Just seems a bit absurd to me the amount of effort put into an idea that can be replicated in your own home by putting money in a jar for the kid and then when it's full enough to buy skyrim or whatever put the money in your pocket and order it off amazon for them.

Get to engage with your child on a person to person basis too… not parent via an app and servers.

Not to mention I really don't understand where all the investor money went with no product to show for it. Seen as the payment part never got fully fleshed out we're left with a several thousand dollar todo list...

The fact is that the solution needs to evolve as the kid gets older. This specific solution - a card based one - is best suited for teens.

What if your 14 year old is going to soccer camp in another state for a month? Handing them a jar stuffed with $400 of cash is not a great solution.

If your 14 year old is going to another state for a month then your 14 year old isn't going to be doing chores and you won't be needing to tip them for said chores.

I agree with theinternetman that this idea was ill-conceived and easily replicable.
