Was an amazing app until it decided it didn’t want to work all I get now is sync error mulitiple validation error message which is disappointing as this app worked well for my kids

Review

The app is great. Being able to add additional family members and custom rewards or wrong behaviour is super. The kids seem to be engaging with it well. It could be improved by to be able to customise the child’s photo/ profile picture. Otherwise the best free rewards app I have seen so far.

Great for tracking behaviour and rewards

Love this app!!!

It helps with my sons emotions and he loves earning points and gets upset when he loses points but is ready to earn points

Doesn’t work

Makes you do full set up and then ‘server error’ and doesn’t work! Such a shame

Was a good app

I used to use this app every day and loved it. Unfortunately the app updated, logged me out and there is no password reset so everything is lost. Back to paper chards and reward stickers for us!

Great incentive!

Kids of 9 and 6 definitely respond to this app

Brilliant

Fantastic App! Really works. My kids behaviour has improved overall, and they get real rewards at the end of it. Great! It’s become part of the family

Frustrating

Difficult to edit once you set up a board. Purchased the year subscription (with 1 month trial period) and was charged right away. I assumed I’d have the trial period before being charged. Not pleased with this app.

Very abelilest

This app has things like eye contact and social tone as good behaviors. Now you may not relive it but why your child doesn’t make eye contact is because it ether is very uncomfortable or physically painful and you would never want to put your child through pain. And making “social tones” is forcing your child to put on a fake face for people so that you are not ashamed. If you want to reword your child for doing something hard then do but not through an ableist app that calls it a good or bad behavior

Buggy Lately

Was working fine for a while then logged me out. Tried to sign back in gave me the message
“the data couldn’t be read because it Isn’t in the correct format” tried creating a new account and the same message appeared. Also I find it alarming that there isn’t a “forgot password?” To assist in recovering an account through email if I forget the password. I spent a good amount of time creating the perfect custom layout and rewards and I would rather not have to do it again.

Great Free App!

It’s working well so far for our 4 year old son. I love that it lets you share to multiple devices all for free.

Love it!

We are loving this app. The kids like they can trade their smiles for rewards and I like that I can give them smiles and frowns anytime.

Kids love it

Works great for motivating positive behavior or negating the negative.

Easy to use!

My daughter has autism and this has been a great way to help her with behaviors! I always have my phone with me so I can immediately reward her instead of a paper chart at home.

So far so good

My kids love earning smiles and it’s a great way to review the day and talk about the choices the kids made especially when they get frowns! I also love that I can add a comment about what was happening at the time to remind me to revisit and discuss the behavior later. It’s great for setting goals for the next day and talking about specific areas they can improve. It gets them to be more responsible for their behavior as well as reflect on their choices. The only thing this app is missing is I would love a sound effect to go with the smiles to get the kids even more excited so it’s like a mini celebration when they do good. We have one of those expensive good timers and this is so much more convenient on the go and gives much better feedback on their behavior !

Love this

Motivates the children to be on their best behaviour and the main features are free. Thanks for creating something like this. Whoever came up with it is brilliant.

Great idea!

We’ve been on this for two days now. So far, it’s working great to motivate my 12 and 8 year old daughters! The only thing is I wish they had a slightly “older kid” version instead of smiles and frowns - maybe thumbs up and down? The last two days we’ve had a noticeable reduction in outbursts, fights, and improvement on their attitudes 👏🏻👏🏻 thank you! I will update in a month on our progress!

Custom behaviors a plus

This app works well as a visual for my child. It’s pretty easy to use. I like that has a cost response for negative behavior not just positives. My child needs the balance. I also value the ability to create custom behaviors. That ability is what made me choose it above other apps!

You can’t add a custom frown

When added from the frowns daily adding, it ends up in “smiles”, and can’t be changed
