### 5/5 — Unable to login

*2026-06-08*

Just signed up, can’t login after creating account

### 1/5 — Password limited to 16 characters??? What is this 2010?

*2025-12-14*

I can’t even use a standard secure password because there’s a 16 character limit. That’s hackable with a laptop. Sheesh.

### 1/5 — Forgot password not working

*2025-02-04*

I forgot my password on the app. I went to the “forgot my password” notification and it does nothing. It doesn’t acknowledge my touch. Turned the app off then on and still the same.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry for the inconvenience! This issue was related to the most recent iOS upgrade and did not affect older versions. We've since resolved it. Please update the app to the latest version. The "Forgot Password" feature should work properly now. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team at https://www.kidcheck.com/support/.

### 1/5 — Notification don’t vibrate phone

*2025-02-04*

Notifications changed from text to push notifications and they don’t vibrate phone. Only show up

### 1/5 — Why

*2024-06-09*

I am convinced that the people who made this app never had to use it themselves. There is no way anyone could have built this, used or tested it, and thought “yep, this works.” Special shoutout goes to the additional guardian account creation workflow, which has got to be the most frustrating process I’ve ever encountered in an app. If you’re reading this to evaluate app options, do yourself a favor and pick a different app. If you are reading this because you have to use this app for your own children, I’m so sorry.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-10-01*

Set up an account and then all info put in is gone when I needed to check in.  Trying to re-do it again and app keeps resetting

### 1/5 — Can’t check-in

*2023-03-25*

Worst interface I have ever seen.
 Everything is not intuitive.  The functionality on the web page is missing from the app, and the functionality from the app is missing from the website.

### 1/5 — Completely unusable

*2022-06-05*

I would give this zero stars if I could. I am shocked that the swim camp we are attending is requiring us to use this. I’ve just spent 25 minutes trying to get it set up with my husband and I listed as guardians. Buttons are untappable preventing you from saving any information. 

There are several days when we have older grandparents picking the kids up there is no way they will be able to figure this out.

### 1/5 — App glitches

*2022-04-07*

App glitches when trying to input dependent information on date of birth. Makes app unusable

### 2/5 — Needs refreshing

*2022-02-25*

Super glitchy. Buttons are not working and will not save information. Keeps kicking me out.
