Can’t manually order tasks.
CapybaraWrangler
I do really like this app. It helps me keep track of what needs to be done and prevents me from over-cleaning when something doesn’t need to be done yet. The features are simple and not overdone and it is intuitive to use. However, it is lacking one specific ability. While I can manually order the areas, I cannot manually order tasks within an area. When cleaning, tasks need to be completed in a certain order. For example, one always dusts the tops of cabinets first and vacuums last. This way one is not re-vacuuming cabinet dust that may fall on the floor after the floor has already been vacuumed. This app determines it’s own order of tasks and it is not in a good order. I have to try to hunt through the list of tasks to figure out what to do next and inevitably miss a task. I end up dusting the tops of cabinets after I have vacuumed and have to re-vacuum. I spend as much time managing the app as I do cleaning and find myself just not using the app because of this. I really want to use this app on a daily basis so I really, really hope the developers are able to make the task list be ordered manually .
Skip function?

I really like this app, and have been using it for years. Despite the fact, or perhaps especially because, I’m behind in everything. When it’s overwhelming, this helps me just get started. But I would love a “skip for a day” function. Sometimes, the thing at the top of my list is something I can’t do in the moment, and I’d love to move it from the top of my list, but not bury it by marking it done, or changing its status/frequency.
Do not hesitate, buy this app!!

I wasn’t sure about getting this because I didn’t want to pay for it, but it is soooo worth it. It’s life-changing!! I have five kids ages 5 months to 11 years, so our house is always a mess. This app has really motivated the kids to help out—-they love checking a task off the list once they complete it. We have been using Tody for a few months now and our house definitely stays cleaner. Highly, highly recommend!!
Wow

It helped to finally get onto paper (heh) the cleaning task list for the house. Then see when everything is due and what is due when. Originally I just kept a list in Reminders, it found it was going out of sync as I would it but by bit over the week, but then clear the entire list at week’s end... and then potentially work on an area I just worked on days ago. And then tasks in an area do have different needs: somethings you just have to do once every quarter, etc. One suggestion: can I have a Watch app that just lists and lets me check off today’s items ? ;)
Basic cleaning reminder

This would be better if you could create which tasks you want to do, instead of only being allowed to select from a drop box. I have specific things on my list that I cannot add because they’re not an option. It would be much better to be able to customize our cleaning schedule to what I personally want to do.
Great app

Downloaded this app because my husband and I needed a way to try to have transparent sharing of efforts around the house. He wasn’t aware how much I was doing “behind the scenes”. This app allows you to set goals/chores by ‘area’ of the house (I broke it up into individual rooms). You choose how often it needs done, the effort of each task, and you can assign it to an individual user (if you want). It has charts that break down what was done, when, and by whom. It’s great so far!
Brilliant concept, UX could be better
Mountaintosound
The overall concept is brilliant and is a game changer for thinking differently/approaching household tasks. Rather than chunk out by room or just spending more time less frequently cleaning, this app nudges you to clean more frequently, doing a few small tasks per day. So you gradually clean over the course of a week. Kind of revolutionary and I’m noticing it feels less daunting to clean, since you’re doing it all more gradually and actually staying more on top of it. With a general redesign visually and some UX improvements, this app would be incredible: - hide completed tasks - allow swipe gestures to actually clear/archive a task in one gesture rather than two - allow undue after completing a task - task status page is confusing (pause, skip back, forward?) - notifications with actual items or integrate with calendar would be massively helpful - the general clunkiness of the overall design and UX (feels like a Microsoft product from the early 00s)
Fantastic App with just one problem for me
VanSch25
This is a well thought out concept, and I enjoyed the interface. I liked seeing quickly which things needed my attention. I really only have a minor complaint or two, that may not bother anyone else depending on their psyche, but for me, while this app is overall in my opinion the better app, the one feature important to me is to organize where everything is on my list. Most of the time I’m half asleep in the morning, and exhausted in the evening. Having the list in order will help me do things with a smooth flow until I’m on autopilot. The tasks can’t be arranged to your chose order in this app. Where this app shines, and is better than the one I chose to keep is the ability to be super specific on time lines. You want it don’ every 17 days, you can set it. 9 months? 24 months? Things from inspections to last time you had your radiator flushed. This is an awesome app, and you should definitely give it a try if the order of what’s in your list doesn’t really matter for you.
