Controlling Chaos

This app helps control the madness of a carpooling text group. No more back and forth texts. It’s all in one spot!

Lifesaver for Busy Families

This is an incredibly helpful and easy app to use. It makes a busy family life less stressful. Allows for setting reoccurring practices/events, storing addresses for multiple pickup/dropoff locations, and even stores driver’s seat count so you don’t overload your carpool. Definitely recommend!

Carpool kids review

It helps me find my carpools really fast and it helps me know who I am going with.

Very Useful!

This app was a lifesaver for my son’s friend group! We set up a neighborhood carpool for school and football practice and this app made it much easier

Useful, but limited features

I’ve been using this for my kids’ sports teams and it has been very useful to lighten the load. There are some features that could be added or improved:
- The app allows an outbound sync, but really needs to allow an inbound sync. Many sports leagues have shared calendars that can be imported using a URL. Unfortunately, the app requires users to type in each event.
- the app shows a report of who has driven in the past but does not allow you to view past events. Some of our events were driverless so I’d like to be able to edit prior events to add the driver (we have one parent who doesn’t use the app)
- the app does not allow you to store locations. We have three facilities where our kids practice and I’d love to be able to use a nickname instead of manually adding the address

Fix those and the app would be four stars.

Eh - just so so

The data is slow to update the changes do not reflect in the ride right away a there is no messaging - the app allows riders to be seated above the maximum - when new rides on the same date are available the driver should be able to make a comment so all users can read - there is little to no information about the kid version

Not user friendly

Map option

wish i could choose google map and also pinpoint on the map. we need to go to a specific building on the college property but couldnt get the exact spot on the map.

Good luck figuring it out

Complicated setup with no instructions.

Nice functional app

Works well and is easy to set up and use for coordinating carpools. Thanks to the developers for fixing the notif preferences so quickly.

Good but mapping could be improved.

Great app and way to coordinate carpools but I can’t fully recommend as it is let down by default to Apple Maps on iPhone. Please please add option to use Google Maps or Waze. Apple Maps is so terrible and constantly makes driving much longer.

Great concept, notifications need tweaking

This has been helpful for our soccer team, setting up different drivers and pickup locations, but the notifications are wild. Nobody needs to know every time a child is added or removed from a group you aren’t driving and your child isn’t even in. Would be hugely helpful to be able to filter notifications to just rides that you’re driving or that your child is riding in. We’re all getting 20+ emails a day, so we all turned off every notification which isn’t ideal either but is way better than being blown up constantly.

Great app

Somewhat user-friendly but not entirely intuitive. It makes it easy to assign and change drivers and riders, route trips, etc. scheduling and routing can use some improvements.

Helpful app for busy parents with busy kids

This app has been helpful in coordinating multiple carpools. There is a slight learning curve for those in our carpool that aren’t tech savvy but we’re getting there.

So Helpful!

This wonderful, helpful app makes scheduling and communicating so easy. Last year I was in a carpool where we just had a text group, which is fine if schedules never change and everything is always the same. But when some kids don’t need a ride because of an extracurricular on one day, and swapping dates when people travel there where times I wasn’t sure if everybody remembered the changes and I felt rude reminding people if they didn’t need reminding, but yet I didn’t want kids without rides even more. This app took all that worry away and lets you make changes in advance that are clear to everyone. Love, love, love this app.

Needed for teen commutes

This app could easily be updated to allow riders to create their own schedules once they are a certain age which would expand the user population of this product significantly. Please update!

Grateful!

We have used this app for 4 years now and it’s an absolute gem! Can’t imagine trying to organize kids activities without it:-).

Really useful. Met our needs entirely.

Best, easiest to use app

Two of my kids needed soccer carpools. This app is easy to use and their tech support is top notch! Worth the yearly fee!
