Ratings and reviews

The app when working is fab. A really good way of making links between home and school. However, each time the app is updated you have to reset your password. This is not only time-consuming but doesn't always work first time. It will then often lock you out of the account or not recognise you as an account holder. When there are so many criteria that have to be met to create a password, it is frustrating. From September we won't be using the app.

It is so easy to use. Great platform to keep up to date on a child's progress. When my daughter started school, I was able to print a book of all the tapestry posts throughout her nursery journey, I actually got quite emotional looking at it all. I would recommend this platform to education settings. it was easy to have two different settings in one place, I had our nursery and separate school and could access each other without difficulty.

It's good that I'm able to see what my child has been doing during the day but this app has 2 flaws. One is a moderate annoyance, where the care diary keeps jumping back up to the top when I try to scroll through the list. The other is more a major annoyance where notifications come through hours late. So I have to periodically open the app to see if there are any notices. Even if I've already read it, the notification for it still comes through hours later.

What’s new

This is a minor release that fixes a couple of issies in 5.3.0
