Ratings and reviews

2022- No where to send a message. The app I downloaded doesn't have all the menu buttons at the bottom (as shown on this app listing). Useless and frustrating. Update: the tech team reached out to me & said it would all work after our first check-in at the daycare. It completely did not work for half of the parents. 6 months in, and still half the buttons missing at the bottom. Also, the "daily report" takes 3-4 minutes to refresh. One of the worst apps I've ever used. 2024 - still the same!

It's basically useless because of bugs. There is no way to communicate through the app after the child is dropped off at school it locks everything. Then there's a bug with the "daily report" where it always says "refreshing"so you can never actually get the update after you pick up your child. So the only thing that works is drop off notes in the morning before you drop off. Almost useless, not quite.

Utter garage. I'd give zero stars if I could. Slow, buggy, works a third of the time if you're lucky. My kids' daily reports show up days later if at all. Check-ins rarely work. Couldn't download photos for more than a month. Haven't been able to login for three days now. Emailing support is futile. Quite literally none of the base functionality actually works.
