Ratings and reviews

I've used the app's checklist feature for a while: it's basic, but helpful for someone like me who gets overwhelmed by housework easily. I recently started a free trial to try out some guided cleaning sessions and like them well enough that I will probably keep it. My only beef is that sometimes the app crashes mid cleaning and there's no easy way to get back to where you were. Ideally, it wouldn't crash at all, but bookmarks would be nice, especially for non app related pauses.

I like that you can customize tasks but when I can't get all jobs completed on a day, the next week the jobs will show up as all being due instead of showing the ones that you finished last week so you can start with the ones you didn't finish. There is a roll over option but it doesn't work. It sometimes repeats the same task on the same day and it will show some tasks as being rolled over but then other tasks disappear. I ended up using the printables, and couldn't get a refund for the app.

Unable to get support to reset password. I've checked all email inboxes, including junk, and it has not been sent. While admittedly, it's been ages since I used the app, it's completely useless now. I would even be willing to repurchase to get it back, but I can't do that either. Great response time here! Email sent awaiting reply for assistance. I sent an email to support on 11/29 NO RESPONSE. Resent 12/11. Waiting again.
