MaidGrow 4+

When I first started my cleaning business 5 years ago I used the app from Cleaning Acadademy. Paid a one time fee used it for years no problems.

I loved this app. This app was my business partner and made my cleaning business function with ease. I was ready at any moment to put a cleaning quote together and email it to the customer. This was a work smarter not harder tool that I couldn’t live without.

My business shut down during the pandemic and I’m reopening my business and didn’t have the app on my new phone. Went to the website and it is now $20/month which is fine if the app was fully functional, but you can’t email the customers where you could before, in my opinion this is a key feature and there really isn’t much that has changed other than the look of the app and the name so paying $20/month for an app that doesn’t have full functionality and is less functional than the previous app for a one time fee is not something I’m interested in paying for long term, I will be looking for a new app.

HI Crissy! Thanks for the feedback! Regarding not being able to send estimate emails to customers, I was hoping to add this feature to the new web and mobile apps at the time of development but due to budget constraints, I was not able to do so. I hope to add these features in a future release. I know it was so convenient to send it from within the app. Sorry for the inconvenience. I emailed you a template that you can use to send off to customers.

Great to hear that you opened your business back up!

As other user mentioned, the app became unusable, it continuously crashes every time try to put a quote. Please fix it ASAP.

Thanks for the feedback and great suggestions! I hope to add these features in a future release. In the meantime you can use the Sq Ft selection to help adjust for the size of the kitchen and bathrooms and the Extra Time selection to adjust for the foyer, hallways, and stairs. Please contact me at support@cleaningbusinessacademy.com so I can look into this for you. Thank you.

Previously we were able to send estimate to an email. I have only found that when using website I can share a link to the web page which then gives access to entire account? At least the ability for changes to be made by receiver. When using app I have not found a way to share an estimate with a client. For me this is key for a five star rating. Anyone can do the math. They platform really made giving an accurate estimate quick and easy. To be able to show how I came to the final cost is the most important part. Otherwise I could just use a scrap piece of paper if I am simply sharing a number. I hope there is a fix to this soon. Or maybe I am just missing something?

Hi! Thanks for the review. Sorry at this time there is no customer email feature. I hope to add this in a future release. I personally just insert the price only into a personalized email template and sent that off to the customer.
