### 2/5 — Why do you kick us out every few minutes?

*2025-09-15, version 2.4.17*

The app forces you to click Continue so so so many times! Every couple of minutes. While in the middle of watching ! 
So annoying!!!
And there is NO Audio! Why??? So annoying!!!
Also the quality is so 1980s! So bad and blurry. 
Schools please wake up and get a better app! 
Apparently the app developer does not care about the importance of this app for the users.

### 2/5 — Could be so much better

*2025-05-30, version 2.4.17*

I feel like they are constantly having issues with the app or cameras.  The quality is pretty terrible.  I never know how much of my 10 minutes I have left.   There are just many things that they could improve on.

### 2/5 — So inconsistent!

*2024-05-29, version 2.4.14*

I get 8 viewing sessions of 5min each. After relaunching the app, I get 2s of video, which consumes a whole session. I’d then have to consume another session to get the actual 5 minutes of video

### 2/5 — My review!!

*2023-12-22, version 2.4.9*

I couldn’t check on my kid and I was VERY upset with this app… I had to log in many times

### 1/5 — Can’t access login screen

*2023-04-22, version 2.4.8*

My father-in-law downloaded the app yesterday after the app updated, and he is unable to get to the login screen edges does a white screen and a circle of death. Absent deleted and reinstalled multiple times with 6 to 12 hours in between logins.

### 2/5 — Many breaks and need to sign in again

*2023-03-06, version 2.4.6*

The video breaks many times and you have to log in again and again to continue watching. I keep getting message of session ended and login again which is annoying.

### 1/5 — Awful quality

*2023-01-17, version 2.4.6*

Grainy and constant freezing. Screen goes black and says it timed out. Works better on my husbands android.

### 1/5 — The school gets to choose how you view your child

*2022-10-25, version 2.4.6*

It’s called “live stream” but it’s not true. You’re only allowed to watch you’re child for limited time. And they give that option for the school to choose when that in fact should be the parent’s decision. We are your customers and the ones downloading the app. So the decision should be ours. Something should be done about this !!

### 1/5 — Horrendous app, camera quality and stream

*2022-07-26, version 2.4.5*

The worst app I have ever used. The camera quality is abysmal. The app allots timed sessions to prevent ongoing monitoring. Cannot use, cannot see, did I mention horrendous app? Horrendous.

### 2/5 — Not good!

*2022-07-18, version 2.4.5*

I have to use this app to see my son at daycare during the day, but it constantly freezes, goes dark, or skips into different viewing sessions, so I never truly get 6 viewing sessions because of all of the freezing and black outs. It’s just a bad app and poor quality. I wish the daycare would go with something different 🙄

### 1/5 — Account Disabled

*2022-07-11, version 2.4.5*

My wife accidentally took a screenshot, and now the account is disabled, what a stupid app.  Do you know how easily you can accidentally take a screenshot.

### 4/5 — No problems here

*2022-05-25, version 2.4.5*

I have this on two devices and about to add another. The faster your connection the better it works. Sometimes the picture isn’t continuous if connected to a slow internet. Maybe they have updated their equipment too. It does time out but a click of the button and it immediately picks up again. I suppose much is dependent on the location’s you are monitoring. I appreciate that my grandson is in a room with two camera angles so I can follow him wherever he wanders. My only complaint is I wish the cameras had just a little better resolution. 5-25-22.

### 1/5 — Portal Glitches Constantly

*2022-05-17, version 2.4.5*

Required 15 minute logins should be from last active time not 15 minutes from last login. Then, when you get kicked out and need to log back in you do so only to receive a “we’re sorry we still show you are signed into a previous session” error.

### 1/5 — Absolutely the worst, all time.

*2022-03-18*

I can't even with this app. The website, the app, everything about it is horrible. Plagued by disconnections, requests to re-login, and authentication errors, the platform is borderline unuseable for people that want to watch their kids at daycare. DO BETTER. Pick a daycare that uses a platform other than this one.

### 1/5 — Grateful but Needs Continual Updates

*2022-02-18, version 2.4.1*

I’m just grateful I have the opportunity to see my child at her daycare. 

However, to the devs, please keep up with the iOS updates. It’s a pain for how often they perform updates, but us users also have to go through this also. I’ve had to delete and download this app every time there’s a major update. I pay my daycare provider to use this software. I feel it’s in your best interest to also provide users the buggy updates as well.

### 1/5 — Login Error

*2022-02-17, version 2.4.1*

The app routinely displays login error network error. I’ve been using it for about a year and a half and the login issues have been persistent. I try deleting the app and reinstalling try restarting my phone but still issues persist

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crazy inconsistent

*2025-07-21, version 2.4.17*

Our daycare uses this app and we have to EACH pay $30 a month just to access it.  The camera quality on the app is garbage.  The actual app goes offline EASILY more than 1/2 the time.  It is a joke.  It constantly freezes and then we get kicked out of our account multiple times a week.  Legitimately a terrible app and any daycares that use it should stop immediately.  Your one job is to allow for streaming of video to watch our kid and you can’t do that.

### 1/5 — Guess which blur is your kid

*2024-10-23, version 2.4.14*

On the rare occasion the cameras actually work you get to play the guessing game of “which one of these blurs running around the room is my child”. I suggest remembering what color clothes you put them in- it helps. Unless the cameras switch to black and white. Then, who knows! 
Wish our daycare would leave this service.

### 1/5 — Poor quality

*2024-07-12, version 2.4.14*

I log in several times per day and most of the time the app will not connect to the cameras or it will tell me I have reached the end of my session when I am trying to log in or it reports a network error has occurred. I have to constantly close the app and reopen to finally have a connection to the camera. This app only allows camera access and there is no way to communicate directly through this app. It would be more practical to have one app to use for the day care system rather than two separate apps- one for camera and one for communication.

### 1/5 — It’s horrible

*2024-01-08, version 2.4.9*

I always log on and see a blank screen or a loading screen . The pictures never appear like they’re supposed to . They need something else

### 1/5 — Lousy and stupid expensive app

*2023-11-27, version 2.4.9*

Crummy app.  “No internet connection” every other time I load the app.  Must crash twice an hour.  And they’re jacking up prices.  Avoid.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-07-10, version 2.4.9*

I use this app to check in on my daughter at preschool. It never works and always says "All possible media sources have failed." It very frustrating because being able to check on my daughter at school is one of the reasons we picked the school that we picked. This app needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Session issues

*2023-06-27, version 2.4.9*

We appreciate the utility of this app but the amount it times out your session or does not detect network and requires a restart makes it maddening.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2023-06-13, version 2.4.9*

I get 7-3minute sessions a day and when I log in to watch my kid for a few seconds and come back a couple hours later it says a session has been used. It’s frustrating cuz I only get so much time already to check on my toddler while in daycare.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2023-05-02, version 2.4.8*

I’ve been trying to open my app to view my sons cameras at school and it just buffers, I’ve never even seen what the app looks like beyond the W that shows when opening! 😑😑😑 I’ve tried deleting it off my phone and download again but still have the same issue! Very frustrating!! The app shouldn’t exist if it is not optimized for mobile use!

### 1/5 — Spinning wheel of death

*2023-05-01, version 2.4.8*

Nothing loads but the buffering wheel. I contacted the company and they literally just sent back an email saying they know that it happens. And that was it. The website is fine. But the app is terrible.

### 5/5 — Don’t be scared by the stars!

*2026-01-20, version 2.4.17*

The night before my son’s first day at daycare, I was terrified when I went to download this app and saw 2 stars. Hardly slept the night before! But I’ve been using it today and it’s been working great. It isn’t glitchy at all and always loads the camera right away. My daycare has it set that I only get 10 views a day- which stinks for sure but that’s not the app’s fault! Camera isn’t crystal clear but I know what my baby looks like and can see him clearly. They also have a camera over his crib. 
Wanted to post this for other parents that are nervous about the that day of daycare! Very happy so far with the app

### 5/5 — Never had problems

*2025-09-24, version 2.4.17*

Have been using with my LO at daycare for over a month and I’ve never had any issues. TBH the bad reviews scared me but I’ve genuinely had no problems with the app, seeing my child, and the cameras connecting.

### 5/5 — Great app to watch child at school

*2024-06-27, version 2.4.14*

Most of the bad reviews are parents upset with how their child’s school limits them. I have no issues with the app. Most of my issues come from bad service.

### 5/5 — Ease of mind

*2022-04-28, version 2.4.1*

I’m love this app. I get to see my child from time to time engaging in activities and socializing with his classmates. Haven’t experienced an issue with the quality.

### 5/5 — No issues here, app works fine for my wife and I

*2021-07-27, version 2.2.10*

I will admit when I saw that this is the app that our daycare uses, I was super skeptical because of all the low ratings. However after using the app for almost two months I can safely say that this app works fine. Sure it doesn’t have the greatest interface but for what it does, it does it well. My wife and I have had zero issues with this app. We both have iPhone 11 Pros. The only thing that is a little annoying is sometime when you go to view a feed, it will say that your session timed out but all you have to do is click the link and you’re right back in the feed. There was even an issue with one of the cameras in our child’s room, the camera was zoomed in and not aimed correctly. The lady I spoke with on the phone was super nice and was here in the states, no annoying overseas call centers. They came out and replaced all three cameras in my child’s room and fixed the angles as well. Overall, my wife and I are totally satisfied with the service and the app.

### 5/5 — Removed ability to zoom

*2017-05-22, version 1.5.6*

Would be 5 stars but the recent update removed the ability to zoom.

### 5/5 — Great app and even better customer service

*2017-05-16, version 1.5.6*

Needed to email them on the morning that my daughter started pre-school after the old credentials we had from over a year ago for my older child were not sufficient, (by the way a great security feature so if your child leaves the school you lose access). Emailed their customer service at 9:00am and got a response in a matter of minutes, after they took the effort to call my daughters pre-school and variety that I should be given a new access to the cameras. If only all app developers were so efficient and profession...Thank you for understanding how important it is for parents of infants to "stay tuned" to their kids rooms cameras when they experience their first days w/o their family

**Developer response:** Hi Beginner Cannondale owner!

### 5/5 — Current version

*2013-04-03, version 1.0.4*

Just downloaded the new app.  This is so much better than logging on through the website.  Quick and easy and remembers my login and password.  Easy for relatives to use and they don't have to ask for/remember the login each time.

### 5/5 — Good work

*2011-12-28, version 1.0.1*

Good app even though "my call enter icon doesn't work". Gave it 5 stars anyway because the cameras work pretty well.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2011-10-14, version 1.0.0*

I use to download the site through safari and that was painful. This app is quick and I have an excellent view of my little munchkin. THANK YOU!!!!!!
