User reviews

Makes so much sense

Have been using app for past year for after-school pickups and play dates. Logistics have become sooo much easier. It’s taken a tremendous load off of our plates. Amazing tool for patents!

Lifesaving!

This app is gorgeous, intuitive, and USEFUL. So clearly developed by a parent - the perfect tool for coordinating, scheduling and communicating. Awesome.

So helpful for family childcare swap

This app is fantastic! We use it to coordinate families sharing in afternoon school pickup. It facilitates messaging, scheduling and syncs with my calendar. Also has child profiles so you can see allergies, Dr. and emergency contracts. Super helpful!!

Brilliant App!

My husband and I have found this app to be amazingly helpful to assist in organizing play dates and care for our young children. The app is super user-friendly and intuitive making our lives busy work lives so much easier. Would highly recommend to any parent or caregiver looking to help keep their kiddos in the loop and effortlessly set up care and play dates.

Easy to use app to set up play dates and swap care with friends.

I love this app to find care between other moms in my moms’ group. I also use it to set up date night swaps with other moms in my neighborhood. I highly recommend it!
