### 5/5 — Best part of my day!

*2026-08-06, version 7.1.1*

Getting to see my daughter develop new skills and learning new things is so exciting I love opening up the app because I know I’m going to witness something new and amazing!

### 5/5 — My daycare uses this

*2026-07-20, version 7.1.1*

My daycare uses this and both staff and parents really like this app. It’s easy to use and the message system is good

### 3/5 — Needs the capability to swipe photos

*2026-05-14, version 7.1.0*

Overall a nice app to monitor what my child is up to! It’s really annoying to not able to swipe through photos though!!

### 5/5 — Teacher for butterfly TODDLER ROOM

*2026-05-07, version 7.1.0*

I really enjoy using this app for my classroom…😍

### 4/5 — Daily pictures of our kids

*2026-05-01, version 7.1.0*

Wish the resolution was better

### 1/5 — Quite unstable

*2026-04-18, version 7.1.0*

Not sure I understand what’s happening with this app! It works one day and then looks all messed up the next (yes I do updates regularly). Also the posted photos of the kids are so horrible to view unless you download them to your phone if you need to enlarge and find your kid. Strange that in 2026 an app behaved like this

### 3/5 — Best experience

*2026-02-26, version 7.0.5*

Amazing app for any organized structured daycare.

### 1/5 — New update feels sloppy

*2026-02-23, version 7.0.5*

The initial tutorial got stuck had to force kill the app, then why do i have to click two times on every video to watch it. the favorite icon disappears every time you click it. if you refeesh now (pull from top) then app takes you to somewhere down in the oage and doesn't remain at the latest update. the close icon is so hard to find. I am curious if guys cut corners to make one of those hybrid apps to save on development cost

### 1/5 — Hate the UX

*2026-02-18, version 7.0.5*

Our daycare moved from Famly to this app and I hate it. Photos are all low res and they try to sell you high res ones. Seriously? The feed is not user friendly, you have photos mixed in with updates on diaper changes, no real time nap info. You can’t send an attachment via private message unless you start a new message. Wish we used the Famly app still.

### 3/5 — Very Clunky & Non- Intuitive

*2025-12-04, version 7.0.2*

As a parent the most important are the photos. That part of the app is not nice to use. These are the following issues: 

1. The photos take a long time to load 
2. The photo gallery doesn’t allow you to swipe through photos 
3. In order to download photos - you have to press two different buttons. Previously there was a simple button for downloading. Seems the latest update made it more cumbersome to download on iOS 26. 
4. The downloading of photos and videos takes a very long time. 
5. Videos have similar issues of the user interface and requires several presses to play or save a video. 

(Please note that I also have the month subscription so I can download the HD photos.) 

This app would benefit from a user interface overhaul to make it seamless to use. And the fact that there is a gallery and you can’t simply swipe through is kind of embarrassing and unforgivable. 

Looking forward to seeing these issues solved.
