What's New in CareDay

3.2.414

June 21, 2026

Your little ones can now be checked in and out with a quick QR code scan—fast, easy, and no more fumbling with PINs during the morning rush. We've also given photos and videos a glow-up so they load faster and look better than ever, and polished up forms and layouts across the app for a smoother experience. Oh, and we'll gently nudge you to update when a new version is ready, so you never miss the good stuff.

Horrible

It’s so annoying and its has so many bugs.

Good

Great simple app that lets us enjoy our little ones memories and chat with teachers

Basic app without needed features

Our daycare recently switched from a fairly popular and robust app to CareDay.
Sadly we lost several features including the ability to like a photo, download photos that our child appears with others, capability to send images to the teachers etc.
There is also a randomized 6 digit code to memorize for checkin/out.
The most frustrating error is the loading of photos and videos. It takes an incredibly long time to download, and some of them never do.
I wish luck to these developers, but this app is not ready for user consumption yet, they could learn a lot from the more established daycare apps and what features are important to the parents.

Buggy

For the most part I love this app. It’s easy to read updates and provide them. However, the bugs as of late have become very frustrating. Especially when it comes to pictures not loading and the app kicking you out randomly. Hopefully this can get fixed soon to improve the app.

Poorly Designed and Extremely Buggy!!

I’m pretty shocked that daycare’s would choose to use this app over others on the market. Although there are some helpful features, the app is extremely buggy and doesn’t work a lot of the times like you would expect and rely on an app used in the childcare space. Lots of app crashing, no ability to add attachment to messages, pictures and videos frequently only load a black screen, unnecessary internal passwords, and poorly designed UX organization. Very disappointed that my son’s daycare chose this app over much better options. Keep scrolling in the App Store.
