Kinder m8 Family Lounge

I can no longer scroll through the pics the kindy uploads 😔😒😩

Frustrating app, without useful features- such as being able to sign in multiple children at once (instead you have to spend time clicking through each child) - suggested update please! The home tab of the app looks great and colourful, but you quickly realise next to nothing is intuitive or even useful. Notification settings are also very strange and inconsistent. I never thought I’d miss the functionality of other daycare centres we’ve been with.

Worst app ever, notifications not working for updates even if you turn it on. Only works when someone likes it. Interface is clunky, sometimes works, mostly not. Horrible timeline. Not sure why our centre has tie up with them. Engaged support and was not very helpful. All they do was point fingers to the childcare centre.

This app has gotten even worse since the major update they did. Every family at our centre has problems to the point that the centre has had to start emailing us as well as notifying us through the because the app’s notification settings are weird (you get updated when someone “likes” something but not when a new news item is posted!). It’s also super buggy - I have to refresh, or open and close, multiple times just to get my update to load when I open to check my kid’s day. On the other hand, the educators find it easy to use, which is more important. And is also where the app developers bring in the money, because the centres are the ones paying for it, so I’m not surprised they’ve forgotten about end user experience.

Doesn’t allow me to log in on the app but allows me to log on the website, I have deleted and reinstalled the app over 15 times a day what a joke

The app does not notify you and it is not user friendly half the functions you can’t use either

Since the rebrand I no longer get any notifications which my partner still receives as he didn’t install the update. App is mega glitchy, I’ve had to reinstall multiple times for it to sync. Looks better but UX is awful and no updates coming through. Please fix this.

The app used to barely work. Was glitchy the best of times and wouldn’t get notifications for the things I wanted and would get 100 notifications for the things I didn’t want. Since the update (and I didn’t think it could get worse) but it really has. Daily charts/observations etc come up as blank and you need to open and close the app and then tap around a few times before it actually loads and even the when you click to read it- it doesn’t open. The notifications in the corner never go away. I don’t know who is designing and updating this app but they really are not doing a great job. If you are a daycare - use a different program!!

Some good ideas but often doesn’t refresh with data and freezes with current version. Medical notes has to enter day by day not for a range of dates.

Updated recently and haven’t been able to log in since. No error.. just doesn’t log in. Garbage app.
