So here's my honest take on Acorns Early: Kids Money App. I've tried a bunch of money management apps for kids and this one's pretty solid. The automated allowance and savings goal features are great for teaching kids about budgeting. And the gamified educational content is a nice touch. But I will say, it can get a little repetitive after using it for a while. Overall though, I'd recommend this if you're looking for a hands-on way to get your kids interested in personal finance.

Description

Been using the Acorns Early: Kids Money App for a couple months now. It’s basically a smart money app that helps kids learn about earning, saving, and budgeting. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you do: there’s an automated allowance feature that teaches kids budgeting skills. You can also set up savings goals that parents can lock and unlock. And the in-app task lists are a cool way to teach the power of earning. It’s got some gamified quizzes and videos too, to make learning about money more fun.

Look, if you’re a parent trying to get your kids interested in personal finance, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the app can get a bit repetitive after a while – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.
