Hunter's comment

Child participation in housework and the rewards are a common cause of the conflict between parents and children. The new generation is difficult to motivate with paper lists, so the solution is the mobile application Homey which gamifies the process and makes it entertaining.
Homey motivates children to cooperate, and parents can easily reward for their children's behavior and housework.

The application gamify the housework tasks for the whole family, and not just for children since it links the tasks with rewards. Parents can set up prizes as desired, such as a mobile game for children, a movie from the Internet, mobile toy chips played by children, pocket money, or a product from an online store.

Typical users are larger families, usually with three children and mothers who are active on social networks and remain at home. They have traditional family values that children actively participate in the household, which means they spend more time organizing housework tasks.
