Spam

The app I’m forced to use for daycare is now spamming me with stuff for sale.

Janky Problematic App

Ok when it works but regularly has problems and feels inconsistent and low quality. Too unreliable.

How not to do error handling

Having a button not reacting to anything instead why is it not reacting to anything - at a not really used place as child sign in/out is not considered a good practice pretty much since the 80s.

When signing in a child via pin, there is a signature field. Despite that field the application ask for a signature in the pop up. Where these developer learned programming?!

So clunky

Needs major improvement

App offers everything I don’t need

The app has many options but trying to connect my account with my child is impossible. There’s no way to delete your account from the app. There’s even a shop but not helpful options to do what it should be doing.
