The deal

An app for your child, and a page of your own to see how their week went and to change what they are working on. Free for 14 days, then $7 a month or $59 a year.

Cancel any time, in two taps, and you keep the time you paid for. We do not make it hard and we will not ask you three questions first.

Nothing your child earned is ever taken away — not when you cancel, not when a card expires, not ever. That is the app's oldest promise and it applies to us too.

Keep your sign-in link to yourself, and do not use Climb Rewards to say anything to a child you would not say in front of them. That is the whole list.

We will keep it running and keep it backed up. We are a small thing, though, so we cannot promise it will never be down, and we do not promise Climb Rewards will change any particular child's behaviour — no app can.

Climb Rewards is not medical or psychological treatment and is not a substitute for it. If something is worrying you about your child, talk to someone who can help.

Climb Rewards is run by Matthew Goren, in Florida, USA. It is not a company yet — it is one person who built this for his own daughter and was asked by other families to let them use it.

That is worth knowing before you trust it with anything about your child, and it is why the answer to “who sees this?” is as short as it is.

You would get notice and a copy of everything, in a form you can read, before anything was switched off.
