I’ve been using this app for 4 months now. It works pretty well and I’d recommend it to others. I’m giving it a 4 for a few reasons... it logs you out of the app and then you don’t get reminder notifications. The organizer of a carpool cannot remove one child who no longer participates; you have to either talk the uninterested/non-participating parent to take the time to log in and do it, or you have to delete the entire carpool and start all over because of that one child. It just shouldn’t be that way. Set up is also a bit cumbersome adding to the headache. Would be great if we could see where our drivers are, but I believe that functionality is forthcoming. All in all, it does its job. I just think there’s quite a bit of room for improvement. Considering there aren’t many carpool apps for children, GoKid has the opportunity to seriously corner the market and get way ahead if they will just make improvements like the ones I listed above.

Just started using this app which I thing is a great organization tool however it would be helpful to add an option in the profile for how many kids can fit in our car. We have some people only able to take three kids while others can fit more. I’d also like to see the option of choosing the carpools myself instead of automatically being added. Just some feedback! Great start!

Another mom suggested we use this to help with our 5 kid carpool. I’m not a fan this app, 4 months into use. It’s cumbersome. It provides the basic function of organizing a carpool for all to see. But even with the paid subscription (don’t pay for it! Adds nothing) - the format is a never ending scroll of days. You can’t just search for you or your child in the schedule. The buttons to select or skip a ride are easy to confuse. There’s no way to lay this out as a calendar, can only scroll. The physical appearance of the app doesn’t help with easy reference for your child’s name or patents (as the user, or the passenger, my name should be a different color). The other 4 moms feel it’s functional enough. I suspect they don’t dislike it quite as much as I do ( I have 4 kids, and can’t quickly pull up info at work without possibly misreading it; I’m looking for easier!). I feed a google spreadsheet is much easier & dynamic enough for our purposes. I’ll keep looking for a better alternative to introduce to the carpool. For now, I’m stuck with this!

This app has potential, but it’s hard to use and aspects of it are really not intuitive. Overall I’m pretty disappointed and it’s a shame because clearly a lot of effort has been invested in putting this app together. It’s a shame it really falls short.We had trouble initially because we didn’t realize we needed to set ourselves up as family groups. So now one kid is duplicated because both his parents input his name. When I look at the details of the carpool, there are six adults listed (I have no idea how!), but there are really only four of us. I don’t know how to delete the two adults that are duplicated. So we have a carpool with three kids listed when there are only two and six adults listed when there are only four.It also seems like you can change your child’s pickup location for just a particular day, but that’s not the case. If you change it for one day, the app changes it for the whole series. So if a child is at one parent’s house one day and you want to change his pickup location just for that day, you can’t. The app will change it for the entire series. I thought I might work around this by adding a note to each individual day when the child will be at the other parent’s house, so I upgraded to the pro version to be able to do that. No luck there either. If you try to add a note to just one day, that same message populates on every single day, which is ridiculous. Why would I want the exact same message to appear on every single day??? The way the app is set up is very misleading because it truly looks like the message you add will only be connected to that day. And if you want to delete the message once you realize that’s what’s happening? No luck there either. There doesn’t seem to be a way to delete chats.There’s also no support offered that I can see (if you’re using the app as a parent and are not connected to a particular school). It does appear that there’s support if you’re using the app through a school. I would gladly pay for a monthly subscription if this app worked in a more sensible way. Or if I had access to any support at all. As it is, it’s just frustrating.
