Daily Connect (Child Care) App Reviews

We transfer money over €4 billion every month. We enable individual and business accounts to save 4 million Euros on bank transfer fees. Want to send free money abroad or transfer money abroad for free? Free international money transfer!

Could be better. The app works fine, but the overall UI needs some love. It seems confusing to use and the overall aesthetic is poor. It reminds me of a grocities webpage. I really hope they spend some money on making the app better.

It works great. It’s a great way to keep the parents informed about what the child is doing throughout the day. It also helps with reading comprehension. If a child can look at what they did during the day with a parent at the end of the day and then tell the parent what was happening in the picture and who the people are that’s the first step towards reading comprehension.

Not bad overall. Overall I like the app. Our current daycare is the first one we’ve had that uses an app to stay connected with us throughout the day. I don’t have any major gripes about it, but feel there could be some tweaks here and there that would improve it.

Really great app, helps keep all in the loop!. Great for our home based/nanny situation, keeps all parents in the loop and keeps me on track! Would like for parents to be able to “like” or give activities thumbs up similar to social media platforms but overall very pleased, well worth the $.

Glitchy and frustrating. I’m a teacher who is required to use this app. In short, teachers and centers don’t waste your time. It kicks students out of my classroom daily so I can’t log anything for them with no way to get them back on my own classroom device, so I have to go to another classroom and use one specific device every time I need to fix it. I have parents who can’t view or download documents, and I don’t have the emails so it’s how I’m required to send newsletters. I’m admittedly picky about this, but I don’t like the design of the app (fonts, images, icons, etc.). I think it looks cheap and tacky. The only reason I gave it two star is because it does what it’s supposed to 50% of the time. Teachers and centers, run away! Pick something else, like brightwheel.

Love this app!. I love that I get updates whenever my daycare inputs something into the app. The only way I think they could improve the app would be by adding video capability. Not to watch what my child is doing in real time... but so they could video the children doing something fun, that could then be uploaded to the app. Like a dance party.

Great granddaughter. I like being able to see pictures of her and what and how she is doing during the day.

Tried a lot of stuff. This my nanny uses and it’s been working so well for us. I’ve tried a bunch of App and daycare center apps, this has been great

It’s nice except…. It doesn’t push notify reliably. My kiddo has diapers and food and pic updates awaiting me in the app and I don’t always know about it until I actually go and look to see if any updates have posted. Yes, all notifications are turned on and alerts permissions are on. Otherwise, it’s a great app

Meh. Hard to compare since I’ve never used a similar app and not sure if it’s my daycare not using it to full capacity but. It’s not super clean, I miss important updates and events because of how difficult it is to find the different formats of documents vs notes vs dates. My daycare doesn’t use the calendar feature so I have to make sure to check dates on forms and add that to my calendar manually each time.

Finley’s grandma ❤️. I really enjoy this app. I love to pull up the pictures of my sweet granddaughter and see her playing and learning at school. I live 3 hours from her so with this app I feel like I’m closer to her.

Useful tool!. The app works for me again. Thanks for the update! I appreciate being able to keep up with my kid’s day and communicate with the teachers. Very helpful to have the timer since the last time my baby ate or slept to quickly know his needs when we get home from daycare. The graphs of bottle and sleep history are very useful. Very much appreciate this app!

Daycare Provider. I am a daycare provider and the parents love it they are able to show information collected to doctor to help solve issues with eating,sleeping and constipation. Bright wheel is another app I used. What I didn’t like about it is the cost.

Updated- I’m still learning. I try to register and it keeps saying I need an invite. But I’m the care taker trying to set it up so I don’t waste paper. Is this a glitch or am I missing something. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ UPDATE: I discovered the website and then it was easy peasy. It gets the job done and I like that the parents can also use it so I can see how their morning or night was. Also compared to others this is very affordable.

Okaaay. But could make it a bit better.. Our center uses this app. I love that I can see and get all of the updates on our littles throughout the day, but the app sometimes freezes up and the glitches are frustrating. Also, I don’t feel it’s the most user friendly set up to find what you’re looking for.

Connected. I love this app!! We made the decision to put my then 10 month old son into daycare, the provider told me she used this app. Throughout the day, the app kept me and my husband in the loop about our son (as the provider made updates). It tells me pamper changes, bottle feedings, sleeping patterns and his step by step day, so it made it easy when doctors asked for feeding plans etc. I am so glad his provider uses this and I love it.

Love it. I love it because I know my daughter and son move every hour, I know what they eat and when and helps me figure out if they’ll be hungry when I pick them up. I also get photos of my kids every single day. I just love this app.

Intuitive, great for new parents. I love everything about this app. Everything parents of newborns and older ones would need to record. I highly recommend.

Less functional than the website without premium purchase. Almost all features - including all photos, communication with daycare providers, and even the basic update history (over all or breakdowns for food, potty, sleep) - are obscured by a gray box with the statement ‘This feature is limited for your account. You need to upgrade your account to view more.’ EVERY update from the provider is obscured by this. The app functions solely as a check in/out tool for the school. For any parent updates you either have to pay or use their web interface. I’d understand unique features like timelines, growth charts or automated graphs being a premium feature. But they have paywalled any reason to have they app beyond check ins.

The best. I love this app so much I get very busy at work so I don’t have much time to message my sons teacher throughout the day however because of the app I can check his activity at any time of the day. I love that

DailyConnect App. It is a truly well managed App done with true professionalism and kindness. It is a great gift to have ease of mind seeing your child throughout the day while they are away from you. Peace of mind is a blessing and we are grateful.

A DAILY DOSE OF SMILES. This app has been amazing. I love being able to see updates of what my son is doing throughout the day. The teachers capture little moments in photos that we as parents may otherwise not be able to see. I am really going to miss it once he moves on to kindergarten. Thank you to the creators of this app. You have provided me with memories and smiles that I will cherish forever.

Love this app!. Love being able to stay updated on my little one during the day while I'm at work! This app has made this momma feel so much better about being away from my little guy during the day!

Wonderful!. We have had nannies for our three girls since the second was born. I like to think of this app as our own private Facebook group. I have invited grandparents and godparents to be part of it. At first the nursing/feeding/potty areas are SO helpful. Now we use it mostly for pictures during the day or if one of the girls needs medicine. One issue is getting the nanny to use it. Ours now lives to post pictures but it was tough for some. I emailed the developer previously to allow users to “like” a picture or activity. This let’s the nanny or caregiver know the parents are seeing the posts and appreciate it. One of the best features was the message portion. When my husband and I were out of the country for a long weekend we could still communicate with the nanny/grandparents/kids only using WiFi.

Finley’s Grandma. I’m so very thankful that I can see pictures of my beloved granddaughter. (We do video on weekends but I’d much rather hold her.) Living in California and being cautious about traveling at this time, I enjoy seeing parts of her days in preschool. Thank you for all your hard work with God’s precious gifts to us. Blessings always.

Love it!. I love that my daycare provider uses this app. It lets me check on my kids’ activities through out the day. I love that they can post pictures and that it allows me to make an entry when I pump. Makes it easier to keep track of when and how much I pumped.

Great resource. This app helps in numerous ways with my childcare business. It could use some upgrades in certain areas of the app but it doesn’t influence the performance of the app. My parents are very happy with second to second updates on their child. Thank you.

Great app. I used this app from my daycare for my 3 daughters. It was such a helpful app for working moms that wants to check their kids without calling the center. I was able to see photos and monitor how often she feeds.

Great app!. Love the app. An enhancement would be adding the capability to like or comment on pictures added. Or even post videos? Just some things I’ve thought about, otherwise easy to use and overall great app!

Very disappointed. I have been using this app for 5 yrs, last yr you did an update and required a charge that continue using the app. I did that, now all of a you want to charge a monthly subscription, for an app I already purchased. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. 100 percent unethical. It is fine if you want to charge new customers but not for those who already purchased your app and have been faithfully using it.

Free version is useless. Our daycare provider uses the app to record our child's daily activities. My beef is that the free version of the app is practically useless because it shows only very limited data entered by the provider. Their model has the provider paying for their software on a per-child basis, and then they hit the parents for access to that data on a mobile device. So now I'm paying for this twice. Do yourself a favor and add their website to your home screen and save yourself the couple bucks.

Fantastic app. This app is extremely useful, user friendly, and well-designed. The customer service is phenomenal using their support request feature. I have been using this app for years for my home child care business and it just keeps getting better.

Peace of Mind. Great app for parents. I really like the constant feed of information related to my child’s well being through each day. The photos are definitely a plus as well.

Asking me to pay again. Excellent customer service.. UPDATE: although the app has its problems, I must say customer service is extremely responsive and helpful. Every time I ask for help they respond timely and without complications! ———————————— We changed daycare location (being the same company) and now we can’t receive the updates from the new facility. I logged out to see if logging in again would fix the problem and now it’s asking me to pay again. Pretty trashy app.

Used it for 6 years!. When I first used it at work I shared suggestions, and kept learning how to use it. There’s so much you can do now. It improved immensely since then!! The only suggestion I have now is for us to be able to upload videos to parents. It would be nice to capture funny moments, or a kid first walking. Some parents have gotten mad if we’ve seen that first.

YWCA OF MINNEAPOLIS DOWNTOWN. One of the poorest ran facilities in the metro for childcare!! They have only the care of themselves as staff and not the concern of development for the children. The app itself is vague from the truth of the actual place where you leave your children throughout the day. This not being the first child that was cared for there I thought why not because as usual the staff may change but the app I thought would make it possible to communicate better, yet due to the age ‘complexity’ of ‘some’ staff they weren’t able to communicate through the app but called my personal number numerous times of ‘child-like’ behavior from a child??? But thanks child connect for the app, I’m sure once we he’s at his new facility they’ll have staff professional enough to learn the app.

Love the app. I have use daily connect for years. Its a huge enhancement for the parents and they absolutely love it. I recently upgraded though, I am a home provider, and it can get costly, but its not terrible considering the parents love having minute by minute updates. I have asked and still hope they come up with the video uploads enhancements soon, its the only thing I can say they are missing. As well as customizable reports!! I highly recommend it though! Gave it a four because of the fee per child vs flat fee and not capable of video yet;)!

Notifications are very inconsistent. Our notifications as well as the school’s notifications are very inconsistent. Even checking that they are “on” in all places on our phones makes no difference. This has been an ongoing issue for all of us. And just when you think it’s all good, then they stop coming again.

Has potential, but needs work. This app is used by my current daycare provider and I love that they use an app. I check this throughout the day and think it makes sense for every daycare to use. However, this app is a little sub-par for me. My previous daycare used BrightWheel which is much more new, fresh and innovative. It has a better layout, design and interface that I think DailyConnect is really missing. It's odd to me that DailyConnect lets me use the app as though I'm the provider (i.e.: I can enter feedings, diaper changes etc) and doesn't seem to have separate functions. There's so many great opportunities for this app, but right now it feels like I'm using an iPhone 3 vs iPhone 7.

Bug fixed after March 3, 2022, update. App works well after the developer fixed a bug from prior update that resulted in app freezing after update. The developer posted another update a couple days later, responded directly to my concerns in the app review, and fixed the bug. I appreciate the continued support for the app. The app works well to allow the daycare center to update me on my toddler’s day with picture and messages.

Broken notifications. Version 6.3.10 appears to have broken push notifications. In the app settings the notifications show off. When I flip it to on and hit save it turns them back off. Seeing how my child is doing throughout the day is nice without having to open the app.

Life saver and day stealer!. This app is amazing. Can't tell you how valuable it has been for both my wife and I to stay up to date on what our guy is doing at daycare. Also nice to look at before we go get him so we can prepare and be ready for the upcoming night! Awesome app, and I am sure it's all about how the staff uses it and the staff we have is great.

Love the app. I love this app. My nanny and I communicate through this app. The only thing I would suggest is if there some way to “like” a picture that she takes of the baby. That was she knows I saw it and I can acknowledge it.

👍🏻👍🏻. Been using for several years and have been happy with it. Support has been good. They always respond quickly to questions or problems. A calendar was added recently which is great! Only thing missing now is the ability to upload video and it would be great if it could store a list of commonly fed foods when logging meals/snacks. Most of us I think are rotating through the same meals. Having to type in what is served everyday is time consuming!

Best baby tracking app. I am one that NEVER pays for apps. This app is the one exception! It is worth every single penny! All the details that you get with the paid upgrade are very helpful when trying to remember things and being able to talk to the pediatrician about your baby. We have used this for all 3 of our children and HIGHLY recommend it to all of our friends!

DailyConnect App. As a inhome daycare provider I absolutely love the app and all the features it provides. My parents are able to see updates in real time. Out of other apps I have used I will continue to use Daily-connect hands down!!! There prices are extremely affordable as well!

Ojai baby. This app is amazing for any parent who is going back to work after maternity leave or any grandparent who is helping out with dropping off / picking up the little angels for the day . It really is comforting and cuts down on stress and anxiety to see the activity of the child . The app allows photos , it tracks how much sleep they are having , how much milk they have consumed how many dirty diapers , it also lets you send a message to the care giver it’s amazing . It’s so comforting to open up the app anytime of the day and see how your little angle is doing , and what kind of day they are having . It helps keep track of things for you too. On the weekends you can input your daily information. It’s so helpful. Your whole wellbeing is taken care of for you with this app knowing that your baby is being loved and cared for . I show it off anytime I get a chance . Thank you, Proud grandma

Subscription bites. I probably should have written this review a while back. I used to love this app until it went to a subscription format. I used to keep track of my children’s medical stats and symptoms when they got sick. Recently, while I was gathering data to store elsewhere I was reminded of how loyal users were priced out. To be fair I went back and looked at my purchase history. The history stated I paid $4.99 twice back in 2012. Once was for the iPhone version and the other was for the iPad version. I did get quite a few years of usage. But I lost the functionality after so much time and data were invested in the app. Be careful before they make changes again that push loyal users out.

Missing Features. Bring back the system where you can choose to mark things for only the kids that are marked in!!!! This was the best feature and made it soooo much easier to do updates instead of scrolling through all kids in the class to mark only the ones actually there that day. It was there for a short time and then you removed it and that was a mistake. Things get marked for kids that aren’t here from accidentally hitting those kids names.

Long distance Nana. I am loving my Grandson, Dax Owens from Michigan. I am very blessed by this app so I can keep up with his day to day development in between visits. Thanks to all the staff for your hard work and keep those pictures coming!!!

FDC Educator. Have only just started to use this app but think I may have found the solution to time effective communication with my parents; very excited!! Easy to use & covers all areas of care... Thank you!! :0)

Impressive. Such a great app! I'm a nanny and use it for my clients, it makes me look very professional and the parents love being able to see easily what the kids have been up to. Much neater than writing it down or sending an email. Very impressed.

Awesome. We use it all the time to connect with parents and family of children we care for. Definately worth it!

Love it!. Great interface, user friendly and awesome concept!

Have to pay to use. You can download and register for free, then literally every single feature requires a monthly subscription. Just open in a web browser and it’s all free.

Love this app. I have been using DailyConnect for 1 yr now and I am very satisfied with the ease and the quality of this app. The parents love it, I love it and I will keep using it for a long time

Bait and Switch. Paid for this app 2 years ago to follow what’s going on with my kids throughout the day. Now they want me to pay $12 a month to see this information.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Multiple photo upload is necessary. Daily connect is great for the most part, but it is very inconvenient that we cannot upload multiple pictures for a child at one time. As a daycare teacher, the photos icon is the one that gets used the most in my classroom.

Best. Best app for logging. Always stable. Sync is constant and reliable. Really a terrific build.

Love love love this app. The only reason I didn’t give the app 4 stars was because I wish it had the video option to share with parents.

FIX BUGS. After the last update I now don’t receive notifications. This is so annoying and really a negative thing considering I need the updates regarding the care of my child. Please fix!

:(. All you can see is the last entry for each care from daycare staff. I hoped to be able to see all past entries even in the free app. You have to buy $4.99 app to use any other part.

Would love the ability to zoom in on photos without having to save them to phone. Please fix! :)

Auntie Nanny. I nanny for my niece on a regular basis and we all love the ease of use and means of tracking and providing of real time updates that Daily Connect allows.

App glitches. App was okay but synchronizing is glitchy at times. Calendar option was cool until it got taken away and all they say is oh you weren’t supposed to get that feature. Apparently it’s for premium but pretty lame to give it and then take it away, would rather pay for a different app then support them now.

Go back to the old version!. The app worked awesome before the last couple of updates....it is not as user friendly anymore!

Notifications Turn Off. Why are the notifications always being turned off ?? I have to check daily if notifications are turned on or else I do not get notified for updates. I have checked Ann settings and do not have any focus modes or DND on. Please fix this bug

Awesome app. It’s an awesome app that connects me and my baby’s daycare. Viewing pictures and videos and knowing what’s going on to my baby are just so convenient and efficient.

Useful App. This is the app my children’s childcare center uses. I love it because it updates me throughout the day and allows me to message their teachers.

Nana loves it!. Great to be a able to see my grandkids playing and learning when I’m so far away! Next best thing to being there! 😍

Needs improvement. Parents and teachers shouldn’t have the same access or ability to edit the same things.

$$$ FYI nothing works unless you pay!. Don’t bother downloading unless you want to pay $5....I prefer the emails sent from the daycare, I only downloaded to add and email address and I couldn’t even do that!

For small business 😂. Nobody running a small business can honestly afford none of your service package options. Honestly. It's insane

Useful. Would have given 5 stars if it allows you to video. But still good.

Love the Updates. I love the updates but I wish the quality of pictures and videos was higher resolution.

Bait and switch. Those of us who previously paid $4.99 for this app are now being required to sign up for a subscription to get the most basic functionality. Essentially useless now. I would avoid updating if you can help it.

Great app. It is an excellent app for our daycare . The customer service is great , always open to any questions, suggestions and changes .

Feedback. It would be better if the activities that where logged in had a specific time and not just the time the teacher inputs the info.

Paid for app. I already paid 5$ for this App. Now it’s again asking me to buy additional features which I already had for another 5$. Why is that ?

Awful navigation. Do not like the parent end of this!! Awful navigation. Apple Watch app doesn’t show updates.

Daycare. Amazing app we love to see what our kids do throughout the day :)

I love this app!. Worth the money and really helpful!

Why do I have a notification. I have an active notification showing on the app but there is no reason I can find for it. There is also no way to message the teachers or daycare directly. Beyond that the app is awesome!

This is a paid app.. This is a $5 app. This is not a free app with in-app purchases. The app is useless beyond entering medical information without paying $5. I’m put off by the shady marketing of saying it’s a free app with in-app purchases. I’d prefer to just be told up front that it’s a $5 app.

Not user friendly. This entire program needs to be updated. It may have been one of the first and it shows

Great App. So glad our Daycare uses it. Great way to keep up with our sons progress. Even when I'm out of town I feel connected.

Useless. I trying using this app and website for my new nanny family and i even purchased the premium plan. It wouldn’t allow me to update my account outside of the demo.

Daily activities. This service is awesome. Thank you for switching. Love seeing grandchild daily since I live so far away. Thank you.

Does the job. Happy my son’s daycare uses it, but it needs updating. •The parent portal allows you to update feedings and photos and other daily logs (makes no sense) •parents should be able to download the profile picture of their kid •it shows the template entries (should be hidden to parents)

Not teacher friendly. I don’t recommend this app for programs. This app doesn’t have convenient ways for teachers to preplan their activities in the app. I like tadpoles much better.

Benjamin’s Day. I love seeing the day to day activities. It seems like he’s adjusting very well. Love the photos too!!

Notifications. Latest update completely eliminated notifications. App has them turned on as well as my phone.

Life saving for me!. I am a caregiver and it helps me keep up with each child and it's great accountability as well! All of my moms love it!!

The last update crashes after the second relaunch of the app. The last update crashes after the second relaunch of the app on iPhone.

New update. Am I missing something or are the timers that were above the icon no longer there??? This was a great feature and now it’s gone with the update. Not happy.

Awesome!. Our childcare center has only been using the app for a short period of time, but I love it already! It is so much easier to stay in communication with our child’s teachers and learn more about their day! Great product!!

Great tool to know how things are going at daycare. This has been an unexpectedly nice connection with the daycare

Since recent update app is crashing. Since the most recent update all the app does is crash. Even deleting the app, downloading again, and restarting my phone I cannot get the app to work.

The best app ever. We use this app at work and I love it! I'm able to check children in, or out, change diaper and update their information on the spot ! I love this app!

Crashed after purchase. I wasn’t happy that I needed to upgrade in order to see photos of my child at their new daycare. As soon as I upgraded, it crashed and froze. I turned off my phone and still same. What a waste.

Crashing on iPhone SE (2nd Generation). Edit: Update fixed this!

Fixed. I had a lot of issues with this app, but they fixed them

Pathetic. This app releases bug fixes once or twice a week yet there are still many. Last week they released a fix for not being able to turn on notifications. It didn’t work. I turn on notifications, hit save, and they’re still off. If your daycare center uses this, tell them to pick something else. Let me say it again. Pathetic.

I paid and it hasn’t realized I paid. I paid to upgrade my account but it hasn’t upgraded my account. So I’m on able to use the app at all. I am unwilling to pay for it again.

iPhone X support. This app does not support the iPhone X screen aspect ratio. Tried reaching the developer of this app multiple times via email. There is no response. Considering that this is a paid app they should have been proactive in coming up with iPhone X aspect ratio support. Also poor response from the developers is compelling me to rate this app as one star!

No notifications. The app had a problem and ‘fixed it’. The problem was the notifications stopped notifying on my phone and watch. I deleted the app, turned off my phone, uploaded the app again, chose allow notifications and I still am not receiving any.

This app rocks. So many awesome features. I love that I can message my daughter’s teachers. However, it would be nice if I could respond to messages I receive and comment on photos.
