Calendar permission is not given, and I don't want to give permission. The app doesn't allow to not pop up this notification again and again and again ### 3/5 — Asked to login twice a day *2026-04-14, version 4.9.27* Have to keep logging in every single time when dropping off and picking up. happens when phone language is non English. Also, the auto translation is helpful but unnecessary.. it should give a choice for parents to translate or not ### 5/5 — Educación *2026-04-02, version 4.9.27* Me mantiene al tanto de las actividades de mi bebé ### 5/5 — Happy Mommy *2026-03-30, version 4.9.26* A wonderful app, that encourages participation, allows for easy engagement and excellent communication ### 5/5 — Perfecto *2026-03-25, version 4.9.26* 😍 ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-03-17, version 4.9.26* It’s a good app. Helps me keep in touch with the teachers and the activities at school. ### 5/5 — Good afternoon *2026-03-14, version 4.9.26* It’s a great idea to make a list of activities ### 5/5 — ¡Genial! *2026-03-12, version 4.9.26* Nos ayuda a gestionar como padres las actividades de nuestro hijo. ### 5/5 — Great for communication *2026-02-23, version 4.9.26* I love that i can easily message any teacher at the school regarding my child and any activity. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-13, version 4.9.26* Very informative, love the interactivity ### 5/5 — Perfecta *2026-02-09, version 4.9.26* Muy útil para las actividades de mi niña ### 5/5 — The Best App for Parents *2026-02-05, version 4.9.26* Love this! Connecting with teachers and keeping up with my kids ### 5/5 — Learning genie *2026-01-20, version 4.9.26* An amazing app that my son’s school uses. Great for keeping up with my son’s school schedule and how he is doing in school. Also helps my family stay connected! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-20, version 4.9.26* Works well for our needs! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! I try to use it daily! *2026-01-18, version 4.9.26* It’s a great app to keep informed and in touch with the head start staff about anything and everything. Which makes it easy because they are great about reminders. I absolutely ZLOBE the in kind reports. Money gets donated to our children’s schools for the everyday activities that we are doing anyway. It’s woth the five or ten minutes to do! I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great App for parents *2026-01-14, version 4.9.26* I love this app and being able to see what my child is doing during their day and all the pictures and updates is awesome ! Great app every parent should have. ### 5/5 — School app *2026-01-08, version 4.9.25* My son love next door foundation ### 5/5 — Alianni Gonzalez *2026-01-05, version 4.9.25* El mejor lugar para tus hijos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app sucks *2026-03-23, version 4.9.26* It’s a very unorganized app and shows children that it’s okay to be on devices . We should not have to rely on an app to teach our children ### 1/5 — Worst APP on the market *2025-07-15, version 4.9.22* Constantly crashes, never loads, freezes all the time, randomly clitches ### 1/5 — Garbage app, full of bugs *2025-05-13* This app is very literally worse than nothing. First off, it’s extremely buggy: random logouts, “request failed,” recent chat messages only showing up if I leave the chat function and enter again. There’s also missing functionality, like the ability to swipe through pics sent by teachers. Worst of all, it can’t distinguish between alerts, so I have to open my phone in the middle of meetings to see what notifications are for in case it’s important. It’s usually not…. Just an interruption to let me know my son had a bowel movement. Great. Critical info. ### 1/5 — Security issues *2024-10-08, version 4.9.13* Someone joined my chat as a family member that was not permitted to do so, as my code has not been shared in any way by me or the teachers. And now we have no way to verify who this person was but they had access to photos of my children at school & information about where they go to school. ### 1/5 — Won’t even let me use it *2023-11-28, version 4.9.5* My sons teachers have given me 3 different codes to try to register for the app and every time it tells me it’s invalid and it doesn’t even have my email in the system but I keep getting emails directly from LearningGenie - Parent that provides me with a parent code and my login at this point I’m just going to delete the entire app because there is no point of it being on my phone taking up storage space if it refuses to work for me. Would give no stars if possible. ### 1/5 — Won’t let me do assignments *2023-11-18, version 4.9.5* My assignment all show completed I have only completed the first week of November. On the school side it shows I only did one day of inkinds. I’ve reported the issue several times. My child’s school is losing funding due to this issue ### 1/5 — Poor performance *2023-10-25, version 4.9.4* Poor performance. I have to sign in everyday on my phone. That’s frustrating ### 1/5 — Such a clunky app *2023-05-17, version 4.8.9* Intermittently stops working. You’ve to manually refresh the timeline to show updates. Messaging is a disaster. Sometimes, the message recipients names get mixed up. Inferior app compared to other daycare apps. ### 1/5 — Help!!! *2022-11-25, version 4.8.7* I keep getting this error and can’t see anything in the app “A server with the specified host name can’t be found.”. What does this even mean?! ### 1/5 — Tamanho reduzido na tela *2022-01-28, version 4.6.9* Última atualização deixou o programa todo pequeno na tela, não dá pra ver nada ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy happy *2026-08-31, version 4.9.31* Love it ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2026-08-29, version 4.9.31* Me encanta , puedo ver lo que hicieron en el día es perfecta ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-28, version 4.9.31* App is pretty easy to use ### 5/5 — Great tool for parents *2026-08-20, version 4.9.30* Easy to use, love that I can communicate with my children teachers and staff through the app ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-15, version 4.9.30* Such an easy app to navigate and communicate with my child’s teacher. ### 5/5 — Helpful tool *2026-08-14, version 4.9.30* It has really helped me engage more with my granddaughters and to give us new ideas so that we don’t get bored doing the same activities. It’s very user friendly and has loads of fun beneficial, and helpful tools. ### 5/5 — Tracking baby’s progress *2026-07-12, version 4.9.28* Help me to keep in track with my baby’s progress and even accelerates it ### 5/5 — Practica y fácil de usar *2026-06-26, version 4.9.28* Siempre puedo usarla para revisar la alimentación de cada día de mis hijos, si comieron o si tuvieron algunas actividades checando fotos e información detallada. Además subir información de los niños. ### 5/5 — Muy lindo *2026-05-16, version 4.9.28* Me encanta, es muy informativo ### 5/5 — Works great! *2026-04-15, version 4.9.27* My son’s daycare uses Learning Genie to keep us updated throughout the day. It is perfect for the purpose. The handful of times I’ve submitted bug reports, the help team is quick to respond. I appreciate it so much! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
