### 1/5 — Does load pages

*2025-03-28*

Even though app is updated, still not loading the pages correctly. Schools, please use some other app.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-03-09*

Glitches all the time so you can’t book things in when you really need to.

### 1/5 — Worst school app

*2024-09-18*

This app is the worst school app we have ever used, it crashes all the time, its full of bugs its so bad to use as a parent.. I hope that out school listens to the parents and scraps this app.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2024-09-03*

Appalling functionality. Forced to use it.

### 1/5 — Terrible I can’t believe so many international schools would use this

*2023-12-27*

More often than not, you can’t even log in.
Just awful

### 1/5 — Pages won’t load so can’t book session

*2022-09-03*

This is useless! Pages won’t load so can’t book wrap around care sessions.

### 1/5 — Awful but forced to use it

*2022-08-21*

No facial recognition and auto card fill. Basic things that apps have. The links to book things don’t work. Not ideal when you’re a working parent trying to sort out holiday childcare.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t even load

*2026-06-22*

The loading screen flickers and the app behaves like it’s crashed. I’ve deleted and reinstalled- not great when I’m supposed to be organising my child’s life in term time on this

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-11*

It’s not working, please fix it

### 1/5 — Just one small problem - you cant open the app

*2026-04-27*

The app either constantly crashes or when it loads, complains it can’t load organisations on a red error message on top thats truncated. Can someone pay some good software developers to actually make it work please? Its been like this for 6 months, I don’t know how any school using this is coping with the inflow of complaints! Terrible!

### 1/5 — Always loading

*2026-03-26*

You can’t do anything because it’s always “loading” fixes bugs my arse

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-19*

Perpetual loading screens when attempting to view or accept anything

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-02-13*

Unable to book essential childcare due to app crashing - plus no basics like card memory or autofill make this a painful experience even on the few occasions it does work. I have lodged complaint with school to find another provider

### 1/5 — Really really terrible.

*2025-11-09*

As if parenting wasn’t challenging enough, having to navigate the illogical IA and clumsy UX patterns of this app just adds an extra layer of daily confusion and irritation. The worst part is that its use is decided by the school, meaning there is no option but to keep grinding away. Spend less time making a random new app icon (which just created further cognitive load) and more time doing some usability testing and optimisation, please.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2025-07-14*

you’ll never be able to login LOL maybe once every few weeks but otherwise ure cooked

### 1/5 — Glitches every use

*2025-04-18, version 1.5.1*

Absolutely rubbish. Glitches every time I use it. Unable to book any fun events for my daughter as this is the only app they use.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-04-11*

Simply doesn’t work or load. Ever.

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 2/5 — Good idea, bad execution

*2022-09-14*

The idea is excellent, however with three children this app is a mess. 
Improvement needed when you have multiple children in same school, as well as better design when using the app on the phone

### 2/5 — Full of bugs

*2022-06-21*

The previous version was much better.
This one doesn’t work properly:
- getting a blank screen
- being logged out despite ticking the box to stay logged in for 30 days
- sometimes impossible to download pdf files uploaded by the school. 
It is very time consuming and therefore not helping parents.
