Contact Sweepy Support

My family and I moved into a new house and wanted a lifestyle change that involves regular cleaning. Two members of my family, including myswlf, have ADD and find prioritizing and staying on task difficult and Sweepy is a wonderful solution. I love the customization ability, the depiction of cleanliness of a room as a bar which drops from green to red, and the general appealing and cute interface! But, there is a major sticking point: my family like the idea of the feature which gives a day-by-day breakdown of chores that need doing (with reminders!) but find that it just doesn't work because we have not thus far found a way to assign tasks to a certain person, only based on "effort". I may wake up to a notification that I need to make my parents' bed! I would love if, when creating a task, you could pick a family member to be in charge of that task, either always, or on a day-by-day basis. The ability to assign tasks to each family member or restrict rooms to certain family members only would take Sweepy from pretty darn good to just what my family needs! I hope the developers and those interested in downloading will consider this feedback. Thank you!

I’m using this app to help keep the house clean for a family of 5, and to keep track of the care of our chickens, garden, and about 40 houseplants. My kids are too young to have a device and my husband uses another task manager so I am the only user. So far it has been helpful to have a few random tasks assigned to me each day. Checking off the list is really satisfying and I’m not bored by a set cleaning schedule. It would be great if I had the option to group like-tasks or zones on one day (like, do all the dusting in all the bedrooms on one day or do these five kitchen tasks, etc). It would also be nice to be able to sort tasks by what needs to be done soonest. I have quite a few tasks that need to be done every day but they don’t always appear in my daily list. My only other criticism is about the price. As the sole user I don’t know if I can justify the subscription fee. It’s definitely worth it to me to pay for the extra features that similar free apps don’t offer, but I’m not sure it’s worth it at the current price point for a single user. (Absolutely worth it for a family sharing the app though!)

I love having an app that can keep track of chores that need doing on regular intervals. It had the flexibility of adding in one-time or occasional tasks as well (shoveling snow, for example, is as-needed). The interface is pleasant and it successfully makes me want to do chores more!

My one complaint is the “effort point” system. I realize it can’t be intricate to stay easy to use, but right now it’s pretty bad for showing how much one household member has done vs another. For example, shoveling snow is grueling work that can take over an hour... and the most it can be three points? Cleaning a light switch takes thirty seconds and it’s one point! I could rack up ridiculous points while my husband’s out in the cold and it would “count” for much more. It would be worlds better if the effort points went up to 5 at least, or perhaps if you could use “time spent on chores” instead of “effort points” at all. Im trying to coax my husband into using the app with me and this is his main complaint 🤦‍♀️ it seems silly to pay for the subscription if he won’t use it with me
