Such a help!

This app and Gemma’s content is a god send to me. I was overwhelmed and this has offered guidance, company and a bit of perspective. Thank you Gemma.

Genuinely changed my life

I wish I had started using this app years ago! I have a toddler and I find it difficult to do the daily tasks right now, but the vault full of guided audios has genuinely changed my life. I have undiagnosed ADHD and I have spent almost 15 years trying and failing to get a handle on the housework. I have tried probably hundreds of different strategies by now, with varying degrees of success, but this is the thing that has finally broken through. I love doing my housework now! I am so excited to select an audio and just get going, it honestly feels like a treat. Thank you so so much for making this app and recording these audios, you have genuinely changed mine and my family’s lives for the better ❤️

Patronising

There is not much focus on cleaning in new sessions. It is more about casual chatter, more like a radio than a cleaning app.

Life saver!!

I have 6 kids ages 11 and under - and this app has saved my sanity in trying to manage my house! Gemma has really helped me to stop hating the housework and being constantly overwhelmed by it. Can’t recommend this highly enough!

Doesn’t Work now

Requires updated iOS and you now just get a blank screen. No good for people like me without the space to update phone.

Thank you Gemma

I love this app and having some company for cleaning, keep up the amazing work Gemma the vault is great and I love looking to see whats dropped to keep things fresh! Thank you its helped me more than you can possibly imagine and that ripples out into everything else

The Best!

This is the single best subscription I have. I’ve always struggled with housework overwhelm (I grew up in a chaotic household), but TOM Rocks takes out the guesswork and gets me through it. Gem is like a friend, and my family benefits from her thought planning and “do it together a little at a time” approach. The app gets a little better with each update as well (thanks, Mike!).

The best method and app for us neurodivergents!

I have used TOM and the app for several years, and there is nothing better than turning on my favorite music and having Gemma’s sweet voice tell me what to clean next. If it doesn’t line up with my mess, I just clean what needs to be done and use her as a timer. It’s like a body double and a boss all in one. Easy to use, always new content - the absolute best.

Guided Cleanings are a gamechanger!

This might be the dopamine talking but the guided cleaning audios set this cleaning app apart from the rest.

I did a two hour session today, as my home really needed a once over after my latest adhd burnout.

I am sloooooow at cleaning and I constantly get sidetracked or not moving around efficiently from task to task.

honestly didn’t think I was gonna sign up after the trial because of the book but I think I will now, for as long as it gets my dopamine going at least.

I hope she has more two hours cleans or maybe room by room deep cleans.

ADHD dream

The app is wonderful, its so helpful for me with adhd paralysis, etc- the guided cleans + knowing how long something will take as well as the message of focusing on what I’ve done today vs what needs to be done has been so helpful. The app itself is great, laid out well, and I enjoy it so much!

Best thing for ADHD!

This is the best tool I have found for helping me manage my house with ADHD. I’m a full-time homeschooling mom, home-maker, and also do various tasks for the business that my husband and I own. The TOM rocks tracks are the best thing ever! I get chores done so much faster and more consistently. Gemma is a genius and a saint for making this system and especially the audio parts of the app! So thankful that this exists. 🙌🏻

Best app ever bought & love the add on subscription too

I have been using this app for so long. I genuinely can’t remember what life was like without it! I first came across it when my soon to be 16 year old was small and it was my game changer.

I think the one of the for the app is well worth it, for those lower reviews complaining that it’s just a load of lists, well they are missing the point and the beauty of it all. It’s not just a load of lists, it’s a really well thought out tried and tested method which has been beautifully grouped together in highly satisfying tickle lists.

On top of that I pay for, and absolutely love, the Tom Rocks guided cleans. There are keep me company sessions too for all of your day-to-day tasks such as unpacking shopping, clearing your inbox, even pottering in the garden.

As well as doing the thinking so you don’t have to, they are full of compassion and camaraderie.

I am so very thankful to Gemma and the team for this app, because it genuinely makes my life easier, and when there’s a lot of stuff out there that seems to be trying to make it harder, it’s nice to find a little yellow square of peace to help me keep the housework under control. Because as Gemma herself will say, there’s more to life than housework!

I like the method, but the app sometimes freezes

As above - the house looks great. But sometimes when I’m navigating between tasks in the main screen the app just freezes and I need to to quit it to be able to do anything at all.

Constant bugs and minimal responses

I’ve had so many issues with the app, which is extra infuriating as the whole premise of it is to save time, not waste it! I email again and again to the support team but all I’m told is “this is still with the developers”. It’s beyond frustrating.

Great App!

Worth it! If I clean on my own my ADHD takes over….there are a million things to do and I keep jumping between tasks. When I clean “with Gemma” I just listen to what she tells me to do and actually finish tasks! My house is much cleaner when I follow this method. Therefore, my mind is much more at ease.

Great!

I love the simple checklists and how they are divided into manageable groups and that you can customize them. It’s so helpful to have someone else decide what I need to do each day for cleaning, LOL

Content is 5star, app is less

It is far more intuitive and easier to access via patreon than this app.
When playing a Tom Rocks session if you want to pause you have to go onto the app.
I used to access via patreon and you could pause on the Home Screen of iPhone or watch.
It seems clunky using this app but I love the Tom Rocks sessions

Great product, app driving me spare

Love the product but the app isn’t working - it won’t open the tasks for the day despite clicking. Sometimes when I force a restart it does but I’ve just redownloaded and it won’t. So it’s unusable

So Helpful!

This app is so worth it to me sometimes I have done the guided cleans and sometimes not but just having the checklist right here on my phone has been so helpful. I love being able to compartmentalize the cleaning. I just do it and then it’s done for the day and then when I notice something else I don’t have to worry about it. It’s helped so much! It’s also easy to delegate to others in my home.

Great Customer Service

Had a problem with accessing TomRocks of my own making (for me the best bit) and Jenny was really patient with me and talked me through what I needed to do. Everything now works as it should. Thank you! Great Customer Service!
