## KinderSmart Washington Description
KinderSmart is an attendance tracking solution for iPhones for parents dropping children off at childcare providers. The application connects to the Controltec KinderConnect backend system, which is used by state and local government agencies to support subsidized childcare operations.

The system registers a parent’s iPhone by scanning a QR code. The parent must be present in the KinderConnect host database. Once a registered parent enters the facility, he or she scans a QR code displayed at the facility, which essentially logs the parent into the system.

Checking children in and out of care mimics the process done with pen on paper sign-in sheets, a process most parents are familiar with.

Step 1 – Child Selection
Once a user has scanned the QR code at the childcare provider, the list of children assigned to this user is displayed on the screen.

Step 2 - Transaction
The user performs the check-in or check-out transactions or transactions by indicating which child is checked in, checked out or absent by tapping the appropriate buttons on the screen. Then the user provides a signature and submits the record by tapping Submit.

Step 3 - Confirmation
The system confirms the transaction.

Summary:
For a practiced user, this takes a few seconds and collects the following authentication data elements:
• Name of user
• Signature
• Time of transaction
• Location of transaction
• Attendance records for each child, with type of transaction and optional note

## KinderSmart Washington Reviews in United States

### *---- "Frustrating"
When I scan the QR code for registering my device I am told I first need to register my device. We got the KinderSign app to work for my significant others phone except there isn’t a sign in button showing available for him. Our child care relies on this for us to sign I children in and out and we can’t do that because the apps don’t seem to work on our IPhone 13 or Galaxy S21 or Galaxy note 9.

### *---- "Doesn’t work anymore"
Please update this app. It won’t let me scan my child into daycare anymore and says she does not exist anymore which is a problem with state assistance when you can’t prove your child’s attendance.
-- nae1383, 2022-06-15

### *---- "I would give it 0 starts if I could"
The app is horrible, it works when it wants to. I’m always in the phone with them trying to troubleshoot the problem, just for it to stop working again 5 days later
-- andbhdowmfbu, 2022-06-08

### ***-- "Sticky back button"
Easy to download. The back button doesn’t work sometimes and the header is so high that it cuts off at the top.
-- ChungHLBK, 2021-11-05

### **--- "Back button is behind iOS “search”"
If you find the app via search and open it, the back button is behind the “search” button to return to the iOS search. Move the app’s back button down.
-- LibertyPanda, 2021-07-23

### **--- "Stopped working"
Not sure what the problem is since my baby sitter says that they app is working just fine with everyone else, but anytime I try to sign in or out a kid it doesn’t do anything so I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that would fix it but now it’s stuck on the scan qr page and won’t do anything.. super frustrating.. 
other wise was a good app, was easy to sing in and out ect.
-- x.asd, 2021-05-14

### *---- "Glitchy"
It’s stuck on the “scan QR code screen” and won’t work anymore. Even deleting and reinstalling the app didn’t fix it. I don’t see an option to contact customer service so I guess a 1 star review is the only option?

Edit 1: talked to customer service. They were not helpful, recommending the only fix would be to reformat my iPhone and start over. Might look up who at WA state handles this contract and let them know the company isn’t meeting it’s obligations.

Edit 2: completely reset and then restored my phone. The app still doesn’t work.
-- x74300, 2020-12-16

### *---- "This is built really poorly"
No device screen size testing so many buttons don’t work on iPhone X. 

App gets disconnected once per year. Re-registering is a headache. And the latest design changes are somehow worse than the old version.

Clearly the type of app sold to administrators who haven’t used it, and appears to be built by the lowest bidding subcontractors.
-- kjseattle321, 2020-12-16

### *---- "Government overreach"
Should not have to install an app so that the government can track when my kid is in daycare!!!
-- jduneofitnajd, 2020-07-08

### *---- "App no longer"
App no longer lets you enter a time that is before when you scan so if you forget to log someone in or out you can’t do later. This has been going on since the last update. I already deleted and re-downloaded the app and it’s still not working right.
