My opinion
I tested it on 2 phones, connected them to different internet networks and they didn’t sync, maybe it needs time, but I don’t know. If the phones are on the same network, they sync without delay.

Effortlessly manage shared household lists like groceries, to-dos, and chores. Sync changes directly between devices without needing an account or relying on external servers. Assign tasks to household members to create a shared chore board.

## What's Changed ### Bug Fixes - **Repeating reminders now repeat.** If you set a reminder on an item that repeats every day, week or month, it used to go off only once. After that the item said "That time has already passed" and stayed quiet. Now the reminder goes off every time the item comes back, at the same time you picked. Reminders you already set start working again on their own, so there is nothing to redo. - **Checking off a chore early skips that day's reminder, and only that one.** Finish tonight's chore before its reminder and tonight stays quiet. Tomorrow's reminder still goes off as usual. - **Reminders keep coming even if you don't open the app.** PearList now sets up about a week of reminders in advance, so a daily reminder doesn't stop because the app stayed closed for a few days. - **The app no longer closes right after you open it on iOS 27.**
