Ratings and reviews

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.

Doesn't work without location permission on my Android phone. Installed as instructed, appeared to work first day it was implemented. Second day, hoping the hiccups of first day ensuring everybody is on the new app were gone, it prompted for access permissions and nothing happens when I click on deny. Reported to the rep on-site. Two weeks+ later, no update to the app.

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.
