iPhone and iPad with iOS 17.4 or later, Android phones and tablets with Android 9 or later, Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later, and Wear OS 3 or later watches. On a Mac with Apple silicon, you can install the iPhone and iPad app from the App Store.

It also works in a web browser at choreapp.wingboat.com on a Mac, PC or Chromebook, in Chrome or Edge 119 or later, Firefox 120 or later, or Safari 18.2 or later.

Your family uses one account, and every device on it stays in sync automatically.

The easiest way to add a device is to link it with a code. Install the app on the new device and tap “Link Device” on the first screen to get a 6-digit code. On your own device, tap the Settings tab, then “Linked Devices”, then “Link a Device”, and enter the code. No password is needed, and you choose which children the device shows and whether it has parental controls. See Linking Your Child’s Device.

You can also log in on another device with the same email and password. The app remembers the link or the login, so you only need to do it once on each device.

The app doesn’t have separate accounts for parents and children. The whole family shares one account, and a four digit parental passcode protects the parts of the app that only parents should use. Please keep your parental passcode secret from your children. You can change it in the Settings tab, under Account Settings.

On a child’s device, the best way is to link the device with a code and leave “Allow parental controls on this device” unchecked. The device then only shows what your child may do, and the parental passcode can’t unlock it.

Install the app on their device and link it with a code (in the Settings tab, under “Linked Devices”), and check “Allow parental controls on this device”. Or they can log in with the same email and password. Share the parental passcode with the other parent, but not with your children.

Yes. Link their device to your family’s account with a code, and choose which children it shows. Children can see their chores, check them off, and see their savings. With Premium, children can also use the Apple Watch or Wear OS app to see and check off their next chore on their wrist, and home screen widgets on iPhone, iPad and Android.

No. After you create your account, the app takes you through creating a parental passcode and choosing how often allowance is paid. Then you add your children and assign chores. See the Step by Step Guides.

Every screen has a “Help” button. Tap it and type or speak your question, and the app explains and shows you step by step where to tap.

The free version lets you set up chores and allowances, track each child’s savings and spending, and sync all of your family’s devices.

Premium adds Reward and Up-For-Grabs chores, rotating chores, extra days to finish chores, photos of completed chores, the Chore Chart, extra accounts and savings goals, partial and automatic allowance approval based on chores, unlimited history, advanced reminders and notifications, child passcodes, home screen widgets, the Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, Siri and Shortcuts, and more.

Premium is an annual subscription, and first-time subscribers get a 7-day free trial. One subscription covers your whole family on all of your devices.

No. Chores & Allowance Bot doesn’t limit the number of children, allowances, or chores.

Yes. Each child has their own allowance amount, which you enter when you add the child. To change it later, tap the child, then “Edit Child”.

When you add a child, you can enter the savings they already have.

Yes. On the main screen, tap “Assign Chores” to see every chore, with a column of check boxes for each child. With Premium, the Chore Chart (also on the main screen) shows all of your children’s chores day by day.

Yes. There are two ways:

• On the Assign screen, check the boxes under each child’s name next to the chore, then tap “Apply”.
• When you edit a chore, open “Assignees”, tap “Select Assignees” and check the children.

Yes, with Premium. Edit the chore, choose two or more assignees, then in the Schedule section select “Rotate between assignees”. The chore rotates through the children in the order they’re listed under Assignees, starting on the start date. Hold your finger on a child and drag to change the order. See Rotating Chores Between Your Children.

Yes, with Premium. Make the chore a “Reward Chore” and enter an amount. Each time the chore is done, the payment is added to your child’s savings when you approve it, or right away if you choose that in the Settings tab, under Account Settings. An “Up-For-Grabs Chore” pays only the first child who does it each day.

Yes. In the Settings tab, under Account Settings, you can have allowance paid only after your approval, always, only if all Required Chores were done, or in proportion to the Required Chores done. You can also approve part of a payment yourself. The automatic and partial options are Premium features.

Yes, with Premium. On the main screen, tap “Assign Chores”, then tap your child’s name at the top of the grid. Hold your finger on a chore and drag it up or down. Your child sees their chores in the same order.

Yes. Each child has a Savings account. With Premium, you can add more accounts and savings goals for each child (tap the child, then “Accounts & Goals”), and have a percentage of every allowance and reward go into each one automatically.

Yes. Tap your child, then “Ledger” to see every payment, deposit, spend and deduction, or “Graph” to see how their savings have grown. The free version shows recent history; Premium keeps and shows all of it.

Allowance payments are made just after midnight at the end of each allowance period, in your account’s time zone. Children have until then to finish the period’s required chores. You can see or change the time zone in the Settings tab, under Account Settings.

No. The app keeps track of your children’s money for you, but it isn’t connected to any bank, card or payment service. When you give your child cash or buy something for them, use “Spend” or “Deduct” to take it out of their savings in the app.

Your family’s chores, allowances and settings are kept on our server, so every device in your family sees the same information and stays in sync.

Yes. We will never share, sell, lend or give away any information you enter into Chores & Allowance Bot. See our Privacy Policy.

Yes. Your family’s information is kept on our server, so your device needs to be connected to the internet.

So it can show the chore reminders and notifications you choose, like when a chore is done or a payment is waiting to be approved. You choose them on each device in the Settings tab, under Device Settings, then Notifications. See Enabling Child Notifications and Reminders.

Yes. The app is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese: tap the Settings tab, then Device Settings, then Language. To change the currency, tap the Settings tab, then Account Settings, then Currency. There are pretend currencies too, like points and stars.

Yes. Tap the Settings tab, then Device Settings, and under Appearance choose Light, Dark, or Auto.

Tap “Recover your passcodes” in the passcode entry box and enter your login password. The app emails your parental passcode and child passcodes to your account’s email address.

You can change your parental passcode in the Settings tab, under Account Settings.

Tap “Log In”, then “Forgot your password?”, and the app emails you a link to reset it. If the email doesn’t arrive, please check your spam folder, or write to us.

Cancel it where you subscribed: in your Apple ID’s subscriptions in the App Store, in the Google Play app, or for the web version, in the app’s Settings tab under Subscription Settings. If your subscription doesn’t show up in the app, tap “Restore Purchases” at the top of the More tab.

Tap the Settings tab, then Account Settings, then “Delete Account”. The app emails a 6-digit code to confirm. Deleting your account removes all of your family’s information and can’t be undone. It doesn’t cancel a subscription from the App Store or Google Play. You can also ask us to delete your account.

Please make sure you have the latest version of the app, then try these, in order:

1. Close the app and open it again.

On iPhone and iPad: swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause (or double-click the Home button), then swipe the app’s card up and off the screen.

On Android: open the Settings app, tap Apps, tap Chores & Allowance Bot, then “Force stop”.

In a web browser: reload the page.

2. Restart your device.

3. Delete the app and install it again from the App Store or Google Play. Then log in or link the device again. All of your family’s information is kept on our server, so nothing is lost.

If it still happens, please tell us with the “Feedback” tab in the app, or write to us.
