Teaching your kids to manage their allowances from a young age can go a long way in helping them become responsible adults. With every allowance you give them, teach them to save 10% for a rainy day. That's what Rooster Money is all about. more1 year ago

Many kids think money grows on trees. One of the best ways to show them that it doesn't is to provide them with an allowance that they have earned threw chores. This simple app is perfect to teach children responsibility.1 year ago

BEST allowance / kids finances app!!!
Sep 10, 2019 I spent way too much time researching all the options to help our kids keep track of their money and this one is definitely the best! If all you want to do is keep track of how much money they have in their “virtual accounts” (this functionality alone is super helpful - especially when you have 4 kids!!) then you can you the app for free, but what sets this app above the crowd is the allowance and “extra jobs” chore functionalities, which require a very modest subscription fee for that service - it’s is totally worth it!! The app has been soooo helpful in helping our family of 6 w 4 kids keep track of our money. No more complaining from kids accusing their siblings of stealing their cash or just thinking they had more and not knowing what they did with it - the app makes it so easy to keep track of all deposits and withdraws from their money!! When they get a check from grandma - stick it in their RoosterMoney acct! They do jobs to help out or you want to give them any number of customizable rewards - you are all set! They can log in to their own accts and claim their jobs and move money from spend to save (where they can earn interest) etc. It has really encouraged the kids to think more about how much they have for things they want and makes it so much more straightforward to answer at the store when they say they want anything - “well, do you have enough in RM?” more -
May 3, 2021 One of the best App that I allow my kids to use on their devices. Roostermoney will helps teach your children how to manage their finances at an early age. At the same time they need to understand by getting money into their bank account, they'll need to work and earn it first by doing chores around the house. It's a win win situation for both parents and their kids. As a parent you can still manage everything from your devices. I will definitely recommend it to my families and friends. more -
The kids like it!
Sep 27, 2019 We’ve been using Rooster with our kids for about two weeks now and so far so good! It’s a work in progress to get the kids to refer to the app for their chores, but they are quickly learning that if they don’t get those chores done daily, they lose a percentage of their allowance. The kids DO really like having that visual of their money. My daughter blew through her Spend account the first week and then asked to rent a movie last night. I asked her how much money she had and when she checked she realized what she had done. I say that’s a good lesson learned. I’m still getting the hang of the app myself. I find checking on the chores a little difficult. It seems like sometimes the chores disappear from the list but I don’t remember the kids actually doing them. And I’m not too crazy about the Allowance Jobs and the Extra Jobs being on two different lists. I would like to see them flow together and maybe just tagged differently. I would also like to see a setting that allows a percentage of the Extra Jobs money go directly into savings. So far only the Allowance Jobs have that option. I emailed the developers about this and they got back to me within a day and said they would add it to their request list for the next update. Overall I’m pleased with the app! more -
Flexible for different parenting styles
Jun 29, 2020 Whether you do a monthly allowance, want to pay by the job, or both, this App takes care of it. I LOVE the “regulars” for their monthly bills. (That’s right, the kids have bills too! Allowance is not just play money, they have expenses too!) The way we use it, our kids have regular jobs they “must do” to get their monthly allowance, say $20. But, they also have monthly bills, like their X-box Live, Netflix and Apple Music subscriptions. They’re all divided between our kids each month and that comes out of their “allowance” as well. It also allows flexibility in if/how they get paid that monthly “allowance”. They only do 50% of the jobs? They only get 50% of the pay. Won’t have enough to pay “regulars”? I guess you’d better make up the difference with some “extra earners” like vacuuming out the van, etc. I can split their $ into spending, saving and giving pots. The kids choose rewards: what they want to spend their money on. Now, when we’re at the store, they ask to check their Rooster Account to see if they have enough $ for X. Will they have enough for regulars if they buy X? Maybe they can do some extra earners, or make sure they’ve done their daily chore more often. Ahh, putting the decision back in their court is so satisfying. ☺️ more -
May 8, 2021 Very user friendly but also secure. My daughters are starting to understand the meaning of money and that it doesn't grow on trees! By earning their pocket money using the chores function helps them see their money grow. Great App and service. more -
5 stars from our family!
Sep 3, 2018 We have been looking for a way to keep track of our kiddos’ spending money in a more on-the-go, fun, user-friendly way. We recently found the RoosterMoney app. It’s all about managing pocket money with kids and teaching them about the value of money. When we set it up, we had them bring us the amount of cash that he wanted to deposit in their RoosterMoney “bank”. We can both have access to the same account so he can deposit and withdraw money from his phone and I can from mine. We can make notes for each transaction and we can also deposit/withdraw the same amount from multiple kids at the same time. When adding their “weekly commission” we can also sort it by “give”, “save”, and “spend” so we are teaching budgeting principles. It’s fun for them to see their money going up (or down) and helping them track how much money they have to work with in each of those 3 categories. It’s also free to join with the option of upgrades to add chores and several other features. We are loving it so far! more -
Apr 21, 2021 This is a wonderful app for my kids age 8 and 14. I love the instant updates that they recieve when I add rewards to their bank. It really has motivated them to do more and help out. I've never seen such excitement with doing chores. The kids love to watch their bank grow. It such a simple and easy tool to use. We love it! more

Overall good so far - need some modifications
Jan 6, 2019 It would be great if when we boost money to our kids account it would automatically split it into our desired ratio of 80% spend, 10% save and 10% tithe. Instead you have to manually do that and enter 3 separate transactions with explanations. When making a withdrawal it would be nice if you could see what is in all 3 accounts while choosing the amount. We were previously using kidsbank and I was very disappointed when that app was shut down. We have 5 kids so you can imagine that managing their money and chores is not easy. We are liking this app so far but modifying the features I mentioned would make this fantastic! Also it is a little glitchy when adding chores manually. If google can’t come up with a picture and you try to go back and edit, it wants to make you put in a deadline date instead of leaving it open ended so you have to delete the chore and re-enter it with a different name so that google can find a picture. For example, I entered straighten craft area and Game Center and all I could get was pictures of hair straighteners. I look forward to providing further feedback as we begin to use the app. more -
Apr 24, 2021 Excellent programming. I would highly recommend this app. Very simple controls. Keeps track of everything you spend on. -
Solves the problem for us!
Jul 23, 2018 Did we give the kids their allowance this week? Did Mom? Did Dad? Do we owe them from last week? 2 weeks ago? While we were on vacation? Did we forget to give them allowance on vacation? But didn’t we cover it by giving them extra spending money on vacation? What about that money grandma sent that we held onto because they didn’t have pockets/wallet? How much money do you have in the bank? In your piggy bank, at home? How much do we owe you for doing that chore? Didn’t we pay you already? What about our last trip to the grocery store where you said you would buy that sugary cereal with your own money and pay us back when we got home? Did you pay us back yet? You did? I don’t remember, was it Dad or Mom you paid back? We never have to worry about any of these questions, ever again! RoosterMoney makes it simple to track a weekly allowance amount going into our kids accounts, we never forget and we can check from anywhere (and the kids can check from their mobile devices, too)! We can instantly deduct from their available balance if they want to get anything at the store while we’re out - no more questioning or forgetting to account for things. Bonus? RoosterMoney reflects exactly how electronic paychecks and banking work for adults in the real world and we’re training our kids (unbeknownst to them) on how to be adults with bank accounts long before they are old enough in the bank’s eyes to be issued a debit card. more

Apr 24, 2021 Difficult to navigate, too complex, Make simpler, too many parts and dont need , keep simple. Add comments in app wont send just spins around -
Paid version is good, but needs improvement
Jul 4, 2019 If you pay the premium version, you can set allowance jobs which are a kids regular chores and extra jobs, which are additional tasks that your kids can do to earn extra. When you set these up, you can set the frequency with which a task appears on the list. For example you can creat an extra job of cleaning the bathroom and set that task to repeat weekly. So when your kid cleans the bathroom this week, it won’t come up again till next week. THE PROBLEM: I have three kids and I set up extra chores in the list that all 3 can do. My daughter did the bathroom and crossed it off. It’s not on her list anymore but my two sons still have it on theirs. This means they can now clean the clean bathroom and check it off on their list too! I set the frequency I want the task done, not based on which kid does it. This definitely needs to change as the alternative is for me to make each kid a list for themselves which defeats the reason I’m paying for this. Hope to see it corrected soon! more -
Love the idea - extremely poor execution!
May 31, 2020 Conceptually I love this idea and I’m generally pretty easy to please with software/apps but, I can not believe how annoying this software is. I signed up for the rooster plus trial with the full intention of keeping the subscription going but, after wasting my time for the last half an hour setting it up, it’s pretty clear I will be closing the account ASAP. This software is not intuitive or user friendly at all. It’s obnoxious how much you have to click around to add basic tasks/chores. It’s absolutely stupid that you can’t see the tasks you’ve created and assigned in a single calendar view or at least in a view that shows frequency/child assignments. Oh, and if you have more than one child that you want to assign the same task on different days...yeah, software can’t handle that. What a total waste of my time. Save yourself the hassles and find another solution. I can not believe this has as high a rating on the App Store as it does?!? more

Jan 6, 2019 It would be great if when we boost money to our kids account it would automatically split it into our desired ratio of 80% spend, 10% save and 10% tithe. Instead you have to manually do that and enter 3 separate transactions with explanations. When making a withdrawal it would be nice if you could see what is in all 3 accounts while choosing the amount. We were previously using kidsbank and I was very disappointed when that app was shut down. We have 5 kids so you can imagine that managing their money and chores is not easy. We are liking this app so far but modifying the features I mentioned would make this fantastic! Also it is a little glitchy when adding chores manually. If google can’t come up with a picture and you try to go back and edit, it wants to make you put in a deadline date instead of leaving it open ended so you have to delete the chore and re-enter it with a different name so that google can find a picture. For example, I entered straighten craft area and Game Center and all I could get was pictures of hair straighteners. I look forward to providing further feedback as we begin to use the app. more -
Pretty good, with a few tweaks it’d be great
May 6, 2020 I really like this app, however there is some inconsistency in how to transfer money, specifically into the “goals” section. Within the save, spend, share sections, you can transfer easily, but to transfer money into the goals section, you can only do it from within that section and only from the “spend” category, which I don’t understand. I also get frustrated because the app doesn’t allow for working on landscape orientation, which is really frustrating when that’s how the keyboard is like for a tablet. Doesn’t work easily to have the app only in portrait mode and you keyboard is automatically set up for landscape, so when you’re typing on a keyboard (like adding notes about what money was for), the screen orientation doesn’t match. Small thing and you can use the keyboard on the screen or tilt your head, but its kind of annoying. more

Paid version is good, but needs improvement
Jul 4, 2019 If you pay the premium version, you can set allowance jobs which are a kids regular chores and extra jobs, which are additional tasks that your kids can do to earn extra. When you set these up, you can set the frequency with which a task appears on the list. For example you can creat an extra job of cleaning the bathroom and set that task to repeat weekly. So when your kid cleans the bathroom this week, it won’t come up again till next week. THE PROBLEM: I have three kids and I set up extra chores in the list that all 3 can do. My daughter did the bathroom and crossed it off. It’s not on her list anymore but my two sons still have it on theirs. This means they can now clean the clean bathroom and check it off on their list too! I set the frequency I want the task done, not based on which kid does it. This definitely needs to change as the alternative is for me to make each kid a list for themselves which defeats the reason I’m paying for this. Hope to see it corrected soon! more -
Love the idea - extremely poor execution!
May 31, 2020 Conceptually I love this idea and I’m generally pretty easy to please with software/apps but, I can not believe how annoying this software is. I signed up for the rooster plus trial with the full intention of keeping the subscription going but, after wasting my time for the last half an hour setting it up, it’s pretty clear I will be closing the account ASAP. This software is not intuitive or user friendly at all. It’s obnoxious how much you have to click around to add basic tasks/chores. It’s absolutely stupid that you can’t see the tasks you’ve created and assigned in a single calendar view or at least in a view that shows frequency/child assignments. Oh, and if you have more than one child that you want to assign the same task on different days...yeah, software can’t handle that. What a total waste of my time. Save yourself the hassles and find another solution. I can not believe this has as high a rating on the App Store as it does?!? more

What’s Groovy
I wish this app was around when I was young. For me, the parent, it takes away the possibility of forgetting to give my daughter her weekly allowance (which I often did) and it relieves my daughter of the embarrassment of having to remind me! Having a app she can use for purchases gives my daughter the freedom to not have to carry money around with her and allows her to make unplanned purchases, both in shops and online.

What’s Subpar
It definitely needs some improvements as far as user ease of use. They've been given a lot of innovative ideas that could greatly improve their app to make it more user friendly. It's easy enough to do (other apps have the suggested options already in use). With that said, they fail to improve and update the app. They need to incorporate user ideas more. They have a scripted response to user requests instead of honestly working on things.
