Labor of Love: Tasks Marriage

While researching productivity apps, I was hesitant to try this one because I’m not married and didn’t really think it was geared towards me. But looking at the features I couldn’t deny it seemed like the best, and it definitely is! I have to say that the points/reward system is amazing! This is really what takes it above the iPhone reminders app. I can make to-do lists all day, but my problem is motivation to actually complete them (I have ADHD so it’s a real struggle). Seeing the points bar progress towards a goal I’ve created is so satisfying. I also love that I can create multiple lists, and sublists for certain tasks/projects. I’ve started using this for work, my morning routine, house cleaning, and more! Only thing I haven’t done yet is share a list with someone else. But as my boyfriend and I are heading towards moving in together, I’m definitely getting him on board. My only suggestion would be tasks that you can multiply. For example, sometimes putting away all the clutter in a room feels overwhelming, but if I could give myself a point for each item I put away it feels a lot more manageable. For now, I either have to keep the whole task together, or manually create duplicates of the same tasks. It’s a small gripe overall though. I love this app!

This is great and has helped our relationship when it comes to household chores. I have noticed the list does not always refresh for the next day and some tasks will not show on one persons app but show on the other. Something that should be addressed in the next update

I read about this app in an article. It peaked my interest with 3 young kids and loads of stuff happening due to the pandemic. We are all home and crazy. I am always seeking better ways to organize chores. I did not initially add anyone to the member list as I wanted to test the app out. Presently, I can not add members, I can not change the reward I set. When I click rewards it brings me to a blank screen with an ad for google at the top. When I click profile the only info is my name and email. I am very well versed in electronics, computers, gaming etc. I can not make this app work, unless it was just for me. In which case I have plenty of apps as to do lists that function better. Thank goodness I didn’t pay for it. Maybe when you work out the glitches it may be worth trying again. Otherwise Cozi is a great app, as well as Trello. I was just hoping to simplify for the younger kids! Good luck.
