You Did It! Released

Mobilesce Inc. today released You Did It! 1.0 for iPad users. This is a new, motivating application that helps kids earn fun rewards by completing chores. You Did It! can track chore lists for up to six children and is fully parental-controlled. The app contains chore and reward suggestions but parents are free to add custom ones. As an extra fun incentive, kids can earn and save credits until they have enough to purchase interactive, vocal stickers at the in-app virtual store.
