Ratings and Reviews
Misleading
I downloaded this app with a referral from my homeowners insurance company with an enticement of “3 months free trial”. The app is helpful and teaches me things to do that I would not have thought about, however, I only got through the 1st month when they started charging me. There have also been some opportunities to speak with the developers through virtual chat sessions, however, I signed up for 2 of these and no one shows up and they get cancelled. So while this is a very helpful app, I’m not sure what to think of the company and developers.

Hi there,
We're so sorry for the inconveniences our app has caused you. Please email upkept@cr.consumer.org with your feedback. We promise to straighten out the issues you have experienced as soon as possible.
Thank you
Great Value
$4.99/mo with no ads with the potential of saving you $1000s in costly repairs from poor upkeep is a stellar value.
I only wish there was an option to pay for your subscription through the Consumer Reports website rather than through the app. I’d much rather have CR get the 30% cut that Apple gouges from app subscriptions.
Grading upkeep items as critical, important or extra credit helps prioritize home maintenance without getting overwhelmed.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback! Upkept and Consumer Reports are separate subscriptions, but we appreciate hearing the feedback on combining them! Our team is always looking for features to add to improve the app! Thank you for your suggestion!
Like a lot but
I love a lot of the features but I really wish you could change the month for predetermined tasks. For instance, in my area we won’t to aerate and seed in September but the app won’t let me move the task
Developer Response ,
Hey there,
Thank you for the feedback! We're working on custom scheduling and hope to have it available in the app soon which would allow you to make changes like the one you used as an example above. Thank you for the suggestion!
