HomeRoutines 2.5 Update

Published by Rosie on February 6, 2013

There’s a new update in the app store for HomeRoutines.

Nifty new features include:

  • New bi-weekly*, monthly and manual reset schedules for your routines
  • Choose which months of the year routines will appear – for seasonal routines
  • Support for iPhone 5 screen resolution
  • Improved iPad artwork for retina screens
  • Bug fixes for star resets, background music, timer sounds, routine reminders, bluetooth hotspots and more
  • HomeRoutines is now a universal app. Whether you originally purchased the iPhone or iPad version, it will now work on either device.

UPDATE, 8 February

We have identified a couple of bugs in HomeRoutines 2.5 (Special thanks to those of you who’ve taken time to let us know!)

The first affects the new bi-weekly routines. Only “Week A” routines are appearing , regardless of which week you have selected.   Bi-weekly reminders are also not appearing correctly.

The second bug is affecting the sync service.  Sometimes changes are sent up to the server but then decide to stay there, rather than coming back down to the app.  This means that syncing between two devices is not working consistently.

We are very sorry that these bugs are marring our new update, which we are otherwise very proud of. We have stayed up late and submitted an update to Apple, but it takes about a week for the App Store to review it and release it to the store.

We will keep you posted as we have any news, and apologies again if you’re affected by the bugs.

  • if you tried to copy without selecting something first, it made the app crash
  • if you pasted multiple tasks it caused a bug
  • We’ve improved the app’s performance on older devices, and fixed various other little bugs.

What’s New for iPad in HomeRoutines 1.81

We also fixed some bugs that occurred on iPads running iOS3:

  • if you tried to copy without selecting something first, it made the app crash

HomeRoutines for iPad

HomeRoutines is now available for the iPad!

It includes a new interface design for the iPad, and all the great features of the iPhone version. We’ve worked hard to make this a great app for the iPad, and hope you enjoy it!

Take charge of your recurring home tasks with HomeRoutines, now on the iPad. Create routine checklists, then complete them on your chosen days of the week, with reminder notifications to keep you on track and a gold star for each completed task. Your checklists can automatically reset – start fresh each morning. HomeRoutines is totally customizable, easy to use, and friendly, not bossy.

Keep your email, calendar and to-do lists clutter free by keeping recurring housework chores in HomeRoutines, the only app designed from scratch to suit the real flow of your home.

Detailed cleaning lists are built in with the “Focus Zones” section – add rooms and tasks to suit your house, then do a little bit of extra housework every day and you’ll never have to spring clean again! Up to seven zones so you can switch focus each  day of the week. If you’re a “Flylady*” fan, you’ll love the option to switch zone each week of the month to stay in sync with her zone schedule.

Discover the power of speed cleaning with HomeRoutines’ built-in timer – set your timer to 10 or 15 minutes, set your mind to it and see how much gets done.

There’s even a built-in to-do list for simple one-off jobs, and a daily message option helps you plan the pattern of your weekdays.

HomeRoutines’ unique Accomplishments list is the “Tada!” to your todo. Review all the tasks you’ve completed today. You can even share your accomplishments via email.

Focus on a task list by rotating your iPad to portrait, or stay in landscape mode for an overview of your day.
