Stuck in a loop.

No matter what I do the app is stuck at the “Restore Purchases” screen and then it crashes. I’ve tried everything in the book. Even deleting the app, restarting my phone, and then installing the app again. It still goes to the same screen and crashes. Notifications are turned on. Subscription is active.(not anymore) Nothing works.

Work great until...

I loved this app. It worked great with my boyfriend and I living in separate houses and I was able to create a list of stuff we needed to do together, but now he can’t access merge because it wants him to subscribe and pay a fee. I understand there are upgrades you can subscribe to, but having to pay to use the app for its basic stuff... kind of ridiculous to me.

Pretty good app!

So far this app has helped my husband and I keep track of household tasks in a clean, simple way. I see us using this for a while!

Two small concerns, sometimes the app randomly closes on me. Also, we’ve noticed that if I ‘assign’ a task to my husband he does not have the same ‘rights’ if you will to delete/edit the task.

Overall we really like Merge!

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for your kind and thoughtful review! We're very excited to hear that Merge is helping you and your husband. With regards to your concerns, we hope that we have addressed the randomly closing/crashing issue with today's release of version 0.7. If not, please let us know by emailing us directly at hello@merge.fyi and we'll be happy to look into it for you. To your second concern, at this point the task assignor will have more rights to modify the task than the assignee. An assignee can always reassign a task to the assignor, or if they have more questions, can leave a comment (Merge Premium only). However, we'd love to hear from you why you might want to give both the same control over tasks. We are always open to new suggestions! Thank you for using Merge!

Love this App

It a great and simple tool to get a new interactive way to divide shores with your love or partner. Love the UI, Love the flexibility to tell that you are in a location or going home. Excellent app, I hope to see more features of it in the future.

Needs notifications

This could be a game changer but it needs to notify my partner we when I add stuff and when things are due. I am having to duplicate in a text because he isn’t notified, I might as well not use it.

So far no good

UPDATE:
Sometimes knowing how to do something is half the battle. The response I received after my first review was not only helpful but surprising. I never expected to receive a response from the developer. And their response was respectful and courteous. My review probably did not come across as such.
All that being said I am thankful for their advice on how to achieve what I was trying to do. I do look forward to future updates.
OLD REVIEW: (I left my original review so that you all can see the difference in communication. I am impressed with their response. )
It would be nice to either edit or delete things added to the list. I just downloaded this app today and so far it is cumbersome because as I add something I realize I forgot to add certain information like recurrence or when to expect but I cannot edit it or delete it. So far I just tap it complete then recreate it, which is not acceptable I think. You really should be able to edit and delete what you’ve added to any of the lists.

Hello and thank you for your feedback! The good news is that we are working on being able to edit the text of a task. In the meantime, updating the due date, recurrence, reassigning, and removing a task are already possible. Simply swipe left on the task and select from the given options. We'll make all of this more obvious in the coming updates. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know, and we'll keep you posted when the new version is ready! UPDATED RESPONSE: Thank you very much for updating your review! We are incredibly grateful that you would take the time to leave such constructive feedback, it helps us make Merge better for everyone. We look forward to hearing from you in the future as we continue to roll out improvements.

Working fine now, great support!

It is a very nice app, it is making our to-do list more fun and easy to track! The support was super quick and took care of issues reported on my previous review. Thank you!

I still believe they need to improve a few things, like choosing who to reassign, display on “both” only items assigned to both, and keep the other under each name, a quick solution could be add a “show all tasks” on both, so you can show or hide all and by default only show what is assigned to vote. I am also wondering why if I am a “member” not the owner, I cannot add payment amounts, just items.

Keep it up with the good work!

Hello there! Thank you for your feedback! v 0.6.2 now includes this feature. UPDATED RESPONSE: Hi, your additional feedback is very well received! We have updated the "Both" category to show only tasks explicitly assigned to both you and your partner. This will be available in v 0.6.3. We would love for you to clarify your concern about being a "member" and not the owner, please kindly email us at hello@merge.fyi and we will address this as quickly as possible. Thank you for taking the time to write such detailed feedback!

Great concept, good app.

Great app so far. It would be nice to be able to edit the text after creating a task. I only see options to change the dates or reassign. It also crashes often but not a big deal. Love it otherwise!
