### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2016-08-24, version 3.2.2*

Bought this app a few years ago and still use it. Amended recently to reflect life changes and it was so easy to use. I have all my routines and checklist for every part of my life exactly how I wan't them. I've not seen this flexibility with any others organisation app. Sync perfectly too. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!!

*2014-01-08, version 2.5.3*

This keeps me organized using FlyLady system. Love it!

### 4/5 — Effective

*2013-09-03, version 2.5.3*

Simple to use, powerful features, effective.

### 5/5 — Home routines

*2013-08-29, version 2.5.3*

I really like this app!  There is always so much to do and the check off lists help me to stay focused. Also love the weekly task lists and the focus zones that change each week. My house is cleaner than ever.

### 5/5 — Love it, one add on please

*2013-06-23, version 2.5.2*

I love this app and use it a lot to make keeping the house running a little more fun.  I just feels good to check stars off!  

One thing I'd like to see:
When I'm looking at the All Zones page, I'd like to see my level of completeness of each zone at a glance.  Like how you have the flower with petals that represent completeness for the morning and evening routines.  That will help me tackle any zones that are almost done before I clear all my stars!

### 5/5 — Still using after a year

*2013-04-10, version 2.5.2*

I have always been very unmotivated to clean my house, so I need all the help that I can get. This app does just that. It's a nice sense of accomplishment to be able to check off each task.

The quick and easy customization is a huge bonus. 

The main downfall of the app is that is doesn't have a "task last completed" date to know how long its really been since I cleaned behind the fridge.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-03-31, version 2.5.2*

This is one of the best apps out there.  It is so well thought out and useful.  You are able to set up your cleaning schedule for the entire year.  If you are a neat freak or not, this app will benefit you.  Love it!

### 5/5 — Time Saver!

*2013-03-19, version 2.5.2*

I really like this app. It took a while to set up but now it helps me keep track of what is done and what to work on next so that I don't just give up because I feel overwhelmed. The progress star oddly helps me feel like I have accomplished something. Kindergarten indoctrination? :-) but it works.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2013-02-20, version 2.5.1*

I used to control my life with the Sidetracked Home Executives card system. This is a great electronic  substitute . It keeps me on track and my home company ready. I am a teacher at heart and at 65 I am still motivated by gold stars!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-02-06, version 2.5*

This has everything one needs to create an organized home maintenance system. Lots of space to make routines. Even follows Flylady's routines. T
