Whether it’s designed like a chore wheel, chore calendars, or chore list, these apps assign tasks to specific family members, let parents see when they’ve been completed, and even incentivize kids through cash or perks for work well done. When a kid takes out the garbage, he or she makes a few bucks or an extra half-hour of screen time. Some apps allow kids to donate money to good causes; others let them invest it and use debit cards to spend it. The best chore apps have added features like shared calendars, family goals, and even chat. So if you’ve been trying (and failing) to get stuff done using old models, it’s time to step into the 21st century with the best chore apps for families.
