HomeRoutines

by Wunderbear

HomeRoutines is an app that is described to clean up your email and calendar applications and get housework done, efficiently and quickly. The main concept is to organize your chores into “Focus Zones”, which allows you to hit certain rooms each day. This app is also incredibly stable and as a standalone chore manager, it gets the job done. It's worth every penny.

You Rule Chores

by Opposite Inc

You Rule Chores is an awesome app that uses a game setting as an incentive to get kids to do chores. The basis of the app is the same as any other chores app, but the twist is allowing children to set themselves up as a character and earn points for each chore they accomplish. The concept provides parents with a reward system including coins and power ups. These can be used as virtual money to buy an item on their wish list, which may make chore day a bit easier on everybody.

Chore Pad

by Nannek

Many parents often give their children some kind of rewards to do what they are told. With Chore Pad, every member of the family can enjoy that same deal with virtual trophies. Each time a person completes a listed chore, they are given a star, which they can later cash out for a trophy. It is a great basis for parents to give a physical reward for whoever has the most trophies at the end of the month. While this all sounds great, this app is more suitable for families with younger children. For everyone else, I recommend checking out another app.

Chore Hero

by The Playforge, LLC

Chore Hero is another fun app for getting chores done in a family environment. The main function of the app is to create chores and assign someone to it, and when the person completes the task they get points for their deed. Those with the most points get a fancy title in the app. Like Chore Pad, points can be a basis for physical rewards for children. The reason it is not higher in the list is because Chore Hero has some fundamental flaws, such as considering every chore as a weekly to do, and lack of Retina Display support. Overall, this chore competition app is very good for parents with young children as it encourages them to do more around the house despite its few flaws.
