So helpful – Home Routines Review

Great app for managing reoccurring household tasks. It’s based on a popular zone approach to housekeeping where the house is broken up into zones and you rotate through the zones. There’s also a handy task list where you can set the frequency of reoccurrence and the tasks reset to “incomplete” according to your settings. For example, I have a weekday morning routine to tidy the bathroom before work. It takes 2 minutes, but then the bathroom always looks clean. I do a deeper clean on the weekend. The daily list resets each night and is ready for check-off each morning. The weekly deeper cleaning list shows up on Saturday and resets on Monday. I also have the bathroom on my zone list so that it comes up every 7 weeks for the extra detailed items that aren’t necessary every day or even every week. The interface is easy to work with and understand, and it’s aesthetically pleasing. Solid app and a good value for the price since I use it daily. I would give it 5 stars if there were more flexibility with the zones. You are limited to a maximum of 7. A previous reviewer mentioned a seasonal toggle. That’s an interesting idea, and I can see what it would be helpful for many people. I work around it by having task lists that only show up in certain months. That works well for me. Nice app. Give it a try.
