Amazing Apps: BusyKid

Most apps for kids are games, some just for fun and some with an educational slant. Instead of helping a lost puppy find its way through the forest, the BusyKid app lets kids run their own home business using the cash they earn for spending, saving or even investing in the stock market. Now available on iOS and Android, kids are assigned jobs by their parents in the app. On Fridays, they get paid for the tasks they’ve completed. Money can be loaded to the BusyKid Spend Card and used for in-store or online purchases. It can also be automatically deposited into savings or used by kids to buy partial stock in companies they are fans of like Nike, Amazon, Apple, etc.
