In one day of using, we have experienced..

- Not being able to switch accounts between children.

- Instead of the name appearing one time, everything is doubled. “This chore is signed to BobBob, AnnaAnna, DavidDavid, GeorgeGeorge”

- Cannot press back button quite frequently. The loading sign appears, and just stops there. Forever. Have to close the app and re-open.

- When we go to submit a chore, the app crashes.

- When we go to submit the picture, after FINALLY being able to submit the chore, the app crashes.

- FINALLY, we have submitted the chore!!! But what on earth is happening!? Four new notifications. 🤔 Apparently, the system feels that every single time a chore is completed, that it was a huge team effort. Because it tells me everyone did it, and now I have to go and approve the one and deny every other family member.

- 1 hour I into using this, my husband texts me “Deny. Deny. Deny.” I’m sure he appreciates getting bogged down with notifications that were 100# unnecessary, because the chore shouldn’t have been marked complete in the first place. And, this was only for the small amount of chores my kids could actually submit.

- Finally, my son has come into my room and tossed the phone on the bed and said “I’m DONE with this app!!! 🤬”

I would NEVER, under any circumstances, recommend this app.

This app is a great concept, however there are some pretty significant issues. I have been using it with my daughter now for about 2 weeks and at first it seemed really promising, but as we use it it has become increasingly frustrating.
Firstly, if you want to use any really useful functions you have to pay for the app. $4.99/mo. Is a bit steep in my opinion. I'd rather give that money to my daughter for her allowance. First issue is the lack of ability to approve or disapprove completed chores. This is pretty basic and should be included. They claim that the fee for the app is to cover the cost of using the banking features. I do not need those features, but would still like to use the other features, like jars!!! Perhaps the developers could consider 2 subscription levels, with a cheaper price for those of us who do not need the banking features. I would gladly pay $2/month to use all of the other features.
Another annoying thing is the notifications. I am constantly getting notifications, but when I log into the app I see nothing. No notification link or section and nothing to indicate what the notification is for. Pretty annoying.
I am going to plug along for a little longer, but sadly feel that if the improvements I suggested don't happen I will have to move on to another app.

I went in with high hopes but using Homey is ultimately a frustrating and distracting experience. I’m trying to work through my chores as quickly and effectively as possible, but even though it has me marked as overdue on my work I can’t interact or scroll through my everyday chores. Instead I’m bombarded with request to take pictures of completed work or provide feedback with no simple way to cancel. If my life was organized and together, if I had lots of free time to take pictures or write feedback I wouldn’t need a chore app. Instead my life is not together and I’m behind constantly hassled by an app that’s supposed to help.

Ultimately gets two stars instead of one because it is effective for organizing and tracking work when it’s not throwing pop ups at you.
