My brother-in-law is launching a new app called ChorePro and he’s currently looking for some moms, dads, and caregivers to beta test the new app before it hits the market in early 2013.
Here’s more info from him:
What Is ChorePro?
ChorePro is a mobile solution for managing household chores that provides easy chore management for the parents, and a rewards system for the kids. Get rid of those cluttered paper charts stuck to the refrigerator and use your mobile phone to manage chores and simplify your life!
Parents easily create chores, setup a schedule, and assign points. Chores will then be listed on a handy preview screen, showing exactly which chores have been completed, and which ones are still left undone. As chores are completed the kids earn points, which can then be redeemed for rewards. The rewards are setup by the parents, and are fully customizable.
How Do I Sign Up to Be a Beta Tester?
ChorePro is currently in development. It will be available for iOS in early 2013, but we are currently looking for early beta testers who are willing to test out the app and provide feedback on it! If you would like to possibly be chosen to be a part of the early beta program, please fill out our survey here.
Or, to sign up for updates, and to be notified when ChorePro is available, sign up here.
Although I selected in the survey that I’m not using a system now (paper, app or otherwise) I would like to mention that I’ve tried various systems in the past–Motivated Moms (both paper and app versions), Cozi/FlyLady and I’m sure others that I can’t think of off the top of my head. I just haven’t found one that works for me because of one reason or another so I’m just (barely) doing things as I see they need to be done and I’m starting to feel like I’m drowning. :-/
Hi, This sounds like a great app for keeping my household on track! I was also wondering if you might know a good place to share an idea for an app to be developed with, not sure how this works. In talking with some other moms, I believe I might have a great idea for a learning/safety type of app which could help even very young children in trouble. Love your site, You’ve given me a ton of help though it!!!
What a great idea for an app! This is something I could definitely use to help get my toddler started helping with chores.
Brilliant! We are using myjobchart.com right now, but I don’t have it right in front of me all the time, and sometimes is hard to manage (from my perspective). Their app isn’t that great either. I hope this is hugely successful!!
