What a Disaster
It’s like the makers of this app created a solution to a problem that didn’t exist and then lobbied the right politician to make our tax dollars fund it…. People have been waiting in lines for centuries and guess what, we still have to wait in line with this app. Someone still has to call our child’s name to get in the car and someone still has to make sure she gets in the right car. We just added an extra fee and extra steps to school pickup because some out of touch administrator or school board member felt it was necessary.
What an absolute disaster this is! 468 steps to set up, dozens of papers + notifications on the other 200 apps required for the school with absolutely no explanation for how any of it works. I have to delegate access to people who also pick my child up or might only pick them up 1 or 2x in a school year? So now not only do I have to go through this convoluted process, so does my husband, our babysitter and every emergency contact?
And it wants to track my location? That’s not a no but a heck no. I don’t can’t what authority the school thinks they have, they absolutely are NOT tracking my location and I have it disabled. If that creates a problem, then the lovely makers of this unnecessary app will have a legitimate problem which they created and they can solve.

Horrible app
I hate that my kids school switched to this app this school year. Before Pikmykid picking up my kids from school was easy and uneventful. Now we have to use this amateur app. It’s incredibly confusing to change who is picking up your child on a given day and if you have multiple kids you have to make the change separately for each kid. There are blatant typos and grammatical errors in the UI. Text and buttons overflow like bad CSS. The app constantly logs me out, requiring that I log in every time I need to use it. It also requires that you give it background location permission otherwise you have to launch it when picking up, which is a pain. Based on that quality of this company’s software there is no way I would trust them with my location data.

Not reliable
This app does not notify changes on time. I submitted a change on my kid dismissal and nobody was notified, then my kid had to wait at the office to be picked up.
Privacy
Forces user to give location. Unclear about location privacy and what SDKs are used (SDKs are component that most developers use. They often collect private information and sell them, so I can only assume that’s what happening here if not very clear otherwise).
Required credentials every time
very bad experience even by enabling Biometric , if you open the App next day again we need to provide all the credentials
