Chore Hero app review: help your family!

Reviews

Introduction

If there are frequent arguments among your family members as to who is going to perform certain household tasks then you might like to try downloading Chore Hero onto your iPhone and iPad so that you can turn chores into something a little more fun.

I think that the idea behind this app is an absolutely fantastic one, and although the general functionality could certainly be expanded upon in future updates I’m very impressed overall by what the developer has done here so would certainly recommend checking it out.

Save Your Family From Grime!

This is a great little app that has been designed to hopefully take some of the tedium out of chores by turning them into a fun game that you can use to get the whole family in on the action, including the kids!

This app utilizes a fun points-based system to help you level up and become your family’s top Chore Hero, with a variety of rewards available. You can also add your own custom chores or choose the presets from the in-app database.

Level Up Your Profile

Chore Hero allows you to assign a difficulty level to each chore with associated scores, and each member of your family gets their own profile so that they can see how they’re performing with some objective feedback.

This app also doubles up as a handy tool for organizing your daily chores because you can see everything that needs to be done today as well as lining up chores for the following day so that everyone knows what’s expected of them.
