Learning Genie for Parents Reviews

by ClayCountyAL

As a parent whose toddler is in headstart for the first time, I love getting random pictures and messages each day ensuring me that my child is learning and being taken care of. LearningGenie has so much potential but it crashes and doesn’t load for DAYS 99% of the time. What’s the point of having an app that isn’t in real time?

LearningGenie freezes when I click on the “save video” button.

It’s nice to have a quick way to stay in touch with the teacher.
Issue 1) At least 40% of the time I check it I’m logged out, so if the teacher sends me a message I wouldn’t know it. I had to set a reminder to check it to make sure I’m logged in.
Issue 2) the main screen is in no discernible order.

So basically the developers have made groupme for teachers and parents. Why don’t you just copy groupme down to the last detail, at least it never logged me out

I thought we were going to be able to see our observation posts after to be able to keep track of what we’ve done and sent in. I hope this can be added into the parents genie soon, if this was added I’d give it 5stars

I really like it so far, but I’m not getting any notifications from it. My childcare provider is posting a lot of stuff, but I need to check it from time to time to see if there are updates.

I try to add a second child on LearningGenie on my iPhone 7 (tap the “add child”) and it does nothing. Just takes me back to the main thread. App also won’t let me tap “get support”. I tried reinstalling and it didn’t help.

I think LearningGenie is fine for keeping track of what my toddler did at preschool BUT it frequently tells me my login into is wrong and I am forced to reset my password. The login info is saved on my phone so I know it hasn’t changed so it becomes quite annoying to keep having to reset my password. There were also a couple times that it didn’t notify me that my son’s teacher had messaged me.

Love LearningGenie , it there are a few things I’d like to see improved:
1) chronological sorting. As the care providers update throughout the day, sometimes the timelines are all over the place. LearningGenie should organize them by time
2) A more clearly visible division between days. It’s hard to tell between today and the day before
3) Add a way to share save videos
4) Notifications aren’t working for me.

The photos added for an icon or banner are very pixelated no matter what I do. Customer service was not able to help me.

I think LearningGenie could be a game changer for many child care settings. As a parent I love being in the loop and getting updates throughout the day.
Room for improvement...
-not chronological, can be confusing
-no division between days
-unable to save shared videos (the biggest bummer. )

LearningGenie is really nice, but it does need some work. It would be nice to get a notification when something new is posted. Instead I have to keep checking daily. It would also be nice for the parent and teacher to communicate on here as well.

How come with the new release, I don’t have the option to save pictures anymore? Also, how come videos have never been able to be saved?

I love being able to keep tabs on what my little one is doing through the day. I would love to see a watch app for while I’m working!!

This is by far the easiest one to use. It's so simple and fast. Just about any preschool teacher can just tap and go, without any training

by SLOstack

I love the concept and functionality of LearningGenie.

I can see everything I need to, and I can download the pics. Thanks for fixing it!

I love getting pictures and updates from my daughter’s teacher throughout the day, it makes me feel so much better about her being at preschool!

I love seeing what my son has done during the day at his daycare and having information easily shared with me. Your app has really given me extra peace of mind! If your kids place doesn't have this yet, I highly recommend you tell them about it!

We used to get a piece of paper with the agenda, and text messages with photos. Now I can pull up LearningGenie and see it in one spot, without papers everywhere. It's pretty much just a chronological feed, but it doesn't need to be any more than that.

I love being able to receive updates about how my daughter is doing while at school. I don't even have to do anything but sign up!

It helps me plan my day because I know how my kid's day went even before I pick her up. No more meltdowns in public because I didn't know she missed her nap :) I would recommend that everyone get their schools to use it!

We are big fans of LearningGenie from the grandparents' community. Our grandson's school started the Learning Genie program. LearningGenie made it so easy for us to stay in touch with our grandson's daily fun moments and learning activities everyday, even when we are a distance away from him. We absolutely it. It made us feel we are part of his life everyday. Isn't that cool that we know what book he read and what song he sang at school? He thought it was pretty cool too (that we know it) when we talk. We felt we can have real conversation about things he cares. The Learning Genie support team was very helpful too. My son was initally manually forwarding my grandson's email daily report to me everyday. Later I decided to write to them to get myself subscribed to the reprot directly. It happened instantly. They also introduced me to LearningGenie which is even better to receive live updates. We felt we can see our grandson all the time from our iPAD. That's so wonderful. Thank you for making such a great app. Great job.

We love using Learning Genie to follow our son and his awesome teacher during the day. However, it would be a fantastic feature to be able to interact with these posts like on social media, e.g. with “likes”.
