First, a quick reality check: this product is often called ScreenCoach, and it’s effectively a digital allowance manager. If you're tired of being the 'bad guy' who pulls the plug, this moves that role to an algorithm. It’s a solid pick for families who want to replace the constant nagging with a clear, visual system of 'work then play.'

It isn't a 'set it and forget it' solution, though. It requires you to be an active participant in the 'economy' you're building. If you don't stay on top of approving the chores, the system stalls and the frustration just moves from the screen to the dashboard. Use it as a training wheel, not a permanent surveillance state.
