Home Routines Classic

Exactly what I needed and one of the few excellent apps that doesn’t require a subscription fee. Kudos.

Do NOT make it a subscription service please. I will be really angry. I purchased this long ago, and I do not want to have to start doling out money monthly. Notice my rating is 5 stars? That is because the app is great. But don’t make it a subscription or it won’t be great anymore.

Home routines has been just incredible. When I was working it help keep me on track in the morning. Leaving the office the list made sure I had what I needed. Now I use the app for groceries I make the list of standards I get from the store. Add the star to each item I need then in the store I remove the star when I place item in my cart. Thank you for a quality versatile stable app that actually delivers more than it says it does.

I have been using this app for years now and absolutely love it! The tab for a daily focus, the way the stars reset daily (at a time of your choosing), the built-in timer and simple to do lists, make it super easy to stay focused on what I’m doing at that moment. The app is very simple and easy to use and edit…unlike other apps that tend to overcomplicate the system. I’m super excited to see what the new update will offer! ETA…still waiting for the new update! An Apple Watch app would be an amazing update!

I wasted two hours customizing this app for a weeks’ worth of chores and in doing so discovered how limited and clumsy it is. A spreadsheet would be more useful than this app. The default checking of boxes that you must individually uncheck for one time tasks wastes sooo much of my time. The interface is outdated and unfriendly to people used to intuitive software applications. I can overlook an inelegant aesthetic if the functionality and efficiency is there. Not the case here. After opening it for the first time and attempting to simply add tasks for completion, I instantly felt dumb for paying for this app. Seriously suspicious about the glowing reviews on this one until I noticed the dates of the reviews. How has this app survived as a PAID app for decade or more on the App Store? Baffling.

I just got it and already regret it. Editing zones is cumbersome, I have to get out and click edit each time I want to add something because the “plus” sign doesn’t work. I can’t separate weekly from seasonal, which is what I most wanted. I can’t designate weekly tasks to which day of the week I want them. It is too simple and looks like a website from the 2000’s.

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.

I've left this app several times but always find myself coming back..Just wish it had some more functionality.

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.

It would be nice to have a home widget to complete todays routine items
