Not good

I’m a teacher and parent, and our school recently switched over from Brightwheel. I’ve also used Procare before that. This app has the worst UI of them all! I hate how everything is buried under a drop down menu. We should be able to add multiple children to multiple classrooms. This app is NOT user-friendly at all! The last thing I want to be doing when I’m supposed to be focusing on my class is clicking through 5 different pathways to get to attendance or something! The messaging system is awful too. I really dislike this app. The only nice thing is I can easily switch between my employee and parent accounts, and the documents section is straightforward. Please make this app easier for teachers to use!!!

Sehr Praktisch und sehr hilfreich

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback! Es freut uns riesig zu hören, dass Famly so praktisch und hilfreich für dich ist. 💜 Liebe Grüße, Monica von Famly

Bulk download not possible

The app is alright but it fails to allow users to download photos in bulk with their time stamp. You can tag your kid over time and then you will have to find the day and download photos one by one which is annoying

:(

My nursery have moved to this app and it’s not th e best
Why would I want to see group observations? I don’t care about other peoples children (also not keen on other people having photos of my child
On their phone) nor do I want to see photos of the back of my child’s head.
I miss parentzone

Glitching

The app keeps glitching for example it only gives me a child pick up time of 15:00, it won’t let me change the collection password although I’m the primary contact. I have deleted the app and re-downloaded the app in the hope it’ll fix the glitches but it now says there is a connection issue with the login so I can’t even get back on the app!
