GeekMom is very excited to announce our newest sponsor, Nannek, maker of interesting and useful apps for the iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone. Members of the Moms with Apps group, they also participate in the Apple educational discount program. Meeting an important need, they have created both Chore Pad HD for the iPad, and Chore Pad for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
As part of our introduction to Nannek, we’re holding a giveaway for ten redeem codes for Chore Pad HD (for the iPad). Chore Pad HD is fantastic for helping organize the family chores around the house. It is much more useful than regular chore charts. You can assign chores to specific family members and chart their progress. Chores can be repeated or assigned to any number of people. Use rewards to motivate kids or reluctant housemates! Even if you don’t have a family to organize, Chore Pad HD also works very well in other settings. Roommate situations, classrooms with and without special needs, and even adult home environments can all easily take advantage of this app.
Some other features include:
- Weekly and daily chore chart views
- Chore icons
- Fun sounds and animations
- Collect stars to “buy” rewards
- See all rewards received in the rewards history view
- Collect checkmarks to earn trophies
- Add chores to the Chore Chest for easy assignment to multiple users
- Customize chores for each user
- Set up repeat intervals and assign chores to any combination of days
- Drag and drop chore reordering
- User photo selection
- Data protection through the Settings application
- Star modifiers, you can add or subtract stars on individual chore cells
- Start Screen consolidates User, Chore and Reward management
- Start Screen provides quick access to Help, Social links, and Settings
Chore Pad HD has won second place in the 148 Best App Ever 2010 in the parenting category for iPad and the November 2010 Cool iPad Showcase award. It was featured as app of the week on Apps with Children for Special Needs for the week of March 6, 2011. It is widely reviewed and recommended for families and also for people with special needs.
To enter the contest for one of the ten redeem codes for Chore Pad HD, please comment on this post. Be sure to include contact information (email preferred). One entry per person. The ten winners will be chosen randomly from the entries. The contest ends at midnight Pacific Daylight Time on Friday, April 8, 2011. If you are not one of the winners, you can still purchase Chore Pad HD for $4.99 on iTunes, or Chore Pad (for iPod Touch and iPhone) for $2.99.

This would be great for my children!
This looks so very awesome!
very cool! This just might get my kids motivated for chores!
I wonder if this would be more effective than Chore Wars for my younger two. Looks like a great idea! 🙂
Looks better than the paper charts we hang on the fridge!
how awesome that would for DH and the small.. and I wouldnt forget the paper charts hanging all over the house.
This would be really good for my special needs son– we need a consistent rewards chart, and this just might work!
That’s a chart my boys wouldn’t let me forget to update.
This would be great for making sure things get done around here!
I’d love to see more chore software/app reviews. Thanks for this one, and thanks to the comment mentioning Chore Wars — will check it out as I do not have an iPad.
This looks like a fun way for kids to think positively about their chores. Love the way ipad is being integrated into “real” life.
Sounds fantastic!
This would help with the craziness during the week, when it’s hard to remember from day-to-day what has to get done. Plus, my computer-loving kids might be more motivated to help!
How neat! I really like that it can multi-task the chore tracking for me and gives out little virtual trophies 🙂
This looks awesome! My daughter would love it. carrienmarc(at)aol.com
this looks awesome! We’ve been working on organizing chore charts (as posted on my blog) mostly using photoshop. I would love to try this, but I only have an ipone, no ipad 🙁
I’m really excited about using this app with my daughter as she gets older. In the mean time, my wife and I use to keep track of our household duties.
I’m excited to give this a try for juggling chores for my family of 5. I do wish there was a desktop companion for it, though!
This looks wonderful! I would love an app to organize my house even more. Thank you for sharing this wonderful app.
i think this app looks like a great way to get kid into using a chore chart – around here we’ve used three different charts with varying success
Lovin’ it!
