No email address for Kids - No Problem! Add a Secondary Device to your family using Family QR Code

Follow

Let's say that you have kids at home who are too young to have an email address or their own device and you want to install the app on the family device that everyone uses. You can add a secondary device to your family using the following steps.

TL;DR:

Advantages of using this method are many

  1. You don't need an email address or password to access the app
  2. The device never gets logged out. Once paired, you can close and open the app and it always stays signed in
  3. As a parent, you don't have to share your email address and password
  4. Along with the latest "Quick Update", this is the easiest way to mark a chore complete.

This is a two-part process. 

 

Part 1: Find your Family QR Code

Step 1: Navigate to the Family Tab and click the Family Settings on the top right corner.

Moving forward, anytime you open the app, you will be directly taken to the Choose Profile screen rather than the login screen where the kids can select their profile, and use the app to manage their activities.
