No Historical Completion Dates
Joeyjo7162014
At first I was very excited about this app, it looked like a great way to manage my household cleaning. But I quickly realized there is no historical tracking of when you completed a task, and that is apparently on purpose. If I cleaned every area of my house already once a month, I wouldn't need an app to help me. I wanted something that would tell me how many weeks it had been since I finished a task so I could evaluate the priority of doing it again, and this app just doesn't do that. Also, I contacted the company two times after purchasing the app to ask them how to track historical calendar information, and never got a response. The only way I discovered the app was designed to NOT track historical completion dates was by searching their FAQ. Other apps that I have paid for have always responded to customer questions in a matter of a few days, so I am very disappointed I never got any sort of response. I wish I could get my money back!!
Great so far

I am really enjoying this app. I would really like it if you would add the options for 4 and/or 8 numbers of zones. Thanks!
Love this app!

I love this app! I've been using it for years. If I could change one thing it would be that the date that the job was last completed showed up on the list. It is sometimes easy to keep skipping certain jobs and it would be nice to have that date staring me in the face on a daily basis.
So worth the money

"I'm not paying $5 for an app. That's crazy." Fast forward 2 months and 4 or 5 apps later and I forked over the $5. And I will never look back. If you are wondering if it's really worth the money, let me put it this way - if you had a better system of cleaning your house you wouldn't be on the App Store trying to find one to tell you how to do it. So just skip the Starbucks tomorrow and go ahead and get this app. Spend like 20 minutes customizing the zone lists and the daily routines. Then set that little timer on the bottom and do 15 minutes worth in whatever zone the app assigned you at. You will be so amazed at everything you get to check off. The longer you use it the better you'll get at customizing it to fit your particular home. But seriously, it's super easy to use and it takes the guess work out of figuring out what to clean when. You've already wasted 15 minutes searching on the App Store and reading these reviews. You could be done cleaning for the day by now. Go buy this app!
Mostly love it!

The only problem I have with this app is the inability to change the start day for a new zone. Otherwise, the app was exactly what I was looking for!
What a wonderful app.

Thanks for the wonderful app. As a person with ADHD and dyslexia your app is fantastic. I use it in many more places than advertised. It is that versatile. The ability to use Apple emoji really makes this tool very adaptive.
Pretty darn good.

I have been using this for years now. I guess you could call it thoroughly enough tested that I can present my opinion. This is pretty much the best. I have about eight other to do apps I have tried, and two to do websites. The simple ability to say I do these things every day, and I want to check them off, as I do them, every day - why is this so revolutionary? If you want a to do you have to enter it for every day you’re going to do it on most of these to do apps. It is like they’re trying to reinvent the wheel and the fact that it needs to be round most of the time is really hard for them to grasp. Yes, I need to be reminded to take my pills every day. And a reminder that I meant to strip the beds and wash the sheets every week (dust allergies) would be helpful too, and if I only have to enter it once, instead of one time for every week that I intend to strip the sheets off the bed, that would be marvelous. You understand me, and the nature of my life. If there was one thing I could imagine adding, it would be a toggle for winter versus summer, so that I could have one list of to dos for when the snow is on the ground, like shoveling and scattering sand and salt, and another for when the lawn and garden need attention, like mow once a week, get out in the garden and weed for 15 minutes every day, check the week to see what needs planting this week, you know the drill. But I get by switching out weeding for shoveling manually.
It's ok

I wish I could set specific routines for certain days only. Like my daughter has pre k M/W/F and I'd like to be able to put in things just for those days. Also the weekly routines I'd like to be able to set specific days. Like Sunday is garbage day but I don't want it showing up everyday of the week.
Impressed

I rarely purchase apps, and I believe that this app is worth the exception. I thoroughly enjoy the functionality of scheduling routines and tasks as well as the intuitive and easy navigation. This all is perfectly suited for a variety of users and hope to see the developer expand the marketing of the product to a wider audience. Not only am I able to plan and organize my home life but the flexible scheduling options suit my work needs as well.
