FlyLady: Routines & Cleaning

I love the app so far, and a lot of the initial setup has been done for me. It gives me reminders to do things I wouldn’t normally have thought of that makes a huge impact. That being said, I have some rooms that are different. It’s been a real nuisance setting these up. I need to be able to duplicate tasks and move tasks between rooms. For example, my laundry room and downstairs bathroom are together. Flylady has them as two separate rooms. I would like to be able move already existing tasks from the bathroom into the laundry room so I can see them together, instead of having them separate. Currently to do that I have to create each bathroom task in the laundry room. Also I have a shed and a garage which do has not already been set up as a room. My shed and garage will have similar tasks. I would love to be able to create a room from another similar room by simply duplicating it. One other minor issue - I would like to have a notepad or a reminder section for one-off tasks that are not necessarily cleaning or room-related and not necessarily recurring. Like a follow-up phone call to an insurance provider, or preparing for guests. These tasks should stay there until they’re finished or deleted. This is still the best task management app I’ve ever used. I just hope some of these features will be implemented soon.

This app is absolutely impeccable! I used the list of home zones to slowly clean my entire house. As someone with extreme ADHD, it has always been difficult to stay completely organized. But this app has helped me to not only organize my house, but to maintain this organized house!!! There is also a group of routine lists, such as after dinner/ before bed routine. It includes the list already written so that anybody can expand upon the basic things that the routine lists include. It is so amazing to be able to take my fly lady course from my phone. I can even use it in my car while running errands. (Highly recommend the course by the way). There is a really amazing timer setting in the app so you can set timers anywhere from 2 minutes to 24 hours! It is so amazing to be able to read the fly lady blog on my app as well! It has been delightful to read her blog on the app. She includes relatable days in her life and help with issues such as losing your keys, and affordable ways to simply make your life easier. Most of the time on other websites, these things are expensive, time consuming, or obvious. But these advice items for solving the problems are none of those things!! It is so simple! So go download the app and try it yourself!! Thank you, Fly Lady!!!

I have only had this app for a week, but it is helped me tremendously! I appreciate it having daily things, and zones. It helps me to wrap my mind around what should be done daily and what could be done every week or every two weeks. I did not come from a neat organized home, but a chaotic disaster. This is literally teaching me a skill that I do not have which is sort of sad. However, I have to agree with another review that there are a couple things that are bothering me about the app itself. First of all, the edit button and the done heart when you're trying to add something is kind of tricky on my iPhone 5… It doesn't want to go and it keeps cutting off. Also, I can't change or add anything into my agenda from the app which I would like to be able to do if they're going to be connected. Also you have to physically reset the daily routines. Now I understand why you would want to reset the zones because you might not get everything done in one day because you have serval days to do some of the zone work issues but I think the daily routine should probably reset automatically. I hope this helps! What this is doing for me personally I would give it five stars but I gave it four stars because of those few problems that I've seen so far.
