Product Review of HiMama Preschool & Child Care App

Spread the love

HiMama is fun, easy-to-use software for savvy childcare programs that are tired of paperwork taking over their centers. HiMama provides an easy way to record and share kids’s activities—everything from silly and fun moments to learning and development—to involve parents and improve outcomes for kids. The program also has powerful reporting and staff management features for directors.

Website: https://www.himama.com/

What Users Love About the App

“Love this app. I’m a first-time baby daycare user and I can tell you if they use all the options at the daycare, you will be pleasantly informed about your baby.”

“Love the app! my 16months old is going to a daycare which is utilizing this app to communicate with parents. Although they don’t seem to use all the functions fully but still, I get to see some photos of my kiddo and daily reports. It would be even more amazing if it’s used in full.”

“Love this app! As a mom with 2 littles in daycare and working full-time, this app TOTALLY helps keep me “in the know” and definitely provides me peace of mind about my littles while I’m at work.”

“HiMama is amazing. My husband and I get to see pictures of our son and his classmates all throughout the day and see what they are doing. The communication is so comforting and awesome as a parent to see when your child napped, ate, etc.”

“It’s a great app to stay connected with montessories to see how the kids are doing. I like the daily reports, the categories for activities (physical, social, cognition) and the detailed meals.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“From a childcare provider; I haven’t had any major problems with this app until the last couple months. Lately I have to enter things up to 3 times, especially if it has a picture. Meals, group pictures, etc. I was actually hoping there was an update available.”

“My wife and I just got onboarded with the app and we can each only see 1 of our two kids… This really needs to be addressed before I can recommend this app to anyone. What if my wife and I were estranged? This should be basic functionality that multiple log ins can see multiple children’s updates.”

“It is not intuitive at all. Always has problems and they always say engineer is working on it. When center emails a photo, I never receive it. This has been common issue for all moms.”

“As someone that is required to use this app for work, it is severely lacking. It constantly lags (if it doesn’t crash). It consistently checks out children that are still present, you can only take one or 2 pictures for parental before it will not load and you have to restart the app.”

“Very frustrating. I downloaded the app as I’m very familiar with it from my old center. Go through the whole process of adding children and it tells me there’s an error I scroll up to see where the error is and the form has been cleared and I have to start over again.”

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
