Irewardchart App Reviews

Love this app but I wish it had a bit more flexibility in how the points and rewards are shown to the children.

This app is super helpful. The $3.99 premium price isn’t too bad for what the app can do. Customize behaviors, points, rewards, etc. However, this would’ve been 5 Stars if the developer was not trying to make me pay $3.99 for every device I use that’s signed into my Apple ID. I understand why, but I can’t bring myself to upgrade to premium on my wife’s phone and both our iPads when they’re all signed into the same account.

Great app but can’t delete tasks that have stars awarded. Would be nice to truly change what my kid is working on.

I had reset my iPad and my paid app disappeared and wouldn’t allow me to put it back on. Customer support fixed the issue and helped me out. They were fast efficient and helpful. I love this app as it helps me keep track of my kids did it lists.

Good concept - bad execution. If you want to reward all of your children you need to upgrade. Even if you do upgrade you have to PAY to upgrade on both parents devices even if it’s on family share. Keep Searching

Update: After waiting for about a week, I was finally able to access the upgraded features. The app has been great as far as the behavior/reward function goes for our 4 year old. Our oldest thrives on rewards so we like that we can access a reward system anywhere, not just at home. The interface could be a little more user friendly for setting things up, but it just takes getting used to where to find each feature. My biggest gripe is that I paid $3.99 for the upgrade a week ago so I could also add my 2 year old and have not been able to access the upgraded features! I’ve contacted the developers twice about this issue. I heard back once only with info explaining what the upgrade entails but not resolving the problem. I still have no results and am very frustrated! If the problem is ever resolved and I’m satisfied, I will update my review.

this app is a LIFESAVER. i don’t know how i loved without it before. it makes spending time with my 18 year old boyfriend so much easier and he responds really well to the reward system. such a great and encouraging app to use.

UPDATE- AFTER UNLINKING MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT THE APP WORKED; ***HOWEVER*** AFTER UPDATING TO iOS 11.1 the APP NO LONGER EVEN OPENS 😣 After setting up kids in irewards, I sing to my account with my Facebook. Ever sense the app will not open. I deleted the app and reinstalled, which deleted everything I had set up. Basically if you don't feel like doing a bunch of work for nothing don't hit the select to sync with Facebook option!!! Developers finally wrote me back and told me error would be fixed with next update -who knows when that will be! If you're thinking about purchasing this app and the last it was updated was May 2017, then don't bother wasting your money! Hopefully they resolve this issue soon, because it has the potential to be very useful

Good app but went to get on today and everything gone won't login and doesn't register that I paid for it

Sync feature doesn't work, nor does collaborate - how are two parents supposed to work together on this thing if they can't see the same kids???!!!! Can't believe I wasted $3 on this POS

I tried chore charts and much more but they never stuck, this is the perfect app they can see what the rewards are and I can keep track of what's being done and what needs worked on!!!!

Our boy does so well with this!! He loves changing his red stars to gold ones and he responds so well to the rewards! We love this app!!

I started using the app a few days ago .It is less complicated than other apps .Much much less .Easy to use I tried many other apps .This is the best so far .

I just tried this app with my grandson. So far it's great, I like the customization of tasks and rewards. Would like to be able to create categories and have the ability to add negative points. A reward system should include both not just one. Also I accidently added points and found like I've read in other review impossible to remove. So I had to redeem the points I accidentally gave by creating one speciffically designed to remove those points. By doing so however, it did not remove them from the "Points Earned" it only reflected in the "Current Balance" If the ability to award negative points and remove accidentlly awarded points and have them reflect int eh "Points Earned" this app would recieve five stars from me

I bought the app but it doesn't do what I need it to. I was hoping to send it to my teens phones daily as a reminder of what we expect of them.

Pretty good so far with my kids:) Can you add a password for only parents to give kids credits?

So I have three children from the ages of 10, 8, & 4 and the responded very positively to this app. It's great because it's instant gratification and also it's on my phone which is easy access. My oldest has autism and he really responded well to the task & rewards. So I would recommend this and make it interactive by having family discussions about task suggestions & reward suggestions. Great 👍 App!!!

First, you have to buy the premium version for this to be useful. Not a big deal as I don't mind paying for valuable apps (I have upgraded many apps for as much as $20). However, this developer wants to squeeze as much as possible by making you think the upgrade fee is just 3.99. However, it is 3.99 per device even if you have Family Sharing. So, I can't share the app between my iPad and phone without paying for the upgrade again. Reached out to customer service multiple times and they basically said "Tough Luck". Don't buy it if you consistently use multiple devices as a family. If you only use one device as a family, you are probably fine. As for the app, I would say 50-60% is intuitive and the remainder just takes some clicking around to figure out how to customize. Customer service response time is fine, but pretty easy when you just have to respond with "too bad" all day. Perfect business model for AI canned responses I guess.

My daughter loves this app. It's encouraging and keeps her on track. The noise for earning and losing a star can be extremely motivating for a nearly 7 year-old. Lol. Very glad I came across this app. You can edit tasks and rewards simply. Very user friendly.

I don't know why people are saying you can't remove stars or give negative points. If you accidentally put a star, just hold it and it will disappear. Likewise, if you hold a blank star it will turn red and carry a negative value. It might be possible I have an older version...but I don't know why they would remove a feature like that. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I purchased this app originally quite a while ago. For some reason it doesn't register that I paid for it in my iTunes account, so every time I get a new device I have to contact customer support to reinstate my full version purchase! Other than that, I have had no problems!

App use started off at a 5 star quality but after a few weeks app keeps crashing - it won't even boot. Not sure if latest iOS related but developers need to keep up if so. Terrible shame since the basis and concept of app is well done.

I just paid for the premium version so I could reward both my kids and it won't let me add a second child. When I tap "name" nothing happens. Super annoying. What a waste! Update- was able to add second child (she recall how) but how after 3 months Use still crashing and won't display both kids at the same time. I've contacted them but haven't heard back. Good concept but poor service and buggy.

I started with sticker pop (which is really simple and works if you only have one child), but this one is so much easier to organize. I love that you can edit tasks and rewards. It takes a little playing around to get the hang of it, but then super easy! This is a great positive reinforcement tool to help kids with chores and behaviors that need improvement.

This app is highly customizable. My kids are motivated because they helped come up with their own rewards. I love that you can build in lots of opportunities to do well and earn points and keep it all positive vs my former habit of taking away privileges from my kids for bad behavior. My older one is also starting to think about how she can budget for bigger long term rewards vs just instant gratification. I was able to install on Dad's phone and sync them so we can be consistent.

You can keep up with your kids do and you can have multiple children on this app it is very convenient you can set your own achievements for them and they can pick them it's very good for being a rewards chart and I'm seeing the progress and the negativity what they need to work on

This is a good app. The reason I didn't give five stars is because it's not exactly what I was looking for. I am looking for an app and wish I knew how to develop one. I want the app to be able to be used among separate households for parenting.

It's not free $4 to use the app

This is still the best reward app I have found and they have improved the sync functionality. also the tech support when I did have an issue was quick and effective.

I like the ideas about the whole chart app just not sure what to do one the whole rewards Stars crowns flower parts for achievements for the children chart but I do like the app nice app

I have a 7 year old and a 4 year old and this app is NOT good for them. The kids earn a certain number of points for each assigned task then the rewards equal a certain number of points. To keep my little ones engaged I do the points on a weekly basis and do not let them carry over but this app does not allow an easy way to clear out the balance. Also if you accidentally tap a task there is no way to undo it, so now you're kid has extra stars that they didn't earn. I contacted them on this and never heard back. I don't find that it's user friendly at all.

I really do love this app. This is the kind of thing I was looking for. We usually use paper charts for our children, however it was becoming a nuisance to print them out every week, and remember plus or minus points while we were away from the house. This app enables us to use a point system on the go with the convenience of the phone. I also like the fact that we can sync the account between mommy and daddy. However the one bug I found is that when I tried to sync my account the app crashed and I lost all my data because I had to reset it. Resetting it was pretty smooth. But now I'm worried about syncing. The other thing that is a little annoying about the app is that the general user interface is not exactly intuitive like it should be. Otherwise as far as functionality, this tool is perfect for our kids.

Part of our evening routine is going through our star charts and awarding stars for positive behavior. Generally, I thought it would be best for our seven-year-old. As it turns out, or 14 & 13-year-olds enjoy doing "star charts "as much is the seven-year-old. They all enjoy the Audible feedback. We've been using this app for years now, and it occupies the first screen on my phone. Absolutely love it, and will continue to love it for years to come.

My husband and I are trying to update the kids points from each of our phones. Mine does not update my husbands adjustments. And, support does not respond to questions. The app is a great idea, but is not well executed.

Friend introduced me to the app. It's simple and easy to use.

I have been using this app for a few months and have really liked it but for the last few days it won't open and my kids are frustrated that they can't earn stars anymore. Please fix!

Newest version crashes when opened rendering unusable.

It is a good app but you cannot take away a point/star if was given by mistake. I made a mistake by giving my son's stars to my daughter and you cannot delete it or reset it. There should be a way to do that. Also don't change the pre-type list thatnis given, always ADD a new one other wise its gets really messy if you wants to delete it and change it.

This app is very ANNOYING! I can only have four tasks until I have to PAY TO UPGRADE to have more. This is truly a disappointment

I did like the app ok, but it only lets you have 1 child on their for free. That wasn't in the description and the pictures had more than 1 child in the app!!😡

This is a great tool for helping motivate our kiddos so that we are encouraging good behaviors. We also love the customization and syncing features. A definite family must have.

This is such a great app for helping remember and track good behavior of my boys. I so appreciate the help of the creators and I very much appreciate how much fun this is to help come up with strategic ideas with my boys.

Latest version keeps crashing. Issues with login and auth errors. Aside from latest version, I can't back date a reward entry. I can't give a reward to my son and allow points to go negative. Response to another reviewer, you just hold the star to subtract it if you accidentally add one. Many of the screens aren't real intuitive and you have to stumble through how to use them. It also feels like the person that coded the points portion is different than the person who recorded the rewards area. They are completely different and it is like learning two different apps.

Doesn’t even work and you have to pay for the app when you get in😡😡😡😡

The app now crashes across each of my kids iPads and my phone. Sent email a week ago to the iRewards folks and haven’t heard back. Unfortunately my kids had a bunch of stars/rewards I owe them and I can’t see track it. Come on guys, at least be responsible enough to respond.

UPDATE- AFTER UNLINKING MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT THE APP WORKED; ***HOWEVER*** AFTER UPDATING TO iOS 11.1 the APP NO LONGER EVEN OPENS 😣 After setting up kids in irewards, I synced to my account with my Facebook. Since doing so, the app will not open. I deleted the app and reinstalled, which deleted everything I had set up. Basically, if you don't feel like doing a bunch of work for nothing don't hit the select to sync with Facebook option!!! Developers finally wrote me back and told me error would be fixed with next update -who knows when that will be! If you're thinking about purchasing this app you should make sure they have released a new update. The last update was May 2017 which is the version I’m having problems with. So if it has not been updated then don't bother wasting your money! Hopefully they resolve this issue soon, because it has the potential to be very useful!

I bought and used the app many years ago. Later I stopped using it since my kids grew up. Recently I tried to use it again and was notified my version was not a premium version (maybe after many updates, the system forgot me, not sure yet). I used the link provided in the pop up message to try to restore my services. I got a pretty quick response from the customer service and able to have my premium version back without any problems. The better thing is the customer representative even email me later to double check if I had trouble with restoring, which makes me think they are maintaining a good relationship with users. Well, so far so good.

Sometimes when you check on/off a task, it doesn’t sync on the reward page or the screen where you move the items up/down.

Though the app has great potential there seems to be no support. When the app started crashing, I had to delete and reinstall. Now it wants me to pay again

The app is simple to start using and good for tracking chores and very customizable. It will allow merits and demerits. The reward scale is up to you, no bells and whistles there. User interface is not intuitive beyond basic reward allocation. The original version hasn't been improved upon except for storing and recovering accounts. If you want the real custom features and more than on child added to the list you must pay. Customer service in my experience is terrible or nonexistent.

But has slowly declined into a piece of junk.

Happy so far. They were able to help restore my purchase. I use it every day to motivate my kids.
