The app works well enough to get our students’ names onto the dismissal list for staff, however, it could really use two new features. First, where is the CarPlay integration? The app checks a geofence that’s a few minutes away from the school and it would be very nice to have a CarPlay UI to facilitate check-in during those few minutes. That would allow the student to get to the pickup location while the caregiver finishes their drive. Second, our school only uses the “Carline” queue. The other two queues (“Parent waiting area” and “Early pickup”) aren’t used by the school and should be hidden in the UI (which would leave just one button that obviously is no longer needed could … thereby avoiding one UI step/dialog). This would avoid new caregiver confusion.

Nice idea in theory. However, if you have multiple kids, it’s highly likely the app won’t work properly. Despite doing all the recommended things (uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting passwords using a laptop, ensuring passwords are the same for each account, etc) it still won’t allow us to toggle between kids. If you are logged in with one kid and try to toggle to a different kid on the app, it will shut down - Every. Single. Time. The only workaround is to log out of the app each time and then relog in under each child. This of course defeats the purpose of having an app that can send push notifications, which will only work for whatever kid you are logged into at the time. And no - it is NOT user error or a problem with my phone. My spouse has the same problem. Multiple parents at the school have the same issue as well (the school knows this and cannot seem to find a solution to it) and what should be a time saving resource is just another headache.

Great app, use it regularly without any issues. The one thing I would love for them to consider would be to have some kind of auto login. I have to remember and manually type in my password every time is an extra step that I would love to live without. It’s not a big deal, but the little things add up to be a huge convenience! Face ID option, as so many apps have, would be amazing!

The app was dumb but worked fine enough last year, but I’ve had a ton of problems this school year (3 weeks in). First off, how stupid is it to have to have different logins for kids in different schools? That’s some terrible UX design. I feel bad for parents with kids in all levels of school. This year, I’ve had an issue where the app will crash if I try to switch which kid I need to mark absent. It gets to the point that I have to uninstall the app and reinstall it then I have to get a new temp password (which both schools have to have their own password for some reason). So I can update one password, but when I have to do this all over again, I have to get a new password again because the temp passwords expire (I get it. That’s how they work).Why can’t I just have a login that shows both of my kids and their schools so if they’re both out on the same day, I don’t have to jump through a million hoops.
