It’s OK

It functions well and consistently but there should be an option where all parents can view the chat simultaneously. (for example, my wife makes a question that I can’t read and latet get her answer without knowing what the question was)

Just some ideas
Teenage_girl
Hi I work as a teacher in a day care that uses brightwheels. These are some ideas that I thought would make it easer as a teacher! When marking the kid out when they go home it would be nice to have it say Mom/Dad/ grandparent/or Guardian! The parents names being in the info button, and for there age to be made clear also in the info. Thank you for taking these into consideration when you updated the app next time!
Not able to download photos in batches
Pennyjeanpenny
No idea why they don't allow the users to download phoyos and videos in batches. I'm wasting my life to download all the videos one by one. Thanks for this app, and it's already 3 hours wasting on it while only 1/3 has been done.
Amazing App

Brightwheel is a lifesaver! We have been using this app for our summer camp and I have to to say that it has truly been a gift from above. This app has not only enhanced our communication with parents but allowed them to be interactive and provides full transparency into their child’s day to day. Brightwheel is definitely a must have and favorite of all of our staff members as it has helped them with becoming super organized with their breakdown of the various groups, activities, child info, etc. All in all, we couldn’t be happier with our decision to integrate this amazing app to ensure a successful summer! A huge thank you goes to Jamie for your awesome customer service; you truly went above and beyond — thank you. Ashley
“Like” option needed

The app is great. The only thing I wish it had is an option to “like” photos and videos that are sent from the teachers. This would be a nice and useful addition.
Love getting real time updates and photos

As a parent I love that my child’s daycare uses this app. It allows me to know how much he ate, what he ate, when his diaper was changed, what activities they have been doing as well as getting pictures. I do wish there was a way to “like” the pictures so that I could let the teachers know that I appreciated getting the picture without having to send them a message, which is another awesome feature of the app. I would and have recommended this app to friends who have their kids in daycares that are not yet using brightwheel.
Good start, some key features still needed

This app is fairly reliable, intuitive to navigate and has a clean, appealing UI. Adding a few key features for parents would take it to the next level: 1. Display who sent a message. Currently, I only know if a note is from my child’s teacher, preschool director or an assistant if she/he remembers to sign their name. 2. Allow message threads. I need to be able to reply back to a specific message (this is compounded by not knowing who wrote a message). 3. Badge notifications. I want to be able to see quickly whether there are new notifications without opening the app and scrolling. 4. Enable payments. I should be able to view and pay an invoice from within the app. With these 4 features, this app would be a solid five stars. A bonus feature would be the ability to customize notifications by child (e.g. I have two kids and want to receive food notifications for one child but not the other).
Love this app!

I really love this app. I’m a first time mom and my daycare send me photos, updates, videos of my baby and I am so glad because I hate being apart from her. I would suggest to make it apple watch friendly...maybe someday????
