No customer service

I normally love this app and use it all the time! But now my parents can’t make a payment through the app and I’ve tried to email customer support with no response. I have sent out multiple emails in a weeks time. And still nothing! It would be nice to have help figuring out why my stripe account disconnected… and I got ahold of stripe and they said it’s all on childrens journal side. So frustrating!

Crashes

App crashes a lot. I like it, but the crashes gotta be fixed

Adding a Parent

Just downloaded the app and trying to set up. It will not allow me to add a parent. Just keeping showing the “loading circle” and never comes up.

Want to love it! Notifications don’t ever work

My child’s home daycare provider chose this platform after I recommended another (used by a coworker’s child’s home daycare). The center we previously attended had their own app that worked well and I LOVED the notifications right on my watch, since I’m a laboratory scientist and can just look at the notification and keep going with my gloves and hazardous fluids, haha. Whelp, this app’s notifications NEVER notify! And this morning I showed up to daycare missing supplies and lost an hour of work (time = money people!) bc I had to drive back home and then back to the daycare to deliver the supplies. PLEASE FIX YOUR NOTIFICATIONS SO THAT THEY NOTIFY!!!!!!!!!! PLEEEAAASE!!! THAT will be worth a 5 star review 🙂 THANK YOU!
