The free version includes: • As many children and chores as you want, with no email needed to start. • Chores that happen once, or repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. • Daily, weekly, or monthly allowance, paid automatically or only after your approval. • Each child's savings and spending: add deposits, deduct purchases, or withhold future allowance payments. • Real money, or pretend currencies like Points, Smiley Faces, and Federation Credits. • Automatic sync across all your family's devices. • Link a child's iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch with a 6-digit code, with no need to share a password. • Apple Watch app and complications: kids see and check off their next chore on their wrist. • Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and the desktop on Apple silicon Macs: kids check off their next chore right from the widget. • Siri and Shortcuts: "What's my next chore?", check off a chore, record a purchase or a deposit, and more. • Chores and amounts read aloud for pre-readers. • An avatar or photo for each child. • An optional parental passcode that stops changes without your permission. • Help: ask a question and see, step by step, where to tap. • Dark mode and 11 languages. Premium adds: • Times of day: group chores by when they're done, like Morning, After school, and Bed time. • Homes: if your children live in more than one home, tie chores to a home and set a schedule like every other week or 2-2-3. • Chore pauses for vacations and sick days. • Reward chores that pay an amount for each chore completed. • Up-For-Grabs chores that several children can take, but only one does. • Chores that rotate between children daily, weekly, or monthly. • A photo on each completed chore, so you can see it was done. • A Chore Chart with every chore for all your children, several weeks back and ahead. • Extra accounts and savings goals for each child, with a percentage of payments moved into each automatically. • Allowance paid only when required chores are done, or in proportion to the chores completed. • Unfinished chores that stay on a child's list for extra days. • Chore reminders sent any time or at set times of day, and notifications for many more events. • Child passcodes that protect each child's Chores screen from siblings. • Unlimited history in the Ledger and the Graph. • Your choice of the order of children and chores, and which children each device shows. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
