### 5/5 — Great app!!!

*2025-11-29, version 4.1.10*

Features to consider
1. Collaborative task between kids. Each contributes points at their will.
2. Weekly/monthly tasks: e.g. a task needs to be completed only two times a week. After two occurrences, remove it from the list for that week.

### 5/5 — My review of thumsters

*2025-11-24, version 4.1.9*

It is over all a great app for tracking daily behavior and encouraging your child to do chores

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-11-09, version 4.1.8*

Tried on 2 different devices, can’t pass onboarding

### 3/5 — Please Fix Bugs

*2025-11-09, version 4.1.8*

I want to use this app so badly, but it keeps closing when I try to select my child's card.

### 3/5 — App drains battery fast, other issues

*2025-10-23, version 4.1.7*

Currently trialing this for my family and have ran into two issues so far.

Positive:
- Love the user and friendly UX
- Love the thumb system, chore chart, and rewards system

Issues so far:
- App drains A LOT of battery on my iPhone 16 Plus
- In app help center is broken, doesn’t allow me to even connect to the AI they use for support problems

Like this app and how feature rich it is compared to others like it. Would love for it to be improved further.

### 5/5 — Great- but has bugs

*2025-09-09, version 4.1.4*

Update/ the dev team is so responsive! They’ve fixed the bugs!!! Wow what an amazing experience! I don’t have to continuously reorganise the tasks anymore 🏅🏅🏅🏅 thank you!  Changed to 5 stars instead of 4! 

The app signs me out constantly and that’s a bit annoying. Organizing the tasks only applies to one day. The next day I have to reorganize them which is. Also annoying. The concept of this app is incredible! Love it! I wish they’d fix those 2 issues though!

### 5/5 — Very great

*2025-08-20, version 4.1.2*

So great and cheap unlike the rest

### 2/5 — Watch Compatibility Falls Short of Expectation

*2025-07-22, version 4.1.0*

This app has a great concept. However, both of my children use Apple Watches connected through my parent iPhone, and unfortunately, the app doesn’t function as expected. Although it claims to be compatible with Apple Watch, it requires each watch to be paired with its own iPhone or tablet to access any features. This limits its usefulness for families where children don’t have their own devices.

It would be much more effective if the parent could manage and push the app to the children’s watches independently of whether they have personal iPhones or tablets. We’ve decided to cancel our free trial and will continue using Apple’s built-in reminder and calendar apps to track chores and behaviors.

### 5/5 — Incredible app!

*2025-07-02, version 4.0.31*

What a great way to assign chores to the children. Love the way it reinforces good behavior and teach them how to keep track of their chores. Brilliant!

### 5/5 — Goodbye Star chart

*2025-06-22, version 4.0.31*

So helpful!  Will use with Grandkids!
