Ratings and reviews

Great app but do not receive notifications. Using the app is a great experience. The layout is clean and user friendly. The information shown is amazing and it updates quickly. However, I cannot get push notifications to work on my phone and this is a major need for me. I have to keep opening the app to see if there are any updates or messages otherwise I have missed them. I've attempted all the fixes (clearing data/caches, uninstall/reinstall, all notifications allowed) but nothing works.

Great app! Sometimes becomes slow of you have a lot of kids enrolled (100+) otherwise works very well. The optional activity tab is great for keeping track of infant activities. I just wish they would make the app rotate. Edit: They made the app rotate! But the kiosk screen still does not. Would be nice if observations could be made visible to parents.

Apparently you can't see or respond to messages on the otherwise functional website, so you have to install the app to do that. Already incredibly user-hostile. Then I can't even log in, after confirming the username/password work on the web site and trying twice while checking for typos. Good thing my daycare still has a phone, since I apparently can't talk to them online.
