What’s New in MyChoreBoard: Progress Charts, Big Icons & a Smoother Experience

We’ve been busy behind the scenes making MyChoreBoard even more helpful for families.
This update adds two major new features — and a few invisible improvements — that make tracking chores and rewards simpler, clearer, and more fun for kids.

These improvements were all inspired by feedback from real MyChoreBoard families — parents who wanted clearer progress tracking, easier child views, and a smoother daily routine experience.

New: Progress & Points Dashboard

Parents and kids can now see at a glance how things are going with the new Progress & Points view.

Switch between Day, Week, and Month to visualize completed tasks, remaining opportunities, and missed points.
Each child’s chart updates automatically as chores are done (or skipped), so everyone knows exactly where they stand.

Highlights:

• View daily, weekly, or monthly progress
• See Done, Remaining, and Missed totals instantly
• Separate pies for Tasks and Points
• Smart color coding for quick scanning

Big Icon Mode (for Non-Readers)

Younger kids or early readers can now enjoy an easier-to-tap interface with Big Icons Mode.
Turn it on under Edit Child → Big Icons Mode to enlarge icons and touch targets — perfect for small hands.

Text stays the same size, but chores become bolder and more accessible.
Parents can customize this per child, so older siblings keep their normal view while younger ones get an easier one.

Small Fixes, Big Improvements

We also cleaned up a few edge-case bugs (the kind only developers lose sleep over).
These changes make chore tracking faster and more reliable, even in rare sync situations or when using MyChoreBoard offline.
