Thumsters: Chore Chart App

This has been very helpful for my 10 year old. I paid for the subscription and was never able to access any of the additional functions that are supposed to be available through that. After I already paid it continued to tell me that those functions were only available through the subscription, when I clicked on subscription it informed me I already had a subscription. I cancelled the subscription but still use the app- would live to access additional features. Update- I am changing my review to 5 stars. After leaving my original review the developer reached out to me and fixed the bug that was keeping me from accessing all of the options. This was a very fast and painless process and I love the features that I’m able to now access. This is an amazing app and is one of the best tools to help my child! Thank you Thumbsters!

I began using this App for my 8 year old to track good behavior. He has ADHD and it was recommended by his behavior therapist. If he displays a good act, he gets a point. We reinforce good behavior so we do not remove points. When he reaches his goal, he is rewarded. What’s really neat is my 2 year old loves the sound of a point being granted. It sounds like a trumpet. I have started using the App for her as well for potty training. 🤷‍♀️ Who knew? Each time she uses the potty I say “let’s get a point” and I let her click on the thumbs up and then click on a random good act. She gets so excited when the horn blows. She says “Mom, did you hear it?” It’s been a win/win for both kids.

Why is this a monthly pay app? Easily could be a pay 1x app. No way to undo thumbs up or down if mistake is made. Very good app just needs some improvements to work more broadly. You should be able to undo a thumbs up or down but you can’t. I don’t like the fact the developers can see all my thumbs up and downs reason kids pictures etc. again this should be a standalone app. Update: If you add reward late it does calculate the thumbs up in the new reward. Kids should be able to use thumbs up for any reward if they have enough thumbs up but the app spreads the thumbs up over all rewards currently listed. - unsure ready what it’s doing. Need instructions. So screens seem confusing like I see thumbs down from yesterday in today’s graph. My children like to see their thumbs up and down maybe create a clear and simple screen just for kids to view their thumbs up and pick their own reward. Bottom line great potential but needs work. Not thrilled about paying monthly for something that isn’t giving new content like a stream music service. I should have to pay for an app is self service. Not thrilled about being monitored and for what?

This is exactly what I was looking for - a straight-forward, easy-to-use app where I can award and deduct points for specific behaviors and set individual goals for each child. It would be great if when you’re giving a thumbs up or down, the list of reasons to select would include the point value for each reason.

I had some good Communication with the developer to try and resolve the original problem (see below) but have not heard anything since October 11th. They tried to resolve it but have not been successful. My monthly subscription is up on November 3rd and I haven’t been able to use it once. I continue to be very frustrated. I began using this app’s free version. I loved it so I decided to purchase it to receive full access. I have not been able to get full access after several days hence the 1 star. I’ve sent emails and only received an automated response. I am beyond frustrated! The problems with this app are effecting the behavior system that I started with my kids. I just want it to work!!! 😠
