This invariably happens during drop off when I am in a hurry. I don’t know if it is my nursery but I often done get sound with the videos. It would be nice to be able to export the learning stories and snapshots to pdf so I can have a proper record of my child’s development outside of the app. ### 1/5 — Scrolling / downloading photos *2026-07-20, version 3.63.0* The photo experience has really gone downhill. A couple of years ago you could scroll through photos easily and download them in seconds. Now the photos take ages to load as you scroll, and every single photo you want to save needs individual permission. The download button itself often takes so long to appear. Waiting for photos to upload is just as painful. ### 1/5 — Deleted data and uncontactable *2026-07-15, version 3.63.0* I wanted to keep my child’s learning journey at nursery. Printed and to be kept. However, the nursery setting couldn’t get the app to work to allow me to download my data. They tried contacting the company. I wrote a form requesting my right for data. All ignored. I’ve tried for 2 years! That’s how bad it is. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-07-14, version 3.63.0* It’s a good helpful app, but it would be helpful if when there are comments made, you could reply and the person could then see them and respond back. It would be helpful if the photos were dated. And it would be good if the login page had different names for each setting. My daughter attends forest school and nursery and there is nothing to differentiate which is which at the login screen. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-07-10, version 3.63.0* Amazing app tells me all about my daughter’s day!! ### 1/5 — Photo loading / download *2026-07-07, version 3.63.0* The time it takes to load a single photo then the lottery you take on trying to download a photo is actually ridiculous. It can take 5+ mins to download 5 photos and even then it downloads two of the same photo rather than the one you clicked on. It has got so much worse ### 5/5 — Mr yisa *2026-06-22, version 3.62.2* Excellent ### 5/5 — So cool *2026-06-04, version 3.62.2* Lovely ### 4/5 — Mr.S *2026-05-08, version 3.61.0* It would be a lot easier to keep my account logged in, as each I get a notification I have to put the password again ### 1/5 — App fault *2026-05-06, version 3.61.0* I am Constantly getting issues with this app and the screen becomes jumpy this does not happen on any others app. I have reinstalled which fixed it previously however it now continues despite reinstalling ## Frequently asked questions about ParentZone ### What does ParentZone do?
