I love when apps help solve parenting problems. I suspect many parents are like me and find it challenging to manage their children’s allowances and screen time. I want my children to develop healthy financial habits and I don’t want to be nagging them all day to get off their tablets, but I find myself not bothering with allowances and currently their screen time is out of control.

So I was thrilled to discover the Kidibank™ app and I agreed to test it out and spread the word to other parents. This post is sponsored, so extra thanks for reading and sharing.

Kidibank App

With summer coming, I’m not looking forward to trying to enforce screen time limits with my kids. Since I work at home, I often let them spend far too long on their devices because I don’t have time and energy to negotiate and listen to their complaints.

Well, this summer I’m going to get the Kidibank™ app to help me manage my kids’ screen time. I love that the app doesn’t just have a set screen time limit, but it allows you to add and deduct time.

Similarly, you can use the Kidibank™ app to manage your kids’ allowances and help them learn healthy financial habits. You can add amounts to their allowances and schedule “Big Days”.

Kidibank Targets

When your children can take positive actions and reach goals to earn more screen time or allowance, it can boost their self-competence and self-esteem. This app makes it fun and easy to teach children to set attainable goals and then work towards reaching those goals.

And if you let the app be the one informing your child of their screen time limits, you won’t have to spend all your time nagging. You can enjoy more screen-free time together and your children will have more time to play creatively without technology.

Kidibank App

I love that there are no ads and no in-app purchases. It’s available in all stores with a FREE month trial that works as a family subscription across all platforms. The yearly family subscription is $12.99 and there are no additional charges for upcoming content & features.

  1. i like that it teaches them to save and i love the screen time allowence.

  2. Instant Balances – Allowance/pocket money tracking on the GO & instantly switch between children’s accounts, with a swipe Great for multi children families

  3. I think the screen time management would be the most useful part of this app since it is the one thing I have a hard time managing in the summer.

  7. My daughter showed me this app a while back. I do love the positive goal management and how the app allows her to physically see and connect her achievements with her rewards. Of course, I also love the screen time management feature 🙂

  8. I like the feature of gaining financial knowledge and teaching the kids how to save for the future.

  9. All three of my children have different needs, and this app would be beneficial for all, but in different ways. For my middle child, and ten year old, it would be the positive goal setting portion. He has a little of a tween attitude this summer, so I would love to see him working toward setting goals on his own, to work for things, to earn, or just to have a positive outcome in mind.

  13. I like Kidibank’s Positive Goal Management feature bc my son is really into his responsibility chart right now so I think he’d like goals charts so he can watch how he’s progressing towards his savings goals

  15. Learning to save! My kids need this for sure, they’re all about instant gratification, money burning a hole in their pockets!

  16. I like the learning to save feature. I think it would be great for kids to learn such an important trait.

  18. the ability to see their balance instantly would be great as my son is learning how to count and it would be a good exercise for him to see his savings grow

  19. Teaching kids how to save would be the most important thing. I have been trying to teach mine that for years, but it is hard in today’s world

  20. my favorite feature is the ability to schedule screen time. that is awesome.

  22. I like that this app encourages kids to save and see the results of saving rather than mindlessly spending their money.

  25. I limke that this can teach them the importance of saving- so much credit and instant gratification anymore. It can make them more responsible

  31. I like how it teaches kids how to save. It’s great to teach them at a young age.

  40. This looks and sounds like such an awesome service! I really love that this offers Positive Goal Management. I think that’s so important and useful for children growing and learning!

  55. I love that they can see the progress of earning money towards something they want

  58. I love the goal management. Sometimes its hard for kids to see what they have in relation to what they need to purchase something. I think this could be a huge help!

  59. I think the Positive goal management would be great, they tend to set a goal but get discouraged when they don’t make it in a timely fashion.

  60. I like Kidibank’s Positive Goal Management feature with goals charts so your child can watch how they are progressing towards their savings goals.

  63. The feature of the Kidibank app I would find the most useful is Learning to Save.
