Home Routines FAQ
Is Home Routines free?
Yes, Home Routines is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Home Routines legit?
✅ The Home Routines app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
As a Flylady follower, this app works perfectly to keep me on track. I’ve used used the Cozi app but love the simplicity of this one. It’s simple enough to keep me from getting distracted and I was able to customize it to meet my needs. The only thing I would change is to have either a blank notes page or a place to add meal plan info.
Works
I've left this app several times but always find myself coming back..Just wish it had some more functionality.
Used for over a decade
I am very anal about “to do’s” and use apps for housework, grocery lists and everything else.
I have used Home Routines for more years than I can recall. I don’t use all the features, but set up zones and rooms and tasks for all my stuff and use it almost daily.
The only change I could suggest would be to allow a user to enter the date a task or room was completed. I enter this info into the descriptions. But it is very manual.
Widget please…
It would be nice to have a home widget to complete todays routine items
I’ve used this App for years.
This is my favorite app for keeping me moving along with housework, appointments, vet/dogs meds, I’ve used this for years. I can edit the heck out of this app, and I love that. I have morning routines, midday routines (if I want), evening routines, daily to-do lists as needed during busy times. This is a very helpful app…with a timer too for motivation. I use this with kids, and now I’m older without kids at home…..still a helpful app for motivation and getting it done. It’s nice to check things off. Housework is so boring and this makes it more fun.
Zones
Please add more zones. Thank you
Better than Flylady's app
I've been using this app for years, trying different things but always coming back to it. It's great for all my "repeaty" things and really helps me stay organized. It helps me stay very focused. It may be an older app, but sometimes simplicity is best.
Love it would only change one thing!
I love this app the only thing I think it’s missing is a widget!
Love how versatile this app can be!
I have customized this app for so many different life organization needs, from cleaning routines to self care checklists to supplement/vitamin schedules. I love how organized it keeps me & how versatile it is! Many of my favorite apps have been disappearing, so I really hope this one will continue to be reliable and supported!
My favorite app of all time excellent for ADHD and checklists
I rave about this app. I’m ADHD and this is the only thing I’ve ever done/used consistently everyday for the last 8 years. I’ve used it as a chore app but I also use it as a checklist for everything. I have a bedtime list, a morning list a to do list a packing list and I actually use it for those more than I do the chores but little by little I tweak things. It helps me remember what I was supposed to be doing, when I get distracted and what I need to do next. I love how simple it is to add lists. You can export lists and it types it out in note form or past lists from notes and it separates the items out just from pasting. It’s amazing! I also love how it resets everyday if you want it to so I can start over with my daily things. You can set lists to only show on certain days. Very versatile with the simplest interface. I didn’t like how other to do apps make you go in and schedule everything and fill out a bunch of information for each item, I can just type quickly and hit enter and it adds and moves down to the next line. Ease of a note pad, function of a checklist without extra work. My only complaint is it isn’t on android, or wasn’t when I had one, it’s actually a huge reason why I switched from android to back to iPhone. Because the app wasn’t available at the time and I use it EVERYDAY. That’s a lot coming from someone with ADHD.
