### 2/5 — Photos won’t show

*2026-03-18, version 2.13.0*

I am unable to see the photos when they’re posted by the centre

### 2/5 — Not letting me view photos

*2026-03-17, version 2.13.0*

Since the last update the app is not letting me view photos. It only give me a black screen. Not happy with it as being a parent we love to see photos of our kids in kindy. Hope this issue gets sorted soon.

### 1/5 — Multiple Centers

*2026-01-09, version 2.11.1*

Like a lot of other people, this app doesn’t work when trying to use two different centers for two different kids on the same account.
Basically useless unless you only have one child.

### 1/5 — App is horrible

*2026-01-06, version 2.11.1*

Terrible design, I’d recommend they hire professionals to rebuild it from scratch

### 1/5 — Clunky

*2025-12-16, version 2.11.1*

Tells me I have notifications from admin posts but when I go into the app It says I don’t have any notifications. 
Bookings don’t show in the app either. 
I’m annoyed that the service has switched to using this because the other system had no issues.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-11-13, version 2.11.0*

This app fails way too often.
Please fix this

### 4/5 — Tech Issue

*2025-11-10, version 2.11.0*

Tried to sign in but can only see black screen in that place where qr code should be scanned. Pls help me fix that

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-11-05, version 2.11.0*

I love this app to see my child’s activity at daycare however I can’t see all the photos the educators upload I can’t click on them any more which is really frustrating

### 1/5 — Multiple locations

*2025-10-29, version 2.11.0*

Terrible for a family with multiple locations - impossible for two parents to be linked at each school. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — Can’t see uploaded images in app

*2025-10-07, version 2.10.2*

Unable to open the images uploaded from our child’s daycare. I’ve checked with multiple parents and all are having the same issue with this app. It’s been weeks and we’ve reported via the app help feature multiple times.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2025-09-29, version 2.10.2*

The user experience is average at best. There’s a lot of clicks before you get to anything. 

I can’t view images from the announcements since iOS26, when you click on the images, no light box appears. It’s been weeks, don’t have any e2e tests? 

App is super slow to load at times when you’re trying to check out your kid or sign them in. 

Huge opportunity for a competitor here if anyone is looking for the next thing in daycare apps!

### 2/5 — Getting worse and most recent update makes app completely unusable

*2025-09-29, version 2.10.2*

App seems getting a lot of changes e.g. can’t open more photos, lost view all photos of my kids features.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever used!

*2025-09-14, version 2.10.1*

So we have been using this app the the last 9months now Will I have been as my partner can’t log in even though he can log in to sign the kids in and out at the service using his number. 
This app has kicked me out of it and I have changed my passwords and uninstalled it and everything and still can’t get on to the app which means I can’t see any updates from my kids, I can’t add extra bookings or see my account! 

My service has contacted Xplor themselves and it’s been hopeless! 

Being an educator at the service as well and seeing how many others are having issues with logging in to the app is really disappointing!! Everyday we have issues with this program and Xplor say they can’t help us!

### 3/5 — Functional but

*2025-09-02, version 2.10.1*

Mate… slower than a wet week. Parents clearly in a rush for drop off and this thing sits back contemplating whether to open, as if it’s sipping on a cognac pondering life’s deeper meaning. It’s 2025. Be taller

### 1/5 — It’s basic yet as confusing as possible

*2025-08-29, version 2.10.1*

I link my child to another centre and the current centre was removed from my profile!!  Now I can’t see any updates from the current centre.

### 1/5 — cameraa not working on iphone to scan qr code

*2025-08-05, version 2.10.1*

after the update it wont let me scan the bar code camera doesnt show

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-05-27, version 2.9.1*

I’m not sure if it’s got bugs or what but the notifications are problematic. The steps to sign in/out then have a verify which is another few steps. Time consuming and clunky. The help team are no help as I have been wondering if it’s a user issue but I have my end set up and triple checked but they just send screen shots of what it should look like. I agree, have all my settings to their speculations and still not working and they just ignore the problem then. Disappointing.

### 4/5 — Book for multiple kids

*2025-05-25, version 2.9.1*

Would be great if we could book for multiple children at the same time!

### 1/5 — Piece of garbage

*2025-05-15, version 2.9.0*

App started to use front camera to scan code to sign out impossible to use front camera went to help twice in chat as soon as you do something and leave chat area the chat finished and you have to restart a new chat and wait again but they can’t help told me to contact apple for their faulty app 0 stars if I could can’t use have uninstalled reinstalled restart phone doesn’t work camera works fine in all other scanning apps

### 2/5 — Cannot sign in to the new preschool

*2025-02-19*

Disappointed. Online support never works. Links in the emails from Xplor asking you to update your profile never works. Can’t sign in to the new centre. Can’t receive any welcome email from the new centre. Tried multiple times. Have to call the app support. The lady on the phone was very polite but because of this buggy app, she couldn’t solve the problem straight away. I have to wait until when, I don’t know. The posts in the app are written in black but with dark grey background. Can’t read them properly. Photos cannot be enlarged properly (this issue could be resolved very recently). Lack of features as well. No photos of lunch, morning and afternoon tea. No videos. No online chat between centre and parents.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-07-21, version 2.13.2*

I get kicked out of the app all the time. Still get the notifications coming through, but when I click on them to open it, I’ve been logged out. I keep having to go into my child’s daycare, have them reset me, delete the app all together and go again from the start. This happens almost weekly. The daycare staff have said to me that this happens to many parents and that they hate the app also. Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Notification delay?

*2026-04-22, version 2.13.1*

App is slow to send out notifications.
Both mine and my partner are using different phones (iPhone and Samsung) it now takes up to 50mins after educators have entered an event for the app to push through the notification. I find myself having to constantly open the app, go back back back to the main screen, then slide to refresh, just to see the most updated event.

### 1/5 — Release 2.13.0 broke photos function

*2026-03-18, version 2.13.0*

Last week’s app update has broken the ability to view photos. Every time I try to view photos in a post gallery, I just get a black screen of death, the app and my phone freezes. I have to lock and unlock my phone, then close the app to get out of the black screen of death. Not a phone comparability issue as my iphone is less than a year old with the latest updates.

### 1/5 — Photos just show black screen.

*2026-03-18, version 2.13.0*

Was working pretty well. Always been pretty slow loading app. Recently something changed and I can no longer view the photos posted by my centre. Just shows black screen. If I download the photo I can view it in the photos app. Problem is only with viewing in the Xplor app.

### 1/5 — Can’t view images

*2026-03-17, version 2.13.0*

The educators go to a lot of effort to take and share photos - time wasted when parents can’t actually see them.

### 1/5 — 2.13.0 unable see large photos

*2026-03-13, version 2.13.0*

After update the newest version, can’t see photos in full screen, only show black blank.

### 1/5 — Can't view the pictures after update!!

*2026-03-12, version 2.13.0*

Can't view the pictures after update!!

### 1/5 — Very disappointed in this app

*2026-02-12, version 2.12.1*

I hardly complain about apps but I can’t access my profile it refuses to let me in while changing my password. 
I have sent emails, used the support form all to no avail. Being in Western Australia the time difference makes it hard to call the office for support. I just want the app to work. I’ve been using my husbands access but even then there are so many glitches

### 1/5 — This app is abandoned

*2026-02-10, version 2.12.0*

If you’re looking to get a service from this company I would avoid. 

The app is clearly abandoned and not maintained. We’re multiple parents who have sent feedback to get the app owner to fix the light box photo viewer to work. We can’t see our kids photos individually and have to download all of them. 

It’s been going on for over 6 months. 

We’re now pushing the daycare to sign up with another provider.

### 1/5 — Unable to view Photos

*2026-01-23, version 2.12.0*

I’m using the latest model of iphone and could never open the photos on the app. I always have to download all photos and delete the ones I don’t need. This has been going for months. Can you please fix this? All parents are not happy and might advise the childcare to change the provider if there are no improvements.

### 5/5 — Disappointing update

*2024-08-31, version 2.5.0*

Great app! Couldn’t recommend it anymore for tracking my child whilst they are at daycare. Devs have designed a great app and truly care about how user friendly it is!

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-07-31, version 2.5.0*

Good

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-04-03*

At any point of the day I can go I. And see if my kids are sleeping, what they have had to eat, or how the toilet training is going. Love the daily picture updates as well! Very user friendly. If I had one complaint - sometimes the notifications don’t come through till a few hours after they have been posted. For example, we will have picked the kids up from daycare and doing our bath and bed routine and I’ll get a notification that my son has just been to the toilet.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-01-10, version 2.1.3*

Easy to use, holds very useful information and I love seeing my little munchkin at kindy while I’m at work. I love that it has everything on there from finances to daycare updates.

### 5/5 — 𝙼𝚢 𝚜𝚘𝚗

*2023-12-05, version 2.1.3*

🥰🥰🥰

### 5/5 — Childcare App - Xplor App

*2023-07-28, version 2.1.0*

Great app to stay connected with your child when they are in daycare regular updates of what they are upto photos, notification etc very easy to use !!!

### 5/5 — New update vast improvement

*2023-06-13*

The new update is a vast improvement, switching between multiple centres is so much smoother as there is no longer a requirement to select the child.

One more bit of feedback: Can you please fix the issue when clicking on notifications from an alternate centre, it takes to a blank screen? If the app switched the centre automatically to the centre corresponding to the notification, this would avoid the blank screen.

**Developer response:** mattnotley2004, we fixed the slow notification issue last month. I hope everything is working well for you now. If so, please consider updating your review. If not, get in touch with us at appfeedback@myxplor.com and we'll respond promptly.

### 5/5 — Sooooooooo good！

*2023-04-05*

This is a very good APP, very simple and clear to let parents know the status of their children at the first time.  It can record photos of children and daily life details, and my whole family loves it.  Thanks to Emma，my children's teacher, every record is an unforgettable moment.

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2022-12-05*

Absolutely love my Cranbourne Bambino family. My kids have been with Bambino since their newborn days until graduated. Over 10 years now with Bambino having to play a massive part to my 3 kids lives. The girls are lovely, respectful and trustworthy. They always make me feel at ease leaving my kids under their care whilst I leave for work. Thank you all for your hard work, loving and caring for my kids. I appreciate you all so much.

### 5/5 — We love Home!

*2022-07-25, version 1.10.0*

So much better than Seesaw which we were using before. Super easy to use and also includes our billing information from preschool as well as the regular photos and videos we’re used to getting. Big improvement.
