Campanion

I went to a camp and this app shows me all the pictures of me and all of my best friends

It shows me everything that I missed.

I used to love this app to check out my kids’ photos while they have been away at camp, and for the last week it has been too buggy to open, it completely crashes, it won’t get past the splash screen with logo. Extremely frustrated. I also feel as though the facial recognition quality has gone done. Last summer, the app could spot my child a mile away in the largest of crowds. This summer, I’m getting tagged in pics of other people’s kids, and many of my own kids’ photo appearances are missed — despite using the camera to take a photo of their faces head on or changing out their profile photos with other pics. Lately I’ve had to go to my kids’ camp website photo gallery and sift through the old way, and I really miss the convenience and functionality of the Campanion app. I hope the app will work better soon!

I just updated the latest version of this app and now I cannot open it. My kids have been at camp for one week - with 2 to go!! - and now I cannot see any pictures of them. I’m very unhappy.

The auto detection of your kids face to create a customized stream of photos is so useful and good. and the feature where your kid can reply to your emailed note with a written response that is scanned and routed to you via bar code is genius. And it all works smoothly!

So nice to get an update on the fun they are having and the app is so easy! Love the spotlight photos and that I can save them to my camera roll! Thank you!

The app is wonderful, it’s lovely to have camper email and photos in one place, and the facial recognition is a game changer. That said, it feels a bit buggy. It does not seem to work at all when the phone is in low power mode. It has been slowing down lately, and crashing. I haven’t even been able to get past the splash screen for the past two days. Prior to that, I noticed the following issues: The photo stream isn’t very useful, and feels like a less good version of the photos tab, that doesn’t let you scroll easily from photo to photo. Usually, it stops communicating correctly with autocorrect about half way through an email, making touch screen typing very difficult. Additionally, when you tap on a notification to see a photo or letter, it doesn’t always go to the right place, and sometimes you get stuck or the app crashes.

I love this app and the ability to see a lil part of my kiddos camp experience ❤️

I never write app reviews, but I had to for this one because I love it so much!!

First time sending the kids to camp. So nice to get an alert when pics are updated!
