Doesn’t even open
App doesn’t even open. It’s crashing every time . Restarted mobile, installed the app 3 times but absolutely no use.
UX/UI is atrocious
Very clunky, glitchy, and notifications only work intermittently. Super frustrating.
Crashes
Use to work fine. Now it just crashes every time I login. Tried deleting and redownloading but still crashes.
Well intended app, awful UX/UI
This app was clearly designed by someone who understands a day care setting but does not understand how to make a usable/useful app.
I want to see how my kid is doing during the day and message his teachers.
There is too much clutter from unused features and clumsy flows for the features that I do care about.
When the company gets bigger, hire a UX person to spend a month or two to clean this up and find a dev team who can implement the enhancements.

Feature packed, but far too buggy!!!
I like the amount of features packed into this app, but my gosh…!!! This app crashes on me every time I try to write my child’s teacher a note! EVERY TIME! It crashed at least ten times the first day I used it and updated my user profile.
I’d suggest the developers fix the bugs before they give any attention to more features. The features don’t matter if the rest of the app crashes every time I use it!

Needs lot of work
I’m a mobile app developer and this app makes me cringe! I would be embarrassed if i had built app this bad released on the App Store 🥴
Great app
I love it! The people complaining about it looking outdated, get over yourself. Does it really matter!? At the end of the day I don't care what an app looks like, I just care that I'm able to get the info I need about my kids daily. Which my daycare does a great job of updating through the app. It's easy to navigate as well. So for the parent's who aren't tech savvy it's a great and simple app.

Unbelievably poor user interface
The app is not at all intuitive. If I select my only child then messages it asks for which child. I only have one child in the app. It is low budget and I really wish my child’s school used a different all.
Easy to use!!
I highly recommend the LifeCubby app. It’s helpful for getting reports from school, picture updates, evaluating goals and progress, and communicate with my kids’ teachers. It’s very easy to use!!
Love using LifeCubbyFamily
This is great app, and makes communication between parents and teachers easy. It also keeps everything in one place, which is helpful.
What an abomination!
This app is garbage. Even the simplest function is overly complicated. You can’t pay tuition within this app either, which requires visiting their awful website. It feels like it was built by an intern developer from the 1990s. Avoid if at all possible!!!
Unusable
This app is intended to be the primary communication tool between the daycare and my family. The daycare expects us to reply promptly to communications through the app. However, notifications don't work for iPhone (yes, I have notifications turned on in Settings).
The app does not perform it's primary function and may place my family at risk of adverse effects of missed communication.
I am reconsidering sending my child to a school that uses this ineffective and possibly dangerous app.

Great App to keep school and home connected
We have used LifeCubbyFamily App for over 2 years. It’s a great way to keep families informed on what is happening at school and vice versa. Parents love getting pictures thru the app and being able to stay informed about what is happening at school. You will love it too!
Parent
This app is good for knowing what is going on at the preschool, as we don’t always drop off/pick up with the same schedule each week. The app could definitely be improved to be more interactive and responsive, but it keeps me up to date on the week’s important news and updates.
70% Unresponsive / Bad Navigations
Our daycares have always had some kind of o line app to track, but this is 100% the worst of all of them. The interface is terrible, unresponsive. Most of the time it times out and I have to close and reopen it until I give up and check back another day.
Pros and cons
We downloaded as our kids’ preschool uses it to keep parents up to date. We pay $40/child/year to use, and I can honestly say that I don’t know if it’s worth it, as sometimes the app is slow and unresponsive and I have to restart several times before it works. Added to that, if doesn’t play the videos uploaded by the teachers for us. And it never has in the almost 1.5 years that we’ve had it.
While we understand that we “have” to pay, it would be nice if regular updates were at least provided. In this day and age, it’s a tad ridiculous to know that at the end of it all, we’ll be paying $400 for the app with important features not working or addressed

Old looking
The app feels and looks very outdated...pictures are occasionally stretched. It needs to be updated
Very slow and dark mode problems
I’ll update whenever this gets fixed but this app loads so slowly from view to view. I’ve got an iPhone XS and have 4G cellular and 1Gb speeds at home. Not sure why it takes a while to load from screen to screen.
Also, all your form inputs disappear when a user is on dark mode for iOS. Example, if you are picking a time - the hours and minutes values disappear and you can’t see what you’re typing. Plenty of people are now using dark mode regularly on their phone.
Let me know if you are contracting a product designer. I would love to redo the UI and UX of the app to make it seamless for both parents and teachers.

Can’t see times
Just a heads up - if you updated you iPhone and switched the appearance to “dark” mode then you won’t be able to see the time wheel when entering information or the text shows up in white in a white background so you can’t see what you’re typing either. If you switch it back to “light” mode it works just fine.

CANT SEE TEXT? READ FOR SOLUTION
If you cannot see text, turn your phone off of dark mode. The app does not work for text with dark mode.
