Before we went away on vacation, I came a cross a great app called You Promised. You know when you promise something to your kids just to shut them up? Yeah me too,
…….well some brainiac has developed an app to keep track of that. So now we get to keep those promises we say so flippantly because they’re recorded…. DOH!
But truthfully, it’s an awesome idea and one that my kids, especially Miss Gremlin has taken to. Getting to hear themselves make a promise and record it is a real novelty. But it’s not just for the kids…. I wish it was around when The King promised to take me to Paris for our 10th wedding Anniversary. It may have motived him to get me there sooner than our almost 14th ๐ Ah but that’s ok. I’m patient and he did keep his promise.
I can think of a thousand uses and we used it all around Europe.
- I promise to take you to an Irish Bar- check
- I promise you won’t fall off the Eiffel Tower-check
- I promise we can have croissants for breakfast everyday when we get back to America-check
And for the kids:
- I promise to remember to brush my teeth everyday-
- I promise to keep my room tidy-
These last 2 are still in progress but they are working on it.
See how versatile this app is? Limited only by your imagination.
Download it now and help your children learn how to keep their word. Just be careful what YOU promise ๐
Also check them out on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date with the latest developments.

That seems like it would also be good for remembering New Year’s Resolutions. For example, I promised I would not give the kids anymore wedgies in 2013 and sometimes my husband still has to remind me. Thankfully I have made it thus far without the app, but Imma download it just in case. ๐
I’d love this if it actually forced the kid to KEEP their promise, too. Does that cost extra?

Yeah I like it…
That is the funniest thing ever! Where was that app when I was growing up?! And I wonder if it works for spouses, too.

sure it does! You can use it for anything. I think it’s a great app. I use it heaps..
Hahah. Genius. Just be careful on what you promise them though. It might bite you in the ass. lol
Thanks for the comments all ! Glad you enjoy it.
Just a note, if you’ve gotten the app, make *sure* to grab the latest update (1.4) and run it once, this will make sure you don’t see any ads and get all the future updates for free. We’re moving to a free-ad version, to get more “tweens” and teens to use it.
Thanks and enjoy!
