    Overwhelmed son — I wish there was a way to stop upcoming tasks from showing. It’s overwhelming for my son and causes him to be confused and shut down. ETA: I just found how to fix it! Thanks!

    So difficult — Why can't I just search for a card when I know the name of it? Jesus the iPhone UI sucks!

  • Homey - Chores and Allowance1star· Aug 7, 2026

    Cumbersome — Everyday, every single chore that my kids don’t do, the chores ‘expire’ and I have to go in to every chore every day and manually reset it. It doesn’t even count against them on the days they don’t do it. It just shows nothing so their percentage of chores completed doesn’t change either. This was a waste of money.

    Bugs with Apple — Interactions for notes do not work. Reached out to fix but no response. When the face icon is selected to bring up interactions for a note, it says “No results found.” I need to reply with an emoji instead. Also when notification is selected, doesn’t always open the task card.

    Doesn’t play well with digital displays — I’ve subscribed to Cozi Gold since 2017 and love it, but will be cancelling my account. We have a digital display (Mango Display) and for months Cozi worked great. In February there was an update causing all day events to start at either 11pm the day prior or 4am day of. On very, very rare occasions it displays the start time correctly for a very short amo

    Updates — Can you please list in the release notes what you are actually fixing instead of just “we are making the app awesome for you” or “bye bye bugs”?

    Stupid passcode — You can’t change the password, and it is picking a random password.

  • Cozi Family Organizer1star· Aug 14, 2026

    BS Log in system — I don’t know if I’m stupid but I couldn’t log in correctly for the life of me for this app. My mom now blames me for constantly missing events and not knowing addresses when I physically cannot get it. She then believes this app never wrong and when I tell her she doesn’t believe me. Please help

  • Trello: Daily Task Tracker2star· Jul 23, 2026

    Can’t log in — I can no longer log into this app on my phone, which makes it useless. No matter what I click, including contacting support, I get a message saying it can’t connect to the server. I don’t have this issue with any other app on my phone.

  • Homey - Chores and Allowance2star· Aug 11, 2026

    Expired Responsibilities — We've been using this app as a family for quite some time and really love it overall. It clearly differentiates between responsibilities we do because we're part of a family versus paid jobs, and I appreciate that kids can have separate jars for spending, saving, and donating. My main issue: while chores can be set without time limits, responsibilities now expire. If ki

    Used to be good — This app used to be great, creator was willing to work on issues. Now the chores between 5 kids are always uneven, which defeats the purpose of the app. I reached out months ago. And no response. Reached out again last week, and again, no response. We’ll be looking for a new chores app I guess!

How markets are ranked

We give each market a mark out of 100 for seven things (nobody's fixed it 20 · above the norm 15 · how angry 10 · room to build 15 · room to enter 15 · getting bigger 20 · willingness to pay 5). Then we multiply the marks together. We do not average them.

Averaging lets a market hide one bad problem behind good numbers. Multiplying means one bad mark pulls the whole score down. That is the point. A market you cannot win is still a market you cannot win, however badly it is served.

Each mark has a fixed rule. Nobody’s fixed it and willingness to pay are plain shares. Above the norm maxes out at 4 times the store’s usual rate. How angry runs from star3.0 down to star1.5. Room to enter is what the biggest app does not own. Getting bigger hits 100 at 10% growth. Room to build is different. It is a sweet spot, not a size. A market can be too small to live on, or too big to break into.

If we cannot count something, we leave it out. We never guess it. The score only sorts this list. Every other number you see on a market is counted.

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,728 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
