Hello, friends!
Good news – we finally released the new Home Routines app! If you pre-ordered it earlier it may already be on your device, but otherwise you can find it on the App store here. Give it a try!
It’s a brand new, free app, separate from the “Classic” version, and it won’t overwrite or replace the original. Plus, it will import all your data so you should be ready to roll. (More information for users of the previous app here)
We have already received some excellent feedback from the folks that have downloaded it so far, and we appreciate it so much! It makes such a difference to be getting real input, instead of us just going round in circles in our little home office.
App Updates
We have released a few small updates since release:
- Tightened up the user interface a bit to fit more lists on the screen
- Fixed the One Thing view that was cropped on some phones
- Fixed the bi-weekly toggle switch
- Made it easier to dismiss the keyboard after entering a task (just tap anywhere!)
- Added a “Restore subscription” button
After catching up with the sneaky bugs, we are looking forward to adding new (and missing!) features.
What’s coming up next?
- We didn’t include a “Daily Reminders” feature in this version, and it seems we did not realise how beloved those little messages are! We are looking at the best way to include this in the near future.
- We have also had a lot of requests to manage the Other Lists section (it gets too long!) and we are also investigating this.
Lastly, we have had some users run into difficulties syncing between devices, particularly if their iCloud storage is full or unavailable. Please let us know if this is happening to you. We’re improving the communication in the app if this happens.
We appreciate all your messages and App Store reviews!
Take care,
Rosie and Tim ⭐️
