It will not work right

Just don’t like it I need something to use that works .

It’s ok

It’s frustrating to change frequency of a task, I can’t edit names of rooms etc. but it’s fine

Wonderful

I have severe ADHD and depression today this app help me get through my whole house in just a matter of a few hours. I cleaned up after all of my depression stuff, and it actually looks like a home now.

Clearly not finished yet

Just downloaded this today. I was really excited as I started playing with it. That was short-lived, however. There is no way I would pay for this app in its current state. The concept is great but the process of setting it up is frustrating. It doesn’t work very logically or smoothly. And it’s missing some obvious things, like: when I start the focus mode, I don’t want to see the last task first. Reordering can be done in the edit mode but that doesn’t stick. The list goes back to alphabetical order (why?), so every time I focus, I have to do the same reordering. And the focus timer is totally trial and error, but mostly error. My best-guess of how much time I needed was wrong, but the app won’t give me a chance to extend the time slot, let alone save the true duration once that is known. A task that is done every thirty days automatically gets pushed out a month, even though it needs to be done today. It’s possible that I am doing this all wrong, but without any instructions, I’m doing what seems logical. And that ain’t working. Several maneuvers during setup caused the app to crash. There are other bugs I noticed but I’m not going to keep typing. Bottom line is: $60 for this app is totally absurd. It should be free for now because it works like a beta version.

They contacted me and expressed concern

I tried to contact the developers and the email address isn’t good. I hit the button to get the app before I realized there was a fee. They don’t post it up front like many other developers. I am quitting as of this moment and will refuse and dispute any charge to my account.

I got upset too quickly. The cost for the app was correctly posted. I apologize and hope my review didn’t do any damage to the company.

Love but subscription ruined it

The app is a great tool, perfect for someone who has a problem focusing and getting things done. The one problem was after a week of real progress it tells me I need a subscription to continue the use. I’m a student and really can’t afford another subscription service that isn’t school related and I’m disappointed that something so helpful is now useless to me.

App is to confusing

Very cluttered and there is not an every Wednesday or Thursday option

Needs a couple tweaks

Overall, I find this app helpful and motivating, but there are a few things I dislike:

1. I can’t find a way to retroactively record chores. Just because I forgot to tell the app I did a chore doesn’t mean I didn’t do it.

2. I don’t like that I can’t customize the chores without developer approval. They’ve tried to explain to other reviewer that this is to prevent duplicates, but if a list of suggested chores popped up to try to match a new chore being typed in, that could take care of a lot of that. Not mention there are already a lot of near duplicates (“sweep floors” vs “clean floors” vs “wash floors”)

3. There doesn’t seem to be a way to search for certain chores overall—you have to add a room, and then you can only search within that room’s list of chores.

Can’t Find Where To Cancel Free Trial

I’ve decided that this app is not for me. I thought it was going to help me declutter. It’s really a home maintenance app for houses that are already clean. Now that I know it’s not what I was looking for, I can’t find where to cancel the free trial.

No custom tasks

It looked like the perfect app...until I realized I couldn’t add any custom chores. You can only select from their list. You can “suggest” other ones, but apparently the developers have to review tasks before you can add them? No thanks, I’m an adult who can figure out what she needs to clean in her own home without someone else approving it.

Buggy

I downloaded this app but could barely get started. When authenticating with Facebook, the app froze and won’t restart. It is stuck on the loading page with the logo. I hope they get this fixed because it seems like a great app.

Update: Dirtfree asked me to update this review because they fixed the issue. I am no longer using the app because it was too frustrating to use and customize to my lifestyle.

An ADHD Gal’s Best Friend

As someone who is neurodiverse, I often struggle with maintaining regular housekeeping routines and often find myself overwhelmed when trying to tackle it all. The dirt free app has been incredibly helpful with helping me breakdown tasks by area. I love that there is a list of tasks that I can choose to add to my routine since I can easily forget certain things like, rescaling my coffee maker! I was like, “oh yeah, that’s important!” Now dirt free will put it on my task list every 30 days. I also really enjoy the little motivational awards and “streaks.” Making housekeeping a game makes it way more fun and ensures I’m more likely to continue using this app. I would love it if there was a way to share my stats with an “accountability buddy” kind of like how Fitbit does with their steps so you can “compete” with friends. Oh, I also love the colorful pie charts and scales that show my apartment’s house cleanliness % as well as each room’s individual cleaning score.

I’ve tried TONS of task and to-do apps and this one by far has been the most ADHD friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone & everyone ☺️

No so personalized

This app is really good once set up and it fun to use however the big downfall is you can not customize the rooms or add customized tasks. You can only select from a pre written list. If you could do this the app would be fantastic

Response from developer

Hello there! Thank you for your kind words! We're happy you have enjoyed using our app and it's helped you with your cleaning chores! We are constantly reviewing feature requests, and will definitely review having the ability to add custom named tasks and areas as well.  In the meantime, we hope that our app has most of the tasks you are looking for and if there are any that you'd like added in a future update, feel free to reach out to us at feedback@dirtfree.net.

LOVE IT!

It keeps me accountable for daily tasks and helps the house stay tidy even with a hectic lifestyle.
It's also a great reminder for those cleaning jobs that tend to get pushed to the side for weeks or months. Completely customizable to your home and schedule! Layout is clean & easy to navigate.

SUPPORT STAFF are wonderful! I was having some trouble getting the app to work on my iPad mini, but after a few emails and a quick update - voila!! Super grateful for that!
Best cleaning app ever.

The App You Need

This is it! This has everything I’ve been looking for in a chore app. Maybe I want to add specific-to-my-house chores but I really don’t want too much freedom. I have ADHD so I can spend hours setting these types of apps up with super specific things that just set me up for failure. This keeps the chores clear and consistent and rotates them so your day is never impossible. Looking at my long long long list of chores makes me freeze in fear. But Dirtfree takes that option away and gives me daily tasks that I can pick out to fit my home. With the last update, I can now assign chores to my family members which is amazing!! So helpful! And I love how they can either make an account on my phone (my daughter) or have their app linked to our house I set up on their own phone (my husband.) I really enjoy the badges. I need little collections like that to feel any positive reinforcement at all. The percentages of how dirty or clean each room is help too because it lets me prioritize if I won’t be able to get to every chore that day. And I love that the chores automatically roll-over when I do take a day...or two...or a week off from chores and I gotta know where to start to dig out! Any “bug” I’ve found has been tiny and fixed in minutes after I asked for help. I can’t wait to see how this app expands and keeps it fresh because I’m in love!

New update

This update is terrible!! All my tasks are gone and now have different settings that I did not pics!! All my rooms disappeared!! I was living this app until this update!! I wish I had not paid for the whole year!!! Now it is worthless to me!!!

Froze opening screen

Have downloaded the app several times to see if it will beyond the opening screen... but nothing changes ... it freezes and does not go beyond the opening screen...please fix!!

Cant sign up with apple so not sure

It looks good, asked me about my flat etc and came up with a plan but the I tried to “sign up with apple” and it crashed and now it won’t open

Crashed

Looked like a decent app, but as soon as I marked which rooms I have in my house as part of the quiz, the app crashed and would never re-load.

Expensive

Over priced app
