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! ### 1/5 — Want to love it! Notifications don’t ever work *2020-08-05* 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!!!

I like it, but the crashes gotta be fixed ### 4/5 — Adding a Parent *2021-05-27* 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. ### 5/5 — Best child care app in the market *2020-06-25, version 2.3.7* I've been searching for this kinda app for long, this is the best ### 5/5 — Highly recommend this app *2020-06-25, version 2.3.7* Great app ### 5/5 — A super time-saver app *2020-06-25, version 2.3.7* This app helps in updating the parents about their child's activitis at the center instantly and the pick-up process has become super easy too. plus i can send invoices, manage different locations, monitor room ratios and do a lot more much efficiently now ### 5/5 — Payments and invoicing has become so easy. *2020-06-25, version 2.3.7* Parents can pay fees online. This app lets me send invoices and recieve payments online from the parents. ### 5/5 — No more late payments! *2020-06-25, version 2.3.7* Sending paper invoices to each child earlier was a big task! plus sometimes parents would "CLAIM" not receiving them, but with child journal, I can send the invoices within the app as well as email it to the parents and they can pay online too. Managing payments is soooo much easier now! ### 5/5 — Digital invoicing made my life easier *2020-05-18* Working at a Montessori preschool you have parents picking up their children at different times. I had to stay after my time to ensure each parent was getting their invoice. So inconvenient! I no longer have to do that! I create digital invoices within the app and send them to each parent so that they could receive them in their email. It’s truly a lifesaver and a timesaver. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Saves on school supplies *2020-05-15* Absolutely fascinated with the fact that I am now able to save money on resources. I no longer have to récord my tasks on paper. I simply open the app and everything is organized in one digital platform. ### 5/5 — LONG WAY TO GO! *2019-04-24* Great tool if the app worked more consistently. Push notifications don’t work. There is no option for group messaging to parents and the UI looks old school. ### 5/5 — Trying it out *2019-03-22* The usability seems to be ok. We have the ability to create an invoice but cannot take payments from parents. We look forward for the payment feature. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
