Kaymbu for Families

The app is just okay, it mostly serves its purpose. My biggest issue is I have no sound on videos! One time it suddenly worked and I was able to watch all the old ones with sound but it has never happened again since. I’ve rebooted, I’ve updated, I’ve tried it all. Please fix this issue!

It is not user friendly, update lags and not liking the delayed approval process to see daily update. Can’t look back at old logs, only showcases photos and no data or daily information

The app is working fine and provides the basic information from our daycare. However, it would be really helpful if the app would show when a nap started while it is in progress. Currently all we can see on the parent side is that a nap is “in progress” and the start and end time are not available until the nap ends. Showing the start time of the nap would be incredibly helpful for planning and monitoring my little one’s day.

This application is okay; it works for the most part and gets the job done giving me updates of my child’s school. However, when I try to download images of my child, the application requires access to my photos. While I'm fine with that, granting limited access doesn’t work. Instead, the app only gives me the option to access settings or cancel. When I access settings and grant limited permission, as suggested by the iOS documentation, the app loops me back to the same photo permission prompt. This prevents me from downloading photos unless I give full permission, which is not required according to the iOS documentation. It appears the product team overlooked this capability, making it an all-or-nothing solution.

Hi! Until last week (November 10) we were able to download the pictures posted, now we can’t anymore……please update that!!!

Our daycare uses this. We have to give Kaymbu access to our full photo library to be able to save photos. Other similar apps have ‘add photos only’ or limited photo access options. It’s ridiculous that it requires you to share so much information just to obtain the basic functionality of saving a photo.

This recent update requires access to my entire photo library for me to download photos FROM the app. This is not normal as compared to other classroom apps and an unacceptable breach of privacy. Please change this.

My son’s daycare uses this app. All the pictures they post in the storybook mode come out so tiny and unclear on the parent’s side. I try to click on them to enlarge or zoom in or look on my computer and it’s the same quality. If they post announcements/documents in the storybook mode, I can’t read anything because it’s so small and blurry. Because of this, I can’t save any photos. Very frustrating. My former daycare used Brightwheel, which was much more user friendly.

My provider changed to this app from Tadpoles, and as bad as Tadpoles was, this is worse

The daycare switched apps to this one and I have no idea what happens with my LO until I pick her up and they release the daily sheet. I do not like this app at all, I miss getting updates of my LO throughout the day.
