Ratings and reviews

Very happy to make the switch to Daily Connect from Lillio (Hey Mama) app. Daily Connect helps me to stay in contact with parents, providing them with daily reports & photos. Plus, it has all of my record keeping and billing in one place. I can set up how often I want my records emailed to me or I can print them as needed anytime. It's affordable & I can customize it to fit my daycare. I can also use it for families that have different authorized users and access rights. I highly recommend it!

This app is wonderful! It's so nice having one place to keep up with all the little things you want to remember when you have a baby and life gets busy! I can stay on top of everything and even keep track of milestones. I also love that it can be synchronized so that if my husband or a caregiver is taking care of my son they can make entries as well. And the support Dept is very prompt and extremely helpful if you need anything! I'll be recommending this app to all of my new mom friends for sure

Really enjoy being able to keep a connection with my baby while at work. I have noticed that there is occasionally lag time where it doesn't update in real time (ex. Husband picked up baby at X time, but I don't see it in the system until a couple hours later). Otherwise great!
