Continuous Improvements
We are actively enhancing the app by adding new features and refining its functionality, based on ongoing feedback and development efforts.
Challenge
The client’s goal was to build a parenting app for child tasks and rewards on the iOS platform. This app would enable parents to foster responsibility and productivity in their children, as well as help kids develop essential skills and build healthy habits. The application needed to have the functionality for setting tasks for children and rewarding them when the tasks are completed.
The client approached us after being dissatisfied with an MVP built by another team. With added pressure to avoid further setbacks, we were tasked with delivering an app that would meet all requirements and justify a second investment. Initially, we planned to continue developing the existing parents and children chore app, but after thorough analysis, we decided it would be more efficient to rebuild the app from scratch, reusing only a few small components.
Solution
We developed a mobile app for iOS that allows parents to assign tasks to their children and track their progress. Children earn points for completing tasks, which can be redeemed for real-life rewards and used to unlock in-app customization features for their virtual mascots. The app has two distinct interfaces: one for parents, where they can set and monitor tasks, and another for children, where they can view their to-do lists and track their progress.
In the parent’s account, they can assign tasks, create custom rewards, and monitor task completion. They can evaluate the quality of the work and decide whether to reward the child or have them try again. Children, in their account, can view their tasks and mark them as completed once done. They earn points and trophies, which they can use to customize their in-app mascots.
Parent’s Account
In the app, parents can assign tasks, create custom rewards, track task progress, and view analytics. When a child completes a task and notifies them about it, parents can then evaluate the quality of the work and decide whether to close the task and reward a child or have them try again.
Child’s Account
Children can view their tasks and mark them as completed once a child is done with the assigned work. Upon completion, children get points and trophies that they can use for customizing their in-app mascots.
Security
Since the app’s target audience is children, security was one of our top priorities. First, we made it so that only adults can create accounts for their children. A parent downloads the app, signs up and then generates a unique link for their child to log in. This way, children can only connect with their own parents. On top of that, the app, the tasks and the child’s actions are fully controlled by parents and are protected with unique PIN codes.
Animated Mascots
Children can interact with their virtual mascots, while in the app. For the points kids receive from completed tasks,they will unlock different levels which include new accessories and animations for their characters to customize them to their taste. Only one mascot is available at the start, but the more points a child gets for doing chores, the more mascots become unlocked.
Task Notifications
Parents receive push notifications when a task is completed, allowing them to quickly check the child’s progress and provide feedback.
Rewards Catalog
Parents can create a rewards catalog with customizable options for their children to redeem points, offering a wide variety of reward types, from extra screen time to real-world experiences.
