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.

Was good until last update

Now I cannot send messages to the teachers

Technical difficulties

Unable to see how both of my children are doing because of technical difficulties

Unable to access account

I am able to access my account online but not through the app. I tried to reset my password through the app and it didn’t send anything to my email.

Locked out

The app worked great until one day I tried to log in and it just tells me “there was a problem logging you in. Please try again”. No matter what I did it doesn’t work. I rely on the app for updates and now I’m locked out

Not my favorite

This is not my first time having an app to connect me to my daycare providers.
Pros to Kindercare vs others:
-it’s easy to let grandparents see photos
-all the daily details are easy to see in one place for both kids

Negative vs others:
-the only person that can respond to messages is my director. I hate that I cannot just quickly message my child’s teacher and get a response.
-the photos on the main page are too tiny- I had to upload a letter as an image because we couldn’t tell who was who

App lagging

I sent one message to the director and now the message keeps on being sent by itself every two hours each day. I already signed out and deleted the app, but the same thing is happening. Can I have assistance with this matter?!

Time stamps

It would be nice to see what time an event or something is posted to the account with a time stamp. Check in/ out never have posted time.

I AM MAD

Hi, I’m an 11 year old girl who goes to kindercare, and after it everyday, i break out in tears. It is the worst place ever, and the people there are mean and strict. I’ve been having nightmares every night about the things that happen there, and I never get time to play with my friends after school and during the summer. I would not recommend taking you kid 10+ to kindercare.

Update supply notification

The app is coming along well. Been using it from the beginning. I like the new supplies reminder BUT if I receive a request on Friday the reminder the following morning displays on Saturday. Can this be updated to display on Monday please?

Worst Experience

I had the worst experience with my baby. Never again will I be returning to this center!! One of the teachers was being so uncaring as I watched her cry her eyes out. Worst daycare!

Update is terrible

I can’t tell what time or what order things are happening in the feed. The text size is too big and the spacing is so large you have to scroll multiple pages just to see what’s happening today. Condense the view, make the text smaller or give settings/options so I can do it myself. The app is only useful if it can be utilized at a glance as well as in more detail if needed.

Needs revisions

When the employees mark my kids into school and out of school there are no times added just the fact that they have been checked in and out. As a necessity to the parents that use this app. That would be very very helpful. Also when the KinderCare app pops up on my phone for notifications, it should say what the notification is for. Ie need clothes or diapers wipes. Thank you

Please fix the photos…

Before a recent update I would have given the app 5 stars - who made the decision that you can no longer swipe up/down to scroll through photos, but now you have to select each individual picture from a gallery if you want to see the full image?

Goes back “checked out”

Whenever I click on any new notifications, whether it’s an entry for food, potty, or photo- it shows me that my child has “checked out” and the daily report is ready to viewed (which was yesterday’s report that I’ve already viewed). have to close the app and open again to view most recent updates. Basically I keep thinking my child has been checked out whenever it opens up from clicking on the notification. Aside from that, I really appreciate the app providing me a look into my child’s daily schedule. The teachers are great, too :)

Once a day update is terrible!

Recently they switched to sending a report at the end of the day. Earlier we could follow along and plan better

Can’t compose messages

With the most recent update, we can’t compose messages to send to our kinder care center. There’s no compose button. We can only reply to messages that were in our inbox before the update.

Needing to see in real time

As a parent it would be helpful to see things in real time, not after my children have been checked out of the center.

Love the app

Love the app and the peace of mind it provides us while our kiddo is at the Kcare center. Just wish the app was compatible with the Apple Watch. That would make it a 5 star app!
