Can’t sign-in

Just because I use Gmail doesn’t mean that I want Gmail to be linked to this app. The browser website understands this and lets me set whatever password, but the app insist that link my Gmail. No.

Gets the job done

Only issue I’ve heard from parents is that they wish they could put in notes after drop off, they say the app locks them out from inputting notes right as the child gets checked in by the school

Great idea, but needs work

I like the general concept of this app, but it needs a lot of work. The message system glitches every time I try to send a message to a parent. It doesn’t let me see what I’m typing. Also, when trying to tag children in a photo with a certain activity, half the time the activity isn’t there to tag. On children’s daily reports, the font overlaps and you can’t read it sometimes. Lastly, the app should be designed so that every center that uses it has to have real time updates for parents. Otherwise, parents can’t see any info about their child’s activities, meals, diaper changes, etc until the end of the day. This app needs a major update. When will it receive one??

Needs work

I hate that music stops playing whenever I open the app. Also with the newest update everything is spaced out more making it harder to read the individual profiles, and now it’s glitching and overlapping text when I switch between kids profiles
