My daughter’s incentive maker!
My six year old’s vívofit Frozen Elsa watch is the best thing ever! She enjoys it so much. She races to brush her teeth with her two minute timer and then makes her bed dresses and combs her hair within minutes of waking up! She loves earning her chore coins. It has been fun watching her get so excited when she reaches her 60 minute activity goal. She loves unlocking more of the frozen story and playing the games. It is the highlight of our evening watching her enjoy it so much. This girl is use to playing wii and Xbox with more elaborate games. But with the frozen incentive games she is so proud and happy to do because she earned them! I love that she is learning to do her chores with a happy little spirit and getting exercise. She watches her watch and says oh, I better start moving! I love it. This is a great watch for where my six year old is at right now in her young life! Great job!!!

Fun app, 8 yo loves this tracker
8 year old has wanted his own since he saw my Garmin Vivofit 3. Our deal was - learn to tell time in analog first with accuracy and it is yours! He loves it and he loves challenging me. App works well, game functions are fun. Only drawbacks -only way to mark off a chore is on app (not his device) and (as a parent) I was looking forward to getting a better sense of his sleep. I can not find a way to manipulate the time to sleep (this is easy to adjust on my Garmin app for my Vivofit 3). There was one night I know for certain (he was sawing logs!!) he was asleep by 8pm. The app said he was asleep after 10. I know it isn’t intended for that function, but was delighted it would gather some data (ish)....except I really can’t count on it being very accurate. If these two things were improved I would give this top marks. This kid is ALWAYS moving...and he loves seeing the steps rack up!

Recent updates= less stars
Updated review: I was contacted the same day I left a review by tech staff. They worked to resolve my issues and followed up twice. I’m raising my stars to 4, as I still preferred an older version of this app. But I really appreciated the responsiveness of their staff. We’ve been using this app and the watches for my 7 and 8 year old since March of 2017. The recent updates (in Oct 2017) that change the way chores are added and removed is frustrating. I’ve had to add and subtract chores twice for each child to try and recreate the list we had before the updates started coming. My children and I review chores at the end of each day, before we read bedtime stories. They are keenly aware of their coin count and which chores they are responsible for. It’s aggravating to keep receiving updates that don’t seem to add value to the experience. Instead they add labor on the parents’ end and confusion for kids. Like other parents have mentioned, having an option to go back and give kids credit for chores on a previous day was a helpful feature. Every so often we miss a night of reviewing and they still deserve to receive their coins. It was a super app until the middle of Oct. when these changes kept rolling in. What gives?
