Review summary

Chore Checklist is highly customizable and effective for tracking and scheduling recurring chores, with reliable reminders and a versatile structure. Reviewers praise nested lists, multiple frequencies, and progress visibility. However, the app is plagued by monetization frustrations, unreliable cross-device syncing, and stability issues. Usability is sometimes poor, with confusing navigation and weak help documentation. Overall it’s a powerful, versatile tool for managing household duties, but requires patience to overcome price, syncing, and reliability hurdles.

Pros

Highly customizable with nested lists, custom categories, and flexible recurrence (daily/weekly/monthly).
Reliable reminders/alarms help you remember chores.
Strong support for recurring tasks across multiple frequencies, making scheduling easier.
User-friendly and versatile for households and personal task management.
Effective at showing completion progress and keeping tasks organized.

Cons

Monetization-heavy model with upgrades, cloud access fees, and per-device purchases.
Unreliable cross-device syncing; manual syncs can lead to inconsistencies or data loss.
Frequent crashes and bugs, causing freezes or slow performance.
Editing is restricted: you can't delete default chores or move items between lists.
Help/documentation is weak (blank help page and no clear instructions).

2021-01-08	Ro*****	I have been using this app for years now. It help me keep track of when chores have been completed, especially the ones that are only done a few times a year. I use the app to keep track of when I change the air filters in my house since I have ones that need to be changed twice a year and others that need to be changed quarterly. You can set notifications to help you remember chores. Place notes with the chore such as cleaning floors with which cleaning product. The only issue I have with this app is not having more time categories such as bi-weekly and semi-annual. I have been able to place chores not only for my own home but to help me with chores that I need to complete over at my parents house.

2019-03-07	Ma*****	Very happy with this ap. I’ve used it for years. I’ve tried others and none are as customizable, or as intuitive as this.

2019-01-28	Sq*****	This app is exactly what I was looking for, but it needs some major improvements. It isn’t organized at all, and it’s really hard to use. It’s really stupid how you have to use the default chores that are already on it, you can’t delete them, add new ones, or even just create a new list. Did anyone even test this app before it was public?

2018-06-18	Ho*****	Downloaded this app with the expectation we would pay either for a full version or a subscription. Not a problem. However, in order to use this app on multiple devices, as stated in the description and share chore charts, not only does each device have to pay for the ap...still not a huge deal for 3 devices at $2 each, but you also have to purchase access to some cloud access for $5 each. At this point I’m paying nearly $20 for what appears to be a $2 app. Just very shady. Deleted app on principal.

2017-04-11	In*****	You have to pay for upgrade, I do NOT like that. I couldn't add or change anything so do NOT get unless you want to purchase something!!!!

2016-12-02	KH*****	I wasn't able to customize much, you don't get much with the free version and it's really a more confusing view of something I could just make in my notes app. The look is very archaic and it's not easy to use or look at. Good idea but this app just didn't do the trick.

2016-11-28	Re*****	This app seemed great until I tried to schedule a chore! The app stated that it needed to be upgraded in order to change the schedule of chore. I got frustrated and deleted this app immediately.

2016-06-20	Fr*****	If you are using only on one device, it works fine. However, if you are trying to get the family to use it and sync their activities on their devices, it's horrible. It does not automatically sync and when it is synced manually, you never know what the app will do. Plus, somehow the app deleted all my routines for one of my checklists. All this after buying the add ons and multiple emails to product support to get other devices added. Wasted a LOT of my time.

2016-06-10	Re*****	I didn't have this app for more than 60 seconds and I deleted it. It looks cool until you notice that you have to purchase every part of it separately.

2016-06-07	Xx*****	I just opened the app and immediately you have to buy something I thought this will be a good app but you can't use something without paying
