### 1/5 — Terrible app. Use a different one

*2021-02-23, version 2.12.6*

My daycare uses this app. It is down probably once a month with issues for over 2 weeks at a time. It often glitches and we see the same posts several times. Also, something weird happens to the pictures and it downgraded the quality to looking like something from a 2006 camera phone.

### 1/5 — Crashes, everytime

*2020-09-11, version 2.12.3*

Required to use this for after school care, but it has never worked. Wish our school district could pick apps that work.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2020-08-21, version 2.12.1*

It downloaded to my phone but app won’t open:(

### 1/5 — Far inferior to other daycare apps

*2018-12-13, version 2.7.2*

Our daycare center switched to Daycare Works several months ago. We were previously using another app and quite honestly, InSiteConnect is HORRIBLE from a user interface perspective. It’s difficult and non-intuitive to read the jumbled mess when I’m trying to check in on my childrens’ day. So visually unappealing. Some recommendations: organize the day in chronological order, separate children, add a communication tool for parent and teachers to directly message, post check in and check out times, use simple color coding and/or icons to differentiate different categories of events in order to make easier to read (ex. meals have a red food icon, naps a great bed icon). Lots of ways this app can be improved.

### 1/5 — Bad bad bad

*2018-03-07, version 2.6.6*

This app is TERRIBLE from a parent perspective. The organization of information is so bad that I consider it to be far inferior even to paper daily sheets for quality of communication. Its  only redeeming features are inherent to any daycare app (I assume): I can theoretically check in on my kids day (if I have time to try to decipher and digest the jumble of notes) and pictures can be posted.

### 1/5 — Crushed right after trying to save a photo in daily insight.

*2017-10-05, version 2.6.1*

Please fix it.

After getting 2.6.1 version, I still see the same issue happening.

### 1/5 — Lacks basic functionality

*2025-07-21, version 2.19.2*

Why is there no Forgot PW button? The app wouldn’t pull my bank info. So I deleted and redownloaded and now none of my PWs work when I’m 100% sure they’re correct. But there’s not even a reset PW button so I’m kicked out. There’s nowhere to ask for help.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2025-01-15, version 2.19.0*

Downloaded, signed in and screen just keeps “loading”. I can’t do anything on it. Absolutely terrible!!!! Not happy at all

### 1/5 — Nothing loads

*2024-08-23, version 2.15.1*

The only feature that works is the QR code. Payment, communication widgets etc all just continuously show as loading

### 1/5 — Terrible for user

*2024-05-14, version 2.14.5*

This app lacks basic functionality. I have to log in every single time I go to use it, which is twice a day to check my kids in and out of school. It doesn’t remember username or password, and doesn’t have Face ID. I don’t understand why anyone would ever choose this app to do anything for their business. It’s frustrating to have to use.

### 1/5 — Pls fix that constant logout issue

*2024-05-12, version 2.14.5*

useless if I have to login everytime I wanna use i

### 1/5 — Please stop logging me out of the app everyday

*2024-05-08, version 2.14.5*

Please stop logging me out of the app everyday. So frustrating having to login in everyday suddenly.

### 1/5 — I can’t wait for my kids to get older

*2024-05-02, version 2.14.5*

So I don’t have to use this app any more.

### 1/5 — Frustrating to use

*2024-05-02, version 2.14.5*

My daycare requires us to use the checkin feature of this app every day. I find the app continuously logs me out requiring I log back in.  There is no support for Face ID. Further the app does not support 1Password or other managers, so when I use 1Password it does not show any logins as being applicable, requiring a search every time.

### 1/5 — A lot of room to improve

*2023-03-17, version 2.14.4*

- Push Notifications system doesn’t work 
- The interface is really poor
- You can’t customize with a picture profile despite the button seems to be editable
- the history goes from bottom to top, which is confusing, since most of apps the history rolls from top to bottom. Would be better see history like a page that old events are in the superior lines not in the bottom. 
- Icon pictures at “insite photos” tab are distorted. 
- it would be AMAZING to have a chat tab to communicate with teachers/school.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-02-02, version 2.14.0*

I hope you enjoy force quitting this app twice every day for it to figure out you are at school - and I hope you enjoy using this lamest, weirdest drop down menu to say that your kids don’t have symptoms.

### 5/5 — Now working great with iOS 11!!!!

*2017-10-05, version 2.6.1*

A big THANK YOU to the developers for actually listening to feedback from users!  Not sure if I had anything to do with it (my prior review was hopefully helpful but also harsh - sorry) but all of my prior issues with the iOS 11 upgrade have been resolved. 

I’m back to saying this has to be the most user-friendly daycare app out there. As a busy parent it allows me to pay easily and on time, but most importantly keeps me updated about my children throughout the day. It’s simple, it’s reliable (again), allows me to stay informed and that’s all I need. 

Thanks again for the recent update, keep up the great work!

### 4/5 — My first one I have no

*2023-06-12*

The only reason that

### 4/5 — Pretty neat app. Few minor fixes and it could be great!

*2020-08-25, version 2.12.1*

Scrolling through the pictures the childcare provider posts is super clunky and inconvenient. I wish you could swipe through them instead if having to back out of the current picture to open another. Ability to zoom in on the picture would also be nice.

### 3/5 — Auto Login feature doesn’t work

*2024-05-03, version 2.14.5*

It would be great if the app could save my user ID or actually have an Auto login feature.  The ideal would be to allow touch login.  With a 12 digit password, I have to go into my password program to retrieve the password to copy in and then entering my full email address for my user ID is just as time consuming.

### 3/5 — Can’t Zoom in or Pinch Images

*2020-09-05, version 2.12.3*

Easy to use, good aesthetics but images are static. Can’t zoom in or pinch images or flip from image to image.

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2024-05-17, version 2.15.1*

Constantly logs me out, so I have to enter username and password each time I pick my kid up. Defeats the purpose, I can just give them the PIN rather than use the app.

### 2/5 — Latest update broke autologin

*2024-05-08, version 2.14.5*

App is very basic, and now the latest update broke the only feature I liked which was autologin..

### 2/5 — Clunky

*2020-09-15, version 2.12.3*

This is what my kiddos preschool uses. It is slow and clunky and doesn’t seem to work well . It makes check in and check out tedious and cumbersome. We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling without any improvements.

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2019-11-28, version 2.9.0*

This app needs some work. I appreciate being able to see my balance however a full statement and ability to download as pdf would be nice. 

Also I do not understand why there is no option save my billing information.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2016-02-06, version 2.0.0*

Since the update yesterday the app crashed at open every time
