A Buyer's Guide to Chore Apps

This is a buyer's guide to help parents decide which chore apps will suit their families best.

Chore apps help families manage and organise their household tasks. At their simplest level, they resemble a simple to-do list, perhaps with more child-friendly presentation. Many have a link between allowances and chore completion, but some also emphasise less material rewards.

Some of the most recent chore apps have sophisticated helper functions that manage your whole family calendar and automatically re-allocate chores if somebody is unavailable.

Whether your family will benefit from a chore app depends greatly on your family's values, personalities, and lifestyle.
