Great app!!!
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.

My review of thumsters
It is over all a great app for tracking daily behavior and encouraging your child to do chores
Crashing
Tried on 2 different devices, can’t pass onboarding
Please Fix Bugs
I want to use this app so badly, but it keeps closing when I try to select my child's card.
App drains battery fast, other issues
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.

Great- but has bugs
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!

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Great news! We have released the update to allow sorting of tasks that are recurring, so your task sorting will apply to all instances of that task for that day and all in the future. With regards to the log out issue, this is unusual. We would love to understand what might be causing this issue. Please reach out to support either in app or on our website and they will assist.
Very great
So great and cheap unlike the rest
Watch Compatibility Falls Short of Expectation
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.

Thank you for your feedback. The Watch functionality was only ever originally meant for the use by parents and not by the children but we can also see your use case. We will take what you have said into consideration and discuss it with our developers to see if this is something that is possible in a future release.
Incredible app!
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!
Goodbye Star chart
So helpful! Will use with Grandkids!
Life-Changing!
This app has truly changed the way we parent and the climate of our household! We used to become so frustrated after saying the same things again and again, when in reality, we weren’t speaking, our kids language. The Thumsters app has bridged that gap and motivated our children to see the value in chores, kindness, selflessness, and going out of the way to help others. What first was motivated by receiving “thumbs up”, is now motivated by the way, they see their actions affecting others around them. We are so grateful we found the Thumsters app!

Wow! We are so thankful that it is having such a positive impact in your family.
Looping
Looks like a really cool app….if I could actually get into it. It keeps looping back to how the thumbs up and down function works, and then takes me along to the subscription page. This has happened about 4x now and it doesn’t seem to recognize that I’ve ALREADY done all this. I’d signed up for the free trial, but have now canceled since it’s stuck, and I can’t get past the front door.

Leveled up our parenting
Love this app, started using it for my 10 yr old & TEENS!
Help
I can’t figure out another way to get help, hopefully this works. We love the app and it’s been really helpful but I can’t figure out how to use the thumbucks? And the ‘lock in thumbucks’ button isn’t working. Help please!
Good app
Good app but the notifications are annoying because you can’t turn off the thumbs up notifications without turning off all the notifications in the OS settings
Working great!
After exploring this app on the App Store and then experiencing it firsthand, I have been absolutely blown away. The design is exceptional, the interface is incredibly intuitive, and the overall user experience is seamless. Every feature feels thoughtfully implemented, making navigation effortless and enjoyable. I came across a prior review mentioning glitches or usability issues, but my experience has been completely the opposite—everything runs smoothly and flawlessly. This app truly sets a new benchmark for usability and functionality.

Uhhhh
So I downloaded this game,exited for my kids to try it, but as soon as my FINGER touched the game icon it just crashes, this has happened for 2 days or so
Glitchy
I thought I’d found the perfect app but unfortunately it’s full of glitches. I’m constantly being asked to subscribe and having to restore purchase, family members keep getting disconnected and needing adding again and thumbs are sometimes missing causing upset when my children log on. App support try their best to help but blame it on not having the latest version, despite 3 out of the 5 devices having the latest version and this issue happening on those too. A shame really as it’s not work paying for in this state.

100% great app
Getting our kids engaged in setting goals and boundaries is life changing. These are skills and habits that set them up for a great future.
Chores?
Advertised as a chore tracking app, but really is just a reward tracking tool. No way to track specific chores/routines.
