9.6.4

July 11, 2026

What's New in This Update We've given the app a major upgrade. A redesigned Dashboard and a brand-new Tags feature to help your team work faster and track child movement with more confidence. New Dashboard Experience Your home screen has been rebuilt from the ground up. Everything you need for daily operations is now cleaner, faster, and right at your fingertips. Staff Check-In / Check-Out from the Dashboard — No more navigating away. Check staff in and out directly from your home screen. Quick Add Button — Add a Room, Child, Staff member, or Tag in one tap. Rooms Overview Widget — See all your rooms at a glance: how many children are checked in, staff presence, and room status — all on one screen. Customisable Widgets — Rearrange your dashboard to match how your team works. Use the new drag-and-drop layout to add, remove, and reorder widgets in a flexible masonry grid. Room Card Settings — Control exactly what information appears on each room card. New: Tags Feature Track where children are throughout the day — beyond just check-in and check-out. Tag In / Tag Out — Log child and staff movement across locations like the playground, bus, or kitchen. Movement Timeline — View a full record of each child's tag movements, room changes, and attendance in one place. Quick Summary on Dashboard — Tap any child avatar in Room Details to see a pop-up timeline of their day: check-in, check-out, tags, and key activities — without leaving the screen. Child Movement Report — A new report that combines attendance, tags, and room movements in a single view. Flexible Settings — Optionally auto check-in when tagging, or auto tag-out on check-out. Configure in Operations > Attendance Settings. Update now and explore the new experience.

Response from developer

Outdoor activity alert…non existent.

Would love to see an added feature where the centre inputs when the children are going outdoors.
In Canada there is legislation that the children need to be outside one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.
I would like status updates of when child is going outside and returning inside to ensure this is not being neglected nor abused by having them out longer than they should/not going out at all.

Update broke the app

App keeps saying update but there’s nothing to update. Can’t use the app now.
