I love Housy, the creators are very involved and kind and understanding! And it works great it has many features that other apps like this don't have or you have to have multiple of them and switch between them if you want all of the features

Wow! This is great! My wishes: 1) Let us choose any number for points. 1 for feeding the dogs vs. 5 for mowing the lawn doesn't seem very fair to the kids. My brain is thinking a penny a point. 2) Set up tags. This would allow us to group by anything, such as part of day (for us, wake, morning, midday, eve, bedtime). We could also do things like dogs, baking, or other areas the kids enjoy, but things that are not what we would use for a list name. I look forward to getting us all set up!

I just got done reading a review that claimed the app wasn't free. A dev replied to it and said that the core app was free, so I installed it. I was immediately hit with a 3 day free trial and three payment tiers after the trial ends. Three days?! Your app is not free, don't lie.

Great app with an active and responsive developer! Had a couple issues and suggestions and the developer responded with fixes and took my suggestions into consideration. I look forward to using the app and seeing it's progress.

so far haven't fully explored, but it seems seamless enough on my phone while offering fantastic features. some require payment but you can, at least as of writing this, buy a lifetime membership

Paid for lifetime and absolutely worth it so far! It'd be nice if they added the ability to choose a specific time that something had to be done (since I'm also using this app to track pet feeding times as well for my partner and I to know she's been fed and when haha) I'm not sure if this feature is broken but when I tick off something my partner has done in the app it doesn't add to his profile, it would be nice for that to work as my partner has ADHD and does things without using the app

Such a promising app but for the life of me I can't add my girlfriend to my household. When I send her the link, her [iOS] device opens it in a web browser to download the app. After doing that there is no way for her to join the household. Clicking the link again just takes her to the same website. I gave her the 8-character code but there is no place in the app to enter it. It is frustrating to hit this wall after spending an hour setting up my tasks.

This is a very useful app. When I first added it, there were several things I thought could be tweaked to make it more user-friendly. I emailed the app developer and he was very responsive to the suggestions. Since some changes were made, I am really liking this app now. Definitely recommend, particularly helpful for those like me with ADD.

I'm not one to leave reviews often, but this app is fantastic. Has a one off license payment option instead of only a subscription, wonderful design and very active developer! Am looking forward to using this to help my partner and I at home!

This is a very well-made app in features, and UI, but surprisingly it's missing 1 crucial feature for apps of this type, home screen widgets. You can't beat seeing your upcoming tasks right there when you turn the phone on. With widgets this would be a 5 star app for sure. Update: Thanks for the feedback, my thumb is hovering over that 5th star! 😉

This app has been amazing at helping me tackle my house. As a single parent, I struggle with delegating and this helps tremendously with that as well. I can assign points to each task and relate that to their allowance. I'm terrible with chore charts and other methods, but this had worked like a charm. The cost for the full version is so minimal, it's 100% worth it.

Amazing app. I love that this allows you to adjust how much a task needs done, so if something the app thinks needs done but doesn't you don't have to just check it off, you can change the urgency of the task. I feel like I finally found something my ADHD brain can stick to in order to keep things done in my house so I don't have to panic clean a disgusting area twice a month, I just stay on top of tasks I've forgotten exist. 10/10 absolutely love this app!

I was a free anonymous user of this app. It has every feature that paid apps would have with NO ads. You get reminders, scheduling n amount of days, weeks, months, chore areas, shared repos, all the basics. Yeah it's fairly visually basic compared to other more flashier apps, but you can't beat free. The only issue I had was that when changing the area name the keyboard would pop up over the text.We switched apps at the behest of my girlfriend who likes a fancier things Maybe add a color picker?

It's fairly intuitive and clean interface. I like the days/effort feature. The only thing that isn't intuitive is the red/yellow/green scale. I can see it indicates importance or priority- but what color indicates what level? I'm guessing green is high priority (because it's more bars) but at the same time red seems more like the intense color for higher priority. It would help if that part was a little more clear. Would also be amazing if it could integrate with Google or Alexa! Thank you!

This app isn't free. It a free trial then $4.99 per month. Isn't worth paying for what a basic checklist could do. Developer responded they do have a free option. I downloaded the app again. Went through options (selected Kitchen start), hit skip on purchase (which should lead to free). On main purple screen NOTHING could be selected: Kitchen box, Breakthrough, Organize, Review, Settings, Add New. I stick with the initial thought - for $4.99 per month isn't worth it. Find a free one.

I've been using this app for my kids for a week and it has been a great motivator. They "cashed in" points yesterday for a fun outing. The only way I could find to take points away from their total, was to delete tasks they previously completed. It would be great if I could just adjust their points bank without removing their completed tasks (both for convenience and to keep the record!)

I have ADHD and struggle to even remember what I need to do and/or not being overwhelmed by it all. This app helps me keep track of the things that might be missed that are not daily and keep on top of daily things. I've tried many apps, never liked them. I gave this one a shot and it's been well worth it. When problems come with an update, they are right on it and fix it immediately. You aren't stuck like with other apps for weeks on end or more. Their CS is top line!
