Bunk1

I’m amazed every year at how amazing the recognition software is. Two thumbs up, more if I had them

I love how “friendly uncle Joe” just hit the jackpot. Just pressure mom or dad into getting an invite. Not only can you see the photos of just your child, you can also all the children that have gone to camp that year. Photographers aren’t worried about posting first names of children either. If you are worried about strangers viewing your child or a potential groomer beware this app and summer camps that use it.

I didn’t expect this to be as fun as it was. Very cool to have camp memories by photo purchase. Easy to navigate. Really happy our camp offers this service.

The app isn’t super user friendly. How do you remove a caller if only one is going to camp? Also it doesn’t se like there is a family sharing option so you need to pay for each adult who wants access AND each camper.

Be sure to check that your bunk note actually went through by checking credits. I thought it had sent several times, but it did not. My camper did not receive all of the notes that I wrote because of this and it made for a worrisome week for me, as he was away for the first time at an overnight camp, and I had promised I would write him every day. There were never any pictures uploaded, so no options for any of the other features that are listed. Next time, I will just pre-write letters and leave them with the camp to deliver.

It’s a really good app. You just need to send request for the camper to write back, which was not clear. Once we sent the template response form she was able to write back.

I love the way I get pics of my kid from camp on bunk 1.

Every day, my camp adds new photos. Every day, I have to scroll through hundreds of pictures I have already seen so that I can see the new ones. For the love of god, either put a sorting feature in, or have them default sorted from newest to oldest instead of oldest to newest!

Would love if when a new photo album was uploaded, it sent you an alert. I’m tired of refreshing for hours on end.

We have been using Bunk1 for years. It has certainly improved since we first started and allowed us to send letters and see photos of our daughters at camp. Our camp does not allow emails back but we love the option to have an email address to send directly to our daughter. It lost a star because it isn’t always easy to navigate, for example, we used the individual email address for the first time and I had to go searching for it. It didn’t send me an email telling me what it was and I wasn’t even sure it worked but it did. It is also very expensive to buy credits. Overall we love the app and in particular the face recognition feature that allows us to see our daughter out of the hundreds of photos posted by the camp. I would definitely recommend using it.
