It does its job on that part and it also offers more than just organize and track chores.
Other features include a calendar that you can sync with Google so all members know the upcoming events or occasions. It also has a notification to be reminded of the tasks assigned, and it allows customization like determining how often the task is done and what time.

It’s easy to use
The app is user-friendly, which makes it perfect to be used by family members, including younger kids. The adults have different controls for the kids, so the young ones will only have access to the features available for them like their tasks and the smores they collect.
