AllowMe - Allowance Manager

If you have ever heard the words ‘I never got my allowance last week!’ you will like this tool. If you have several kids proclaiming various versions of it simultaneously then you need it!

AllowMe is an iPhone program for monitoring and managing children's allowances. It allows a parent to set up an account for each child based on a weekly allowance amount. Each account contains three sub-accounts: Sharing, Saving, and Spending.

AllowMe automatically divides and distributes the weekly allowance into into the sub-accounts based on selectable allocation percentages. AllowMe provides and easy way to view the account balances, record distributions of money and review previous transactions.

With each transaction a descriptive email is send with current balances to kids and/or spouses email account documenting the transaction.

IMPORTANT: No actual monetary transactions are perfrmed by AllowMe. AllowMe simply tallies and records transactions and maintains balances to help the parent and child manage the allowance.

When the child wants money a few button presses in AllowMe records the distribution, subtracts it from the appropriate account, and automatically emails a record of the transaction and subsequent balances to the child and/or spouse.

Program settings such as email, password and Family Name reside in the global iPhone settings facility. Multiple email addresses may be entered separated by a semicolon. If an email address is entered then email will be sent after every transaction. Due to iPhone limitations this causes control to switch to the email client program. You may simply re-start AllowIt after sending the email. Canceling the email only prevents the email from being sent. It will not delete the transaction.

Transaction details may be selected and edited.

To deposit into any account a negative amount may be entered. This causes the program to add that amount to the specified account.

Transaction details are kept and for review.
