FamZoo Family Finance App Reviews

FamZoo is now part of our family vernacular. Great tool.

Would like to see an iPad/iPad2 version... Especially since iPad/iPad2 apps tend to have more form & function to them...

This app is only a browser which will only point to this applications web site. You can view account balances but no functionality that I would expect in an app like this such as allowing a child to mark off completed chores as is done by competitors. Note that this low review is strictly for the iPhone app and not for the actual services provided by the web site. Much more functionality there. Just dont expect anything from the app.

Note that support for mobile access to FamZoo checklists was added in Fall of 2013. You can now create checklists, add/edit/delete items, and check them off from the app with screens that are specifically optimized for mobile interaction.

Screen isnt scaled for iPhone 5 and its still an HTML-based UI so its not optimized for the device.

This is just a window to the website, and it performs accordingly. Clunky.

When you download the app and first open it, it asks you to login with a Family Name, Member Name, and password. There is no "create an account" or "forgot password" functionality. Missing the very basics so I deleted it a minute after downloading.

We love famzoo, but the app is crashing whenever we try to open it on iOS 9.01.

No longer works since I updated to iOS 9.

Im a massive fan. The app stopped working and it makes me realize how much I counted on it all the time. Cant wait for the new release!

Installed it fine but when I try to open, it sadly crashes before it even opens. I hoped it would work as having a mobile way to check off chores is a requirement. Good start guys but needs work still.

Please be aware all who are considering purchasing this program: the app does not work for iOS 9 as of the date of this review. The functionality of this service depends on quick, mobile access and you do not have such access now.

This used to work great. No longer works with iOS9. Continuously crashes.

Just doesnt work. Always crashes on iphone 5s.

We set up FamZoo over a year ago to manage our kids allowances and teach them about finance. With the app, I can not only debit or credit accounts on the fly, but my ten-year old tracks his spending and savings each week. He has set up a long term goal and realized the benefits of compound interest. And hes motivated to earn more money--I now have a laundry helper!!

I love this app. As a working mom, I dont always have cash nor the time to monitor my sons chores. I love that I can direct deposit money into my sons account so he also learns to manage his money on a bi-weekly basis. This app has been a time and lifesaver!!

This app is great. I had written a review with all the details and then the App Store said I used a duplicate title and closed on me. Argh. So check it out yourself. A few of the cool things you can do- - pay your kids a direct deposit just like mom and dad - virtually add birthday and holiday cash/checks and then deposit the money into your own account. When the kids want to use their money, they go through you. - set up an age-based allowance where you kids get a raise every year - have their deposit divvied up between checking, savings, and charity accounts Im sure theres more. (In fact I know there is) but these are the features we use and love. Famzoo is awesome. Check it out!!!

This app and their debit cards have solved our struggle with allowances. The kids love checking their balances and using their own debit cards to make purchases. I definitely recommend!

I love having an app that lets me teach my kids real life money skills.

Famzoo is the only way we can keep track of our six kids and their money. Automatic allowance is awesome.
