How do I choose a reward chart app for kids?
Choose a reward chart app for kids by checking a short list: custom tasks and rewards, stars that show up right away, no ads, no signup, a parent lock, and a way for two parents to see one record. StarKids is a chore and reward chart app for iPhone and iPad, for ages 3–12. You can start free, with no ads and no account.
What to check
1. Can you set your own tasks and rewards?
Chores and rewards differ by family. The app should let you create both. When a child finishes a task, the stars go up and can be traded for a reward you agreed on.
2. Do the stars show up immediately?
The point of a chore reward chart is the moment just after the job. A star added much later is harder to connect to what they did.
3. Are there ads or an account to create?
Ads pull a child out of the chart. StarKids starts without an account, and the app has no ads.
4. Can parents lock the settings?
A parent PIN keeps tasks, stars, and rewards from being edited by the child. The agreement survives the afternoon.
5. Can two parents share one record?
When care is shared, both adults need the same tasks, stars, and rewards. StarKids Family Sync is part of Pro, for up to two parent devices. Create a family in Settings and share the invite code.
6. Does the record survive a new phone?
StarKids keeps data on your device. Pro adds iCloud backup and sync, so the record can move with you.
7. Is there a free way to try it?
The free version includes 1 child, 6 tasks, and 4 rewards. Pro unlocks unlimited kids, tasks, and rewards, Family Sync for up to 2 parent devices, and iCloud.

How StarKids helps
If you want a kids’ reward chart and chore chart on iPhone or iPad, StarKids is built around that list: your tasks, your rewards, stars when the work is done, no ads, no signup, and settings that stay with the parent.
Try the free version with one child and a handful of tasks. Move to Pro when a second parent needs the same record, or when you need more children, tasks, and rewards.
