On the app store, one review said: ‘I love this app! My house has never been so clean. You don’t realise sometimes that something you thought you did “last week” was really “last month”. This app really helps me keep track, especially of less frequent tasks that tend to get forgotten.’
Cost: Free, with in-app purchases.
