What Users Love About the App
“KidCheck provides a safe, simple way of checking children in and out of your children’s ministry during your worship services. It provides peace of mind to parents by giving them a secure way of dropping off their children during the service. By providing a security receipt for pickup, this ensures some random person couldn’t pick up your child.”
“This is a great piece of software to help parents and teachers manage check ins . As a parent you can check your child in on your phone . As a teacher using this , there is an added feature of seeing pictures for those who pick up.”
“Having children is complicated enough and the idea of being able to see if they were picked up and safely at after-school care was an awesome idea. Once properly setup, I felt the app was functional enough for this purpose.”
“I really like the safety aspect it brings to the church nursery. That everyone has their own personal identification tag for each child. As a nursery worker, it helps ensure safety. It also puts a child’s allergies and other issues on the tag so you know what to expect.”
“I was able to digitally load all of my child’s information for school. Such as who can pick up/drop off, any allergies, or other notes for the teacher as well as emergency contact information.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“The only thing I can think of that I don’t like about KidCheck is that it doesn’t integrate with our current Church Management Software, but that is probably more of a strike against ACS than KidCheck.”
“Directory of families is not the easiest to access. You’ve got to dig around for family information sometimes. New family registration can be confusing at times.”
“Sometimes the program goes down. I’m not sure why, but sometimes we don’t have good connection and my church has days that it cannot use the software.”
“I do not like that each morning at check in I receive a text from different “number” every time. I wish it was a consist contact so I could add it to my contacts in my phone.”
“I think the reports could be a bit easier to create. I am not the main one to create the reports, but when I have to pull one on my own, it is a bit confusing. Also, I don’t like that when you are searching for people and select one person, view their record and are ready to view another one, it takes you back to the home search bar again.”
