Reward Charts by Stellar

I’m only writing this review because there’s not enough information in the description and absolutely no way to contact the developer. I want to know if the in-app purchase includes the ability to sync charts between two users (my wife and I) so we both have access to our kids’ charts?

I have learned a lot of lessons from Stellar and love the app. It always helps me to achieve my goals.

There are no directions telling you how to use the app. Very difficult to get to the screen to add stars

Great app!! Keeps my kids motivated, they love earning stars!

Absolutely fantastic! Wish I had found it sooner

I’ve been using this app for 2 years with my now 8 year old and she still loves earning stars. Great one time price

I need 100 stars. It would be nice to be able to do custom amounts.

More important than the calendar. More important than the to-do list. Why? Because Stellar helps me change my habits, so that I actually USE the calendar and the to-do list. And write down my ideas. And take action instead of being indecisive. It is life-changing. With Stellar, I have the power to implement any change I want and make it stick. GET THIS APP. (I use it for myself, not for my kids, so all claims are for an adult with their own phone using the app to improve their own life.) I have backgrounds in both psychology and design, and I can tell that the developer has either really done their research or they’ve iterated to empirically find what works. Or both. For example, the sparkle animation when a star is awarded may seem unnecessary, but it actually serves as a visual reward, reinforcing the desired behavior. You can use this app however you want, and it will probably still help you, but if you want to know how I use it, read on. Here’s what I do: 1. I use only one sticker chart, and I keep it going at all times. When I finish it, I make the new one immediately, and I get a sticker for doing that. (What? You don’t deserve a sticker just for making a new chart! Yes, I do, because the habit of using this app is the foundation of my productivity, so I reward actions that keep that foundation strong.) 2. Every time I do anything that aligns with who I want myself to be, I immediately give myself a sticker. Every time I do a behavior that I want to reinforce, I immediately give myself a sticker. Every time I finish something that I would normally procrastinate, or even if I start working on something I’d normally procrastinate, or if I do something that I would normally resent but that needs to get done, I give myself a sticker. All my stickers go on the same chart. 3. When I make the new chart, I choose one identity-based intention and write it in the top space (the title). Examples: Action oriented. Decisive. 4. For the subtitle, I write a sentence that I would like to have be true about myself, about the physical behavior that shows the identity I am cultivating. For example, for “action oriented”: “I do it now because the ‘better time’ I’m waiting for doesn’t exist.” Or for “decisive”: “I sense what I’ve already started to do, and I just do it.” 5. Whenever I give myself a sticker, I watch the sparkly animation, and I celebrate the behavior that earned the sticker. I also read the title and subtitle, and I reaffirm my inte

My kids love the thrill of putting a star in its place, hearing the sound effects, and seeing glitter! This has really helped motivate my 4 and 6 year old for homeschooling and other tasks. It’s a simple, helpful tool. We like that we can make multiple star charts for multiple people. When we finish a chart, we have the option to make the same one again (archived charts). Unfortunately, the app frequently freezes up and needs to be closed and reopened. I also wish there was an option to easily clear a chart. We like to give prizes for stars earned each week and then start fresh the next week, but there isn’t a simple way to do this. We have to either create a new chart or delete stars earned in the current chart.

Amazing tool for kids
