what are some positive consequences for kids when using chore management apps like Levelty?

I’ve been thinking about using a chore app for my kids, like Levelty. Has anyone tried these? I’m curious about the good effects they might have. Do kids actually get more organized or responsible? Or is it just another thing for them to ignore? Any experiences or thoughts would be helpful.

My kids got more organized with a chore app. They liked seeing tasks checked off and points add up.

Fewer arguments about chores now. The app shows what needs doing, so less nagging from me.

Not perfect, but it’s helped.

I’ve been curious about chore apps too. My little one is just 5, so we’re still figuring out how to make chores work.

Right now, we use a simple sticker chart for basic tasks like putting away toys. It’s hit or miss some days. I wonder if an app might make it more engaging?

Has anyone used these apps with younger kids? I’m not sure if my 5-year-old is ready for that yet. Maybe it would be fun to look at together and plan out the day?

I’d love to hear how others introduced chore apps, especially with little ones. Did it help them understand responsibilities better? Or is it better to wait until they’re older?

I started using a chore app with my kids a while back. It took some getting used to but it has made a real difference for us.

My younger teen enjoys the competitive edge. She often tries to earn more points than her sibling, and it’s funny to see her hurry to finish unloading the dishwasher first. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

For my older teen, the app helped him see how his tasks contribute to running our household. He’s even come up with ideas to improve our system, showing more ownership over his responsibilities.

One unexpected benefit was reducing tension at home. With everything clearly laid out in the app, there’s less room for disputes over chores. The kids can track their progress and stay motivated. Sticking with it, even when the novelty wore off, helped us greatly in managing daily tasks.

I tried a chore app with my 11-year-old recently. It’s been interesting to see how it’s changed things around the house. The visual progress bars seem to motivate my kid - there’s a sense of accomplishment in filling them up.

I’ve noticed my child taking more ownership of tasks. Sometimes they’ll even do extra chores to earn more points or rewards. It’s also helped us have better conversations about responsibilities and teamwork at home.

The gamification aspect makes chores feel less like a chore. My kid actually gets excited to complete tasks now. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely made things smoother in our household.

We started using a chore app with our kids a few months ago. It’s been pretty good so far! The kids seem to enjoy checking off tasks and seeing their progress.

One nice thing is how it’s made chores feel more like a team effort. We sit down together to plan the week, and the kids get to have some input. They’re starting to take more initiative with their responsibilities too.

The app has also helped cut down on reminders from us. The kids can see what needs doing, and they often get to it without prompting. It’s not perfect - there are still occasional forgotten chores. But overall, it’s helped create a more positive vibe around housework.

I think the visual element makes a difference. Seeing their accomplishments adds a bit of fun to everyday tasks.
