I paid the $10 and spent two hours getting everything set up on the app through my Android phone, only to discover it won't work on my kids' Chromebooks or through a browser. The app looks like it would work great for our family, but it needs to be compatible on more devices.
Great app which helps my husband having a clue of what needs to be done without me having to order him around, and helps us dividing tasks better. It also visualises how much you actually get done on a day where you thought you did 'nothing'. Minus one star for the lack of support, sent an email with questions 2 months ago and still no answer.
I will forever recommend this app to everyone I know. Not only is it amazing for couples and families looking to split chores evenly (or to first prove that chores are not split evenly, lol), it's also amazing for individuals that struggle with productivity. Buy the premium version! Now I can set tasks to be done every day, 3 days, 7 days, etc. It's incredibly helpful to keep a home schedule!
First week in and have been enjoying it so far. I wish it had a web feature so I can have it on a laptop or otherwise connected to a monitor. I'm a visual person and when my phone is in my pocket the chores list doesn't exist. But if it's on a monitor or TV I can't walk past it without seeing it. Also having a seperate scale of today's points would be better than only seeing the weeks progress. Seeing the week's total makes it harder to stay engaged on Friday when I have a bunch of points.
This app has been awesome for getting my kids motivated!! My oldest has been trying to outdo himself every week, and even my three year old loves to do her chores and get points! One thing I would change is making it easier to give partial credit if a kid only does half the job, or 3/4 of it. I have figured out work arounds, but the app is working slower since the update and the workarounds, and even the usage if the app, has become more difficult.
I tested the free version, wich allows full functionality but limits the Nr of tasks. I bought the premium version, but it responds ridiculously slow. You have to wait ~10 seconds after EVERY button press, making it totally unworkable. The functionality is great though, with one exception: if you do task rotation, you can't set the initial conditions. It's always the same person assigned at the start of the task rotation. Doesn't work well.
Seems like this app isn't being worked on anymore. Too bad cus it's really good in a number of ways, but I'm missing a few features and there are also still some bugs. Also some features like the icon with a yellow clock, isn't explained anywhere and I guess it's for postponing a task till next time but it doesn't seem to be always working properly. Love that you can just pay a one time fee though, there are way too many subscription services these days.
It's difficult to customize lists with this app. I wish I could categorize chores by room, because I have two guest bedrooms and an office and I don't know where to put the chores corresponding to those rooms and I don't do all the tasks for them at the same time. I tried adding an extra list but the app doesn't seem to let me. I like this app because it includes making meals as a chore which I think is more accurate than only including cleaning tasks. I also like the rules and rewards.
Great Motivator. This app is working in a way I never thought would help with getting the little to do her chores but she wants to "win" so she's doing everything she can. Only complaint is lag. It seems to hang and waiting to add stuff is a bit annoying. Also input. When I choose someone to "validate" I don't want to constantly check to see if I am unchecked so I'm not validated too.
Me and my bf have tested this app a short week and its good but not perfect, we miss dark mode first off all, its a lot of bright white when logging your tasks at the end of the day. I would like an option to choose who starts when rotating between people so not one person always starts. And i would love for a way to get the tasks into my own calendar so i can use my regular sectograph to keep track, because Nipto is really bad at notifications!
