A few good features but definitely lacking compared to other school apps. While the layout is nicer and the “mark absent” and drop off notes are great features, this app is less intuitive, lacks instantaneous updates, and missing a few other features other school apps have. I find myself disappointed.

I like that I can send quick notes, see pictures and review daily reports and other announcements in one place. It’s easier then having to search through my email. At times there is a lag with how quickly updates occur or alerts are received. I do with their was sharing feature to share photos with families. My kids are 5 and almost 3 so I don’t need constant updates, so I can see where parents with infants - 2 year olds would want more interaction/updates. I think this is a good app and happy our childcare provider utilizes this type of service.

We switched to a school that uses this app in January. From day 1 I loved it. Now pile of daily papers and I could forward the email version to my parents who live far away. However, recently the real time (aka push) notifications just stopped working. So, if an announcement about closing early, etc comes in, I don’t know about it unless I am checking my personal email (which I try to avoid at work). Please fix this.

It works if you remember to type in all your notes and any changes before you drop off, but it would be awesome if you could add a note or change- like pick up time- or even chat/email through the system. Lag times are a concern.

This is a great app for getting your kid’s Reports and pictures. However it’s the exact same thing as the Tadpoles app. Not sure why there is a different app that does the exact same thing as Tadpoles.
