Approve of chores being completed

Alden Meneses
It would be nice to add the ability to give some feedback on the job completed.
use cases:
- chore/job was completed but did not meet parent's requirements. the feedback can be used to clarify those requirements.
- parent's want to cheer/congratulate kid on getting a chore/job completed. it is nice to get praise and see how they are collected. From a parent perspective it would be nice to see if I give the kid enough praise and if i need to step up my game. From a kid perspective, while money is great, it would also be nice to get the praise and reflect on it over time.

Kids should add evidence of work done.
Currently kids are checking all chores to get the allowance.

I don’t want my kid able to mark chores as complete

Please add a feature where parents can choose whether their child gets to mark their own chores as complete. My kid happily checks off their chores without completing them and I can’t always catch it or remember what they did when. I review things before allowance disburses but not every day. Ideally the kid could mark a chore as complete and it would be pending until parent review. Thanks!

This is actually what I came here to post for. I got a link from customer service to put in my request on this site. Decided to see if others had requested it first and glad to see it! I upvoted it so GL can see there's more people wanting this feature!
According to the support agent, they are actively working on a feature like this. Hopefully that's true and hoping it comes out sooner than later.

We hear you, Andrea. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Same issue here. The night before allowance payout, the child will retroactively mark all chores complete to get full allowance payout... As a result of this dishonesty, the new max allowance is reduced by the amount of chores I know were not completed. If it happens again, allowance will be eliminated.

J Forester this is my first month having this for my kids. As I was playing around with the app, I saw this exact loophole. One of my children would absolutely not do this, but my other might. I was looking for a way to prevent this from happening and was shocked this isn't already accounted for yet. Wild.
