Terrible app
I don’t get any notifications, the only advice from the company is to delete the app and reinstall it, which I have done 3 times and each time I get something new happening, but still no posts. The centre have tried contacting the company and their advice is only ever delete and reinstall
Attachments not working
After the app update a couple of day ago, I cannot open any attachments in news feed and all documents links shows as broken. Plus private messages disappear after sending.
Terrible
Recently updated but there still haven’t been any improvements. I have a second child in daycare now and switching between the profiles is such a pain. Not to mention nothing on the app is loading today. Please listen to your reviews and fix up your app!
Frustrating
My child is at two centres that use Kinderm8. I don’t like that I can’t switch between centres within the app & need to use the website for the preschool. The most recent change where both parents need the app isn’t great. My partner doesn’t use apps & he shouldn’t need to download something to sign his child into a kiosk that only requires a number & pin. I am the main account holder, there is no need for two of us to have the app. One of our centres posts nothing on the app & we receive emails. It is completely unnecessary. I much preferred the Xplor system with the QR code.. Emergency contacts are able to sign in without the app yet parents aren’t? All communication goes to my inbox, I’ve never accessed anything other than account balance through Kinderm8 for our preschool. Even the statement goes to my inbox.
Please reconsider this recent change, not everyone wants apps & nor should they need one to sign their child into care. I find the app incredibly clunky, finding when my child was signed in & out is an adventure in itself. I liked with our previous app that an alert came up when my partner signed our child in/out. The toileting info isn’t as comprehensive as Storypark. This app may be handy for educators but as a parent, I have been very disappointed by it. The latest change is absolutely ridiculous & unnecessary.

Not user friendly
Frustrating app, without useful features- such as being able to sign in multiple children at once (instead you have to spend time clicking through each child) - suggested update please! The home tab of the app looks great and colourful, but you quickly realise next to nothing is intuitive or even useful. Notification settings are also very strange and inconsistent. I never thought I’d miss the functionality of other daycare centres we’ve been with.

Horrible
Worst app ever, notifications not working for updates even if you turn it on. Only works when someone likes it.
Interface is clunky, sometimes works, mostly not. Horrible timeline. Not sure why our centre has tie up with them.
Engaged support and was not very helpful. All they do was point fingers to the childcare centre.

Terrible app for families
This app has gotten even worse since the major update they did. Every family at our centre has problems to the point that the centre has had to start emailing us as well as notifying us through the because the app’s notification settings are weird (you get updated when someone “likes” something but not when a new news item is posted!). It’s also super buggy - I have to refresh, or open and close, multiple times just to get my update to load when I open to check my kid’s day. On the other hand, the educators find it easy to use, which is more important. And is also where the app developers bring in the money, because the centres are the ones paying for it, so I’m not surprised they’ve forgotten about end user experience.

Won’t log in
Doesn’t allow me to log in on the app but allows me to log on the website, I have deleted and reinstalled the app over 15 times a day what a joke
Not good
The app does not notify you and it is not user friendly half the functions you can’t use either
Updated version is a nightmare
Since the rebrand I no longer get any notifications which my partner still receives as he didn’t install the update. App is mega glitchy, I’ve had to reinstall multiple times for it to sync. Looks better but UX is awful and no updates coming through. Please fix this.
Not a great app at all
The app used to barely work. Was glitchy the best of times and wouldn’t get notifications for the things I wanted and would get 100 notifications for the things I didn’t want. Since the update (and I didn’t think it could get worse) but it really has. Daily charts/observations etc come up as blank and you need to open and close the app and then tap around a few times before it actually loads and even the when you click to read it- it doesn’t open. The notifications in the corner never go away. I don’t know who is designing and updating this app but they really are not doing a great job. If you are a daycare - use a different program!!

Unstable and slow to refresh
Some good ideas but often doesn’t refresh with data and freezes with current version.
Medical notes has to enter day by day not for a range of dates.

Garbage
Updated recently and haven’t been able to log in since. No error.. just doesn’t log in. Garbage app.
Can’t log in
Haven’t been able to login since Christmas. It just spins and never lets me past authentication
Terrible
Can’t login on the app. It keeps loading and loading. I know the login details are correct as I can use the website version
Won’t even open since the update
The old version worked well. Since the update I can’t even get it to load, I just get a blank, buffering screen constantly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app three times and it still won’t work.
It is not very good
I had to log out and back in just to turn on notifications? And then when I tried to upload a profile photo, I also had to log out, and when I logged back in, my photo hadn’t updated.
I might just use the website for now.

Terrible app
Terrible app for anyone who actually wants to read about their child’s day at daycare. The app has never been great but the latest ‘update’ is just shocking. Using it for 4 children makes it borderline unbearable to use as it’s that painful trying to go through it. Not to mention at this point, almost all the features can’t even be used. On top of that for about 3 months now I don’t get notifications from the app regarding any updates on the kids day or messages from their educators, despite notifications being turned on and nothing preventing it on my end. In comparison to some of the other apps out their for use in daycare centres, this has got to be one of the worst ones.

New update broke the app
Thanks to the new update it’s logged me out and even with the correct information now refuses to log me in so I can no longer get updates on my child don’t know why it needed the update it did as it worked fine before
