Home Routines Classic

I downloaded this app years ago and I have used it on off for years. A few years down the line I came across the flylady method and I was able to set up the app more effectively. After a long break and having moved house I decided to set it up for my new space so I could start using it again. I used a well known ai tool to make a routine for me specifically for this app. It helped me set up it up in a few minutes which I have never been able to do before, I have adhd and I can become engrossed with making lists and overcomplicated routines which are impossible to stick to. This app has everything you need to keep on top of your housework without becoming overwhelmed. I tend to overdo it and burn out but I was able to create a more realistic routine. I divided my daily routine into 3 chunks and set up reminders. I use the timer function so I pace myself instead of doing too much at once and burn myself out and I’m aiming to clean for no more than 2 hours a day so 40 minutes each. I find If I’m working against the clock I am more productive in how I use my time and work faster. I was honestly so surprised today how much I got done in one hour I have been frozen unable to initiate any task for three days now! If you have adhd you know what I’m talking about! I’m itching to keep going but it’s late in the evening and I really want to conserve this energy for tomorrow. I am really looking forward to the update!

Love the To Do list and the different zones. Feel it would be better if it also had a shopping list and meal planner option too though.

I have used this app for years and love it more and more with time. I love that the developers have continued to give it life as iOS updates. It’s so simple and so effective. I initially (16 years ago!) got into the fly lady method to keep my house from CHAOS and that’s somehow how I stumbled on this app. I have used multiple other to do lists over the years but nothing matches the (deceptively) simple way in which this gives me stars for accomplishments which I still need to motivate me to do the little things. And gives me simple tasks to keep the house in order. I accomplished 17 tasks today btw. Go me. So thank you Wunderbear. I don’t know who you are but you are the best!

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.

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.

I’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.

I just want an app where I open it up and today’s tasks are all there in a list to be checked off. In this app, everything is in different places, I don’t want it hidden behind morning jobs and evening jobs. It’s also really confusing to use - how do I add a biweekly task on top of daily tasks? The help page on the website is complicated and I cannot understand how to use the app at all. Really annoyed that I spent money on it. Don’t bother buying it.

I 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 !

This 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.

I 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.
