There are a couple of different ways to reset the app to the defaults.

Warning: all these approaches will overwrite all of your routines, todo lists, and zones.
Option 1: From My.HomeRoutines.com
If you have a My.HomeRoutines account, you can reset you account to the default lists. This will affect all devices syncing with your My.HomeRoutines account.Firstly, download and save this file to your computer:  Default Settings for HomeRoutines

Then:

  1. Log in to My.HomeRoutines.com
  2. Click the “Account” tab.
  3. Click the “Choose File” button, and select the default settings file you saved above.
  4. Click the “Restore Backup” button.
  5. You will see a short success message, then you may click the back button to return to the My.HomeRoutines site.

Or, Option 2: Delete and re-install the app
Alternatively, you can just do it with the device itself:

  1. Touch and hold any application icon on the Home screen until the icons start to wiggle.
  2. Tap the “x” in the corner of the HomeRoutines app.
  3. Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device touch.
  4. Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
  5. Go to the App Store on your device.
  6. Go to the Updates tab and select “Purchases”. Locate HomeRoutines and touch the install button.
