DadCredits needs JavaScript to run the meter, the plan sheet and the top-up animation. This is a kids-app upsell screen that begs you to buy more dad.

HOW RENEWAL WORKS
Every kid starts at 5 Dad Credits. A bedtime story costs the same credit as a driveway catch or an "ask your mother," roughly one credit every twelve seconds of use.
No goodbye, no countdown screen. The bar just drains, the status line flips to SUBSCRIPTION LAPSED, and dad's icon goes gray in the app.
You did not tap anything. At zero credits, the top-up sheet slides up on its own timer and asks which tier of dad you'd like to buy back.
Starter, Family, or Premium, each one buys a slightly different dad. The button confirms, the meter refills to 5, and the twelve-second clock starts over immediately.
FROM THE DEVELOPER
DadCredits is built by Loose Change Labs, the studio also behind MomPoints, GrandpaGO, and a BabysitterRewards app that is currently suspended pending a billing review. Our mission is simple: turn every form of parental attention into a number that can go up, down, or straight to zero at two in the morning.
The app ships with one dad, rationed at five credits a day. He does not apologize when the meter hits empty. He does not need to. The store reopens for him.
WHAT'S NEW
APP STORE REVIEWS
Written for the bit, not collected from real users. Any resemblance to your own subscriptions is a coincidence.
buys_snacks_not_love
Cancelled Premium Dad by accident and he stopped mid-sentence in the driveway. Resubscribed in four minutes flat. Works exactly as advertised.
secondkid_energy
My brother's dad renews weekly without fail. Mine hits Family Plan on the 1st and drops to Starter by the 15th. The app calls this "usage-based," which does not feel fair.
homework_help_pls
Family Plan dad actually explains long division. Starter dad says "carry the one" and leaves the room. Both perform exactly to their tier description.
outof_credits_again
Woke up to zero credits and a push notification reading "Dad requires a top up." No one warned me the overnight drain was a feature and not a bug.
Developer response: Overnight drain is intentional and helps us serve you better. A future update may add a Sleep Mode add-on for an additional fee.
BILLING SUPPORT
The meter runs on a fixed interval whether or not the app is open. Dad does not pause because you're asleep, and neither does the billing cycle.
Starter includes one school pickup and a half-hearted high five, both delivered as described. Under the terms you agreed to without reading them, that counts as full performance.
Nothing happens. That is the feature working correctly.
Unlimited within the hours he is awake, which average around six a day and closer to four on weekends.
Any time. Switching down mid-cycle drains the meter immediately, which is standard across every subscription in this genre.
Unconfirmed. The reflection in the black glass at the top of the screen has never answered a support ticket.
