I don't get the HomeRoutines app - can anyone help?

I don't get it.

It seems like I can only have the same task lists for every day, and only change them in the morning - and then the task list is changed for every day. That can't be right?

What I was hoping I could do is set a list for weekdays when I don't work, a list for weekdays when I am at work and a list for weekends. And be able to add 'one off' things to them, like buying birthday presents, etc. I thought that's how this app worked?

I've looked at the online help page, and I still don't get it

Sorry i'm having the same problem- at least you're not alone :)

You can do it that way, first make up the three lists (I found it easier to use the website for writing lists), then go into each list and go to the bottom which has a bit to choose which days to show the list and when to reset the stars, and also an option to set a reminder for that list. Also, you can set the Zone feature to do either one Zone per day of the week and reset weekly, or one Zone per week of the month and reset monthly. One off things don't really work with it though, I set a reminder in my calendar for stuff like that. There is the to-do list bit in HR but I always forget to check it.

The basic tasks are the same for each day (so I have feed fish (really) and get something out for tea - that kind of thing), but you can allocate a 'zone' to each day so Monday, zone 1 = bedrooms, Tuesday, zone 2 = hallway and you can set specific tasks within that zone. Is that what you mean? There's also a to do list on which I put things like buying presents or ringing someone, I update that weekly.
