The best chore app, but…
I read an article online about how this was one of the best tour apps, so it was the first one I downloaded. I started filling it with tasks and assigning points and adding rewards. It was everything I wanted it to do. The scheduling was great with the ability to reschedule after a certain amount of days rather than a set schedule. My daughter loves it too, and has been looking for chores to do to gain points. The problem is sometimes it can’t make a connection with the server and it says no Internet connection. This happens even on a computer using the Web app and being connected with a cable – – that is not using Wi-Fi. This makes it very frustrating and they have not had an update in two years. Then proceeded to download lots of other chore apps, but none of them did all of the things that this app does. A lot of them are fancier, and have some great features, but they just don’t do what this one does. For now, I will continue using it because nothing else meets my requirements. I’m hoping they come out with an update soon, but seeing as how this is completely free, and does not have any ads, they are probably not making any money off of it and therefore we won’t see any more updates. IMO
EDIT: Is it dead? I’m logged out and can’t login via app or website. Such a tease. I struggled to use it with its poor connectivity, but I stayed with it because it was so good.

So far I’m liking it
Just got this today to help myself and my husband not get upset when one reminds the other of something. The only thing I’m having an issue with is the repeat scheduling feature. To get a weekly task scheduled I have to select daily or monthly first and save. Then go back into the repeat menu and then select weekly. This is the only way I can seem to get the weekly schedule options to appear. I can not toggle correctly thru the three repeat scheduling options without closing the menu and going back in to an option I didn’t not previously have selected. It’s a smidge hard to explain.
I do have a feature idea that I think would be good. Have a way to tie a specific task to a specific reward. For example I want to work on writing in my journal more but I know I’m slowly running out of room. My reward for writing in my journal x number of times/minutes could be buying a new pretty journal.
I look forward to using this app and it’s reward system even more when we have children.

Great app to motivate the whole family!
I really like using this app. It helps my performance around the house because I can create the tasks for throughout the week and it feels great to check off the items as completed. The kids stay motivated because they don’t want the other one to have more points. Nothing like a little competitiveness to get them to happily complete their chores. Oh, and if they forget a chore the nudge option is a nice way to let them know without feeling like s nag. I also like the grocery list, it’s helpful to have the whole family have access and add things as they think of it. The only thing that I don’t like is how encouraging good behavior and disciplining bad (and the option responsibility, but mostly behavior) shows up as a task. For whatever reason I don’t understand how to use that on a case by case basis as the kids do or don’t follow those expectations. For now I’ll just add or subtract the points manually and create a note but if I can find a way to use the other options I’d like that for ease of use. Everything else feels very user friendly. The best house management app I’ve used.

I really love this app
I’ve been looking for something to keep us all organized and up to date on all the day to day things as my husband and I work opposite schedules so there’s very little in the middle time for organizing our life. I searched through a lot of different apps that weren’t really what I was looking for. I’m a list person so this really appealed to me and I tried it. It’s been a fantastic tool for our day to day. I love the points system, I love the nudge option, I love the shared grocery list. I’m really just getting a lot out of this app.
I would say my only issues with it are that it can be quite slow at times which can be frustrating in the busy day to day when I just need to pull something up really quick.
I would also love to see a calendar that isn’t related to the to-do list. I don’t necessarily want to add birthdays and such to my task list.
If you felt like really exceeding the mark, a budget tool would be wonderful!
But I do highly recommend this app, far above others. It’s super simple, easy to delegate when I need extra help and helps bring some organization to the chaos of our life.

Has promise but poor functionality
My wife signed us up for the our home app and it looks wonderful and like it would really help us stay on top of things. I got links sent to my phone and email to login and complete my profile but when I click both links on multiple different devices it comes up to a blank page. We had to uninstall, reinstall and recreate the entire household of tasks and profiles. I was never able to actually login to the app with my email or contact information so had to create a totally different profile and am not even able to use my own email. Then when in the app itself there are a lot of connectivity issues when saving tasks or saving in general. It seems to disconnect from the internet a lot which is not an issue we have with any other apps. All in all I think it’s a step up from our excel sheet but will know more after we actually get to use it. Stay tuned for review part two. So far, the UX has been lackluster
