What they complain about

- Support is slow and unhelpful
- Hard to use with multiple schools
Slow app, frequently buggy
The app is really slow and often buggy. Pictures or updates don’t get uploaded and pushed to users for hours or days. Any issue with support also takes a long time and it is not helpful. It’s a product that doesn’t optimize for what parents want
Needs Bug Fixes
I constantly have to reinstall the app. I’ll get pop up notifications that there have been updates or messages from the teacher, but when I open the app it is stuck and isn’t showing anything. After reinstalling, the issue is fixed, but you should not need to constantly reinstall an app at least once or twice a week in order to utilize it, especially when it’s an app that is supposed to keep you updated on your child while they are in school.
X Out Issues
When you go into a screen, the X out button in the top left hand corner is not clickable. Have to exit out of the app.
Doesn't work well
I can see there is a message but many times I can't read the message. Defeats the purpose of the app
The idea is amazing
But the execution.. not so much. The app seems to have issues switching in and out of landscape mode. This issue seems minor, but it’s very inconvenient having to close and reload the app because it isn’t switching properly. Scrolling through the library is weird. I scroll and then the page goes back to the top before I’m able to select anything. Again, minor issue that makes the app inconvenient.
Frustrating
The app opens for two seconds and then just closes on its own. I have never experienced this issue before.
Bad
After a couple days, you have to delete the app and re-download it so that you can read messages. Otherwise you’ll be notified but receive a blank screen.
Lots of room for improvement. Clunky
Not as user friendly like brightwheel or others, also not clear what day messages or pictures were sent, and if child goes to two different schools or daycares not clear how to view both or which is which
Quedtions!?
Hello, I would like to know if the conversations I have with the teacher are private on this platform or if other parents can see what is being discussed.
Confusing
If you switch your kid from one place to another, good luck. And tech support is useless. Sad.
Needs an update
This app would be great if the messages would upload in appropriate timing There is so much lag
No time clock
Would be helpful if it displayed when child is clocked in and out on the daily report. It posts it the day of but no other place to keep track. Most daycares charge if you’re over hours or miss clocking your child in/out.
Doesn’t work
I receive the emails that there are updates all the time, but when I access the app there is nothing visible to see. The app has been blank since I’ve logged on
horrible messenger system
everytime i open the conversation it just goes all the way to the top and in the middle of typing it just sends it by itself when i was still typing. when i hit enter it just goes all the way of the top of the conversation. it’s a nice app to keep the convo between parents and teacher but i feel like this should be fixed
Messages do not work
I’ve had to to delete and re download this app like to get the messages to actually come through As the messaging is the main thing ppl use it for this is obviously not good
needs improvement
I hope it can be translated for people who don't understand English, there are only two languages, too few
Back to the drawing board
The app sounds great in theory, but is about as poor in execution as I’ve encountered with an app. Messages don’t show up, notifications appear that there is an update but can’t access them once opening the app. There’s basically no point in using it, you’ll just end up having to text teachers anyways. If it functioned properly I’m sure it would be a great resource, but currently is just an icon taking up space on everyone’s phone and serving no purpose.
Terrible
This app is absolutely terrible. I got three emails today about updates that were posted but I can’t find them anywhere. Every time I click the link, it just takes me to the app store even though I already have the app.
I can’t see what the teachers are saying
I get notifications when things are shared by they never show up on the app. So I am missing out on cute pictures and regular updates. TSF is horrible.
Ughhh
So I can no longer add my child’s food for the day. I have to add it as a note. What was the point of removing the food section? This app isn’t parent friendly at all. I should be able to communicate with the director & teacher separately.
