Takes a little bit of learning for some people to know how to use it. > > We are to communicate with families a lot easier and more quickly, we are receiving a lot more family input and feedback. ----- ### "Using Storypark from a Early childhood teachers perspectives." — 4.0/5 > **Gayle** | *3 April 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that the product is fairly user friendly especially going from the internet. I love how I can upload videos for the parents to witness what their child is saying and doing, video is much better than a photo to tell a story, however I will add photos also. > > **Cons**: The picture are easy to upload, however you can not do anything else with them apart from putting them straight up. I know another program we used to use allowed us to put the picture onto an angle and with stars around them etc. Not very happy with using the app as sometimes the picture just don't go up, however I just don't use it as often as I do going through the internet. As we are using tablet and windows computer, I struggle to be able to move pictures from one story to another. The photos go black and I have tried getting help a couple of times, not sure what I am doing wrong there. > > Overall I love it, I love how it is free for parents to continue to use once they leave kindergarten and I love how parents are able to contribute to their child's learning. ----- ### "More childcare friendly" — 3.0/5 > **Nicole** | *3 October 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I can open this up on any device anytime of the day, I like that we can communicate with parents, as a parent myself i love the new heart like button but maybe some more options here like laughing face, add any emoji you choose > > **Cons**: I am still finding parents are not liking it, some find it difficult to access, difficult to link up, some are just giving up, to view stories, as a parent myself i am enjoying the purple duck app, i dont like that i can not access plans on the app i had to log onto my online storypark to see this, as I am an educator I know how to do this but parents who are not familiar probably just give up > > I like it better than prior. I can see improvements, it's fantastic. My husband also enjoys it now getting a notification on our daughters day and he isn't very tech savvy ----- ### "Helping to create a school culture of open communication" — 4.0/5 > **Tim** | *2 April 2019* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy i9t is for my staff to share wonderful lessons and daily experiences with families. It is also a great way to communicate with families on a more personal basis, it is easy for most people to access and is more secure than texting or even email. > > **Cons**: Some of our families struggle to use the app on their phone. We try to help but technology can be confusing. I can sometimes find the menus a bit complex and information can be hard to find. > > Overall we are very happy with Storypark. It is making communication easier and more efficient. It is helping us to reach family members that in the past have been difficult. It fosters open and reciprocal information sharing. With our children that are non-verbal, it gives families a chance to see pictures and videos and share in their child's day. It is great fro reaching both sides of a split family in an equitable and open way. ----- ### "Perfect for educators and families" — 5.0/5 > **Sharni** | *3 April 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that parents / families can see in real time their children's activities, just upload and families receive a notification and can interact immediately. Also using on any device makes sharing stories so easy, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. > > **Cons**: Sometimes when uploading photos into a draft, it fails to load and you loose those photos that could have been taken using the camera feature. I always try to use my devices camera and upload from my device and not from the story. > > Parent interaction has been made so easy, families from all over the world, country or State can use the app to follow their child's / grandchild's day at care. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/471316/Storypark?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/471316/Storypark) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
