iRewardChart makes it easy to reward your children for good behavior and keep them motivated.
1. Type their name,
2. Select a few tasks from our list of suggestions, and
3. Reward their accomplishments with a single tap in the weekly chart
When stars have been earned, your child can pick from the default list of suggested rewards, or you can setup your own custom rewards especially tailored for each of your children, like "$2 Pocket Money" or "One Hour Of TV".
Children love to feel responsible, challenged and respected. But most children don't like being told what to do... iRewardChart also allows you to set up abstract goals like "Patience" and "Sharing With Others", so rewards teach the virtues you want your child to learn.
IRewardChart Lite includes free online backup and storage for one child. Furthermore, iRewardChart Lite will sync one child across multiple devices. At no charge. For all eternity. IRewardChart Premium supports multiple children locally. If you wish to sync them all across multiple devices, you need a premium server account.

  • Motivating for the student/child.
  • You are able to make the chart mobile and take it to multiple environments.

What I Would Like To See Added In Future Updates

Is this App Appropriate for Students with Special Needs?
This is an awesome tool to use with students with special needs. It make be used to extrinsically motivate students to master specific tasks. By using the app, the teacher/parent will have documentation regarding how the student is making progress toward mastery of specific tasks in multiple environments. This is a great tool for all educators and parents to use instead of the paper pencil versions that have been used for years.
