Many children don’t like doing chores. But asking children to help with chores is more than just getting the house cleaned. It can also help children to be independent and responsible.
Luckily, there is an app to help. The app You Rule Chores lets kids get up from the sofa and do chores. Through smartphone games, the app turns children into housework helpers. “It is difficult to get kids to do work around the house. We made the app to teach kids self - control, which is very important to their future,” one of the app engineers said.

How to use You Rule Chores? First, each child needs to choose one of the app’s characters. Then the child can start to do chores. Once he finishes it, he can get some coins(硬币) from the app. He can use them to buy things from the online store.
