Parents Will Love Chore Pad, Children Maybe Not
September 6, 2010
For parents that like to give their children a list of chores, we've got an app for you. Chore Pad for the iPad was just released by Nannek. The app's main goal is to provide parents with a way to organize chore charts.
The app allows the creation of chores that occur on any days you'd like, with flexible repeat options. Any number of users can be added to the app and you can customize chores per user as needed. You can even create rewards to help motivate you and your family to get things done!
Nannek was founded in 2003 by a husband and wife team. Earlier this year, they released PicoScrum for the iPhone/iPod touch. Chore Pad is the company's first iPad application.
I've tested the app and found it easy to use. Once you setup regular chores (and of course, adding the children that will doing the tasks), it is easy to see how the app can be used as part of a regular routine. While your children might not like the idea of establishing a chore chart, they might find it pretty cool that it exists on your iPad!
In fact, one of their rewards for doing a chore could be use of your iPad!
Future versions of ChorePad will include the ability to have changeable themes, shareable rewards, and more animation for each chart.
Chore Pad for the iPad is priced at $4.99 and is available now in the App Store.
