Chore Cards

a kids chore tracking app for iPhone and iPad

Chore Cards is a set of 25 chores meant to teach our little ones how to become independent by establishing good daily habits and motivating them through rewards.

With 11 kids in the AppDads.com family we like to think we know something about kids. One main thing we've learned about kids is that they are sight readers. For example, kids don't need to be able to read the McDonald's words, they recognize the golden arches. With this in mind, we set out to make a chores app that kids at any age can use.

Each chore is shown in a with a tiger character performing the chore. There are two chore card themes to choose from, one is a boy tiger and the other is a girl tiger.

The chores are easily readable on the iPhone and extra big on the iPad. Chore Cards is gesture controlled. The kids intuitively use their finger to drag the completed chore to the done pile. The kids feel a sense of accomplishment. Then you as the parent can review the completed chores by flicking through them like a deck of cards.

Chore Cards also gives us parents a way to enter goals and rewards. Custom rewards can be added with a picture and point value that the kids can work towards on a daily basis.

This is the initial view when the app is started. The quick and easy add button lets you add as many children as you want.

This is the main view your children will use most. Use your finger to drag the done chores to the done pile.

Take a picture or save a picture from a website and use it to create a custom reward.

Assign chores per day. This can be done for each child.

iPhone or iPad camera is used to scan printed chore cards. The kids love using app to scan completed chores.

Make a set of custom Chore Cards. Use images from your photo library or from a existing chore cards.
