Frequently asked questions

Kid Chore is a family chore and rewards app for iOS and Android. Parents assign chores with star values, kids complete them to earn stars, and stars can be redeemed for rewards the family sets — screen time, a trip to the park, a new toy, or anything you decide.

Yes. Kid Chore is free to download and use. A Premium subscription unlocks unlimited kids, unlimited rewards, photo proof, and multi-kid chore assignment.

No email, phone number, or password is needed. When a parent creates a kid profile, the app generates a simple 6-character code. The kid enters that code once on their device and stays logged in. Parents can regenerate or revoke the code at any time.

Yes. Kid Chore is COPPA compliant. Child profiles are created and managed only by a parent, kids never provide personal information, there are no ads shown to kids, and no data is ever sold or shared with third parties for advertising.

When a kid finishes a chore, they submit it for approval — optionally with a photo as proof. The parent gets a push notification and approves or rejects it with one tap. Once approved, the stars land in the kid's balance instantly. Trusted chores can be set to auto-approve.

Yes. You can manage multiple kids under one family account, each with their own profile, avatar, chore list, and star balance. The free plan supports one kid; Premium unlocks unlimited kids.

Anything your family values: screen time, a movie night, a trip to the park, a small toy, or pocket money. You set the star cost for each reward, and you can limit quantities. The app also includes reward templates with suggested star values to get you started.

Yes. Chores can be one-time, daily, or set for specific days of the week — for example, 'take out the trash every Tuesday and Friday.' Recurring chores show up automatically on the kid's dashboard on the right day.

Kid Chore is available for iPhone on the Apple App Store and for Android phones and tablets on Google Play. A parent and their kids can be on different platforms — everything stays in sync.

Nothing punitive — the chore simply stays on their list, and stars are only awarded for completed and approved chores. Kid Chore is built around positive reinforcement: kids earn their way toward rewards instead of being penalized.
