Used to be great

Ever since they updated this app to take photos to check in/out I cannot seem to log in!! It takes forever to upload my pictures and sometimes I don’t even check my kids in, which is a problem if I can’t log in and receive updates from school

Check in and check out times are missing

I must have recently updated the app after getting my phone replaced and my sons check outs no longer showing up at all. Check ins show up but no timestamp. This seems like a huge safety issue especially for parents that split care.

Also when attempting to download images and videos, you now have to CLICK on the image and videos instead of having a download button. Then what makes it worse, the buttons to comment, share, add to album and download are cut off by the bottom menu.

Why did you try and “fix” what wasn’t broken.


Lastly, the app said my password was exposed in a data leak elsewhere. I only use my password with Kindercare for security reasons. It turns out 4 days ago, a data breach happened at a California Daycare. My assumption is it was a kindercare employee because I don’t use the password anywhere but Kindercare.

Pictures/videos

Is there a way you can make an update to the app so we can actually scroll through photos and videos? Instead of having to click back to the main gallery to see the next one?

Great app, can use updates

This app is very helpful, but I wish there was a way you can choose what notifications you get to your devices. Because my child is less than a year, it’s annoying to get a notification about a “new toilet entry” being recorded. Unfortunately there is no way to just choose to have that to toggle off, despite wanting to receive other notifications.
