we needed *2025-09-08* We have two kids (8&5) who get an allowance (subdivided in 4 types) and periodic gifts from grandparents. We tried piggy banks, fake coins, etc but we would always forget and then guess how much they had when there was something they wanted. Bomad solves those problems and more! ### 5/5 — Customer service is prompt *2025-09-01, version 2.0.264* Thank you for working with me! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-08-25, version 2.0.256* This app is so easy to use and makes it so much easier to learn how to save and use your money wisely. ### 3/5 — App seems broken *2025-08-24, version 2.0.256* The app doesn’t seem to perform like it used to. I can no longer get a picture for each kids profile. Also when one kid adds money, it won’t let us go back to the screen that chooses each kids profile. The app seems broken. ### 5/5 — It’s amazing! *2025-08-09, version 2.0.256* I really like it, it really helps manage my child’s expenses ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-07-28, version 2.0.243* We use it our devices for our 3 kids (4, 6,9), they love it, it helps keep everyone on the same page. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not able to edit *2026-07-02, version 2.0.266* I can’t edit any of the transactions I already made and it’s really annoying I can’t delete them I can’t change them so I just have random transactions now ### 1/5 — False advertising as free *2026-05-14, version 2.0.266* This presents itself as a free app but that is a front. You can only try it out (5 transactions) before it locks you out of any functionality unless you pay an ongoing subscription. ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2026-05-02, version 2.0.266* It’s such a scam. They advertise it as free but after you set everything up and use 5 transactions, you are DONE unless you pay. There are better options out there. ### 1/5 — Loved but hated in the end *2026-02-19* I loved the app at the beginning but at a certain point i had to pay like a whole bunch of money to be able to add to my balance like why??? ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-01-06, version 2.0.264* Only allows about 5 entries before it completely locks you out. Very annoying considering the FAQs on the website say that the core functionality is free and they only charge for some features. ### 1/5 — $30/year *2025-12-17, version 2.0.264* This app is $30 a year to keep track of my kids $$ The “free” version you download allows you to make 5 transactions for free before you are required to pay 🤑🤑💸💸 ### 1/5 — Sooooooo bad!!! *2025-09-29, version 2.0.264* Sure,it’s great for saving money,but when my dad bought it for me l thought it was easier to save money but as always I was wrong.first of all,you can suggest what you did but it would not work unless your parents submit it.they are also able to delete your suggestion.it doesn’t actually delete though.it just stays where it was created except it is crossed out.I really don’t like it.I wish I could delete it.but my dad will get me in trouble.DON’T GET BOMAD!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Wiped All My Data and Free Version No Longer Available *2025-07-20* Been using this app for months. All of a sudden tonight I opened the app and all of my data was gone, and I had only 5 free transactions left. No way to retrieve the data that I lost, and no warning this was coming. Will be going to another app from now on. So disappointing for an app with such great fee features **Developer response:** Hi, your data is definitely not wiped - all data is stored securely on the server.

Je peux comprendre mais dans ce cas merci de ne pas nous faire croire qu’elle est gratuite. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2026-08-15* My old allowance/pocket money app got bought out by a bank so I had to find a new one. I searched for ages and tried half a dozen. There are new ones with debit cards and links to real accounts, but I was after just an app for keeping track of the virtual balances. This one is great, exactly what I was looking for. The QR code system is nice for setting up on the kid’s phones too. **Developer response:** Are you talking about NatWest buying Rooster Money? I had exactly the same problem and that's why I made Bomad :-) ### 5/5 — Tickle *2026-06-26, version 2.0.266* It tickles. ### 5/5 — just perfect *2026-03-30, version 2.0.266* perfect ### 5/5 — Great Little App *2026-03-22* I use this app quite regularly. Kids are also very interested in it and check it every week to keep track of their pocket money balance. The app developer is very helpful and responsive. He can be reached on Watsapp. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-20* Pocket Money Tracker is a brilliant app — simple, practical, and really easy to use. It makes managing pocket money straightforward, whether you’re tracking payments, setting chores, or helping children learn about saving and spending. The layout is clear, the features are useful without being overcomplicated, and it’s a great way to build good money habits in a fun and organised way. Highly recommended for families. ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-03-06* I love this app. It makes things easy to track with paying our kids and tracking what they’ve spent. I like how it handles multiple accounts within each kid, and how it seamlessly syncs. The customer service is fantastic - our little one recently accidentally deleted an account on it, and customer service had it back up within hours of me emailing them. ### 5/5 — Best system for kid money *2026-02-08* This has been life changing for actually keeping track of our kids' money! I cannot overstate this enough. I have tried keeping track on paper for years, and another allowance app and nothing had worked until now. We have a lot of kids and now we and they always know how much money they have. My husband and I use it for our personal money as well, and it has been great for that too. The only thing I wish is I could use it when I have no internet. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-30, version 2.0.266* This has worked great for my 8 and 10 year old!! ### 5/5 — Best Financial Organizational Tool… *2026-01-06* This app and software is the best financial organizational tool for kids I have found. The ability to have both parents linked and also the child to monitor balances has been convenient. We are able to keep the money in our bank or investments and basically be the bank for our daughter all while tracking her income and expenses. She monitors it frequently to know how much she can spend. I am happy with this download and recommend it to anyone with kids. ### 5/5 — Works and can be better *2026-01-02, version 2.0.264* Kids should be able to see first what their repeat transactions are so they know what they’re making money on immediately. Kids side should not allow view of the shorts or any videos and kids side should NOT be able to delete repeat transactions or accounts. It’s good they can add a goal but really - having parents go through the hassle of re-adding repeat transactions because a child was exploring the app non-maliciously is such a headache!! Otherwise - I love that it works across iPhone / android / and iPads as we use all in our family. BTW — BOMAD is a cool name - but I’m an aunty —- and we aunts and uncles — we love to help our littles with this app too— just saying --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
