What Users Love About the App

“It has everything I could ask for. I am a working mom and I always felt anxious and guilty for not being there for my boy or not be involved or informed enough. Its like Illumine has crept into a parents mind and collected all the needs and built this app. I can see what activities my toddler son is doing, i get the notifications, I know when he ate, what he ate, when he slept at all times.”

“The features available are perfectly catered for the needs of pre-schools as well as parents. It is really user-friendly, be it for the admins, teachers or parents. Even the more elderly teachers that are not familiar with the latest technology can use the application with ease!”

“I can update the parents on their little one’s mealtimes, naps, diaper changes, and bathroom visits. The end of the day reports can make parents anxious because they are unable to communicate with the daycare center through the day, but illumine allows us to constantly keep them notified. We can send the reports to parents and receive their signatures without any hassle.”

“Illumine helps make the connection between home and the preschool setting stronger. It allows teachers and parents to communicate important information to each other. It allows for photos to be shared with the families, so that they can see the learning taking place in the classroom. It allows me to keep track of the development that my child is going through, in a very structured, easy to understand format. I like this software a lot”

“My kid’s school used this, and the whole experience to communicate with her teachers and receiving daily reports about my child would not have been much more straightforward. During the pandemic, extra updates such as online learning and activity sharing with learners are handy, and she felt connected to her teachers even though she is away from school.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“One tiny thing could be that if a school does not use a specific feature, may be that can be hidden so the parents don’t see it. Although my son’s school uses almost all features, they don’t have the live streaming thing. So may be if that feature can be completely hidden.”

“The lesson tab has some probelm. When we go back to take another printout the lesson tab sets to its default set and shown the result rather then showing what I selected ( like by date or month). It’s not convenient to use to take printout.”

“There is no option to mark a photo as favourite. Since the school shares many photos I hope they give an option to mark a photo or a video as a favourite.”

“Till creche has to get implement or use of many features like fee payments,live streaming and so on . This will add a wonderful experience hassle free tasks.”

“It is not possible to download all the photos at once. We need live monitoring feature by linking webcams with illumine app. Customer care needs to be very prompt in answering queries”
