Reply to message does not accept inputs

Replying teacher’s message simply does not work, no matter how I tap it, doesn’t activate text inputs.

Barely functional

Our daycare made a switch to Kaymbu when they were bought out 9 months ago and it’s been a mess. Half the time, it doesn’t load or update properly, the interface can be very hard to see, and notifications come in sporadically (sometimes not at all). It’s been a very frustrating experience as a parent. The daycare is wonderful and I can tell they’ve had it with this app, too.

Kaymbu

I have used Kaymbu as an educator and as a parent at two different schools. Each school uses it differently but one thing I can say is that the customer service is always timely and the parents get the information they need. My first center used it developmentally and attached the skills to cater to each individual child. Parents and extended family loved seeing a snap shot of their child’s day. The second place I used it and the school used it more for daily documentation and mostly to send bulk pictures. Both worked well. I will say I wish that some features for the parent updated in real time where the parents would get notified but you have to have the app to get notifications for the child’s whole day. Also from an admin side it would be nice to be able to toggle through one child’s profile easier. All in all the app works well for multiple needs.

Truncated subject lines

No way to see the full subject of messages in the app. So there is often missing info in the messages without that context.
