Poor customer service
Have emailed twice already about being charge for a subscription I didn’t want and no answer back…
No free option
The description gave the impression that there was a free option because it notes ‘pro’ involving a subscription. You have no option but to pay to access the service. $70 a year!
Pretty good
So far I have used the app only today and I like it. It’s been helpful and makes cleaning feel a bit like a fun game. I can leave it open, see the timer and cute animation and check off each task as I complete it. I like the ability to adjust the checklist as you go to add extra things that weren’t added to the list. I also love the ability to take a photo and have the list prepare itself and I don’t need to create my own list from scratch. I do wish I could take multiple photos of different angles of a room though.
A few things have bothered me so far - one is that when I finish a task and click complete, it pauses my Spotify which is annoying.
I also checked out the audio tracks within chorefriend and I couldn’t switch back to Spotify. I could pause the audio with some messing about but there’s no option to go back to having no audio playing in the app so when I exited to play Spotify it paused my cleaning timer and as soon as I went back into chorefriend it paused my Spotify so that was a bit annoying. Once I finished that list I restarted the app and it fixed the issue.
The last bug I’ve had is that if I finished cleaning a room and checked it off it shows as completed but when I went out of the app and came back in and it reopens my old checklist. As if I’m still going. The first time it happened I clicked finish again and now the same room is marked as done for today in my completed list and I can’t delete one.
Overall a good little app. Not sure if the novelty will wear off but it’s definitely helped me so far today. Could use a few tweaks but I like it so far.

Response from developer
Hey! Thank you so much for the detailed review. Great points and quick wins that I can definitely improve, especially the Spotify thing and the re-opening of the checklist after completing. Will attempt to integrate these changes into the next update.
Better than Marie Condo
Since using the app regularly I feel real calmness being at home and have friend over way more. Highly recommend
