What Users Love About the App

“Super easy to use. Just downloaded the intuitive app, entered password details and I was able to stay connected to my son while he was at nursery. Watching videos, tracking his progress.”

“I spoke to nursery staff and they love it too as it saves them time which they can focus on the children.”

“I like how easy it is to use day to day when observing children and tracking their attainment. I use the speaking option to capture an observation as well as typing the narrative in.”

“I think the software works well to interact with parents allowing them to share their child’s learning journey as well as upload their own activities and observations.”

“Easy to upload photos and add captions for assessment of a child as well as to share the moment with their family. It is user friendly, easy to set up, saves a lot of money in terms of not needing to print photos to stick into learning journals.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“There are a whole host of tracking reports and it can take some time to get your head around each one.”

“It would be really helpful to have a couple of extra features: – we have three classes so when selecting a child for an observation I have 90 children to scroll through, some way of separating them by class to make it quicker to find them would be very helpful.”

“I think it would be great to have a version of the app for the children to use. they could then select their class and then find their own picture to select themselves. they could then take a photo of whatever they have done/made which they are proud of and then use the mic to record a little caption so they could say what they have done.”
