As a teacher, I’m extremely disappointed that I can’t use the app as well. I have to be logged in to the website to see or send messages. I don’t have time during the school day to keep logging into the website, so I miss messages from my parents. I would much rather have push messages sent to my phone through an app so I could quickly check them. If I want to send pictures to my parents, I have to take the picture, mail it to myself, download it to the computer, then upload it to the site. And I can only send one picture per message. It’s far too time consuming. I would also like a stream where I can see a list of messages sent to the whole class. It’s too time consuming to check each child’s list individually. If my district didn’t make me use this app, I would be using ClassDojo. It’s so much more user friendly.

This app is horrible. I’m stuck with it because the daycare has it but I can’t even message the teachers in the infant room - they actually said they either are not allowed or can’t!! What is the point??
Other than the other glitches mentioned in other reviews, I have an infant and I want to see what is happening throughout the day. But I can’t get a report until the day is over and I pick him up, only to find out he didn’t eat lunch and is hungry. Or I go to pick him up and he’s asleep!!! The daycare used to have a sensible app that updated throughout the day… so you can see if he’s awake, has eaten, been changed etc. For a toddler I wouldn’t mind so much but for a baby, I need to know. I wish they would switch back to the other app.

This app is so sooo bad. I was encouraged to download this app by my child’s teachers at daycare. I periodically get notifications that things have been uploaded by his teachers, but I can’t find them anywhere. I get error messages when I try to click on the 2 videos that have been there since I downloaded it or try to change any of my settings. It is perpetually stuck on November 2022 and won’t let me change the date. In addition to the notifications, I have gotten emails that the teachers have uploaded particular things and I can’t find any of it. I’m not sure why I even keep this on my phone. I don’t doubt the daycare paid some sort of money to this company and I regret that for them. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone.
