Chore Pad

What it is: an app for tracking chores and rewards.

What you do with it: create an account for a child (multiple accounts are possible), set up rewards, create and assign task lists (chores), and start tracking them on daily or weekly basis with a system based on awarding 'done', 'bonus' and 'penalty' stars for each task.

What we liked: the concept, overall look and feel of the app, extensive configuration options, good help section, the option to synchronize data between two or more iOS devices via Dropbox (but see the note below).

What we didn't like: requires some time to master the interface and understand the 'stars system'. We would like to see an easier way for assigning chores to a part of the day e.g. morning routines (now it can only be done by defining separate chores on the list). No option to import custom photos as chore icons. No illustrations/icons for the rewards. The iPad version (if you want to use the app on the iPad and iPhone) is a separate purchase.

Bottom line: great proposition for parents looking for non-standard ways to motivate their kids.
