Love this app

I love how easy this app is to use. At a touch of a button I can find out when and what my 2 year old ate, how long he napped, when he had his diaper changed, and photos of his activity throughout the day! I also like that I can see these updates in real-time. Our previous daycare used a different app that wouldn’t allow us to see his daily updates until his teacher signed him out at the end of the day.

Functionality

Pros:

I like that it's very user friendly and intuitive.

Cons:

When you scroll down on the feed it would be great to list the names (dates) of the reports versus the actual reports. Like sharing a list of names and when you click on it it expands to details. This way it would be easier to find a report you're looking for quickly and I believe it's a better user experience.

Pros:

It's great for quick check on my kids in daycare and messaging all teachers and the supervisor. Also, it has profile for each kid that I can switch between them.

Cons:

for some reason it stopped giving me notifications and I have to refresh the app every time to see if there is any update on food, etc. Also, the food options are just none, some, most and all, which makes it hard to track how much exactly they ate.
