Home Routines for Negative User Reviews

✓ Like the format. Needs more content.Very easy to use, set tasks etc. However, I would like to see fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and yearly task options as these are the tasks that I really need to be reminded of and plan for. There have been updates coming for a while so hopefully they will push the app up to 5 stars with more content. Please listen to your users!! With more content I would say the asking price would be fair, as it is I'm not too sure. Overall, I use it daily, it's good and has the potential to be great..House of 6!Version: 1.8.3

✓ Good, but would love to see a few changesI have found since using this application that I procrastinate less and am more motivated to achieve my daily household chores. However, I would like to recommend the following additions: - The ability to prioritise the routines and to do today lists. - The ability to export achievements so that you can see a picture of all your achievements over the week/month. - Clear stars at the end of the day. - Ability to add more customised zones i.e I would love one for gardening and the home office. Could someone also explain to me what sorts of things they input into/how they use the daily messages?.Monique AnneVersion: 0

✓ Waste of moneyAbsolutely waste of money. It’s so basic it can hardly have any use. The idea of zones sounds good but it only act as a reminders, nothing special. Like another reviewer said, doesn’t even display a calendar. I wish I would have taken his advice as saved myself £5!.DN20000Version: 3.3.4

✓ Needs history featurePros: simple to use, easy to customise what your individual routines are. Makes you feel great when you tick items off your list. Cons: there is no history feature, so I cannot see what I accomplished yesterday, or for the week or month. I can't see what jobs I didn't get around to doing, or look up when I last did a particular task. Would be 5 stars with this feature.....SjcjmVersion: 2.5.1

✓ An upgrade that makes it slower?!I have been using this app for years and love it. Unfortunately someone has decided that the newest upgrade MUST include a start-up screen which forces the user to stare at the designer's logo prior to app launch. It's not a huge deal, but it seems a rather unnecessary add, considering many users are used to launching the app and having it there ready to use immediately. Thanks, I appreciate your hard work making the app, but this little addition is really unnecessary and frankly becoming annoying..DiamondbollocksVersion: 3.2.0

✓ Only one thing i'd change...I love this app I used it for about three weeks until it fizzled out. And the main reason it fizzled out for me is that it's a bit perpetual and you can only see what you've achieved that particular day. So I don't feel any guilt when I've not done something I was meant to as it refreshes and gives you a clean slate. Similarly if you've had a good day and done everything it refreshes again and you don't feel any achievement. What I think this app would benefit from is a history log where you can see what you have and haven't done so you see good and bad days and weeks. Then I would defo give this 5 stars!!.GemmissyVersion: 1.8.2

✓ Horrible PurchaseI have contacted support for this app via website and email for the entire week and nobody has responded. In reading through the reviews someone else complained about the same thing along with the lack of historical log of activities. I can't change my password and log in online. This app is the most expensive I have ever purchased and I've had more problems and irritation than ever. Save your money. Paper is better! Gmail is better! Also the developer has no way of being contacted, even on LinkedIn. Apparently they haven't updated the app since 2015. If Apple doesn't refund I'll be very wary of ever purchasing through the App Store again. Don't waste your time and spend your money on this..DarthInsidiousVersion: 3.2.2

✓ Promising appSeems good for recurring tasks. Would be great with these features: - Display latest completion date of a task after the star is reset, so that I don't have to remember if I just did a monthly task recently and therefore shouldn't repeat it until later in the new month. - Automatically move completed tasks at the bottom of the list - More user-friendly to-do list - less taps to add, move and delete tasks..Jan_AuVersion: 2.5.2

✓ ConfusingI like to think I am reasonably intelligent but I find this app totally unwieldy and confusing. I gave up on it after wasting all the time I should have spent on my routines trying to fathom out its incredibly user unfriendly operation..Uselessly uselessVersion: 3.2.2

✓ Not worth it ... Developers delet bad reviews and write the only good onesI've had this app for a while now they have not updated it or made improvements whatsoever its very basic not worth the money whatsoever ..the 15min timer is ok i like the triumphant music when the 15 min is up. I suggest adding triumphant sound effects and some more positive reinforcement at the end of compleating every task, i don't find filling in a star or emailing people very rewarding or motivating. i think if it was free it would be worth the price but its no where near being worth $6 don't waste your money. I think most the good reviews must be by the developers and developers friends. My past reviews have been deleted It's not good at all.SPR199ANVersion: 0

✓ Not worth itNot worth $4.99 in my opinion. You can make a list and check it off on paper and it would do the same as this app..Mama1973Version: 0

✓ FreezesJust bought this app and it keeps freezing when trying to change settings for time of the morning routine begin time. Perhaps it is bc of the ios 8 platform.KbmcleodVersion: 3.0.2

✓ No Historical Completion DatesAt first I was very excited about this app, it looked like a great way to manage my household cleaning. But I quickly realized there is no historical tracking of when you completed a task, and that is apparently on purpose. If I cleaned every area of my house already once a month, I wouldn't need an app to help me. I wanted something that would tell me how many weeks it had been since I finished a task so I could evaluate the priority of doing it again, and this app just doesn't do that. Also, I contacted the company two times after purchasing the app to ask them how to track historical calendar information, and never got a response. The only way I discovered the app was designed to NOT track historical completion dates was by searching their FAQ. Other apps that I have paid for have always responded to customer questions in a matter of a few days, so I am very disappointed I never got any sort of response. I wish I could get my money back!!.Joeyjo7162014Version: 3.2.2

✓ Not user friendlyDo not like this app!! Doesn't even deserve 1 star.AmymedcalfVersion: 3.0.0

✓ Messy app. Everything is in different placesI just want an app where I open it up and today’s tasks are all there in a list to be checked off. In this app, everything is in different places, I don’t want it hidden behind morning jobs and evening jobs. It’s also really confusing to use - how do I add a biweekly task on top of daily tasks? The help page on the website is complicated and I cannot understand how to use the app at all. Really annoyed that I spent money on it. Don’t bother buying it..Loob5Version: 3.5.3

✓ DISAPPOINTING - not worth £4.99How annoying to wait for the Wunderbear bear logo to disappear before one can use the app -this is not a free version but a £4.99 one. No calendar showing at a glance scheduled work is a major flow and drawback. Today is Saturday, but my routines set-up on Friday morning did not appear on today’s tasks. Much more work on this app is required to ask the price of £4.99. Also, these shortcomings are not visible on app’s advertisement..AbdankVersion: 3.3.4
