The 'PocketJam' app is a clever solution for parents and guardians to use as a way to incentivize kids to practice their educational lessons in order to earn their allowance.
The app works by having kids solve age-appropriate math problems in order to unlock their pocket money instead of just having it given to them. After the user has solved the problem and been given the money, the app will encourage them to save it and even provide an added bonus if they choose to do so. This could work effectively to teach the principles of money to children at an earlier stage and encourage better habits.
The 'PocketJam' app also provides parents and guardians with insights into how the child is progressing with their math skills, how much they're saving or spending and more.
