No incentive was offered No impressed by the new system. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Easy to log my children into school daily in a Xplor care app. #### Cons Frustrated that it’s no longer one email received with all information provided on what kids did, what they ate and some photos. There are no daily notifications that can be issued and I have to log into two different Xplor systems. I’m really not impressed or happy! --- ### using Xplor software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bronwyn S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Xplor has simplified my accounting process. The Xplor staff are wonderful and could not be more helpful. Parents do not have the same experience though and have described having to wait for 45minutes to have their calls answered. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The Xplor accounting system works extremely well for Tharawonga. If the Master Roll is right then accounts are correct and charges are made to parents and it is very easy. #### Cons Parents find it hard to connect and book and sign Compliant Written Agreements. I have had parents that have been with us for two years that still haven't connected with the childcare subsidy. Sometimes, when I am inputting emergency contact details for a child, the addresses and contact details will auto-fill. This has caused confusion as the details entered may be wrong. I have also input addresses on parent profiles that disappear. #### Reasons for choosing Xplor Education Ease of accounting as we were having constant problems with QikKids #### Reasons for switching to Xplor Education QikKids statement amounts did not equal the amounts that were taken from parent's accounts. This caused our service a lot of problems with clients. --- ### Xplor versus ?????? - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Lisa H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Replied July 2019 --- ### Incapable software - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Jarrod G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: March 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Complete let down. -Support responses slow if at all often left voice messages and emails and didn’t receive a response and when responses came often insufficient. -Waitlist and enrolment process and management creates more work and not intuitive. - CAN NOT correctly estimate families child care subsidy’s for more than 2 weeks and they admit to this being an issue and one that they don’t see as a priority to address. So there system makes up its own subsidy estimate for families causing families statements to be incorrect. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros Due to the software being Cloud based and offering a waitlist feature (that is terrible) #### Cons The softwares inability to correctly estimate families child care subsidy for more than 2 weeks in advance. #### Reasons for choosing Xplor Education Because of the recommendations from Qikkids team. #### Reasons for switching to Xplor Education Because people at Qikkids and Explor advised us to and told us Qikkids is being faded out in the next 12 months --- ### Love the App - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Jaycine R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Broadcast Media - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Haven't had any problems, pretty easy to use. Just the account area could be improved and would love email #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use, pretty self explanatory and love you can book extra days on the app. #### Cons I think the accounts area could be improved and would love daily emails with photos and their day to day updates. #### Reasons for switching to Xplor Education The daycare made the switch, Xplor is more practical with bookings and payments --- ### Fantastic for a Pre-school (non Long Day Care/Approved Care) - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Melinda V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Fantastic staff, assistance, help and easy to use! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that it can be tailored to suit our non-profit, Community Pre-school - we are not long day care, nor family care and do not have an CCB receipting or need to report to the Govt so we needed a "different" type of software for our needs. #### Cons I think it would have been good to have onboarding/webinars with someone who is more knowledgeable on a Pre-school's needs, rather than an overall approved care needs. #### Reasons for choosing Xplor Education Price was fantastic - month by month / easy of use / tailored to a Pre-school program --- ### Enjoyable and Easy - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ashleigh E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Individual & Family Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
