KKid is an app for parents and their children to keep up with chores and allowance. With this app parents can create child accounts and add chores to their profile. Kids can then login and see their chores and mark them off each day. By turning on the allowance feature parents can add/subtract money from the kid's allowance account (this is a virtual "account" to show the kids how much allowance they have, no money is actually exchanged within the KKid app, think of it as a notebook) and the kids can view this when they login as well.
On the login screen you can enter your username/email and password then click login to access the application.
If you need to create a new Master Parent (household) account you may click on "New Parent Account"
If you have forgotten your password you may enter your username in the username field and click "Forgot Password" and a reset link will be emailed to you.
Kiosk Mode is now available. Kiosk mode allows the iDevice to be used as a kiosk for all users under the account of the admin/master user logged in. Basically same as logging in as admin supplying access to all users under master account but without admin functions. To enable kiosk mode login as an admin user but with kiosk: in front of username. So username jane would be kiosk:jane.
NOTE: Child accounts and additional parent accounts for an existing household must be created after logging in as the master user or an admin user

NOTE: It is recommended that you enable movie rating limits on your child's device before enabling this module
Movie Details Screen
This screen will show you details for the selected movie including Release date, overview, and rating
If available this screen will also play a trailer of the selected movie.
To replay the trailer you can click on the backdrop image.
Playing of movie trailers honors content restrictions on the device. Example: if a device is restricted to PG movies then the movies detail screen will not play movie trailers for movies rated above PG. NOTE: This restriction uses the movie rating as provided by TMDb. If a movie is not rated or there is no rating on file with TMDb then the trailer will not be restricted unless the rating restriction is set to Do Not Allow Movies.
Wish List Module
This screen shows a list of items on the kid's wish list.
Items may be added to the wish list by clicking the add (+) button in the upper right.
If a URL link is provided when adding the item to the list then that item will show a link icon in the list and when you tap on that item it will take you to the link to ensure there is no confusion as to what item the person wants.
The share icon in the upper right will allow you to share a link to your wish list with other people. The link is a web link so other users without KKid access may still view your list (like grandparents/friends/family).
