Reward Charts by Stellar

The developer was highly responsive and helped me realize my total failure to see the little dots on the bottom and realize you swipe left or right to move among charts 🤦🏻‍♀️ my bad!! Paid for the premium version so I could have multiple charts going for multiple kids (i.e. earning book fair money, good behavior chart, etc.) but you can’t actually add stars to any charts other than the last one you create. SO DISAPPOINTING. I would like my money back.

My kids love the thrill of putting a star in its place, hearing the sound effects, and seeing glitter! This has really helped motivate my 4 and 6 year old for homeschooling and other tasks. It’s a simple, helpful tool. We like that we can make multiple star charts for multiple people. When we finish a chart, we have the option to make the same one again (archived charts). Unfortunately, the app frequently freezes up and needs to be closed and reopened. I also wish there was an option to easily clear a chart. We like to give prizes for stars earned each week and then start fresh the next week, but there isn’t a simple way to do this. We have to either create a new chart or delete stars earned in the current chart.

The app is a nice idea but it’s not flexible enough. I don’t like that I can’t set a custom goal of stars, it’s preset options like 7, 10, 20 and that doesn’t fit our needs. I also don’t like that once they’ve achieved all the “stars” or “stickers” the chart is “archived” and no longer a goal to work on. There needs to be an option that the chart just clears to start over. My kids have daily and weekly things to complete and each sticker or star they earn goes towards video game time on the weekend. For example “I will get read for school appropriately and in time in the morning”. I would also rather see ALL the goals listed altogether under one child rather than have to swipe to each one. Overall the app falls short and I probably won’t use it, but it was only worth $5.
