Bug Fixes

User reviews

Always blank screen or closing

The app has some issues, when it is time to check this app to approve documents it is always opening to the logo and closing out or you click on the app and it just a white screen. After deleting rebooting and redownloading same issue has gone on for the past 6 months. I end up having to go onto my laptop to approve docs that were supposed to be easily and readily accessible with this app. Just another app on the phone for companies try to make you use that has zero efficiency for its users. Wouldn’t recommend this for Kindercare operations across the board.

Horrible

This is a terrible app. The back button often overlaps the time on the top left of the screen, making it extra hard to go back to the previous screen. There is no way to track what you did, so it’s useless in that sense, because you can’t even see your log history. It doesn’t fit the purpose of a logging app if your can’t have access to what you did or even to check if your check in/out went through or not. Such a frustrating experience.

Slow, will not scan

It’s a very basic app so not sure why it takes forever to scan the QR code to sign in/out of daycare. I have to stand there trying to scan for almost a minute sometimes. Other parents have the same issue and a line builds. Needs some sort of update to address this. Otherwise, it works. Just a pain to use.

Frustrating app

This is my first time using this app and it was working for me about a week until my child’s school needed me to create a digital signature. That’s when it stopped working for me. It’s very frustrating when I can’t add a note or even get out of a note.

Does not work

Always get an error message about the clock on my phone not being in sync with the app. I wasn’t even aware the clock on an iPhone could be changed!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. Please double check that you have downloaded the app that corresponds to the state you live in. That is the usual cause of the message you are receiving. If you confirm that you have the correct version of the app and are still receiving this error, please do not hesitate to give our support line a call and we will gladly troubleshoot this issue with you and get it resolved. Though it should not be required, if you wish to check your iPhone clock settings you can access them by clicking on the Settings app , then select General from the menu, and finally select the Date & Time option.
