Image 1 of your screenshots should replace the two iphones showing a splash screen (they serve no purpose + I don't want to see your splash page - if you use them just for links, just make a get it now button). I had to click the screenshots to find out what the app does. If this wasn't on HN I would have simply left the site and moved on.

Also, I hate links that open up iTunes. If you're going to do so, let me know first.


Agree with you on the 2 splash screen. I am not defending, but all the 'Available on appStore' badge all over the web always takes you to the iTunes. Its an expected behavior, but I know it can be irritating for some!


Who: Parents of kids between 3-13

Why: To motivate the kids to be good and earn rewards

How: Kids earn stars for the tasks assigned and later star balance converted to actual rewards.

Comments, suggestions?


I know its an iPhone app, but the "here's an iPhone with some icons standing up with reflective surfaces everywhere" immediately pegs the site as a iPhone fad cash-cow wannabe.

I'm not saying that's what it really is - but if you follow these trends/fads, people immediately pay less attention to your product.


Yea, I agree with you a bit - the reflective thing is little way too much done!


Not really about the app (It looks neat however) but on the site, the "Take a tour" section should display the screen shots in a gallery, lightbox or some such. It's rather hard to view them all.


Guess it IS a lightbox. If you click on any of those thumbnails, it opens a lightbox slideshow.


I like it
