SHOW KIDS HOW MONEY IS EARNED
With Homey you can pay kids commissions based on chores they do around the house like taking out the trash, cleaning their room, or mowing the grass. And you can also set responsibilities that are required to teach kids that everyone needs to contribute to the household.

SUPPORT LONG-TERM GOALS AND SAVING
Teach kids delayed gratification and financial responsibility by providing them with incentives that differ in value. With Homey kids learn they need to work longer or harder to earn more.

TEACH REAL LIFE FINANCIAL SKILLS
Homey enables you to transfer allowance and money kids earn directly to their savings or checking account or tracks the money as IOU and pay it out in cash. This way you can teach your child how banking works, they can accumulate interests on their savings and you can be sure that their money will stay safe.

Connecting your bank account and safely transferring allowance and chore money directly to your child's savings account. (US only)
Multiple saving jars for each child.

Glitches keep asking for me to restore my subscription when I haven't signed up and it doesn't show up in my subscriptions in Google Play. Hopefully, I won't get charged! More importantly, there seems to be no easy way to delete your account or your data. Current going through the FAQs and blogs to see how this is requested. How they are complying with data protection laws outside of the US I'm not sure.

Most of the features are great and make it easier to decide chores. Unfortunately after multiple attempts and uninstalling and reinstalling the app I can't get the notifications to work.

It has a bug! 🐛 after using it for a little less than a week. Homey, started malfunctioning and wouldn't let us open it for more than a minute. It would close out and then tell us there was a bug and to update it when the developer fixes it. Good concept though.
