“The app is great! It’s simple to use and it really streamlines the school pickup process. I’m most impressed with Pikmykid’s customer service! They respond quickly and in a very personalized manner.”
Sue A., Parent
The idea of this app is great! But I just think it needs to be expanded a little more. It asked for a lot of information but it doesn’t seem to utilize in the application of the app/program. Both parents should have full access and if for some reason a child isn’t picked up on time, notification should go immediately to the other parent and emergency contacts. I know it just really seems like it says when the chow was picked up but there’s no notification if the child is not picked up by the parent that was supposed to pick them up. Not sure if that’s left up to the school to do but having an app for something like this would feel more assuring if you got a notification for any of the important notices for your child, pick up or no pick up. So you know your child is not standing out somewhere alone etc. because if not then the other parent is counting on hearing from the parent picking up the child which makes the notification a moot point if you still have to do all of that work. If something happens to the parent picking up the child, such as a car accident, which may leave them on able to call, at least the other parent (& emergency contacts ) knows something is off if they are busy at work.

Great app

I love the PikMyKid app it comes in handy. It manages the entire student dismissal process in a smart, secure, and expeditious manner and provide real time and updates and change management options to parents. What I enjoy the most about the app is that I can always go to the app and change how my child will get home. For example my child was a car rider then she just started (APEC) afterschool two weeks ago. All I had to do was go to the app and put/update that she no longer a car rider anymore and that she is APEC (after school) for now on. I don’t have to worry about a teacher forgetting that she is now to stay after school. This app make me feel good that my child is safe because the app notifies you when your child has been picked up and who she is pick up by. Also the school pick up is way quicker and easy soon the person see you are in the car line to get your student/child the PikMyKid app will notify you also. Also I had to update my phone number in the PikMyKid app they assisted me right away and updated my number as soon as possible no wait time or nothing. This app opens the lines of communication allowing parents to have better control over who picks up their students and when.

This app forces you to have location on always
asannoyingaspickingoutapw
I just got a notification from my iPhone that told me this app had tracked my location 8 times in the past 3 days. It’s Sunday evening. Please tell me why you need to have tracking on always and not just use only track while in use and then please tell me why are you tracking me on the weekend?! Something very very shady about this company and it’s not making pickup any easier. It’s taking longer and this past week the whole thing was down during one day of pickup so it took even longer than ever to get home!!! I hope this business goes under soon. I hate this app with a passion. I’ll be complaining to my kids’ school. I don’t want to use this garbage app, I’ll have to find another way to pick up my kid.In response to the Developer’s response to my original review: Your automated sounding response to my review is not satisfactory. You still have not explained why tracking needs to be on always and why my phone said I was tracked by your app 8 times over the weekend when school is not in session. I stand by my original review and will further say that I don’t trust that you’re not using the tracking for something nefarious or selling my data. It’s especially scary to not trust you all because tracking is involved and it’s for my CHILD.
