Pretty nice. I wish there was an option to add a driver that doesn't come with a kid. I wanted to add my husband and mother to the carpool. Obviously they are all there to help out my son, but they had to create a fake kid to join the carpool. Also, say I want to modify times etc. for midterms three months away- there should be an easier way to get to that date instead of scrolling through three months of carpools. When I change a pick up time, you don't see the change until you restart ap

Hi. Thanks for your feedback! We'll keep in mind what you're saying about modifying future dates. There is a way to add family members to your GoKid family without them creating separate accounts. Could you kindly get in touch with us at support@gokid.mobi so we can walk you through this? Thanks!

Not very user friendly, especially if you or other carpoolers don't have paid version. You really should offer a promotion for your app's newest sign up members. Maybe a FREE one month unlimited trial use of the full PRO version. OR maybe offer 5 FREE full PRO version created carpool, if decided to purchase by 5th creation, 50% off the normal price. That way members will know if it's actually worth paying for, despite its frustrating FREE version app. Has no flow from one creation to any other

Hi there. The free version of GoKid includes scheduling, routing, and reminders. GoKid Pro has always been free for the first month for everyone. Please do check it out :) If you have specific things you are struggling with in the app please email support@gokid.mobi and we'd be happy to work with you to figure out any issues!

There is no option to put a generic location like "school" or "mailbox" for setting up carpools that the carpool riders can understand amongst themselves. Why does the app require an exact address for pickup and dropoff ? A lot of parents may not like to share exact details for various reasons -- privacy, new address not registered yet, temporary locations, etc. Please let me know if such an option exists!

Thanks for your feedback. GoKid users only invite trusted parents to a carpool. Only if friends accept they receive the location. GoKid respects data privacy: NO ONE ELSE sees the addresses + we are not sharing the data. Location data is used for route optimization, to send alerts when it's time to go, and for live tracking. Hope this helps.
