Great app!! (& better Free!!!)

Purchased this app several months ago, to use with my spouse. Sadly, she wasn’t a fan, but it helped me remember to do more around the house. I like that the chores keep until the next scheduled time, and then renew. (I only said I improved, not that I was getting it all done.) I say get it—and this is from someone who thought it was worth the subscription price. Now that it’s free, you have nothing to lose but your clutter.One niggle for the developer about it being free, though…Is there any way for those of us who had a subscription & have cancelled it w/Apple to kill that damned pop-up reminding us to cancel? Are “never subscribers” getting that too?!? I mean, I get why it’s there, but…Minor…but if it is/can become possible, I’d be most appreciative…

I’ve only had this app for a day, but I’m already loving it. There are a few more features that would make it even better, though:1. A calendar view with color coding or filter by owner so I can more easily see where to spread out chores so they don’t all land on the same days/weekends. Even if I couldn’t edit tasks directly from there at first, just the view would help see where a bunch of things are clustered.2. Ability to Alternate between only certain people instead of everyone. For example, I only want my husband and I to clean the master bedroom, or I want only the kids to alternate cleaning the shared bathrooms.3. Allow multiple owners for things. Example: something an adult might want to do with a child. Right now a work around is to just assign it to the adult, which is fine, but I could see other possible uses for this, too, like I want all the kids to rake the leaves, etc. 4. While I’m happy with the checklist attached to the task, my husband really wants a general notes field to put a longer description than the name, but not in checklist format. To me, the checklist meets that need, but I can see how a notes field might be useful for some.All in all, though, a wonderful app that’s already making my life easier after one day! It seems like this is going to be well worth the yearly subscription price. Great job!!

Overall great app—easy interface, well-organized. My only complaint is the assignment of tasks. I love that users can assign individual and rotating tasks. However, I think adding an “everyone” option and the ability to assign specific chores to multiple people would take this app from wonderful to spectacular. I live in a house with roommates, and trying to keep everyone accountable for their own messes is a struggle. Our household has a daily dishwashing chore for everyone’s own dishes. Only problem is there’s no “everyone” option for task assignment. Also, only certain members of the home are responsible for pet care since not everyone owns a pet in the house. Being able to assign “walk dogs” to only two people instead of anyone/one person would be grand. Please consider!

Thanks for the compliments and feedback! I presume you were able to find that you can assign tasks to 'anyone', but maybe this is a bit different to 'everyone' where everyone needs to check it off? We'll definitely consider this for the future. And assigning tasks to a few specific people is on our list. We hope to get it into the app soon :). Please email us at hello@zendenapp.com if you have more specifics on these features so we make sure to build it right.
