### 4/5 — Useful home management app

*2026-04-13, version 3.9.23*

Most everything I was looking for in keeping all the info about my home in one place. 

I do wish it had:
- dark mode
- a way to manage paint colors per room beyond just adding a note

### 3/5 — Does what it says

*2025-11-12*

Helps you take inventory of your home and round up your receipts and instruction manuals, etc. Beautiful, organized interface.  It does have a subscription based model and wants to use AI for almost everything related to maintenance.  

Looking at it, it isn’t for me. I would rather use excel spreadsheets and keep my instructions and receipts myself in the cloud in folders, so I don’t have to worry about doing all this work and then potentially losing the data due to business issues.

### 5/5 — Great app for organizing

*2024-11-28, version 3.6.0*

Having bought a new house I really appreciate having documented everything in the old house in Homer. It’s helping a lot to do handover to the new owner and at the same time organize renovation of the new house and keeping track of expenses. I love Homer 😁

### 5/5 — Best app for home inventory management.

*2024-11-27, version 3.6.0*

Love the new development. Very clever app

### 3/5 — App Crashes

*2024-11-25, version 3.5.1*

I wasn’t able to proper rank thia app, because as I create one “project” it crashes.

### 5/5 — Greats App!

*2024-11-22, version 3.5.1*

Great home organization at your finger tips!

### 5/5 — Best App for Homeowners who care

*2024-11-15*

Very intuitive and easy to use ; lots of great features. Must for the homeowners who care about their home. Best wishes to the Homer team.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for that lovely review! 🙏

### 5/5 — Best Home Improvement App

*2024-10-19*

This app keeps records of everything you need.  Imports manuals, keeps receipts for home repairs, a timeline, costs spent on home improvements.  Plus so many additional features.  Just get it.  It will make your life easy.

### 5/5 — Great app and the future of home management

*2024-08-20, version 3.4.6*

Homer is a multi-facted app that makes home ownership 10x easier. It is a customer centric app that I think all home owner would benefit from. Super easy to use and customize from home to home.

### 5/5 — Cool app and great support

*2024-07-28*

The app has a nice look to it and some great features. The ability to easily add a variety of media to your inventory items is so awesome, and it’ll even search the web for manuals after you add the make and model. Their customer support is excellent, you can message them in-app about bugs and feature requests (not sure if there’s a tech team or if it’s the developer) and they are helpful, respectful, and open to suggestions. They seem to be adding new features often and always trying to improve based on user feedback, which is awesome. I’m looking forward to using it more!

**Developer response:** 🎉 Many thanks for your kind words about Homer and the team! Your input and feedback is greatly appreciated. We are here for you, if there is anything you need!

### 5/5 — Homer makes Home again

*2024-06-08, version 3.3.5*

This is a great app; wish I had known about it sooner

### 5/5 — The best app for home control

*2024-04-13, version 3.3.1*

The best solution to control your home. Homer is like a Swiss army knife with many options to access in a single environment all the information you need to have under control: relevant data, documents, plans, invoices, notes, dates, inventory, tasks, folders... and with labels to be able to link everything with everything. If I would add something in future versions it would be the possibility of being able to personalize the start view to the user's taste with shortcuts to the content that interests them most (documents, photographs, notes, invoices...). And if later they dare to incorporate Spanish as a language, it would already be outstanding. Without a doubt it is the best app for home control… and I have tried many.

### 4/5 — Great potential

*2024-02-03*

App is great for keeping things organized. Really hope there is a dark mode added. The menus could also be a bit simpler. Seems like you have to go many levels down to see an item.

**Developer response:** ⭐️ Thanks for your nice review! We are always improving Homer, and your feedback helps us understand areas to focus on. Ping us in the app support chat and we can put you on the Beta testing program!

### 5/5 — Great for Home Organization

*2024-01-31, version 3.1.8*

This app is great for keeping track of home records, maintenance, and projects!

### 3/5 — Great Functionality, Bad Interface

*2024-01-27, version 3.1.8*

Homer seems to be the best of the Home Management apps, with great label scanning, timeline, linking, tasks, etc… So it’s frustrating how bad the interface is: a confusing mess of icons, notifications, modal dialogs, badges, and references to “folders” which mean nothing to a normal user.

I’m hopeful Homer will hire a good designer some time soon and take this app to the next level.

### 5/5 — A game-changer for me for home, inventory, and warranty management

*2023-12-10*

I 've been using the Homer app for quite some time now, and it has genuinely revolutionized the way I manage and organize my home. The standout feature for me is definitely the warranty tracking and receipt management. It's a breeze to keep track of various warranties and receipts for my home items, ensuring I never miss out on services or guarantees.

What sets Homer apart is its cutting-edge AI search assistant. This feature is incredibly user-friendly and efficient, quickly providing relevant links, support contacts, and manuals for a wide range of items. It's like having a personal assistant at your fingertips, dedicated to keeping up to date documentation on the items in your home.

While I haven't had much use for the AI help with items feature, I appreciate its inclusion, as it adds another layer of convenience for users who might find it beneficial.

The developers behind Homer deserve a special shoutout. They are continually evolving the app, adding new features that enhance user experience and functionality. Their commitment to improvement is evident, and it makes a significant difference in the app's overall performance.

I highly recommend Homer to anyone looking to streamline their home inventory and warranty tracking. It's user-friendly, feature-rich, and is a beautiful looking app. If you're on the fence about trying it, I urge you to take the plunge – you won't be disappointed!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your appreciation and kind words! It means a lot to us all in the team! Everyday, we try to make everything with Homer even better, in both big and small. We are releasing new features and updates continuously, and I can promise even more exciting stuff ahead.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Buena

*2024-11-01, version 3.4.18*

Sino fuera por suscripción sería una excelente aplicación. Espero saquen un plan de un solo pago.

### 1/5 — nicht zu gebrauchen

*2024-07-23, version 3.3.11*

die App ist nicht zu gebrauchen. Will man Bilder hinzufügen, stürzt sie ab. Will man Räume hinzufügen, stürzt sie ab. Will man Geräte hinzufügen, stürzt sie ab. Danach hab ich dann aufgegeben und das Vertrauen verloren, dieser App sensible Daten von mir zu geben.

### 1/5 — CANNOT REMOVE SUBSCRIPTION

*2024-05-10, version 3.3.2*

Would have been 5 ⭐️s  
HOWEVER SUBSCRIPTION IS ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE MY CARDS BEFORE DUE!!! AND CONVENIENTLY THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE I!!! CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD FROM APP STORE!!!!
RIDICULOUS

### 1/5 — Did not see how I could print out or email the info. placed into it.

*2024-01-14, version 3.1.6*

Unfortunately, I did not see how I could print out or email the info.to myself.

### 1/5 — Interesting but crashes immediately

*2023-08-05*

Cannot get past first screen.

**Developer response:** Hi there! So very sorry to hear you couldn't proceed - try downloading the app again. We are here to help you with human support, both in the app or via support email info@homer.co We are keen to help turn that 1 star into 5! ❤️‍🩹

### 1/5 — Compulsory login

*2023-07-07, version 2.9.0*

This app requires an account, with no option to keep data locally, or to backup and sync via iCloud. Just one more data grab to avoid

### 1/5 — Talk about glitchy!

*2021-05-08, version 1.1.20*

Couldn’t even get past the set up stage, tried five times, talk about glitchy.

### 1/5 — Needs portrait

*2020-12-08, version 1.1.18*

So many elements in this app just don’t work, are stretched off the screen or can’t be read. Like this app was designed for landscape mode only.

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account

*2020-06-12, version 1.1.9*

I would love to try this app but it won’t let me create an account. It says oops something went wrong try again later. I’ve been trying for 3 days.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2020-06-11, version 1.1.9*

Having read about this app on Macrumors I had high hopes of using it as it was what I was looking for. Barely 5 mins into using it, it froze completely on my iPhone XS Max. So, I forced it to quit and started again. I entered all the info about my freezer when it froze up again. After 5 mins it still wasn’t responding so I had to force it to quit again. On reloading, all the info I’d entered was gone. I’ve deleted it. I cannot recommend this app at all. Don’t waste your time like I did!

### 5/5 — A genuinely useful way to stay organized

*2026-07-21*

Homer has made managing my home so much easier. Having maintenance reminders, manuals, and important info in one place has been a game changer. The app is clean and easy to navigate, and the AI assistant has been surprisingly helpful when I have questions. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Wish I’d found this a long time ago

*2026-07-21*

I’ve tried a handful of home management apps over the years and ended up deleting each of them within a week. Homer has been different. When my water heater broke, I pulled up Homer. In about ten seconds I had the model number, manual, install date, and all the info my plumber needed to fix it.  Before Homer I would have had to dig through a file cabinet, where I probably would’ve never found the papers I needed. 
If you own a home, do yourself a favor and download this app before an emergency where you can’t find the info you need. 5 stars easy, no notes.

### 5/5 — New update for home management

*2026-05-06*

Homer has made managing my household so much smoother. I love how everything from chores to bills is organized in one clean, easy-to-use space. The reminders are gentle but effective, and I no longer feel like I’m constantly forgetting small maintenance tasks. The design feels thoughtful and calming, not overwhelming. It’s become my go-to for staying on top of home responsibilities without the stress. For anyone who wants order and peace of mind at home, Homer truly delivers.

**Developer response:** ❤️ Thank you so much for this amazing review! It truly means a lot to the whole team. We love hearing that Homer helps bring more structure, calm, and peace of mind into everyday home life. That is exactly what we are striving for. We are working hard every day to make Homer even smarter, smoother, and more helpful for homeowners everywhere. Thanks again for your support and for being part of the Homer journey! 🙏

### 5/5 — Excellent app, impressive improvements

*2025-12-14*

This is a thoughtfully designed app that actually makes it easier to manage my home.. I am not great about maintaining my home inventory and documents so I have used homer, forgotten about it for a while and just started using again and wow... It keeps getting better, ai has been implemented in a way that is actually useful and it has made it painless to add new items and manage my home.. Thank you to the team that is actually putting the continual effort into making a high quality app and experience here!

**Developer response:** ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to the whole team working tirelessly to make Homer better. 

We are here to help you and all other homeowners out there!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-27*

This app is really the best.  It does everything from household maintenance tasks to keeping track of my items for credit card warranties and in the case of a break in or disaster for homeowners insurance.  The manual feature is also top notch.  It’s so much easier than digging through some drawers to find one.

**Developer response:** ❤️ Wow, thank you for your lovely review! The team loves your expression ”top notch” !

### 5/5 — Do you need to track your whole home? This can do it.

*2025-06-20*

I’ve been using Homer for a while now and it really is an incredible app. When loading items to your “home” with a click of your camera, it uses a combination of search engines and AI to identify that item and fill in all of the hard to find information; as they say automagically. I’m not new to the home inventory app field and this app can find product information in about 1 minute that some others have been (currently) trying to find for 2 weeks now.

I’ve used their customer support chat feature a couple times when I had questions. I’ve also used the AI bot and both are extremely helpful.

Try it, you’ll be happy you did.

**Developer response:** 🤩 Wow thanks a million for your great review! Very much appreciated! 🙏

### 5/5 — Innovative and Helpful

*2025-06-16*

Homer has helped me streamline my home's maintenance. From managing my to-do lists to its helpful AI chat feature, it has made a number of things easier for me. Normally I am all over the place as far as keeping track of things go, but Homer allows me to have everything all in once place. As a premium user, I would say that it is a great investment for any homeowner.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-05-16, version 3.7.7*

I absolutely love this app as it’s made owning my first home not only more informative and productive; but also a ton more fun.

### 5/5 — Awesome Tool

*2025-01-21*

I absolutely love being able to track our renovation projects, the ability to go back in history to see the tradesmen/women we worked with! The app has greatly evolved since I first started using it, keeps getting better!

**Developer response:** ❤️ Thank you so much for your kind words - the team is hard at work making Homer the best home management app!
