Gradestar is a new homework app that is designed to make it easier than ever for parents to motivate their children to finish their assignments on time.
Think of this homework app is a modern version of the old-school star chart. Parents can use the app to tempt children with rewards for positive behaviors such as completing assignments or even doing chores. Student users can accumulate 'gradestars' and redeem them for rewards. The app works with both Gradestar-generated awards as well as rewards specially determined by the parents themselves.
Ultimately, this homework app gamifies homework assignments in order to motivate children to do their work, in the process making it easier for parents to reward their children for their productivity.
