Love this appLove this app, but would like to see an update so that it displays properly on iPhone 5.Version: 2.0.3

This app could change your life!In conjunction with the flylady website, it changed mine. My house is now clean, tidy & fairly organised (and it never was any of these before). I'd highly recommend using this app in conjunction with the (free) fly lady system, but the app alone is fantastic. I've just discovered that you can even back it up online and email yourself everything so you can use it to start a control journal - they've really thought this through well. Highly recommend this app - totally changed my life for the better; probably the best money I've ever spent on...well, anything, actually :-).Version: 0

Nice and cleanLove this app would recommend it to anyone who wants to clean up the hose and set cleaning goals perfect for the organisational freak like myself :). Would be good to have a few more options in time like a bi monthly and yearly with a date option for all the little things we forget like change fridge filters but i have other ways of reminding myself for now..Version: 2.5.2

Possible AdditionsI LOVE this app! There are a few other things I would like to see. I would love to have a family account so we can keep checking things off for cooperation. Maybe a grocery list and calendar that can be shared as well so all members can see schedules so everyone is aware of the household needs. Definitely looking for an Apple Watch feature. It would be great to be able to start the timer and check off items that have been completed by me or other household members. I know it's asking a lot for such an awesome app but If I can get that, I'll be deleting a lot of other apps..Version: 3.2.2

Great for any type of housekeeperIf you are one who can’t seem to get it together with time management and keeping your house clean, this is the app to try. Simple and if you follow it, your house will stay clean with about 15 mins per day. If you are a neat freak this can be ramped up to what ever level you want. I used it for a long time and it I love it. Good job..Version: 3.3.4

Great home appThis app is great for breaking down housework tasks into daily tasks. Featuring one room a day for in depth tasks and daily maintenance tasks for whole house. The only improvement I would like to see is a synching between devices in one household. So everyone could see what needed doing and what had been done. Maybe even a task assignment feature for individuals in the house..Version: 2.5.3

CleaNZHelps the theory of being organised become practice. What a treat to be living in the calm of a tidied house..Version: 0

Best housework App.Whenever I use this app I always manage to get the work done with plenty of time to spare. When I do not use the App then nothing seems to get done. For some reason I can concentrate on the job in hand and not try to do all the rooms in the house in a day which is what I would normally do hence nothing gets done.Version: 3.2.2

JulesI really love this app, at last something for the professional homemaker. So much is out there for the working woman, but nothing for the working mother at home, until now, this app keeps you on track throughout your day. Although I would have liked to been able to change the room headings as I don't have a staircase and couldn't change it to piano room. But other than that fantastic!.Version: 2.5.2

Love this app!This app has been very helpful. I've always fallen off the flylady wagon. I love her essays and concepts but once I log on and read emails I can't be bothered to take action. I went searching for an app that gave me the same inspiration on the go! Thank you. And FYI I don't work for the developers nor do I know them. I am a busy mum with 2 kids, a full-time job, and a family business in Brisbane Australia. This app has helped me a lot..Version: 0

Great appI love this app. It is so easy to use and I love that I can use it from iPhone iMac or iPad on the same account. Love being able to stay organized and keep up with everything so easily. One thing I would like to see is routines that can be set up at specified (uncommon) intervals. Like change air filter in heater/AC unit every 3 months. Or kids clean bedroom on 1st weekend of every month and clean desk on the 3rd weekend of each month, etc..Version: 3.2.2

Love itCan't believe something so simple would motivate me. Love the 15 min timer I actually found I can achieve so much in so little time. Only a couple of things I have on my wish list - the ability to reminder with reoccurring dates eg fortnightly/monthly/ six monthly and a badge to remind me that there are things to be done or else I won't use it ! Thanks.Version: 0

Love how versatile this app can be!I have customized this app for so many different life organization needs, from cleaning routines to self care checklists to supplement/vitamin schedules. I love how organized it keeps me & how versatile it is! Many of my favorite apps have been disappearing, so I really hope this one will continue to be reliable and supported!.Version: 3.8.0

Game changer on keeping me focusedI am a long time user of the app, and have customized my routines a bunch! Currently when chaotic family demands distract me. I just open the app and see what my next task is. I put in a few easy tasks so I can get stars! I also put in a few tasks that I assign to my kids as chores, but I love checking the star when the job is completed! Great App!.Version: 3.6.4

Best.APP.Ever!This is the app I have been looking for to marry to my FlyLady routines! This app is perfect! I love how easy it is to adapt to my lifestyle, and is so easy to use. I carry it with me all day long..Version: 2.5

Constant companion!I love this app, and use it everyday to organise myself. Like others I would like to be able to set tasks monthly, 3 monthly etc. I have for around this by making a 3 monthly category, but would to be able to reset the stars 3 monthly. Instead I just work my way through the list, clear the stars and start again..Version: 2.0.3

I love this app!I've used the flylady system for a couple of years now and this is it in a really concise and simple format. I love that you can customize it to fit your own zones. Perfect!.Version: 3.0.2

Keeps me focused!Can’t say enough good things about this app. Helps me to keep the house cleaning manageable without being overwhelmed. The bite-sized tasks make cleaning and tidying a breeze. Love that I can add tasks such as Sundays - get work clothes laid out, meal prep for lunches, etc. Very motivating and satisfying having the ability to check off accomplishments..Version: 3.7.3

Great app!This app is fabulous for keeping track of what's been done and what needs to be done. I'd like to see the ability to make lists/set reminders for things that happen once a week/fortnight for eg a reminder for trash collection day, or in our case fortnightly recycling. Other than that it's great!.Version: 3.0.2

BEST HOME ORGANISING APPI'm so happy with this app - I set it up with the routine and all my little to do lists so that every day the home and family are taken care of and the work is done! Effortlessly staying on top of everything and there is never a back log of work. It's a great way to stay motivated and accomplish the days tasks with a sense of pride :) highly recommend!.Version: 1.8.2

Keeps me organized, great supportI have been using this app for several years to keep organized, and I love it. I’ve made several lists for the different responsibilities in my life and use them to set goals and stay focused. When I recently had trouble saving changes to my “To Do” list, I contacted the app makers, and “Tim” was able to help solve the problem..Version: 3.3.2

Use it all day longI have used other apps but have settled on this one for its simplicity and other features. I have used this now exclusively for years (daily). It makes my little OCD brain happy! And as I have gotten a BIT older it is a good way of not having to remember all the things I need to do. It is the first app I hit in the morning to plan out my day, and the last.Version: 3.6.4

To Do List App of Choice for mums but need 2-,3-weekly, monthly cyclesI use this app over Omnifocus and Apple's native apps to track and tick off what I need to focus on in a day in my home. It's simple and geared to tracking the banal housework (and personal maintenance tasks e.g. exercise, weekend grooming) where other apps just end up collecting an overwhelming backlog of a list - the daily, weekly, and zone star reset system avoids this. It makes me feel less flustered with all the things I have to do - as because it's a routine, tasks that need doing are not a surprise. I can also just let other stuff go easier. I'm doing more and deeper cleaning now - not sure if that's a good thing but I get satisfaction from it! Definitely needs fortnightly and seasonal cycles e.g. change winter/summer doonas, prune roses, clean out kids drawers of clothing that doesn't fit etc..Version: 2.0.3

A Guide for AspergersI really enjoy this app but at the beginning I found it difficult to manage the use with how I might manage my day with it. I've had this app for a year but I've developed this idea for people who have issues with Executive Functions. I'm going to be telling a group I created on Facebook so that others can understand this great app better and use it in its most effective fashion. Two days into my idea and I feel great about myself and this app!.Version: 2.0.3

Love This AppAs a busy working mother, this app is exactly what I need to help me to stay organised and on top of the household chores. I love that I can add recurring reminders like bin night and lunch order day :).Version: 3.2.2

Quite handyHave had this app a while and refer to it weekly to keep me on top of my zone cleaning. Better than fly lady emails as phone is always to hand to see where I am up to. Disappointing that for the amount of people asking to be able to set quarterly/yearly tasks that nothing has been done yet. I need to wash linen every 3 weeks (dust mite cycle) but don't have that ability on this app, which would have been helpful. Need another app for those reminders! Would also be good to be able to set a couple reminders throughout day rather than one a day (eg. could set "wash dark clothes" in morning and "put out recycling" in p.m or something). Would give 5 stars if it had more reminders and time frame capabilities..Version: 2.0.2

Almost perfect little habit appLove checking off the stars each day to reinforce my habits and routines! The best thing about this app is how simple it is, yet so customizable. The only thing this app is missing is an overview of the past month and beyond. Would love to be able to call up a summary of my performance in a past time frame to get positive reinforcement showing how I’ve been doing on a certain task. The accomplishments part could really be developed further for this!.Version: 3.3.1

Awesome app-.Version: 1.8.3

Great tool for busy mumsAs a Flybaby living in Australia I love this app. 1) we can get it and 2) it is brilliant to use on the phone. Love how it sets daily and weekly tasks but like others would like to have monthly, biannual and seasonal options. Also to have the to do list cleared when marked off. But other then that it is great I pick it up in the morning and cross off my morning routine, see what still needs to be done and it jogs my memory. Also great when sitting there at school pick up to review the to do list and what you need to get done in the afternoon on my afternoon list and finally before I relax at night a quick check to see if I have forgotten anything (which I usually have) on my evening routine. Would give 5 stars if it had extra frequencies and the to do list cleared. (I would even pay a small amount for them as an extras package)..Version: 2.0.3

Love this appI love this app but I have one suggestion.... the ability to change the date for the today “to do list”. I’m not a fan of the “later” to do list. I wish we could put in our own dates for when we want to complete our tasks. Otherwise it’s awesome!.Version: 3.3.4

HomeroutinesI agree this is a terrific app but would be better with monthly and seasonal also. I would also like to be able to assign tasks to family members to make it easier to get things done..Version: 1.8.1

Great little app!!I’ve been using this app for several years! LOVE IT!! It’s effective and cute to boot. It just makes life so much easier to stay on top of all the little things – and bigger things :-) Makes it so simple to remember which month to flip my mattress, keep up with the daily/weekly chores and to unhook my garden hoses every fall. My house plants love it because now I don’t forget to water them or overwater them — one little star tells me if I need to do it or have already done it during the past two weeks. Thanks developers!.Version: 3.6.4

Best app ever!!!Love this keeps me on task and makes me smile when I see all my accomplishments. Try this you'll love it too!.Version: 3.1.0

Love this appI have been using this app for many years and really love how you can set up your routines morning, evening , afternoon. You can customize your repeating tasks and mark them off. The stars can clear daily if you choose and the timer function is so helpful too. Love love this app and am so grateful for it. I love the colour within the app the light blue and yellow are so pretty and pleasant as well. Thank you.Version: 3.7.2

Very useful appThis app is great! I find that it works very well for my housekeeping routine. I can schedule tasks for particular days of the week by putting them in the weekly tasks list - I just designate them "Monday morning - change sheets" etc. I was using zone cleaning previously so great to find an app that incorporates this..Version: 1.8.2

Almost Perfect ExceptI do love everything about the app. It is almost perfect except it does not have badges for the Home Screen Icon. The reminder is ok but sometimes you can miss the reminder notification, but the badges notification will remain on the icon until the app is opened. I will always use this app no matter what because IT IS GREAT, but a badge notification on the next update will make this a 5 star app for sure..Version: 3.6.3

Good appM'aide a gardé Le focus sur les taches ménagère.Version: 3.0.2

ExcellentThis is a great app. Simple, yet achieves its stated task very effectively. There are stacks of great to-do apps out there, but not many good ones that are geared to repetitive tasks such as daily chores. Great job, guys!.Version: 3.2.2

Love it!!!I have 2 children and moved in with my partner and his 2 children 9 months ago. We needed a much larger house to accomodate us all. I have struggled to get organised with the extra washing ironing and housework (I am a complete perfectionist) and completely run myself into the ground. I have tried many different todo lists and none have really worked. This is amazing you can have daily lists. I have broken chores down over the weekdays and keep my weekends free to enjoy with the kids. I use the app everyday and like the previous review the only amendment I would like to make is to show the last tlme a task was completed. If you like Flylady routines this works perfectly, your only little control journal on your phone!!.Version: 0

More zones please!I really like this app! I would like the ability to have as many or as few zones as I want. As a mom, I would also like to be able to assign different family members different tasks and zones. Then we could work on different zones at the same time!! I would definitely create a homework zone too!! Great work on this app!.Version: 2.5.1

Need Sync and Bacup Functionality.The concept behind this app is commendable. I stopped using Omnifocus as I lost few projects and did not have a backup. I would not put a lot of time into this app until the ability to sync with SyncDocs or a builtin http server is provided. I paid $4.99 for this 1.0.1 version just to post this comment and encourage the developer to provide SyncDocs functionality so that I could start using this app. I can see a lot of potential in this app ....Version: 0

Good appI have found this app very useful and especially for the kids I-touch for morning job lists. I also use it daily myself and find it motivating. Thank you! However like others would like fortnightly, monthly biannual and annual list ability. I would also like to be able to reset the to do list daily so that the items already checked off could be deleted daily and would love it to hold statistical information about previous days so you can look back over how many days you accomplished your goals or see if your improving. With these changes I'd give it 5 stars..Version: 2.0.2

AmazingThis is the best app I've ever seen. I use it constantly and have edited all the lists so they are all personal to me and my schedule. I have made lists that only come up on my work days because there's a totally different schedule and the app is so flexible it supports it amazingly. I took me a week to realize how versatile it was but now I would not be with out it. I have always struggled with routines and always try to do everything at once and after failing done nothing for two days but this really helps keep me balanced, and helps my prioritize so now with my new organized life I have more time for the important things like my daughter. Worth spending the time setting up all the lists and zones exceter. Love to say more but my car needs hovering. Thanks so much for the app!!!! M.x.Version: 2.0.3

Love it.This is a really workable app. I love the zones for cleaning, and that it's possible to edit them to suit your own home and routines. I use this all day (everyday now) and it's definitely working for me. I would like it to have the ability to organise seasonal and yearly chores as well. Then it would be really exceptional..Version: 2.0.2

Keeps getting betterLove this app and love the updates ... keep them coming! As for the app itself - It does exactly what it says it will and it does it fantastically. I would LOVE a way to track progress from the week & month. I know Flylady likes to wipe the slate clean and only focus on today, but I think that being able to review the week or month would encourage setting goals for the next week or month. Just a thought :) I’m also still hoping for an Apple Watch version. Thanks for continuing to make a great app even better!.Version: 3.3.4

Great little app- not just for housekeepingI use this app not only for keeping my home clean, but also for managing task lists I have every day: - Assigning time for homework and study - Remembering to complete daily/weekly tasks at work This app just needs to sync between devices, task delegating, and a list of all incomplete tasks, lists and zones for the day then it would be perfect..Version: 1.8.3

I Love This AppI bought Home Routines in an effort to find some way to push myself out of my pandemic inertia. I’m pretty responsive to a checklist so I hoped it would at least help motivate me to do basic tasks like clean the cat boxes and plan meals. But it’s done so much more. The interface is easy and it’s totally customizable. I’ve set up routines for every day and I’m sticking to them, getting more done, and feeling much more positive and productive. I’ve even started using the apps zone house cleaning system to get a little done every day. I’m very happy with Home Routines!.Version: 3.3.4

Love this appI started using this app with routines from The FlyLady about about 5 years ago. I have completely customized the content in the app for my life. I use it to keep my days on track and to remember to do everything on my list, including a kind of complicated medication routine. That said, the app is only as good as the user. 😁 I love that it’s so customizable!.Version: 3.3.1

Apple Watch!!!I just realized it’s been 3 years since you announced the Apple Watch app. I hope 2018 is the year we finally get it! The one feature I want in an Apple Watch app is to have a Watch face complication that shows my next item on my current routine. This way I will stay focused and not forget what I was doing! This would be a larger complication. For a smaller complication, seeing a circle progress bar with percentage completed of current routine. Can’t wait to see it!!!!!.Version: 3.3.4

LikeI've had this app a while now and use it most days. It has 5 stars from me for easy syncing and general ease of use. It's a big ask, but an improvement for me would be the ability to merge tasks lists. For example I have lists for Fridays Wednesdays and Mondays, I also have a morning routine list, so for at a glance convenience, It would be good if I could merge say, Friday and morning routine to create my day's to do list. I find this app particularly useful when using Siri, and I use it for everything from a morning routine to packing and Christmas lists..Version: 2.5.2

Yes! Finally!Happy (and tidy) house, happy me. Finally an app that translates my organisation wishes into a visual form, lovely layout and easy to read and use too. Thank you so much!.Version: 3.3.1

Best routine app I’ve foundI have had this app for a long time and though I still check out other apps occasionally, nothing beats this one. It is perfect for what I need. Really customisable, not rigid, not irritating..Version: 3.5.0

Great, only...I wish that there were more options for creating rotating schedules. There is the biweekly option, but my schedule repeats in two-week blocks. Having either the option to have things repeat on certain days of the week every 4 weeks, or the option to create 4 week schedules would solve this. Otherwise I like this app.Version: 2.5.2

Great!This app is amazing at planning and tracking all your different routines and tasks. I think it would be great to have a 'streak' tracker attached but I would have no idea how it could be implemented and it is still so very useful without it..Version: 3.2.2

Awesome!Love it!.Version: 1.8.3

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!.Version: 3.2.2

Useful toolGreat for chipping away at the household chores and recognising you achieved something. The timer function helps focus as well.Version: 3.3.4

Best housework appI have tried many many apps to organise getting my housework done , until I tried this one I thought I would never find what I was looking for , it’s easy to use , easy to set up !! the only part of it I don’t use is the zones part and I find as I work shifts I work better without including zones . I would highly recommend this app . I use it all the time as I like to be organised and marking a job as done is a great feeling I must say !.Version: 3.5.1

So helpfulGreat 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..Version: 3.3.4

Packed with featuresThe more I explore this app the cleverer it seems. It is packed with features - to-do lists, timers and reminders. Already I am establishing better habits in my household routines..Version: 3.2.2

Very user friendly & helpful.Do you have French version?.Version: 2.0.3

Love this!Love this!.Version: 2.0.2

GreatReally helps you keep on top of things. Took me about 20 mins to set it all up. Great app.Version: 3.2.2

Home routinesI love it, wish it was a bit easier to set up and personalize..Version: 2.5.3

Brilliant!Love this app. Great for fans of the Fly lady. You can customise it to your needs, but unlike some other home organisation apps, you don't have to spend ages setting it up as most of the tasks preset into it are ones most people will need to do. I even now use the to-do section for my regular to-do list (you know, the non cleaning one) as it is better than the one I have been using. Well worth the money. 5 stars!.Version: 0

Use it to get the kids movingI've recently added a separate list for the kids. They're 5 1/2 & 2 1/2. I turn on the timer for 10mins & we see how many jobs we can get throigh. Little jobs like re-stocking the toilet paper & packing away the books become a game. They're focused for 10mins then they can go & play in peace. It also promotes teamwork. ***Just a note. I've seen some reviews that say the timer can't be adjusted. It can. Just touch the clock instead of the time. ***.Version: 2.0.2

Love it!Maybe pricey for an app, but for the hours that goes in to putting together a control journal, this is fantastic! I love technology and having my control journal at my fingertips on my iphone is just what I was after! Highly recommended for flybabies!.Version: 0

Perfect!This is the perfect app for those who DON'T have all day to do housework. It helps you to break the big tasks into smaller, manageable, bite-sized chunks and do it a little bit at a time. Once you're in the swing of it, it's almost like your house is cleaning itself. I don't believe in being a slave to the housework; life's too short; but I also like a clean and clutter-free life. Perfect for people who are familiar with the FLYLady system of getting your housework done in 15 minutes a day. It even has a timer built in so you don't get carried away..Version: 2.0.3

Almost there...I've been using the app for a week now and there are many great features, however I would like more control over the scheduling of chores within the app. It would be useful to be able to set a recurring task for any amount of time, for example: every six months (changing batteries in the smoke detector, changing air filters for a furnace); once per year (hanging holiday lights). Also a seasonal chores would be helpful too: fall - clean gutters, caulk windows, check door seals, get chimney cleaned. Just total flexibility when it comes to setting a schedule for chores would be ideal..Version: 2.5.3

Home Routines - more than a to do list &Way better than having your mother-in-law nag you about your household organization. And almost as good as having your mum giving you a hand! Just need a monthly focus option it would be better than 10!.Version: 0

Love it ......butI really do love this app but I'm frustrated with the way the focus zones work. I have six zones and they change each week. The trouble is, zone five gets two days and zone six never occurs because there are only four weeks and a bit..Version: 3.2.2

Still love this app!I’ve been using this app for the better part of 10 years and it is seriously the most underrated to-do, routine app out there. I’ve downloaded many other apps and nothing compares to this one, I always end up coming back! It’s fully customizable, in ways I’m still discovering. The schedule which used to work for me no longer does so I deleted everything and started over, completely redoing all of my “routines”. The only thing I wish would be updated would be to have a smaller number of zones, as they only offer 5, 6, or 7 but that’s my only gripe. I don’t use the zones anymore because if that but have been able to figure out how to make my own “zones” just by adding many more routines that only show up as often as I want them to. Great app! I hope they continue to support it FOREVER! 😁.Version: 3.3.4

One of my most used appsSimple and straightforward. Does exactly what i need. With one of the iOS updates, my reminders are not always consistent, but I don't rely on that feature since I use the app so often without them. I haven't seen any updates for a while. I also like the fact that you can include Flylady zones without having to sort through the Flylady clutter. Straight to the point!.Version: 3.2.2

Just about perfectI bought this app years ago and after trying everything else (and I mean EVERYTHING) I just keep coming back to this one. It has everything I need presented clearly and simply without all the calendars, priorities, labels, and other complicated stuff that ends up making other apps difficult to use and, ultimately, a waste of time. I use it to keep track of recurring daily routines, weekly and monthly chores , and a running list of general To Do items. I use the zones a bit differently by using the name of each family member instead of a room name. When it's house cleaning day I can just click on that week's zone and see everything on the chores list for that week, all on one page, yet nicely separated by each person's individual responsibilities. Also, the To Do List just works. I would give this app 5 stars for that aspect alone. The only thing I don't love is the lack of customizable styles. The 5 or 6 options are all pretty hokey and outdated. But that's purely an aesthetic issue. Otherwise this app is the best one out there by far..Version: 3.2.2

Love itThis is the perfect app for getting things done!!!.Version: 2.5.2

MrsOI LOVE this app! I needed to be able to tick chores off a list or it just wouldn't get done. This app makes it easier to keep our house clean without neglecting my baby boy as I can do a little bit at a time and still keep track. I can work around the baby's naps and my husband's shifts. I also love how easy it is to set up and customise to my house. Like previous reviewers I would like to have the option of viewing the history of items completed. To make the app completely perfect for me, I'd like a section for meal planning for the following week which would sync to a shopping list. Sigh... Maybe that's wishful thinking! Overall the best app I've found and well worth the money.Version: 2.0.3

Very usefulExcellent app. Very useful to keep me on track even with a new baby in the house. Only wish is that daily routines could be customised for each day of the week. For example, I hoover on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and do laundry on Tuesday and Thursday so wish I could set different daily routines for each day of the week. Instead I have hoovering listed three times in the weekly list. Works but not ideal. Please consider. Thanks!.Version: 0

Everything I was looking for!I don't need to search anymore. I've finally found the app of my dreams! After giving birth to my first I felt quite overwhelmed with keeping the house tidy especially after starting my own business from home and studying via distance! This app has made me less stressed and so much more happier. Thank you.Version: 2.5.2

Best App to remind you of all your well-laid plansThis app will help you lay out what you want to get done on a regular basis and add it to a regular routine that you are prompted to check at your preferred moments. Best buy, been using it for years..Version: 3.6.4

Brilliant for flylady systemI've been using the flylady system for a while and this app works brilliantly with it - in fact it becomes the routine/zone part of your control journal. The online manual shows you how to download all your lists so I didn't even need to type them out again. The app is completely editable so you can make it suit your own routines. Particularly like the way you can choose how often tasks reset so my daily tasks reset daily, others weekly , and others manually. A brilliantly designed app which looks good and runs smoothly..Version: 2.0.3

Better than FlyLady!This app is fantastic! Organised the same way as FlyLady into zones, but this is clean, modern and free of all the endless self-promotion and babbling that made FlyLady an absolute nightmare. Easy to edit, simple interface and everything you need to keep your home from being a chaotic mess..Version: 3.3.4

Love this app but...This app is great for someone like me who really struggles to keep to routines. Recovering from depression this app is a great tool to keep me on track but I would like to be able to see my progress charted over time - for example this week you completed 60% of your morning routine. Also, it could ve even better if you could duplicate a routine every day but make minor changes according to day such as swapping a cleaning session for an ironing session on Wednesdays. I had to retype whole routine to change one thing for one day. But overall excellent and very useful app..Version: 0

A dream for organizingEven though there hasn’t been an update for a long time on this app it is still by far the best app for keeping your home organized. I sure hope the developers decide to revisit this app at some point- I would absolutely love a calendar feature added, but I’m happy too with it just as it is! So simple yet so effective!.Version: 3.3.4

Nice way to organizeIt is good for setting up routines. Things you do every day and checking it off when complete. Probably best used for learning routine rather than having every individual item (ie bedtime routine for child A rather than brush teeth, brush hair, bath etc) Really nice for smaller tasks like changing the kitchen scrubby - tasks that can get overlooked.Version: 3.1.0

A little rough around the edges but actually works!Yes it's not a beautiful app but you can edit the things you need to do each day/week/month and the rest is automatic. Housework is so tedious it's tempting to try and do everything in one day once a month to get it over with. But that does not a tidy house make! Because it's overwhelming to do it all in one day- so you put it off... The app helps you to remember what you've done and what you need to do, a little each day, so you can put your feet up without feeling guilty!.Version: 3.2.2

This app is my external brain!I use this app every day to help me get organised. I'm not an efficient person by nature; I'm a procrastinator, I get easily distracted, and I can't hold lots of things in mind at one time. So that's why I call this app my 'external brain'. With its help I can (1) plan my weekly chores – and program certain chores to repeat at various intervals (i.e. no need to write new lists every week) (2) add once-off tasks in a separate list, prioritising them according to urgency (today, this week, later) (3) tick off tasks as I go, and feel a sense of achievement. Plus, my phone is always with me, so my routine lists are always at hand. My favourite feature: programming weekly/fortnightly routines. That way it just resets itself each week. Awesome app. Thank you for creating this tool for people like me who need a bit of extra help getting organised!!.Version: 3.2.2

Get itHelped motivate me from a sloth to a domestic goddess - instead of feeling overwhelmed I can just focus on a task at a time and I love seeing them all add up! I need that reminder to feed the fish too!!.Version: 2.0.2

Almost perfectWonderful app. I feel completely in charge of what used to be so overwhelming. I'd love to see the ToDo section modified to enable reminders, and more categories than "Today" "Tomorrow" and "Later." The ability to modify these category titles and add my own categories in this section would make this app perfect. But it's truly almost perfect now..Version: 3.2.2

Handy and easy to use!Designed to keep me on top of my housework rather than the other way around. Brilliant!.Version: 2.0.3

Best home routine cleaningI try some tasks manager but this one is my best for cleaning house..Version: 2.5.3

My favourite appI adore this app! It helps me so much. I have ADHD and without this I would get nothing done. Please add an app for the Apple Watch as well, that would be phenomenal!.Version: 3.5.1

Wonderful appThis app works just the way I wanted it to: it came pre-filled with morning, evening and zone cleaning routines for inspiration, and was easy and intuitive to modify to suit my situation. I particularly love the "15 minutes" button available on each list and the triumphant music it plays when the time is up! I have tried to get set up with the FlyLady system several times, but I think that this will be the way that I finally succeed - today I enjoyed doing my housework and earning stars for it. I'm a fan of the game "The Sims", and this app made getting my own tasks done as much fun as getting my 'Sim' to do hers!.Version: 0

Great way to stay organized and to make sure you don't forget anything!It would be nice to be able to play your music through the app while you're cleaning..Version: 2.0.3

Love this app!I have been using this app for quite some time. This is an excellent task manager with a lot of of added niceties like the timer and the lovely feedback. The developer put in a lot of ways for users to make this app truly workable for any situation. A little upfront effort on my part has resulted in a complete system for my projects and routines. This is better than most task managers including iOS Reminder and Microsoft To Do. Heartfelt Thank You to Wunderbear!.Version: 3.7.3

Very good for chores and moreThis app allows me to keep track of what I have to do on a daily, weekly and (almost) monthly basis, without filling up my calendar. I customized it to fit with my own version of the FlyLady method, tweaked the zones to my taste, and here I go. *** The alarm sound is deliciously wicked..Version: 3.2.2

Best app EVER!!!I love it and use it everyday, been using it for two months. I highly recommend this app for any busy mom who needs to keep herself organized..Version: 2.0.3

Excellent App!With the latest update this app is perfect for managing every routine I have. You can set lists to just appear on one month a year (and which days in that month), great for reminders to prune the trees and tune the piano! Also keeps you up to date week by week. Fully customizable, so perfect for everyone..Version: 2.5.1

Brilliant appAbsolutely brilliant!.Version: 3.3.1

Absolutely Fantastic AppReally beautifully made app, very well thought out, and I love the clear well designed user interface. And it packs a lot of function in - you can make your cleaning routines as simple or in depth as you like, with tasks even able to be assigned to show in specific months. I don’t normally pay for apps but I am glad I bought this one, it has been invaluable! I would like to be able to use all 7 zones in consecutive weeks, and not have it cut off after a month, so hopefully this will be possible in the future, as it is a while since they have released an update..Version: 3.3.4

Great applicationLove it. Helps organise my routines and household. So much better than the paper base system I was using. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would love the ability to add "seasonal" tasks. That is just a personal thing. Apart from that it is fantastic and I use it every day. Great for busy families to help get the jobs done..Version:

Fantastic Time Saver!Cannot praise this app highly enough! So simple, yet such a benefit to my organization and time management! It involved a small investment of time to set up, but it saves me the hours of frustration I used to spend compensating when I forgot to do some vital thing! Only one thing would make this app better, and that would be if opening a partially completed list automatically scrolled to the next undone list element, rather than requiring scrolling manually through completed items to find the one or two that still need doing. HomeRoutines is highly recommended. Don’t hesitate - download this one today!.Version: 3.6.1

Great for FLYbabiesThis ap is just what flybabies have been asking for. Thank you for listening. Keep it simple. Use this ap for routines & zones. I use something else for my master task lists (which are mostly non- housekeeping anyway). I just love the way this fits into my FLYing system. Thanks. One request - different chime options for the built in timer would be great..Version: 0

Amazing app!!I adore this app. It works with many systems (flylady, S.H.E, etc.) and is totally customizable so you can set it up for the way you work. Not just for cleaning either, I included routines for writing and meditation. Easy to use and the website has great support to help you get started. If your house is starting to look like an episode of "Hoarders" , you NEED this app..Version: 3.0.2

Great but could be betterI really like this app, but it would be even better if you could: -Customize individual days instead of having same routine for each day - share with another user and be able to assign tasks to individuals -be able to set up monthly tasks/zones as well as weekly and daily -be able to put a start time to each task ie: 4:30pm Cook supper.Version: 2.0.3

Loving it so far!This is so customizable - I can make it completely my own. Would LOVE the ability to attach pictures. For instance - tidy up craft room - it would be motivating for me to see the picture of my untidy craft room. Also with pictures you can keeps words to a minimum because a picture says a thousand words :).Version: 3.0.2

Best Recurring To Do ListI have been using this app for years, and even though I’ve tried others, like always come back to this one. It is the simplest, easiest, and most effective recurring to do list I found. My only wish is that there was an app for the watch, so I didn’t have to always refer to my phone. That’s the only improvement I could recommend...Version: 3.6.4

I can only recommend this appBrilliant for organisation of keeping to your daily routine. It adapts to your needs and rewards you with a gold star... I've always wanted to be rewarded for doing housework :) . On a serious note, it is an app which becomes part of your life and helps you to organise everyday tasks. I would like to see an advanced view on the week as I like to organise my time and know what is coming my way. Try it out and see for yourself, this app has made my life easier and saves me time by not having to think and procrastinate..Version: 2.0.2

Most user-friendly and Best treatment for ADDI have used this app on and off for several years. I have always looked for newer and better apps, but Home Routines has been exactly what I need to organize a monthly schedule of cleaning and chores using the Zones utility. Also, if you have ever used this app but left because there were not enough options to manage the various areas of your life, from work to one off tasks to projects to keeping my household in order. AND, it has been something I have grown to love as it helps me see what I have accomplished in a day, week, month, etc. That is very critical to my health due to the levels of anxiety I experience on days my ADD is raging and my mind won't slow down long enough to complete a single task. With this app, I can SEE what I've done every day, plan my day, my week, etc. so that I can stay on task and have a guide to come back to when I have gotten distracted causing me to have multiple tasks unfinished and/or in progress. Love this app. Sticking with it. :) The changes over the last year have been exactly what I earlier thought was lacking !!! Awesome app..Version: 3.2.2

MumI can't recommend this app enough to anyone "in charge" of running a household. With two kids under three I found it a stressful challenge getting through the days trying to remember what needed to get done. I would often feel overwhelmed, frustrated by the feeling of forgetting which job I was in the middle of and disappointed at the end of the day when I felt like I had achieved nothing. Now I've got a "daily", "monthly" and a list of tasks for different days of the week. When I wake up each morning I don't have to try and remember what needs to get done, this app tells me! And I just tick off each item as it gets done. I love looking at the accomplishments at the end of the day and realizing how much I really do get done in a day (especially if I don't feel like I've done much). And having them automatically reset is perfect. Improvements - I'd love to be able to see my work history and also have different frequencies (fortnightly, seasonally, annually etc). But overall this app has saved my sanity and improved my health (I've even got "eat fruit" in my daily list of things to do)..Version: 2.0.3

Excellent app!This is an excellent app, however it really needs the ability to prioritise and move things about a bit. I foresee this as having a major impact on the way I have previously approached my chores...Ty for great app. I'm looking forward to seeing suggested updates as viewed in many of the posted reviews..Version: 0

Use this app most daysThis helps me to stay on top of domestic chores. My in-laws are coming tomorrow and there is no frantic all-day cleaning, just the normal routine as my house is now actually clean! Remarkable. I also use it to remind me to take care of myself - like moisturise my legs as it usually is so low on other lists of priorities (I have 2 young children and work as well). Improved my domestic life..Version: 2.5.2

I can’t function without this appI love this app, have been using its predecessor for years and nearly lost my mind when it became deactivated and I didn’t know they just created a new app, would have appreciated a head’s up but so happy they didn’t scrap this app completely because this app is my brain. I cannot function without this app! I use this app for everything, not just home routines. I use it for my business, my training and also my studying, it’s the best app to keep track of repetitive to do list’s that just resets after a nominated period without you having to rewrite the same task over and over again. This new app seems exactly the same as it’s predecessor, I would have liked to see the ability to add more sub categories and also a quarterly reset for those tasks that have to be done every 3 months, but I love it all the same, I would be lost without it..Version: 3.5.3

Totally brilliant!I love this app! My house has never been so tidy or clean!.Version: 3.2.2

Anti CHAOSIf you're a flylady follower (or just someone who wants a tidy house) and you need a hand with knowing what needs doing on a daily basis, and to keep track of your focus zones, then this app will come in handy! If you've never heard of flylady and you are thinking of buying this app, I'd reccomend searching for her on google and taking a look at her ideas for keeping your house free of CHAOS ( or "Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome"). It will definitely help you to get the most out of HomeRoutines..Version: 1.8

Finally FLYing!This app is fabulous! I am able to arrange cleaning and other tasks that work for my unique household or keep the FLyLady system (this app is not by her, but made to go with her system). Online support, backup available, and excellent coding (I've never once had a glitch or loss of data in the several years I've used this app!)!.Version: 3.3.4

A life changerThis app has changed my life. As a chronic list maker (and list loser) this app has me so organized. If you use it “as-is”, it has a very complete home routine, and yet it is so easily customizable down to smallest details. I like the details arranged my way and spelled out, so I can run on auto-pilot without fear of forgetting. Frees my mind up for other things! Amazingly helpful and easy to use. I would give it more stars if I could..Version: 3.3.4

Great Organizational ToolI love the to-do list on this app. I don't have a separate list on a scrap of paper anymore since I can just refer to my HomeRoutines app. I read my book and sip coffee after the morning breakfast rush until I hear the reminder to get going on my morning routine. In the evening when I'm wiped out, it is nice to have a visual list instead of relying on my memory to get everything in order for the next day!.Version: 2.5.2

Love itBest home organization app ever. I only wish there was a feature to add extra lists beyond the to-do list. It would be nice to be able to put “go to grocery store” on the to-do list, and then have a separate shopping list without leaving the app, for example..Version: 3.3.1

Fantastic AppThis app is all it says it is and more. It's really powerful and easy to change things to suit you. Beautifully set out and I love the satisfaction I get from looking at my accomplishments. I have put this on the kids iPods as well and I no longer have to nag at them to do their jobs..Version: 0

Really very goodI usually end up trying to do everything in full deep clean mode when I set about the housework. All gets done but I ended up knackered with no time for anything else on a Sunday. This app has helped me focus on single tasks throughout the week which adds up to very little work required on a weekend. The 15 minute focus timer is a great motivator for speed cleaning! Wicked tool and well worth the money! A few minor additions / adjustments to custom options would make it even more perfect..Version: 0

Love itEasy to use and adapt to your chores. Initially I was disappointed that there is no log of what I've done from day to day. However, now I like that as each day is a new start and the real outcome I wanted was a tidier house. This stops me getting hung up on comparing days and rather I just focus on doing my best each day. Great app, thank you.Version: 2.0.2

Keeps me organizedThis is an awesome app I found years ago and I still use it faithfully. Keeps me organized in my chaotic life. Thanks.Version: 3.3.4

Useful, simple, powerful, I love itI have been using this app for years and it just gets better. Can set different tasks for specific days by setting up a list for each individual day and having it appear only on the relevant day. I use it also for work to keep track and give myself little rewards ( ie see the stars build up) for performing the tasks. Thanks do much Wunderbear.Version: 3.0.2

Still loving and using it!I’ve forgotten how long ago I bought this app but I still love it. It continues to work fine and is really easy to adapt to whatever cleaning routine you want to set up. I also love the todo list. If I wake up with my brain whirring with the amount to get through that day/week, I just list it all out and have the satisfaction of getting a star for each item I get through 😊 The look and the simplicity of this beats the others for me..Version: 3.6.4

Perfect Routine App!If you follow the FlyLady system, or just want to get started on having more structure with routines, this app is perfect! I've been using it for several years and have tried lots of other organization apps but this one beats them all! I love the 15 min timer, the reminders, and all the options for the types of schedules to create. I also love that you can sync it with other devices and am excited to get my family on board with using it!.Version: 3.2.2

Fantastic app (v 1.8)As some of the earlier reviews have suggested, there were several tweaks needed before this app really came into it's own - and thankfully with the new update, nearly everything I felt needed changing, was changed. In particular, having each entry be as long as you need it, rather than being forced to truncate. I also love that it has gone from 5 to (up to) 7 zones. Flylady in it's purest form can be hard to handle for some, and this way you can assign a day of the week as a 'zone' and keep house in a different way, not unlike our grandmas did with the whole 'Monday is wash day, Tuesday for errands' and so on. I've always preferred to cycle through most of the house weekly and do less but do it more often rather than only getting to an area every few weeks. Having more zones makes the system more flexible :) The only thing I would like to see is the ability to schedule monthly, seasonal and yearly tasks (ie, pick a date in the future and have it turn up in your task list on that date). That's the only thing stopping me from giving a 5 star rating :) Oh, and PLEASE don't wait so long between updates! HomeRoutines is one of the most useful apps on my iPhone and I'd love to see the 'seasonal tasks' function ASAP!.Version: 0

Love it !!!! Very useful for keeping your home clean on a scheduleBest app this year!!!.Version: 2.5.3

Great app for list addicts like me!!!I am always making lists for EVERYTHING!! So this app is great for me, i have all my daily things to remember to do on one list, my weekly cleaning tasks on another, and my monthly/spring clean jobs on the zones section. Its great for ticking off your jobs as you go so you can keep track of what you havent got round to doing yet. Great app, one of the very few ive actually paid for but worth the money, love it!.Version: 2.0.3

Great appThis app really helps me "do something today that your future self will thank you for." It also integrates the flylady zones and is customizable..Version: 3.0.2

FlyLady & Slob Sisters for the 21st CenturyIf you ever did, or currently do, FlyLady or SLOB Sisters, but you glitch at the (on paper, in a binder) Control Journal or Card File System- TRY THIS APP!!! 😊 Pam Young deletes -any- mention of this app on her site, because it is essentially the Card File System, only perfected. Apparently, helping people isn't as important as selling product. I grew up with Pam & Peggy on daytime television and QVC, so it's disappointing to see this sort of behaviour. My favorite part about this app is how it tallies up all the things you completed, and at the end of the day it says "__ tasks completed today!" Also love how if you finish all the things in a particular section, the star on the main page fills up. ​This app is Wonderful - Well worth the cost..Version: 3.2.2

Perfect!LOVE this app. It's great to keep track of all the daily chores I need to do. As well as set weekly ones ;) Keeps our home running smoothly ! Also great to set the timer, to see how long it takes to complete a chore. Then I try to 'better' it the next day ;) Happy I've spent $5 to buy this app. Extremely happy :).Version: 2.5

Best home organizer app!I have to say, I have purchased quite a few apps over the years, and this one meets my needs perfectly! I have gotten more done in the past few days since downloading the app, than I have in quite some time. I work crazy hours and things just are left undone...I'm motivated to get this my household under control. I already feel better.!.Version: 3.2.2

In controlGreat app, very similar to fly lady ideas, with the help of this app and the fly lady website, I now control my house rather than it controlling me!.Version: 1.8.1

Brilliant app! Even better now I can sync between iPhone and iPad!What more can I say? This app is the bees knees! I have set u my FlyLady Control Journal in the app, I can send copies of my lists straight from the app to my FlyLady support group, I can send my accomplishments a the end of the day, you can see what you've done and achieved in 15 minute steps throughout the day and be proud of what you've done. Th only snag I found is that if you are too much a Perfectionist, then you'd want all this stars to get coloured in completely and you end up competing with yourself to get it done! Guess that's not such a bad thing? You may however get disappointed if you don't need to do a certain task and you cannot colour in your whole star for that task... Now what does FlyLady teach us about perfectionism?.Version: 2.0.2

WonderfulDoes exactly what it sets out to do. Works amazingly well with the repetitive tasks of house cleaning, and I'm so glad I don't need to be connected to the Internet to use it, although I can. The infinite ways of customizing your day is great. I have lists of gifts I have to make, work things that have to be done, friends I haven't seen in a while, as well as the home items..Version: 3.1.0

Good for establishing routines, could be better for planningI've been using this every day for two weeks now. For setting up routines and working on new habits it's very handy. I'd like to see a couple of features that would make it easier to plan my day though- first I'd like to be able to look at all today's tasks (as an option) in one place rather than having to click on a routine for details. Second I would like to be able to tag tasks in zones as the ones I want to tackle next (and ideally have only those show up in the complete list of today's tasks I asked for first)..Version: 3.1.0

Great little app for Flylady and also work organisationI love this app... Only discovered it today, and it is wonderful for setting up your Flylady morning and evening routines. I also think it's also the best task management system I've seen for setting up simple daily and weekly work repeating tasks, which automatically clear/reset at 3am if you choose... so not "just" for Flylady fans... And the gold star reward system is a lovely touch. Well worth the £2.99. Thanks!.Version: 3.1.0

Flylady-Friendly and Truly Helpful!There are lots of great reviews here so I only wanted to add that if you are a fan of the Flylady, this app is an absolute dream. It's basically the ideal 'control journal' - it provides guidance with an awesome basic framework that is extremely organized and clear, yet can also be completely customized; you'll always have with you; and you can back it up! I really appreciate the developers creating (and maintaining) such a thoughtfully-designed app. Thank you!.Version: 3.5.2

Almost perfect....I really like this app and have been using it on and off for years. My only complaint is I would like the ability to have 7 zones rotate over 7 weeks. I have a large home with lots of people and would like to focus on one zone per week for thorough cleanings. I can do that manually, but it's kind of annoying to never have the right zone show up. Change that and I would definitely use it every day. I keep looking for a better system, but so far this one comes the closest....but please consider adding that feature if possible!!!.Version: 3.2.2

Love it!As a chronically disorganized person, I've struggled with how to keep up. This allows me to decide what to do, when to do it, and gives me a tool to exert control over my home. Just the cues and timer (love that music!) are great, but the lists that reset, zones, reminders etc are even better. This is flylady friendly, but even better. Have been using it forever, still haven't found anything better....Version: 3.2.2

Household Chore Organization Made Simple!I’ve tried (and deleted) NUMEROUS apps supposedly designed to help me keep up with what needs to be done around the house. THIS ONE STANDS OUT ABOVE THE CROWD! I’m technology challenged and this app is simple to navigate and organize my chores. No “cookie cutter” lists to choose from. You can totally personalize your lists and schedules to your needs. Try it, you’ll be surprised at how much easier it will be to get things done once you organize your personal list of tasks..Version: 3.6.4

WonderfulLove, love, love this app. It covers way more than I expected, is super easy and intuitive to use and the pre-filled info is really useful..Version: 3.0.2

Honestly the best organization appThere is no other, no better app than this one for organizing my day. This is an awesome app that is making my complicated life smooth and simple!.Version: 2.0.3

Just superI absolutely love this app. It's so customizable! Although it takes a bit of time to get all the various parts of it set up, you can totally make it fit your life perfectly. Best app purchase ever..Version: 3.0.2

Love itI've only had the app one day and already love it! I never spend money on apps but this was worth it! With two kids it is so easy to loose focus but this helps keep mom brain at bay😆 the one thing I have noticed that I wish I could change is the timer. Some tasks take longer than 15 mins so it would be nice to change that. I do love how you can change the titles and tasks your needs..Version: 3.2.2

Love itThis is a really useful app - fantastic for repeating tasks - have not found anything better for that Love the fanfare sound on the timer (if you choose to use it). Makes me fee I’ve climbed Everest! Very motivating. One suggestion for developers- a list that resets when you have completed it..Version: 3.5.1

A 'must have' app for those who love being organised!For all important 'stuff' I only have apps that sync, so I know my info and lists are safe, either saved on my laptop or iCloud. I use this app for lots of titled lists that I have added below Morning/Weekly/Evening lists. They are Christmas chores, food shop, decor etc and usual ones such as General, My Work, Garden, Clothes & Accessories (to buy!), Friends & Family (to visit and when I last saw them), Places to visit for day trips...you get the idea! I keep the TO DO lists for more important 'general anything' chores. Eventually I will add all my general house clean/tidy chores to the schedules. I have asked the makers of this app if we can one day have different colour stars for different members of the family so they can either be assigned tasks or tasks can show who actually did them. They got back to me quickly with a friendly reply..Version: 2.0.2

Love it!!!!!!Only had this today and I love it! Wish I found this sooner. I have been trying to make the flylady thing work, but I can't be bothered with all the emails. I have been wishing flylady would make an app and now I have found one just like it. Thank you so much for creating this. Just what I needed..Version: 2.0.2

Great app!I love (almost) everything about this app! User friendly and I enjoy how it is laid out. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 star is there needs to be a seasonal section for annual/semi-annual/quarterly tasks. That would make this app PERFECT. The other thing is more a want than a need, but I would love the ability to either add my own background or have the option of purchasing other ones. I like to switch my background with the seasons and these are all either very plain or summery. Overall though, this app is wonderful and I use it daily..Version: 3.5.3

Awesome with one flawI’m definitely enjoying this app. I like that I can make as many lists as I want and create a schedule for myself. It’s a great guide to remind you of all those little things you forget to do. I got the app because of its “focus zones”built in. Basically you set up a schedule to clean specific rooms in the house on a schedule. You can have up to 7 focus zones, choosing to switch zones daily, weekly, or manually. If you choose weekly, it automatically resets to zone 1 on the first of the month, which means you’ll never get to zone 6 or 7. Even zone 5 lasts only a day or so depending on the day it switches. I wish it could change weeks automatically after cycling through 7 weeks instead of just the month. I have to choose manually to have it cycle through all 7 zones. But even with this glitch I think it’s worth it! I really like it!.Version: 3.3.1

Great helper!This is great for breaking down the tasks and making it all seem less overwhelming! I too would like to see seasonal tasks - monthly, quarterly, yearly- being added. I would also love to have the ability to change the tasks from zone to zone and change the zone order..Version: 3.1.0

Nearly perfect.One thing I love about this app is it is not too complicated. The interface is simple and intuitive, and it doesn’t try to be too much. That said, I really do need them to add quarterly and yearly routine functionality. They have all of the smaller routine functionality from mornings to days to weeks to months. It would be so simple for them to just add quarterly and yearly. Please consider it!.Version: 3.5.0

Great app!Love this app - I have morning, evening, weekly & monthly routines set up to help me manage my household..Version: 3.3.1

Just what’s needed!Who needs photos and pretty incentives? This app does exactly what is needed to get organised and is easy to adapt to my routines. I’ve used it for many years. I started by setting up Flylady’s schedule, then adapting it as I wanted. The kids are on it and we can all see the jobs that need doing as well as our individual lists. The developer is helpful and quickly responds to questions..Version: 3.7.3

Easy to use and motivationalI have been using this app for a couple of weeks and am finding it quite motivational. It is worth being pessimistic about how much time you really have each day, because once you have your morning, evening and weekly routines, plus your focus zone, suddenly you have a lot to do each day! The only real improvement I would like would be the ability to combine the day's tasks into one at-a-glance list, rather than having to check each list in turn to see what you still have to do. But this really is a well-designed and easy to use app..Version: 2.5.2

Most used app I haveI love this app. It's great for establishing routines - the first few days I check it constantly, then gradually I find that I've already done most of the jobs I've set myself before I even check it. I've just rediscovered it again and I had forgotten how easy to use it is and how flexible it can be. This time around I've used most of the lists as they are and hardly changed anything - so quick to get going. Brilliant!.Version: 3.2.2

Thank you from a happy customerThis is THE. BEST. APP. EVER. I had tried to set up something similar manually as this is exactly how I work and then I found this. It took a little while to set up but it is very easy to use and it has simplified my life greatly by automating and keeping track of everything I do. I recommend it highly..Version: 3.2.2

Exactly what I need!This is a great app and works whether or not you are into FlyLady. You can fully customise all your household routines and move around the tasks until you're happy with it. The built-in 15 minute timer is a very nice inclusion, and it keeps on counting down when your iPod turns off. However, it didn't turn back on for the fanfare. I may have to adjust my iPod settings for this to work properly. Would be good to listen to motivating music while doing the routines. Anyway, great app and glad I got it!.Version: 0

I love itIt's fantastic I use it for everything as well as house cleaning ;) it fab for organising my self with what I have to do by the end of the morning avo and what I need to do for next day so things dont pile up;) with a 9 month old it helps to at least know how much could be done and how to best organise my day to atempt to acheave it;) one sugestions would be to have the abilty to add more zones so we can add own on top of cleaning;).Version: 0

Amazing App!!!!Omg! I love this App!!! It is perfect and so easy to sync between devices!!!!.Version: 3.1.0

Excellent App - must buyThis application is worth every cent!!! I'm an organised person, but this application took me to a new level!!! It has really helped to me focus on zones - meaning I don't keep putting off a tidy up or clean in a certain area. My entire house has never looked better. The timer has really helped me get things into perspective. It has a 15 minute timer - and you will not believe how much you can achieve in such a short period of time!!! I was surprised. I'd often put off doing dishes or other jobs because the procrastinating part of my brain would tell me it would take too long!!! The reality is that jobs only take a fraction of the time to do!!! I would buy it all over again - NO regrets here....Version: 0

Love it!I have used many household apps but, in my opinion, this tops the lot. So easy to set up and the default tasks are really useful, they just needed a little tweaking. I have set up different task lists for each day of the week as our home routine tends to change, as well as setting up lists for each of my children. It was extremely easy using the 'copy task list' function, a very handy little shortcut. I just need to train them to tick off their tasks now!.Version: 2.5.2

It is my most favorite app!I do love this app - it helps me remember my daily and weekly routines and it works well with flylady. That is initially why I bought it because flylady routines really work for me and my household. It is a tad expensive but worth it. It could use some enhancements as others have mentioned but I honestly use it every single day. I love the stars, and so do my children!.Version: 1.8.3

HomeRoutineJust wonderful, it has really help me keep on top of household tasks. Thank you..Version: 1.8.3

The best todo app for houseworkI’ve tried so many different ways to try and stay on top of house work and this app is the best for me. It really is simple and easy to use and you can customise to fit to your own home and lifestyle. I especially like the accomplishments list. Great if you struggle with housework and need a bit of encouragement! You can have daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, summer, winter and annual house maintenance tasks as well as adding your own lists for projects or one off tasks. I’m using an older version (on my ancient iPad) so i can’t comment on the latest version but the app works well and is very stable. Needs free subscription to the website to work..Version: 3.6.4

Love it! Well done!I just downloaded this app and got it all set up. I transferred my manual index card system to it, and I love it so far. If your familiar with Fly lady, this app works perfectly with her system. I like this so much better than the Cozy app I have been using, because I can customize it much better to my own preferences. So far I've come across no glitches. One thing I don't see is how to mark tasks in a zone as occurring weekly, monthly or seasonally by zone. If this feature is there, I don't see it. It would be nice to keep a task within a zone but make it a weekly, monthly or seasonal occurrence. For example, I'd like to wash windows in a zone monthly, and clean the gutters seasonally. This feature would be so handy. Overall, I'm really loving this app and highly recommend it. It includes most everything I've been looking for in a home organization app. Well done!.Version: 3.2.2

Flylady-style cleaning finally works for me with this!Your app has been terrific. Just what a perfectionist, list-maker needs. Excellent!.Version: 3.0.2

WunderbarLove, love, love this app. I have been using it for a while and use it daily! And am still using it 5 years later, it seems, because it is so adaptable to my needs.Version: 3.2.2

The best org app everI’ve been using this app for years and it is the best of the many I’ve tried. The most flexible, configurable, the most complete - by far. I use it for one-off tasks, tasks that recur daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally. As I experiment with different ways of scheduling my life or as my needs change, this app adapts with me. Because of the easy categorization this app allows, I’ve even taken to using it to store info I want to refer back to on occasion, for planning, etc., making it a sort of life hub for me. It’s gradually supplanted several other apps I used to us, in various categories. I love having most everything in one place. There are a couple of glitchy behaviors with timers, notifications and syncing that pop up now and then but the value of this app dwarfs them..Version: 3.5.2

Great!I tried setting up chores in a GTD app and all it did was make me feel that I wasn't working hard enough as the fairly stringent scheduling didn't always fit with my days. This app makes me feel much better! I can schedule a routine so I know what I need to do, but can basically slot it in to any day or time that I have available and I don't feel nagged. Plus you get a list of all the things you did do, rather than the one's you didn't! I still use it in conjunction with Clean Freak though, because Clean Freak remembers when I did something. As you reset all your stars each day, there is no history on this app. I only want to remember the last time I did something though, not every time!.Version: 0

WowI felt a bit "housewifey" getting this to be honest but WOW!! I work nights and got stuck in today to make a good head start, I love that you can see the tasks going down and you actually realize how much you've got done, it's fab but I'm not settling for stars, at the end of each week I'll buy myself a treat when ALL jobs done, thank you for such a simple but effective app!! Xx.Version: 2.0.1

Excellent App for House Proud But Busy PeopleI have used this app for over 2 years as a full time working mum - this app helps me organise my daily - weekly - monthly & seasonal, housework chores and de cluttering - ticking jobs off helps me remember - it a working progress as I am always adding something else to it - although I'm not OCD - this app is my most used item and I feel I have a cleaner , more organised home with the help of this app - to me it was worth every penny - it syncs between my iPhone & iPad - which always me to organise chores & my family helping even if I'm not at home - I spit chores into 3 x daily tasks - weekly & monthly Spring Cleans & De clutter tasks - with patience this app is extremely adaptable - a bit time consuming in the beginning - but I still find myself adapting 2 years in.Version: 3.1.0

Our home has never been so clean!I'm still amazed that a $6 app can have such a huge and positive effect on our lives. My husband and I now have one spot to look to see what needs doing and can see what needs to be done in what timeframe. I don't have to ask for things to be done, because he wants to get the gold star! Would love to see a "spring clean" type list for those occasional jobs (with customisation for how many months between repeats) and also rotation/ipad sized view. Thank you for a great app. For those reading at home who want to know if they should buy this app, ask yourself "Is it worth the cost of a magazine to get the hosehild chorez organised?" A resounding "YES" from us!.Version: 0

Great app for the easily distractedLove this app. I needed something that would be able to reset every day with no shame for the stuff I didn’t accomplish the day before. I don’t want to be reminded that I didn’t make my bed the last 4 days! The only thing that would make this app better is a sound and haptic when a task is marked off. My little gerbil mind loves the reward of a nice “ding” and buzz..Version: 3.6.4

I’ve used this App for years.This is my favorite app for keeping me moving along with housework, appointments, vet/dogs meds, I’ve used this for years. I can edit the heck out of this app, and I love that. I have morning routines, midday routines (if I want), evening routines, daily to-do lists as needed during busy times. This is a very helpful app…with a timer too for motivation. I use this with kids, and now I’m older without kids at home…..still a helpful app for motivation and getting it done. It’s nice to check things off. Housework is so boring and this makes it more fun..Version: 3.8.1

Great butThis is a really great map, but it would be better if you could set a reminder for each task within a routine rather than for just the whole routine at once..Version: 3.1.0

So helpful, especially now.Like many people, I often find myself spending my days doing stuff but accomplishing very little during this period of quarantine. I’ve used HomeRoutines off and on for years, but have recently returned to it to help stay focused on the “important things.” I’ve added new routines for tasks like keeping in touch with distant family & friends and self-care. It gives me a sense of control and accomplishment to be able to check off items on my various lists during the day. Highly recommend it!.Version: 3.3.4

Easy, helpful appI love this app - it is really easy to use and keeps me on track. In line with others it would be good to be able to set monthly, quarterly tasks. Also I am using this in conjunction with the Flylady and the dates for the zones don't match. Would be great if you could choose whether you wanted to start your week on a Sat, Sun or Mon..Version: 3.1.0

PerfectLove this app. Does just what I need it to. Nicely customizable, and I love how it auto-resets each night, so you don't feel bad if something doesn't get done..Version: 3.1.0

Great easy to use app.Would be great to be able to monitor the children's use of their apps from my devices. Works well across devices..Version: 3.2.2

Love this appHave been using it myself for a while, but I’ve now put it on my husband’s device to coordinate housekeeping and errands..Version: 3.6.2

Unbelievably goodIn 20 years of having a house i've never managed to get the place organised, two weeks with this app and the place is looking halfway decent. I'm obviously a star-a-holic and its amazing how many you can tick off in each 15 minute burst. For all those procrastinators and attention junkies - this could change your lives.Version: 0

New updates make this better!!Just got the new upgrade and it is even better!! I love that the To Do list can be even further broken down so I can organise today & tommorrow To Do lists. The fact the stars can self-reset if you choose the option is fantastic. The one thing I would like to see added would be a Grocery list..Version: 0

Keeps me organised and prevents chaosThis app is fantastic, I can set tasks to compleat and the fab timer means I can achieve more than I thought I could in 15 mins. Ive got more of a routine and it keeps me motivated Setting zones prevents me neglecting areas in in house I would normally put off or forget about. The bad side is I would like to have a way to viewing a week in advance as I like I to kno in detail what I'm doing each day and plan ahead. I'd also like to be able to look back and see what I have done in the past week but can only see today or short reminders..Version: 2.0.2

Good, but priceyI really like this app! However, I agree that it's too expensive for what you get. I'd like to see the 'completed' stars re-set @ midnight for the daily tasks and at the end of the zone dates for the Focus Zone. We shouldn't have to clear the previous day's accomplishments. But if you're trying to establish routines and particularly if you're a FlyLady fan (FlyBaby), you'll love this..Version: 0

THIS IS MY DREAM APP!!I have been using this app since it was new — many, many years ago! It works so well and is perfectly customizable for your “repeaty” things. The graphics are beautiful and calming. I love that you get a star when you complete a task. I love that they still support it even though it has been around so long and that it is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription — & ad-free! Those things are so hard to find these days. I keep it in my dock so it is always accessible. My only request is a widget — I’m willing to buy an upgrade in order to get a widget!.Version: 3.6.3

Awesome app!Have used this since it came out. I love this app for keeping up on daily / weekly/ monthly /yearly items in my to do list. I love being able to copy a list and easily add it to a routine and it automatically makes it into a check list. I also like that you can access it from a PC. I use this with flylady zones (you can add you own personal areas to clean also). And I use it with Christmas organizing plans. Like Holiday Grand Plan, House and Holidays, and Organized Christmas. I also love that it has reminders and a 15min timer..Version: 3.2.2

Great for keeping home on track!Such a great way to juggle the complex elements that are part of your life as a domestic project manager and household engineer. Keeping your home and family organized, healthy, and on track is one of the hardest jobs on earth, but this app can help make it seem a whole lot easier and more fun. It’s been around for years, and it’s stable, user-friendly, and well-supported. The help feature is actually helpful. The updates aren’t flashy, but they are functional, and they help to get the job done. I highly recommend this app for anyone trying to get their home in order, and take back a little extra time for the fun things in life..Version: 3.3.4

At last!My house is finally a stress free zone. It surprised me how quickly my insurmountable workload became my routine and how little time that routine takes when it is something I don't have to think about..Version: 3.1.0

Invaluable for households with domestic blind spotsI saw this app recommended in an online discussion about how to keep on top of housework. We're a big household, busy, and not naturally tidy - we see the mess/chaos once it's built up and then don't know where to start; chipping away as we go along just doesn't come naturally to us. This app has enabled us to distil chores into everyday basics, weekly and fortnightly housework, etc. Now we just need to look at and work through our daily list. With a baby in the equation, we won't be sticking to it too religiously for a while, but it's the strongest starting point we've been at yet. It's great that my partner has the app on his phone too and we can each keep up with what needs doing, wherever we are/if the other is out/without needing to leave lists lying around. If I could work out how to allocate my own dates for different zones (three days for this, four for that, for example), I'd give it five stars. A genuinely helpful app when it comes to trying to run a vaguely orderly, clear and clean home..Version: 3.2.2

Wonderful!This app is so good- I have been a Flybaby on and off for years and never quite clicked with any way of designing my control journal or a system I would actually use....this app is just simple enough yet adaptable to me...I am thrilled with it, thank you. I hope you upgrade it for the iPad soon..Version: 0

Awesome AppAmazing app! It's so customisable, I have routines for each day of the week, as well as for the things that need to be done quarterly. I also have a personal routine to keep track of things like getting my 10,000 steps and taking medications, etc. I don't know how I survived before this app. I'm a single mum and a university student, and I could not keep on top of everything without this..Version: 2.5.2

Great appHave just started using this app and it's really great. Love the 15 minute timer and the Accomplishments for when I think I haven't gotten anything done! Would be great as others have said to be able to set irregular tasks like 'every 6 weeks' or 'every 3 months' but this might be in a later update..Version: 1.8.1

Lovin' ItVery useful app to help to establish routines. I have some suggestions to make this app perfect, if the developer would kindly consider, - Ability to generate charts or diagrams to track productivity, i.e.: finished tasks vs. undone tasks, or the frequency of a certain task done within a given time period (e.g.: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, all weekdays, all afternoons, etc.) - It'd be wonderful to sync with iCloud and calendar? - Ability to set an estimated time length for each task, and the timer to track efficiency, i.e.: actual time spent - An option to record daily notes.Version: 3.0.2

The best routine app out thereIt's easy to use, good to keep you on track as highly motivating. I like how it resets every day to help you start fresh each day. It is also great for Australians who can't download some American apps. A huge benefit being able to edit and access online and hence on the desktop. Well done to the developer..Version: 2.0.2

Perfect for meI have been use this app off and on, because I am an off and on type person, and this App is perfect for that! I like that I can customize, but lots of stuff is there already. it "resets" however often you want so it isn't like some reminder apps that keep telling you about something until you mark it off... or apps that eventually tell you everything is at critical mass if you didn't bother to look at the app for awhile. if I dont get to it today, I dont beat myself up... if I dont look at the app for a month, I am just starting new, not playing catch-up.Version: 3.3.1

So glad you are back!!I have been using this app for years. There is nothing else like it that I could find. This has all the features to make housework a no brainier. Just put music on, and tick off the list. I was too scared to ever delete it because you guys have been silent for so long. You have made my day!.Version: 3.3.1

Still Simply the best!Update: I still love this app and find its flexibility even more impressive as my needs and habits have changed over the years. I’ve been using it for years now-still the best. I've been using this app for a few months now, and it's proven to be especially helpful and useful. But surprise of all surprises---it's also so effective!! I'm not the most organized person around, nor am I an enthusiastic housekeeper, but I see a noticeable improvement in the cleanliness and appearance of my home since purchasing this app. The daily reminders keep me on track, and I keep tweaking and creating tasks to suit my home and rooms. I can narrow the tasks to "doable" chunks; otherwise I get overwhelmed and just give up. This app is easy to customize. Thanks..Version: 3.3.4

WootIt's like flylady without all those crazy annoying emails. It's clean, simple and organized. Perfect. There is room for improvement but it's pretty damn great..Version: 0

Good appLike this app, helps me to be motivated about doing housework. I work from home so my house needs to be neat and tidy all the time. Only problems,flexibility ... I would like to ba able to set particular chores to appear on certain days, or to be able to cross them off instead of star them if they are not relevant on that particular day. Creators please note ... needs a badge! I work best when I have a reminder to do something, please take this into consideration. It would be a 5 star favourite if it had this function!.Version: 0
