Hey i see this as a sticker/star chart for the mobile generation. As a parent I would never use the app though.

I have failed as a parent If my kids have to be given points(or stars) in order for me to get them to do things.

It's about intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation. as far as possible we try to encourage intrinsic motivation and rewards are only used as a last resort.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you as far as intrinsic vs extrinsic motivations, but we have seen a need and feedback from hundreds of families who see Dangle as a tool for their tool box. If you are a parent I'm sure you know that your parenting style for each child is a bit different. We aren't for every family, but we have found a sweet spot with parents who travel weekly for work, work multiple jobs and, those who are divorced - yet still want to be a connected with their kids daily.

Congrats Laramie! I'm excited to watch Dangle grow and grow.

Awesome work, team. Great to see this on here!
