Mixed emotions about this app. Overall, it's okay and minimally does what it's supposed to do. However, it does not load memories when you tap on "tap to load more" and it doesn't refresh the class list when you pull down. The camera lags a little when you take a picture if it even loads at all so I usually end up taking it on my phone and going through the album tab.

The app is only reliable about 15% of the time. It constantly crashes, it takes forever to load, it rarely ever updates the classroom status, kids will randomly disappear and then pop up in other class rosters, you can't preview videos before you send them, the message interface is so absurdly stupid- It is constantly sending off accidental half written messages. It's just awful. I curse whoever in my company decided to trap us in the living hell of having to use this godforsaken app every day.

No way to message parents easily and efficiently within the app. Only daily notes. I wish there was a way to click on multiple (or one) parents and email them simultaneously so you don't have to go back and copy word for word the email they provided and go back to a separate email. If there were actual back and forth messaging on the app I would give it more stars. Brightwheel is better and easier but my new daycare job uses Tadpoles sadly.

Thanks for your feedback! Instant messaging with families is an optional feature of the app that schools can turn on or off. We'd be happy to help your school explore this feature!
