HiMama Software

Pros

I love that I was able to see how my child was doing each day at daycare. I could track their progress throughout the day when I was busy at work. It helped me feel like I was still involved in their day.

Cons

I wish I was able to directly message the daycare teacher on the software. I also wish there were specific features for each child if they are working on a certain skill that others in the class aren't necessarily working on.

I get to so what my baby is doing almost in real time and it makes working so much fun easier on this momma!

Pros

I love the ability to see what my baby is doing on a daily basis. I love the ability to include pictures

Cons

Sometimes it seems run slow or take while to upload the pictures. Otherwise I do not have any complaints

Love seeing my child's progress throughout the day

Pros

User friendly. I like that you can leave a comment under pics and share them with your family and friends

Cons

It needs more options for communicating with teachers. I would like to he able to ask the teacher a question through the app and see their response.

Pros

I really like how easy it is to navigate and see the updates posted. Being able to see how my child did at school with his meals is extremely helpful.

Cons

Sometimes I can't read all of the comments. Not sure if it's a glitch or maybe it needs to be updated.

Pros

Easy to use and a great way to communicate with teachers. I love getting pictures through the app and knowing how my daughter is eating.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a while to upload pictures to the app. No real cons with this software. I have enjoyed it.

I appreciate that I am constantly kept in the loop with my children. I also appreciate the end of day report. It helps me to know when my child has been signed out.

Pros

I love getting her pictures throughout the day. I also appreciate the updates on her restroom habits. It helps me to know what we need to work on.

Cons

I hate the fact that I can't save the pictures to my phone. I understand that perhaps it could be a security issue due to the fact that often times the pictures include other children.

Pros

Being able to see the days events, pictures of my little guy. I also like that my mom can have access as well so she can experience my sons growth and development as well.

Cons

I don't like the fact that you cannot check the calendar for upcoming events as well as the menu of what my son is having during the week like the website has.

I can check my kid's routine any time.

Pros

It provides instant communication between parents and the daycare center. Announcement and notification could be sent through the app. It is paperless. Pictures are delivered immediately as well.

Cons

Sleep and meal information is not displayed until the end of the day. It takes a few steps to reach the actual report.

Pros

the daycare can upload pictures for the parents to see. I like to be kept in the loop of what my child is doing from day to day.

Cons

It can be slightly confusing to navigate at first. Once you learn how it works, it is easier but at first is kind of confusing.

Pictures of my child as he goes about his day, peace of mind as a paren, information on how my childs day went at daycare. I would like to see this extended to into the school system, if this has not already be done. I have another child in JR.Kindergarten who i would love to get updates and pictures from their teachers here and there.

Pros

I love that I can get pictures of my child throughout the day as well as detailed report from the daycare provider, however the use of the daycare generalize to the APP which can be negative depending on what type of information the parent receives throughout the day.

Cons

Other than the photos and the Report, I do see what other features I can used on this app. The app itself is not as user friendly as it could be.

Pros

I like the details of the activities accessible on the app. The ease of navigation is commendable. The clarity is also commendable

Cons

The difficulty in downloading and saving videos on mobile device. I could watch the videos on the app but cannot save them on my phone

Pros

The software is easy to use. I can quickly log in and see what my child is doing. It makes me feel less far away during he day.

Cons

I wish there were audio with the video to be able to hear what my child is doing. Other than that, I have no real complaints.

Could see my child and all the activities she was involved in daily. It allowed me to keep track of what type of food she was given, and wether they went outside or not during the day. Gave me the peace of mind I needed to go back to work

Pros

Allows me to see my child's activity and keep track of her bowel movements (She had issues with this from birth) and if she is eating well, as well as her mood, so I could expect wether she needed an earlier (or later) bedtime.

Cons

I could not respond or comment "live" often switched to just text the care giver. Sometimes I want to comment right on a picture, and I wasn't able to- or zoom in etc. to see if my child was wearing sox for example. Would have loved to download reports to see how my child was developing week-by week.

Pros

The ability to see pictures and videos as soon as posted. Ability to send notes to teachers and comments.

Cons

Not easy to navigate, can't go back to the first day of school to view pictures. Should be able to save pictures directly from the app rather than screen shot.

Pros

Loved the ability to see notes and especially the photos. Great was to receive reminders about upcoming events.

Cons

The odd time, the apps would close out on me and I would need to restart the app. Typical "Bugs" you find with any apps.

Pros

I like how I receive updates on what my children are doing through out the day. I especially love pictures and videos that are posted.

Cons

When teachers want to communicate with me during the day using the software, their messages come up through email only, and not through the app. Wish there was an alert or notification that popped up on the app as well, as I am not able to check my email much throughout the day but can check the app. I also wish there was a way to save the pictures and videos of my kids to my phone.

Pros

I like that I can get pictures of my daughter during the day or I can send pictures to the parents. Also the developmental skill option is really nice and makes the explaining easier.

Cons

I would like to hear a ringtone or a beep every time a parent/teacher sends a message. If I don't check the app constantly, I would never know that a parent/teacher sent something.

Pros

I love that I am able to complete my lesson plans and include pa standards for months out. It is easy to keep track of all of my students and communicate with their parents. I also love being able to track my students progress and growth in my room. I love it as a parent because I get to communicate with my son's teachers, see his daily activity, how long he napped, what he ate, they even send pictures of him throughout the day.

Cons

It gets a little tricky syncing information that we input on multiply devices, so we are constantly having to refresh when using it from the web browser.

Pros

I like that I have accessibility to pictures and also that I have a way to communicate with the teachers.

Cons

The loading time for reports and pictures are really slow and when I want to enlarge pictures, I always have to go back and click again because it won't do it the first time.

Pros

It captures what's going on in my child's day and it's easy to use. The pictures are clear and I'm glad there is an area for the teachers to write what's going on.

Cons

It should be more interactive to communicate with the teachers. When things are posted it would be good if parents could respond for the teachers to answer
