Ratings and reviews

This app is AWFUL. The unlock door feature works 1/10 times that I try to use it. I have to keep closing the app and reopening the app multiple times before the app finally recognizes the door I'm RIGHT NEXT TO - NOT convenient. And when we're in a hurry, there is no quick check-in/out option because the phone won't connect to unlock the door. I wish I could just tap my phone against the door from the app's main screen. Also would help to give a notification when my child is checked in/out.

AWFUL. Clunky. Nothing stands out and it's hard to read. The old Kangarootime platform was easier to use and was more intuitive. We do not get push notifications when our kids are checked in/out, and we both have notifications enabled. The gallery is difficult to use- you are only able to click one image at a time and then have to hit back to see more. Messaging is clunky- you aren't able to hit reply- only acknowledge when you get a message. You have to send a whole new message to reply.

This is a terrible app. Our daycare switched to this app from the regular KangarooTime app because they were promised it was better and with more features. There's not a single thing it does better. It's significantly worse in every way. There are no push notification options. The photos aren't organized by day. Just all dropped into one page. No notifications about messages. No way to message the daycare. No indication of when the child has been checked in and out. Terrible in every way.
