Daily activity viewing on app

Hello Good People,
This is a great app but parents are not able to view daily activity on the app. They instead have to view via the web which has a low uptake.
Do you have an ETA for when this will be available via the app.

Desperately needs download option

It’s good for day to day use but the lack of ability to download photos and documents means you are unable to save them once your children leave the service using the app. You need to keep the app forever if you want to be able to access them which is a pain when you’re short on space! If I want to delete the app when my kids are at school I have to screen shot everything I want to keep.

It also often take hours (sometimes a whole day) for posts by educators to appear in a parent’s feed. This means you can’t see what your kids are doing during the day, I’ve picked them up long before the posts load.

Hi Naomi,
Thank you for your review of our app in the AppStore, despite being critical of what we offer we do appreciate hearing from you.
We are looking to put in the ability to download photos at the discretion of the childcare provider, it is effectively their content being displayed through our app and we have always been mindful of the issue surrounding group photos where you will be downloading photos of children who are not your own. To date we simply haven't made this process easy despite the fact we can't stop screenshots being taken.
Regarding the delay between posts appearing in the feed and when they were created, we offer educators the ability to create a post without sharing it with family, this gives them time to piece together various aspects of what they are trying to capture/document. When they are ready they can then share this with family. Posts are instantaneous, our mistake with family feeds is showing the date the post was created and not when it was shared with you. This will be amended over the course of updates due over the next few months.

Excellent!

This app is great, easy to use and gives me a great snapshot into the kids lives at kinder. We also love sharing our activities at home with the educators to show how we are building on the kids learning. You don’t need a download feature, personally I feel that’s a breach of privacy for families. There’s always screen capture if you’re desperate. This is just so you can get an insight into the kids lives at school.
