Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I create an account?

Download the HousePoints app from the App Store, then sign in with Google, Apple, or Microsoft. Parents create the family account first, then can add children.

Can I try the app before signing up?

Yes! Use the "Try Demo" button on the login screen. You can explore as a parent ([email protected]) or child ([email protected]) with password "demo123".

For Parents

How do I add my children?

In the Settings tab, tap "Add Family Member" and create accounts for each child. You can set their display name, username, and avatar.

How do I assign chores?

Go to the Manage tab, create chore templates with point values, then assign them to your children with due dates. You can also set recurring schedules.

How do I verify completed chores?

When a child marks a chore complete, it appears in your Home tab under "Needs Verification" or in the Ops tab. Tap Verify to approve and award points.

For Kids

How do I earn points?

Complete your assigned chores and mark them done in the app. Once your parent verifies them, you'll earn points that show in your stats.

What can I do with points?

Points can be redeemed for rewards that your parents set up, like screen time, treats, or special activities. Check the Market tab to see available rewards.

How does the leaderboard work?

The leaderboard shows rankings by points earned within different time periods (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and all-time). It's friendly competition with your siblings!
