The app loads slowly and updates slowly. The daycare center instance of it only loads at all maybe 20% of the time, leaving the teachers responsible for trying again and again after drop off to get it working.
ETA: another major miss is that unlike virtually every other childcare app out there, updates in the app don’t have times attached. So if the caregiver doesn’t have time/forgets to add the time manually, the update appears without a time. The whole point of knowing that your kid has eaten or napped is knowing when it happened, so you can plan the evening. Very strange that this common feature is absent.
Also the title is ridiculous. Fathers provide a substantial amount of childcare, including being on call for childcare-related contacts during the day - the implication that it’s always the mother is archaic and silly. I wish my center would use another app.Show lessEsk42

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It doesn't sound right that you are experiencing such issues. Please, send us a quick note at support@himama.com and we're more than happy to assist you and fix this. Regarding the timestamp, I've forwarded your suggestion to our product team. Naps, fluids, and meal updates are the most subject to change so they are not shown in real-time to avoid confusion. However, the childcare does have the option to enable these updates in real-time. Please reach out to the center and let them know you'd like to see this information! 😉 We chose to call ourselves HiMama because we originally wanted to pay homage to and were inspired by working mothers. However, we were naive not to consider how this could lead to other equally important and vital groups feeling excluded (fathers, grandparents, etc.). Our name triggering any feelings of exclusion was never our intention as we recognize everyone’s important role in our young children’s lives, regardless of racial, ethnic, religious, gender or sexual orientation.Worth it!
As a small daycare provider, this app is amazing! It saves me so much time being able to log almost everything in one place, on my phone. My families have all have great feedback and said they love it, too. The only thing it’s lacking is the ability to generate a master report on who did/ate what, each day, for the teacher. I would like to be able to use it to record meals, but I can’t, at least not easily.Show lessShhugkctsyfjg
