Love the idea of this app. It is so nice to have a record of what happens at day care. Some feedback for the developers because you have a great start and there are some key improvements that would really help parents a lot. 1. Communication- we just had multiple tornado warnings and 8 touchdown in our area yesterday. As a parent I could not hear anything from the daycare because their line was busy. It would have been nice if they could have posted an alert on the app to notify parents that they were managing the situation and at this time all children and staff were safe. 2. How come check in and check out times are not listed in the daily report?! 3. I live for the pictures. There are push notifications for most things but not pictures. That would be a nice add! 4. Parent communities in the app. Thanks!

Great app, but would LOVE to see a message area to contact the teacher as needed and compatibility with the Apple Watch. I work in a hospital and I cannot have my phone on me, but I would love to get real time updates on my watch as I go through the day.

It seems as though something has changed very recently with the notifications because we never used to get update notifications for photos, videos, and audio and didn’t change any of our settings. And within the app there are lots of detailed notifications I can choose to receive certain real time or not (meals, medications, sunscreen/insect repellent, naps, notes, potties, morning reminder for “please bring” items), but not photos, videos, or audio. I care about all of those other things, but don’t need a notification evertime a photo or video is taken of my kids. For example, just yesterday I got 18 notifications of pictures, videos, and audio that I hadn’t been getting a few weeks ago. It would be really helpful if there was a way to turn off those real time notifications without turning the others off. I like the photos, videos, and audio, but I look at them at the end of the day, whereas the other items I care about as they occur.

The note function for this app should not be limited to the time before check in. Doesn’t allow for communication from the parents all day.

I’m not sure why this app doesn’t work some days, but sporadically the daily report will not update and is frozen on a previous day. Notifications are sent to my phone but no log is available for me to see. Looks like a bug that needs fixing. Great app when it works.

Only nice thing is I can see photos and information about my child. Information is extremely delayed. Always get it late and not until the next day. I have done all the updates and uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing works and continues to get worse.

Having electronic communication for my child’s daycare, as well as the history of it, is a great idea. However, this app is impressive bad, lacking in everything from UX to UI to responsiveness.

App keeps crashing with recent updates. I haven’t had this issue in the past.

I mostly like the app, however you can’t send messages to the teacher with the app. The teacher can send the parent a note but the parent can’t respond. It would be nice to be able to let them know if someone else will be picking my child up, or respond to a teacher note. I can leave a drop off note, however this only works if he is not already checked in by the parent or the teacher. I think parents should be able to add notes anytime.

Love the app, the messages and the pictures! Its great to see how the baby's day is going on and to see and save the images. But one key feature is missing - the ability to communicate with the center! For example if one parent is coming in during lunch time to feed the baby, or if someone is delayed, or the other person/parent is picking up etc.
