What other parents say:

Beautiful Elegant Allowance Tracker

I have tried about ten allowance tracking apps, and I gave up on all of them and eventually tracked in a spreadsheet. I also refuse to pay a monthly fee to use an app—I’m trying to teach my children responsible money practices here, and forgetting about yet another monthly subscription is irresponsible imo (Bomad is free but I would gladly pay a one-time payment). All this to say Bomad is everything: beautiful design, simple to use, accommodates reoccurring payments and debits, does not complicate and gamify children’s chores and allowances. Thank you to the lovely developer who also provides helpful tips via newsletter on using the app and creating responsible money practices for our children.

Easy Peasy

Bomad is great if you want a simple allowance and spend tracker for your children. It’s easy and quick to add or revise entries, allows for money to be split into different goals (ex. Allowance, Charity, Gifts), and has a reoccurring setting for repeat expenses like weekly allowance or monthly subscriptions. It also helps that the app works well on both iPhone and iPad. Plus the app is free!!!

I've been looking for a simple user friendly app to keep track of my kid's allowance and spending. And I found Bomad, it's perfect! No ads, just straightforward automatic calculations for you. Also super convenient for me as we travel we spend in different currencies, this app has the exchange rate feature so you don't have to convert the figures yourself. Big thanks to Bomad!! :)
