    Any other parents here use a pocket money app? Recommendations? My current system of marking it on the fridge has some drawbacks…

      How old are the kids? I have used Spriggy since my kid was in about grade 5 or 6, and that’s worked fine. He has a card to use for spending and I can update it when funds get low.

      I can’t think of what I’d need an app for? Do you pay them per job or something? If so, we do have a sort-of currency with Garmin Junior stars for chores.

      They get $2 cash each week (We pick up coin rolls and dispense them) and $10 cash they take into the branch to deposit each month.

      They can do whatever they like with the coins, but they never really see the deposits again. Hopefully will be a couple of grand when they’re 18ish.
