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. ### 4/5 — So far I’m liking it *2023-05-30* 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. ### 4/5 — I really love this app *2022-10-21, version 3.14.4* 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. ### 4/5 — Great app, but wish there was more sharing *2020-07-26, version 3.14.1* Literally everything I want in app. My wife and I had a hard time getting motivated to do chores (and had a hard time tracking who did what), but this app took care of that. The only thing I wish we could do was split the points on a chore rather than separate into the same chore twice (like if we both helped make the bed, split the 20 points into 10 for each of us instead of making it into two duplicate chores of 20 points for each of us. Plus I’d also like if we could pool points for a dingle reward. Like let’s buy a family movie, but each of us has to put up half the cost to redeem it. It’d be less like one of us has to give up our personal rewards for a communal reward. ### 4/5 — Grocery’s *2020-04-07, version 3.14.0* As a kid the chore aspect works great! But the grocery list is the most useless part yet, the navigation is pretty clunky. It also took me forever to figure out how to add a custom item and the whole suggestions and categories thing or whatever just kinda added to the confusion. When I said useless though it was more of an overstatement and once you figure things out it ain’t half bad. Really the worst problem is the fact that I can check off my brother’s chores and vice versa it also seems to be weird that I can assign my parents chores, the app just kinda gives kids more control than needed which just adds to the confusion. As a kid I really do recommend the app, but it definitely has it problems. ### 4/5 — ALMOST PERFECT!!! *2020-03-15, version 3.14.0* My family and I use this app every day! The chore tracker is great for our family dynamic. We’re all on different schedules and it helps to have one place to go for household information. The points system is an awesome motivator and it encourages us to stay on track. We use the grocery list often and everyone can add to it to make sure no one is left out. The only improvement I’d love to see is in the calendar portion. There isn’t a week view or a way to easily move from one day to the next (a swipe function would be nice). It’s the only part of the app that I feel like I need something supplemental to keep track. If this were tweaked a little it would be the perfect app for my family! Maybe in the near future??? ### 4/5 — Great for my partner and me *2020-02-23, version 3.14.0* My partner and I are just moving in together, and we’re the kind of couple who love to give each other positive feedback and encouragement! So this is a great way for us to do so while tracking daily tasks and shared responsibilities. I also really love how customizable the different features are, for example, I changed the grocery categories to reflect the different stores I shop at, rather than product categories. My one request is that once I complete a task, it be permanently crossed off in the task list for that day. That just seems logical so you can more easily see which you have done and how many you have left to do. Unsure if this is a bug or just an opportunity for improvement of user interface but I’d like to see that implemented! Thanks for a cool app, I look forward to using it! ### 5/5 — Everything I was looking for *2019-11-13, version 3.14.0* I tried out multiple apps trying to find something to keep track of cleaning schedules and daily habits. This was the nicest looking, easiest to customize, and it’s free. I love that I can customize how often something needs to be done and the due date can be based off of when it was last done. It’s easy to put something off if I just don’t have time for it at the moment. Being able to reschedule all overdue tasks at once is very convenient. I don’t use the points or rewards system or the grocery list, but I might in the future if I see a need for it. There is so much to this app, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming to use. The one thing I haven’t figured out how to do is create one task that multiple people need to check off, for example ‘make your bed’. To get around that I created a new task for every bed. It would be nice to have one ‘make your bed’ task that showed who else still needed to get it done. ### 5/5 — Perfect solution for us *2019-10-17, version 3.14.0* After trying several other chore list/task assignment/allowance tracking type of apps, this one finally has the perfect combo of features we needed. This includes easy to assign tasks (for one person or several) with clear “points” associated with them (which are equivalent to dollars in our case). You can add specifics to the tasks or not. You can get fancy with them and add recurrences, etc or not. And when someone finishes something they just click that it’s done, it goes away and the points get added to their “bank.” Again, you can get fancy with that part and add required approvals, etc or not. You can track who did what and completed it at what time or you can not give a crap about those details. And then we pay them for their hard work, we simply zero out their “bank.” It’s uncluttered, easy to set up and easy to explain to 3 other family members how to use. I was seriously shocked that all of those other apps just couldn’t accomplish this very straight forward tracking system. Best part ——-> It’s FREE. **Developer response:** Thanks MomKVG, that's great to hear :) ### 5/5 — I can think again! *2019-10-02, version 3.14.0* As a mom to a toddler and a three month old, this app is amazing at helping me keep track of what needs done each day/week/month. So much of my brain was being used to try to remember tasks, now they’re all scheduled and pop up anew each day. I created a “kid” category for bath, making lunches, cleaning toys, etc. I created one to keep track of monthly or bi-annual bills. It’s great. Now my husband can see not only what all I’ve accomplished, but also what tasks are undone with which he can help. The only thing I wish the app offered was the ability to turn on a way of subtracting points at midnight for tasks you didn’t finish or reschedule. I know with kids, positive reinforcement is better, but as an adult, points being taken away would be a major motivator for me! ### 4/5 — Excellent Start *2019-09-12, version 3.14.0* I have 5 children and maintaining our home and a chore rotation schedule was impossible on paper. We tried several different methods, but they were too cumbersome to update as children grew and were able to take on new chores. This app lets us add and remove assignments based on what the kids are capable of and keep their tasks rotating to avoid boredom. I also love that it give the children the independence to do their chores when they have time so everything gets done, but we aren’t being overwhelmed by the chores. My only feedback would be to add more icons for the categories, and allow tasks to be prioritized. My younger kids work better with a specific routine, so being able to order the tasks in a specific order would be great. Overall, I love this. I’ve spent quite a bit of time setting it up to cover all our tasks. Even better...my kids have taken an active interest in the app and doing their chores. They love being able to see their points add up. Anything that makes kids eager to help with the housework is a home run in my opinion. **Developer response:** Thanks for that feedback, BZMallory, that's good to know. In terms of ordering tasks, you can actually already do this by scrolling to the right of the filters and tapping on the Sort button and then selecting Manual. This will allow you to move tasks around within the To-do list but tapping on holding on them. ### 5/5 — Personal & Professional opinion *2019-08-25, version 3.14.0* Personal- started using this at my house to test out. It creates an easy way to track tasks for everyone in the house, but also so much more! I love it. My kids are keeping up with it on their devices and have a friendly competition over who has most points and what they want to save up for. Professional- as a family therapist I am always recommend behavior charts and responsibility tracking for kids and parents. Our home makes it easy to do both and it’s not too overwhelming for parents to track. It does take some time to set up and personalize for your family, but the benefits start immediately. Excellent app and I recommend it to friends and clients! Mike Brannan, LMHC ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-18, version 3.14.0* I rarely review apps, but this one deserves it. Trying to run a 7 person household is rough, but this app helps! I love this customizations available. I can assign chores on a rotating basis throughout family members, or set them to be always available, and everything in between. I love that you can have multiple admins, so you can share the responsibility of approving tasks and assigning them. At first I thought the grocery list was a little silly that I couldn’t remove it, but I’ve grown to love that I can plug something in the list, and my other half can see it and grab it on his way home from work. It took quite awhile to get everything set up how I wanted it, but it was worth it, and now that’s it’s all set up and the kids can see their chores from their tablets it’s smooth sailing. I also love the messaging feature, for family wide conversations, and that you can comment on individual tasks to incentivize even further than just the points/rewards system. I cannot stress how many apps I’ve tried and ultimately ended up deleting because they didn’t do everything I needed. This app is insanely inclusive, and I plan to use it forever. **Developer response:** Thanks SDDizzle, that's awesome to hear :) ### 5/5 — Great so far!! *2019-03-21, version 3.13.2* I’ve downloaded this app to keep track of chores and behavior. With a family of 7 it can get hectic at times. This app has allowed me to customize tasks for point values and also customize wrong behavior for subtracting points. We’ve set rewards for certain level of points and allow the points to roll over so they can collect those hard to reach rewards over a longer period of time. I’ve been spending the past week or so customizing it and making sure I have the permissions set just right before rolling it out to all of the devices. We don’t want big sister deducting points from little brother just because they can! I haven’t tested it in a “go live” environment just yet but wouldn’t expect any issues from what I’ve seen. I used an old device to test the child’s perspective which helped greatly to ensure they can’t remove each other’s points or mark them for a bad behavior. I love how flexible everything is and it is completely customizable. 5 children rotating chores and the app tracks that just fine when you figure out how to set it all up. The only downfall is learning how to get everything just right. It shouldn’t be to hard for a tech savvy person but not all of us are. It would help to have some tutorials or “how to’s” otherwise I could see many people getting frustrated and deleting it. **Developer response:** Hi Bomber, thanks for the great feedback and I hope the app proves effective in the 'live environment' :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was awesome until I woke up and it no longer works *2022-04-20, version 3.14.4* We used this app for years. It was perfect for motivating the whole family to do their to do list with points and what not. And kept us organized. Woke up this morning after using this as my sole organizational tool with things scheduled months in advance that I never had written on paper all gone! Clearly they stopped updating it. I checked on all of my family members apps. Our Wi-Fi and our 5G is working perfectly and the app will not open. If you click their app support it brings you to a page that doesn’t load. If you check out their social media and what not their last posts were years ago. And they have not updated the app on here in a year. I wish they would have notified people before they discontinued this because now I’m trying to re-create my schedule/tasks for the next 4 months for my whole family. Going back to pen and paper going forward because obviously these apps are not reliable! Disappointing! ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2019-03-03, version 3.13.2* I’ve invested enough time into setting everything up chores and schedule wise for my three boys that I’m to the point I “have” to use it even though it frustrates the hell out of me. When I try marking off a completed chore for one boy, it marks it off for all of them. Then when I try and go back to try and make it right I somehow delete the points for everybody. I’ve had to reinput all of the chores 3 times now because everyone’s points have gotten so messed up that I can’t possibly keep track of who did what. Of course while I’m trying to fix everyone’s points, everything I do alerts everyone in the family so all of their devices are pinging non stop. Everyone else seems to love this app but if you’re just a regular dad like me who doesn’t spend his day with his face buried in his phone and may not automatically know how to fill in the gaps of this app this definitely isn’t the one for you. I’m not a stupid person but I’ve had nothing but frustration with this thing. ### 2/5 — Has promise but poor functionality *2022-10-07, version 3.14.4* 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 ### 2/5 — Love it but needs some work *2019-05-14, version 3.13.2* We love using this app and use it daily. I like the simplicity of its design once you figure it out. You do have to tweak it to have it do what you want My complaint with it is with the way everything shows up. You have to toggle back and forth several times to make sure all the chores have actually shown up. The other huge problem is with the sort order. I have tried to use a manual sort and arrange the chores in the order I want them done but they only stay in order for a day. By the next day they are all out of order again. I emailed support and they just said another family member must have messed with it. My husband is the other person on the account and he has not changed anything. The other thing I tried is to set reminders for the chores but the reminders randomly disappear as well. I have emailed support several times about this and uninstalled the app, signed in and out like they told me and the problem still persists. We really like the app otherwise and it is an app we would be willing to pay for (which is saying a lot as I typically don’t buy a lot of apps) But with these bugs it makes it almost unusable for us. We would love to see these issues fixed but meanwhile we will be looking at other options. **Developer response:** Thanks Ive, we're glad you like it :) ### 3/5 — Hoping for some improvements *2020-09-28, version 3.14.1* My family of 5 enjoys using the app but there are a couple of things I find frustrating. Unfortunately, this one is a biggie and I may have to change apps to resolve the issue. We’ve found that when claiming a reward, you can undo it. Which is fine if it was a mistake or you change your mind, however, in the main feed it shows that it was claimed twice instead of one claim and then an undo. So for instance, my kids can claim Xbox time as a reward, but if they claim it, then undo it, it shows it claimed twice but their points haven’t changed and I have no way of knowing. The other issue is really more of a preference but it looks like others would benefit also... it would be nice to have a “behavior” tab at the bottom between rewards and groceries. This way I could have a quick way to add or takeaway points for behavior, such as being kind, helpful, talking back, being unkind, or whatever. Otherwise I would rate 5 stars as it’s easy to use once you customize it. ### 3/5 — Almost great, but I’m sticking with it *2020-01-24, version 3.14.0* There’s a bit of a learning curve with the features of this app, but it’s helpful, and my kids are very motivated to do chores and school work for points. The one (major) quirk that I haven’t overcome is that when I tap to complete a task that appears on each kids list (i.e. music practice), the drop down list pops up for me to click which kid to reward even if I’m checking off on a specific child’s list, and then it checks off ALL of the kids as having completed the task. If I hit the undo button, then it takes it off of everyone’s charts... so that part is really broken. Also it doesn’t seem to update completely on tasks? It will put chores in the completed section even if they are set to repeat daily. In a few words, really buggy but still helpful. I’m not sure if I’d recommend to a friend, but I would if these quirks improved. ### 3/5 — Great app, but buggy *2019-12-23, version 3.14.0* We have been using this app for about a month and I love it, mostly. The interface is clean and easy to use. We love being able to add and take away points as well as leave instructions for chores and feedback. All awesome....but.....it’s a bit buggy and that’s why I cannot rage this app 5 stars. We’ve had issues with chore rotation throwing off the entire schedule if a child misses their chore day. If one of our kids doesn’t do their chores the app doesn’t continue the rotation, it just keeps it on that child and bumps chores assigned to others, which throws everything off and we have to reset the entire thing. The rotation should continue regardless. Also, every time we add or deduct points we get an error message telling us “Sorry, we can’t do that...” but the deduction or addition works so I don’t understand why the error pop up happens. Also, the server completely shuts down without warning. We’ve all been logged out randomly, then not allowed to log back in. We’ve had to reset our family twice now in one month. It’s becoming quite a hassle, which is disappointing because we would like an app that works on a consistent basis. I’ve tried to submit help tickets for this issue, but the website times out time and time again for support or it’s a blue screen. Not helpful. ### 3/5 — I like the app but had to stop using it *2019-01-21, version 3.13.2* This app has most of the functions I need, and I used it for quite some time, but I started having issues. I got to the point that I could no longer deduct for allowance deductions without restarting my phone. I contacted support a few months back and was assured that the problem would be fixed in the next update. It was for a while but it has been cropping up again. Quite frankly I’m sick of having to restart my phone to use the app every other time. If they could fix it I’d continue using this app. Right now I’m looking for another app that could do the same thing. I’m having some trouble finding one that can do reoccurring chores, corrections, payouts, and keep track of multiple kids like this one can. I was even willing to pay for this app if I had the option and it worked properly, but for now I’m looking elsewhere. ### 3/5 — Busy app *2018-08-09, version 3.13.2* I am updating my original review from when I had issues adding a family password. It took me several days to figure that out. There is A LOT to learn in this app. It’s very busy and overly complicated. I found several things that could be simplified. Such as splitting a task, this makes it a competition for kids to see who can complete a task first, then the task is completed and no longer available for the other child to do. This took some learning. So, if you have the same task for both kids you have to create two of the same task for both kids making your task screen overly busy when it doesn’t need to be. It could be simplified by adding a check box for “first finished” and leaving the “task split” for both kids to complete as a shared task meaning the chore is to be completed by both kids as an individual task. That eliminates multiple task of the same job on the screen and if you want it to be a competition, just check the box-or not. We’ve stopped using the app for now as it became too time consuming. I may revisit it in the future and give it another go but I don’t have time to be policing an app on top of my kids. Things need to be simplified for busy lives. **Developer response:** Hi Jennifer, I'm really sorry to hear of the issues you've experienced and I can imagine the frustrations they must have caused. If you wouldn't mind emailing us at support@ourhomeapp.com with your account details we'll look into it straight away and hopefully have a fix within a day. My apologies for the issue once again. ### 3/5 — Good *2018-08-07, version 3.13.2* I’m still trying to figure it all out. The app is pretty good. I will definitely continue to use it. Pros: My kids like that they can earn points towards rewards and they enjoy being able to check them off themselves. The overall design is nice. I like that I can load pictures in for my younger child because he can’t read yet. I haven’t looked at the shopping/grocery part yet but the idea is nice. My husband can add to it and the kids too. I’ll update my review then. Cons: It doesn’t work well on my iPhone6s. When I go to another app or close my phone and go back to the app, it freezes up; I have to close the app out and re-open. It’s annoying. However, It does work well on our Galaxy tablets. I wish I could separate the routine tasks from the rest of the tasks because I feel those should be listed in order for the day. I can manually order everything but it doesn’t seem to keep and my kids can move them if they like. It isn’t optimal for me. You can organize through the categories but within that you can’t order it. Overall I like the app and will continue to use it. It’s a solid functioning app. If the bug for the iPhone 6s is fixed I’d give it a four star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app to motivate the whole family! *2023-02-12, version 3.14.4* 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. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-11-06, version 3.14.4* It has the basic functions I need. Great app! It's clean and easy to use. The only problem I have is when you go to the Rewards tab, go to any tab, then come back again to the Rewards tab, the progress bar appears to be just loading. It gets fixed when I restart the app. I can live with it but it's good when that can be fix without restarting. For future versions, I suggest to have the tasks due based on specific time rather than based on dates only, then add sorting of tasks based on date/time. Overall, I'm happy with it and plan to continue on using it. Thanks for making this great app! ### 5/5 — A lifesaver for having to move back in with parents! *2020-09-11, version 3.14.1* My brother & I (both in our mid 20’s) have had to move back in with our parents in light of the pandemic, and your app has been so helpful in creating positive structure around sharing household opportunities. This is the first time all four of us have lived here in many years and we were all feeling a little nervous about how it might go. This app has made it much easier for us to live together harmoniously in this time. The scheduling and reminders especially have helped to foster a better relationship of trust and relaxation because tasks without having to pester each other. I do have some ideas! It would be extremely helpful to have a tab where you could have shared documents. That way we could keep separate list for things like “If you happen to be at the hardware store” or be able to reference things like shared living agreements. Also the ability to have multiple message threads, that way you could have different threads for different subjects or including only certain members of the family. Thank you again for all you do, your hard work has helped to make life better for our family in this difficult time. Hope to hear from you soon! Drew C. ### 5/5 — A necessity to EVERY family!! *2020-06-26, version 3.14.0* We used this app a few years ago and it was quickly a hit. After life changes and more kids in our chaotic home we decided to come back to it and I love all the updates I’ve noticed including adding and removing points. Our children love it and it does turn into a friendly completion/passive aggressive way to address behaviors without having to nag. Total WIN/WIN! There are eight total we have participating in our app. My husband and myself and six children ranging from 11 to 17 and everyone can’t wait to help out. I truly have to ask for virtually nothing to get done. They are racing each other to cook dinner, do the dishes, exercise, helping each other, giving compliments, and even not use all of their allotted screen time to get points. Taking on each other’s tasks and I have two suggestions that I wish was different then and now and that would be to have “behavior” in its own tab. We have things like “talking back” “lying” and “helping others” on “always available” but we have to move past the home tasks to see them and I do t know if I’d consider behavior a task. Also, it would be pretty awesome when I’m approving or after they have completed the tasks I can modify the points they earned for it. :) Just a couple thought. ### 5/5 — A fun app! Very useful! *2020-05-30, version 3.14.0* Honestly, while this app seems to be made for kids, I use it for just myself. I love the system of doing things you don't feel like doing and trading them for rewards. It's made me more productive around the house and not forget what there is to do. I also use it to track if I've taken my vitamins each day (but it would be great for a prescription medicine). I wish that there was a lock button that makes certain tasks unable to be rescheduled. It would be nice to be able to press "reschedule all" and it would exclude certain locked tasks. I have one task called, "get to work early" with a fairly high amount of points set to it, but each day I don't do it, it decreases the points I would receive upon completion as a penalty. I never want to reschedule tasks with penalties, but currently the "reschedule all" button does reschedule tasks with penalties. As one other suggestion, I would love if the behavior tasks weren't intermingled with the others. It would be nice if they were completely separate. Aside from this, I've told all my friends about how much I love this app, telling them they have to try it out. I like the positive reinforcement behind the reward system. It's excellent for encouraging me to workout. I love the free reign I have in setting tasks and rewards. I wish there was more in terms of personalization (backgrounds, profile characters, etc.), but what they have is cute. This app is one of the best to-do list apps I've ever seen. ### 5/5 — Family of 7 approved!!! *2020-04-09, version 3.14.0* As the dad of a conjoined family consisting of my wife, our 3 kids, and a live-in MIL and nephew....this is the app I’ve tried to find for a long time. I’ve used multiple other apps, but this one has everything I’ve wanted. Easy to use color-coding interface, assignment and creation of chores, points tracking, and notification system of when chores are complete. The groceries tab adds even more usefulness, and makes it easy for the whole family to submit ideas, while it also makes it easier for me to check things off (and verify which item belongs to whoever submitted the idea!). LOVE the app. My highest recommendation!!! ### 5/5 — The kids love it! *2020-02-28, version 3.14.0* This app is FANTASTIC! 2nd day in and the kids are obsessed. They already love games where they can score points and save up for rewards. So this was an easy sell! My kids are currently 9, 7, and 5. This will be great to keep using as they get older and more responsible. Everything works very well and it’s easy to understand. If you don’t understand a feature, their “help” section is very easy to read. If I had a suggestion for the developers, it would be to offer different types of point systems. For instance I would love for the kids to be able to earn stars for certain tasks and points for others. Then they can redeem two different kind of rewards. The points I’m currently using to redeem for an allowance, but stars would be for the tasks they could redeem for a trip to get ice cream. But, again, I love this app! Thank you for offering it for free!!! ### 5/5 — OurHome *2020-02-23, version 3.14.0* I’ve used this on and off over the years, but after having my son, my husband and I found we needed something to help us keep up on chores around the house so one of us wasn’t doing more than the other. My husband and I both work home home full time so it can get messy very quickly and while one would think working from home means you have more time to get things clean, it also means if you get behind you are left to stew in the mess you’ve created. So far we only use OurHome for the cleaning tasks we need to get done, but it’s great for me to be able to see what I need to get done in my day and it works for him because he can see what we all do and it gives him peace of mind that he is not the only one cleaning. No bugs so far and the app works great! ### 5/5 — Habit-Points Bank *2020-01-20, version 3.14.0* This is the best points tracker/bank I have tried. I don’t use it in the family capacity but to keep track of earning and spending points for my habit-points system.(I assign my recurring habits points based on difficulty and importance and cash in the points for guilty pleasures or splurges. This helps motivate me to complete the habits and also places a higher value on pleasures and splurges to ensure I don’t overindulge.) One of my frustrations with comparable apps was that many of them lock into using it strictly as a family/chore tracker, so task details such as due date as well as building out a “family” are all required to use the app, which is fine for the designated purpose but obviously that doesn’t suit my use-case. This app allows those customizations without requiring them. It also easily functions as a true points “bank,” allowing you to add task completion and points redemption as transactions. Over all, love the app. Frankly I need all the help I can get in staying motivated and this app has been a godsend in that regard. ### 5/5 — Exactly What I Need and More! *2019-12-31, version 3.14.0* I wanted an app that allowed me to write all the things I want done for the home and to assign them to other people in the house. Check. I looked through a couple "family management" apps and downloaded another one first, but it didn't allow me to make a genetic task list; everything had to have a deadline and a time block - it was more of a calendar than a task manager. This app won out for it's ability to quick list and to make more detailed assignments like exactly when it needs to be done or how many times it needs to be done in a time frame. The points were fun in theory, but we had to get a handle on what take would go on there and come up with a firmer understanding of point values. It takes some time and intention to set down and set it up to get the most out of it, but if you want to just put all the"to-do" lists on a place where everyone in the family can see them, this is good for that too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
