Ratings and Reviews
Bug and editing issues
The app is very handy in booking the reservation but editing the reservation is a nightmare.. have seen lot of bugs where canceling doesn’t give back the hours, after clicking cancel it doesn’t cancel. Terrible experience with the changing any reservation.
Designed to make it impossible to use services
The user experience of this app makes it impossible for you to schedule back up care. After filling out 15 fields, the app will tell you that you need to exit the flow to make some changes to your profile. It will force you to cancel your reservation, and come back. When you are back (and fill out the 15 fields again), it will show you the next error and force you to repeat the process. Some messages are super unhelpful along the lines of “please complete the profile”, with no clue on what aspect of the profile it is referring.
After 2 dozen tries, I gave up and opted for alternative service.
Developer Response ,
Hi and thanks so much for submitting this feedback. We understand the experience for a new user who doesn't have their profile filled out completely can be challenging, and are planning improvements in the future. In the meantime, please try submitting your initial reservation through our website, at backup.brighthorizons.com. We're currently in the process of rolling out an improved experience there. I'd also be interested in learning more about your specific experience if you'd be open to a conversation; please feel free to contact me at backupcaremobile@brighthorizons.com
Terrible App worse service
If you need a terrible buggy app and a service that is useless go ahead and roll the dice. Maybe your sitter/nanny gets scheduled 1 out of 10 requests, but look out, they will cancel 1 day prior, or they will no-show. When it all lines up and you can book back up care it’s great. That just seems to never be the case anymore. Call the service line and wait on hold for 20 minutes only to hear someone say they apologize and can’t help but to try again using the app. 1 star app and 1 star for the unreliability of the services provided by the company.
