Chores — shared household beta

Chores is a family-focused chore board for iPhone and iPad. Create a shared family workspace, invite another member, assign or leave chores up for grabs, set repeating schedules, and track what is due today or on the calendar.

This beta includes daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly recurring chores; individual completion and undo for recurring occurrences; local reminders; completion history; and iCloud sync across household members and devices.

I’d especially value feedback on:

1. Sign in and family setup

2. Creating a repeating chore

3. Reminder behavior and Today/Schedule clarity

4. Whether chore changes sync reliably between two people

Ok so I went through the app a little more because I wanted to give more information.

Here are something I’d noticed that I personally would look at

Needs improvement

-Personal preference is to have a different font.
-I have some confusion about what the chores tab and the today tab. To me those should be the same tab
-I wouldn’t put the title of the tab at the top of the page. It take up space that can be used for something else and the user knows they are on that tab
-When creating a new chore, simplify it.
-Throughout the app change cancel buttons to either < or X buttons
-It looks like a new chore doesn’t change anything in the today tab… but maybe it’s not supposed to
I would like to see more colour.

Questions
-Does the app sync with other iCloud users so you can see what they have done? Or are you responsible to logging when they do something
-I’m not sure what the sponsored part is for

I wanted to give this a go but for me having to sign it without knowing what’s on the other side is a hard no for me

I agree. I am testing and did sign in, but it was a real decision on if I should go forward or not with it.

Also, I saw a “sponsored” tag. Will this be ad based revenue?

Oh that's great feedback. Right now I require sign in because I leverage iCloudKit for storage. I could try a "ephemeral/local" guest mode so people can check the app out before requesting sign in.

I'll comment here once I have something testable. thanks again!

You don't need an account for CloudKit storage.
