Great to check in, communicate with my kid's care provider, and we love the pictures they can post. The update to include ACH/credit card payments is nice, but please turn of the constant notification dot to do that. We aren't going to do that because we don't want to pay fees. Seeing a dot like there's something wrong in general, then seeing it's a payment, but there's nothing wrong with that either is disconcerting, then annoying."

EDIT: The support staff team have been great to work with as we had to troubleshoot the issue. The issue was quickly resolved! Thank you again! Since the app update, I have been unable to access my account. The app stalls at the first screen. I've tried reinstalling the app numerous times, as well as updating and restarting my phone. The app continues to be faulty. I've tried emailing support services, but I have received no response or assistance."

The app is decent at covering the main functionality. But it has a few annoying limitations. 1. The photos added by the teachers are not automatically downloaded, so we have to click download many times often. 2. The conversation functionality is limited, e.g. today we wanted to send a photo of a missing toy, no way to do that. 3. Hard to find out remotely if q kid has been checked in - have to scroll through the notifications. Why can't i just see it on the home page? So. Good, but not great."
