It certainly help to be in touch

We like app as it keeps us in touch with our teen at a sleep away summer camp. I wish the app could have additional features such as the the ability of choosing font size. Our kid has low vision and the standard font size used by the app is too small for him. This must not be difficult to make available but although this feedback has been provided, it did not happen. We also like the responsiveness of the costumer support.

What a rip-off!

The app promises a lot of features that don’t actually work. Maybe my daughters’ camp just doesn’t use those features. I don’t know. All I know is that I spent $30 to send my daughters 6 messages. Maybe a 7th will get through. Again, I don’t know. I was never informed of a cut-off for sending messages but when I tried to send one at 7:03am a message popped up that Bunk1 messaging ended at 7am today even though my daughters’ camp continues until tomorrow at noon. I’m annoyed because I still had a dozen credits left. My Bunk1 also had no newsletters and no pictures were ever posted. The promise of pictures and updates were the whole reason I signed up. And the preview material makes it sound like campers will be able to write you back but that was not really an option either for my campers. Overall a frustrating experience - the app took entirely too long to download and had an exorbitant cost for the amount of communication actually facilitated.

Lacking in innovative and some essential app functions

The app is a must-use if it’s the system of choice of the camp, and so the developer should pay special attention to some basic functions of an app, such as rotating so it can be used with a keyboard in landscape mode. The art in the borders is childish, so if you’re the parent of a pre-teen or teen camper, the borders are not worth paying a credit for. Including photos is a nice touch as is a Sudoku puzzle. Why isn’t there there the ability to include a signature, it’s on an iPad after all. Or expand functionality so that you can include more than one photo in a grid. Face recognition works well, but isn’t reliable enough not to have to have you go through camp photos anyway. I’ve had campers for 5+ years and used Bunk1 but haven’t seen much innovation at all. Time for a refresh.

Disappointed

Up until this year the app had been great. Now my third year using it and I am extremely disappointed both with the app and the even more so the customer service at Bunk1. The past 2 summers and part of this summer the facial recognition feature worked. After a week of being there it suddenly stopped working, although I continue to get notifications that pictures of my kids have been found. Customer service was not helpful and after a bit of back and forth told me they would look into it more. A few days later I received an email saying my case was resolved, which it wasn’t. I will be recommending my child’s camp uses a different app next summer.
