User reviews

Awful

Just use brightwheel

Terrible

This app SUCKS. Have to use it for my daughter’s daycare, but the amount of times I have to delete and redownload just to be able to enter anything is ridiculous.

Lots of bugs

I have to delete and reinstall the app at least once per week due to not getting notifications.
Due to this, I sometimes miss notifications throughout the day.

Slow and laggy

Every single action takes a long time. I have taken screen recordings and sent them, but they said it is doing the work and these lags are expected.

No updates throughout the day

I have all notifications set to on and still do not receive any updates until the end of the day when my child is checked out at which point they’re completely irrelevant.
