DooCoins

What DooCoins is

DooCoins is a family app that helps parents teach children responsibility, goal-setting, and habits through tasks, virtual DooCoins, and rewards. In the parent app, adults can create tasks, ToDoos, routines, and allowances, approve or decline requests, and follow balances and activity. Children can use the Kids app to view tasks, request completion, track balances and savings goals, claim rewards, and review transaction history. Family+ lets parents share children with co-parents, grandparents, or caregivers. DooCoins are virtual currency within the app, not cryptocurrency. The free version works offline, saves data locally, and needs no account; it includes unlimited children, tasks, and rewards, plus the last 20 transactions per child. Family+ costs $2.99 a month and adds the Kids companion app, cloud sync, push notifications, family sharing, routines, ToDoos, weekly allowances, and unlimited history. The maker says the app has no ads or tracking. Its privacy policy says it collects a child’s first name or screen name and task and reward information, but not other identifying details such as a last name, address, or date of birth.

Who it suits

DooCoins suits families who want parents to assign tasks and rewards while children track goals and activity. Family+ is for households that want shared access among caregivers or cloud-synced history.

Limits

The free plan includes only the last 20 transactions per child. Family+ costs $2.99 a month; its account recovery requires the recovery phrase set up with Internet Identity.

Verdict
