Need Apple Watch support!
Emily Finn
You need to extend the app versions to work on Apple Watch, so kids don’t have to unlock their iPad to see daily chores and goals. Many kids have Apple Watch instead of phones, so being able to see their daily chores or jobs there is key! This keeps them from potentially getting sucked into games/other distractions on the iPad when they just need to quickly see chores or jobs available that day.

Apple Watch Support

Many parents, including myself, are choosing Apple Watches as their child's first device, and it’s frustrating that Greenlight doesn’t support it. Currently, there’s no Greenlight app available for Apple Watch, which is a major limitation. Adding Apple Watch compatibility would make it much easier for kids to manage their finances while providing parents with another way to oversee transactions.

Adding on to this one. My son currently only has an Apple Watch. It will always be useful to have this feature. Currently without a web browser option, it would be the only way he could independently view his balance. Unfortunately, his current method is to try to buy stuff and see if his account is declined (less than ideal, though perhaps a teachable moment too). Even if it is a good lesson, it does not reflect access they will have as adults well.

Jackie can there be a timeline of this? At minimum all that’s needed is a read-only web view of kid accounts or make the iOS app compatible with MacOS like many other apps do. Tangential, is there a way to see what the feature roadmap is? It would be nice to know what feature are or have been prioritized over this.

Agreed, my kids also have apple watches instead of phones and having a quick balance check on their watches when they are out and about would be a huge improvement.
