The app is good overall but the app does not allow the parent to review chores that were completed weeks prior and it’s a hassle when transferring big amounts of money to my child’s card.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback with us! Currently, the app doesn't support reviewing chores from previous weeks, but we appreciate you letting us know how helpful this would be. Regarding your money transfers, you can easily use our 'Quick Transfer' feature for instant, on-the-spot moving of funds, or set up 'Auto top-up' in your account settings so your parent balance stays topped up automatically. We're always working to improve, so we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us 😊
We are really enjoying the app
My boys are enjoying getting paid for chores and when they want to use there money we have no issues. There are no hidden fees like busy kid which is who we switched from. They would use there card for busy kid to buy roblox and the transaction would not go through but busy kid would still take the money and we wouldn't get it back. Acorn does not do that. Also they have savings goals they can set my teen has really enjoyed that. The boy also really like being paid to learn about how to budget and handle money with their lessons.

Love this app for my boys
Love this app for my boys. Keep them doing their chores. Also when visiting placing out eating or even shopping. They have their money to use for what they want from what they earn for the week.

Hard to set up
Hard to set up, not intuitive, overly complicated overall. Very slow to transfer funds, rendering it almost useless. Somehow accounts got mixed up and my child has access to my bank account and has been transferring funds to herself. Not easy to figure out how to fix. Wish I never started it.

Hi there,
We're sorry to hear sign-up wasn't a seamless journey, and we welcome any feedback to help us improve the experience. Quick Transfers should be instant, so please contact us if you're experiencing delays.
To protect your account, we also strongly advise changing your sign-in details right away to ensure only you have access to the parent profile. Our team is available whenever you need further support.
Our team would like the opportunity to hear more about your experience and turn this around for you. As I have not been able to locate your account with us, please do contact our team who are here to help on 855 739 2859 - lines are open 9am - 8pm EST Monday to Friday and 9am - 5pm on weekends.
Many Thanks,
