What Families Are Saying

Every family is different. Every story is real.

"I love this app, I use it every day with my kids. It's one of only five apps they have installed on their iPads."

"Just downloaded it, 4 stars as I am yet to have the kids use it, but the set-up was soooo easy in comparison to other apps I've looked at. Love that you didn't need all my personal data to set up. Nice and bright, very visually appealing, looking forward to seeing how the kids navigate :)"

"Having active, on-hand devs really changes the experience. Giving 5 stars right away even though the raised concern is still pending, but having amazing devs reassures me it'll be taken care of. Kudos, please keep it up."

"Brilliant!! Great job done. A couple of suggestions: ability to add time to tasks, and ability to move tasks up or down in the list by holding down on them. Ad-free experience makes this app even more amazing. Thanks for this."

Questions? We've got answers.

Everything parents ask before downloading Kikaroo.

Is Kikaroo really free? What's the catch?

+

No catch. Core features: unlimited chores, points tracking, and custom rewards are free forever. No credit card required to start. We offer a premium plan for parents who want advanced reporting and extra customisation, but the free tier is genuinely useful on its own.

Will my kids actually stick with it?

+

That's the most common concern we hear, and the most common thing parents are surprised by. Because kids set their own reward goals, they have a personal reason to keep going. They're not completing chores for a vague "good job." They're working toward something they actually want. That makes a real difference.

What age is Kikaroo best for?

+

Kikaroo works best for children aged 4–18. Younger kids (4–7) love ticking off tasks and watching their points grow. Older kids (8–18) enjoy the strategy of choosing rewards and setting goals. You control the complexity, point values, and rewards to suit each child's age and maturity.

How do kids earn and redeem rewards?

+

You assign chores with point values. When your child completes a chore, they earn those points. You set custom rewards, screen time, a treat, a toy, a sleepover, anything, and attach a point cost to each. Kids save up and request the reward. You approve it. Simple, transparent, and fair for everyone.

Does Kikaroo work on both iPhone and Android?

+

Yes. Kikaroo is available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). Mixed-device households are fully supported, parent on iPhone, kids on Android tablets, no problem. Everyone shares the same family account and data syncs in real time.

How long does it take to set up?

+

Most parents are up and running in under five minutes. Download the app, add your kids, assign a few chores, set up a reward or two. That's it. You don't need to read a manual or watch a tutorial. If you can figure out a group chat, you can figure out Kikaroo.
