Tody

Used this app for years and paid for premium and it gets the job done but still lacks some basic features like a search function. Becoming more and more difficult to get around needing a search function. Have requested the feature several times over the years and always get the same, well think about it answer but the devs just will not prioritize an easy way to find tasks. Have to manually open and scroll through every room/area and read each tasks in long lists in each area to find one. Waste so much time trying to find specific tasks especially if u don’t remember which area it’s assigned to. So tedious. O If u have same task for multiple rooms no way to mark them all done easily by searching for them or assigning one task to multiple rooms etc. Fine if u only have a few chores, but gets much more frustrating if ur a power user or trying to use to track full home maintenance tasks and chores. NEEDS A SEARCH FUNCTION.

The app is excellent and the premium is a very fair price. Better than any other app I’ve tried for this. It doesn’t have a bunch of distractions or useless extra features that make it more difficult to use. The layout is intuitive and user-friendly. The suggested tasks and schedules are great if you don’t want to put your own list together but they also provide plenty of flexibility to personalize it as much as you need. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a feature that allowed you to rank the priority of tasks. For example, taking out the trash could be labeled high priority so it ranks higher on the todo list than cleaning light switches even if they are “due” on the same day. Overall the app is definitely worth trying to see if it works for you.

As someone who’s busy and stressed 90% of the time, this app has saved my house. Being able to set intervals for cleaning so everything doesn’t need done on one single day has kept my house clean consistently for the first time EVER!!! I struggle with my mental health quite a bit, so cleaning is always such a chore. I usually put it off until everything is completely dirty, then try to clean everything all at once, which is very overwhelming. Tody has made it possible for me to clean and KEEP clean and not be completely overwhelmed. I couldn’t recommend this app enough!!!

Update: It seems as though the devs have taken my suggestion and implemented it in a way with personalized lists of tasks you select. I’m not a huge fan of the way they did it with a timer and pausing/resetting. Just a simple list would’ve been fine. But it functions the same way I suppose. Unfortunately, even though this app would now be a 5-star due to doing most all that I require…the app is often broken. I open it and sometimes only get a black screen. Not sure what the issue is all of a sudden, but now and then I have this issue. Eventually it works, but it is quite annoying. Original: I love that now my husband and I are keeping track our cleaning chores and when they need to be done. Used to be we wouldn’t clean unless something was really nasty and needed cleaned, which left our house always looking gross and our guests probably grossed out. Not anymore! Though there is about an hour’s-worth of initial setup required, the way the chores are structured, the entire house will eventually be cleaned, but since each piece is staggered, you won’t feel overwhelmed. Just a few chores one day, a few the next. I do have a few gripes/suggestions however. One is minor: there are chores such as “dust (quick)” and “dust (thorough)”. If you decide you want to do both, you had best add them to your list at the same time and stay on top of their due dates in order for them to be synchronized. I wish there was some way to have them synchronize automatically if they are both on the list. Because mine weren’t, I ended up deleting the quick because I kept having the thorough come up like 2 days later. My second suggestion is for there to be a way to assign tasks to participants on a one-off basis. Like I know you can simply assign people to always be in charge of certain things. However, if you were to load up the list of things that need to be done for that day, there doesn’t seem to be a way to say “you do this and I’ll do that,” then get those things in a personalized task list so each person can go through and check them off. What this leads to is, if you have a lot of chores to get done in a weekend, you’re constantly reloading the full list, conferring with others in the household as to which ones everyone will be doing, then loading the full list again to find the tasks you did and mark them as done. That is just not efficient. One more thing...it shouldn’t be so expensive for multiple people in the same household to download this app. Like if you have 2 adults and 3 children participating, that’s a sizable investment. I think it should be that the first person to download is full price, then each subsequent download to join another household will have some sort of discount, like half off. My 2 cents. Still a great app and money well-spent for a couple in a small house with no kids at home (we have to do ALL the chores!!!).

Very good it helped her with my chores

This app is great because it helps you organize your house cleaning chores exactly how you want by room. It also has a character called “Dusty” that you race by completing tasks, which really helps me stay motivated and recognize when I am falling behind on housework.. before things get too out of hand. There is also a timer feature that you can set for even more motivation. If you have the paid version you can assign the timer to tasks- otherwise the free version just has a general timer. Overall I love the app!

I am a big iPad user. I use iPad in landscape mode most of the time because it is easier with keyboard and work with other apps. Would like to see the app supporting the landscape mode on iPad. Not having the landscape mode might cause too much inconvenience for me to use the app. Does anyone know if the app works in landscape mode on iPad?

This app is great.

I’ve tried many apps and this one is the only one that actually helps. It’s a joy. Well done and thank you!

Keeps my house from falling apart.
