Good app. Lots of potential. – Chorma for Chores Review

(Was a 3-star review; see the end for why it's only 2.) This app has entirely transformed the way my household handles chores. We used to have the standard arguments about who was doing how much of what, and is it enough. Now, each of us sees the work that others are doing, and when one of us wants to pick up some points we can scroll through a list of available chores to pick out which one we want to do right now. As we do the chores, I switch back and forth with the stopwatch app to capture how long it's taking (which is how we chose to determine the number of points to assign), and then update the number of points on the chore before marking it done. Sometimes I'll pick out the next day's chores for myself, and claim them, so the other folks in my household know not to do those tasks. What could be improved? I'd like a tagging system and the ability to filter views, so I can more easily organize the work we do (we include grocery shopping, meal planning, meal prep, kitchen cleaning, yard work, maintenance stuff like stocking soap and TP and verifying that all the lights in the house are working, driving kids around town, etc etc — a lot of things). Ideally, I could see a list of available chores with a particular tag. I'd also love to have a note field on the chore, so we could make more information available re what we consider to be "done" — and leave the name field as a quick summary. (That would make it easier, I think, in households with a variety of different understandings of what constitutes "clean," for example. Like, with kids who are just starting to do chores, or are learning a new level of engagement with them.) The other thing I think would be useful would be a button or switch in the settings area where I could re-activate or later access the tutorial; I skipped through it too quickly the first time, and now I'm not sure I know what all the buttons do. So in all, I think this app is great — and I would like to see some improvements. Edited to add: this app lost another star for requiring that we send an email to redeem / reset our household points.
