Customize S’moresUp to Fit Your Family’s Needs

Not every family uses a savings system for rewards, and that’s perfectly fine! S’moresUp is designed to adapt to your unique preferences. If you’d rather not use the savings feature, you can easily turn it off and focus on chore tracking, rewards, or other aspects of the app that work for your family. Let’s explore how to customize your child’s profile to disable savings.

How to Turn Off the Savings Feature

1. Disable Savings Access

If you prefer not to use the savings feature, here’s how you can turn it off for each child:

Open the Family Tab and access the child’s Profile Settings:
- Tap the child’s profile picture, or use the gear icon in the Family Settings.
Navigate to Settings in the profile menu.
Locate the Savings (Oink! Oink!! Bank) option and toggle it off.
- This will remove access to the savings feature from the child’s account.

2. Adjust Display Preferences

Streamline the app’s interface to focus on chores and other features:

Go to Display Preferences in the child’s profile.
Select a mode or customize the layout:
- Classic Mode: Simplifies the app with essential features, excluding savings.
- Custom Mode: Manually adjust settings to disable savings while keeping other features active.

3. Use Rewards Without Savings

If your family still uses rewards but doesn’t want to manage savings:

Reward S’mores Points directly without requiring them to be saved for specific goals.
Allow kids to redeem points as they earn them, bypassing the savings process entirely.

Why Turning Off Savings Might Work for You

- Skip savings and let family members enjoy immediate gratification for their efforts.
Simplify the App Experience
- Remove unnecessary features to make the app easier for your family to use.
Align with Your Values
- Customize S’moresUp to reflect what works best for your parenting style, whether that’s focusing on chores, teamwork, or other non-monetary incentives.
