Very informative
Overall, I really like BrightWheel. I've used similar apps with other institutions in the past, but I like this one most. I find it is very versitle.
Pros
I like the constant communication from my child's teachers in the app. I love receiving photos and being able to react to them. It makes me feel engaged.
Cons
I am unable to message my child's teachers directly. Every message I send goes to all teachers and administrators. Sometimes, I have a simple question (like, did my child have a potty accident), that seems silly to ask everyone in administration.

It was easy to set up and use! The parents and staff in our center also found it easy to use and enjoyed sharing information in this way!

The cost was a little higher than similar products.

This App is terrible
Pros
Honestly-Nothing! As a parent who uses this app daily I find it to be awful!
Cons
This software does not allow you to see multiple kids at once on a feed without going back and forth. Going back and forth between children is a pain!! Then when I select a child the default is Profile view, I am the parent I don't care about the profile I want to go right to my child's feed. It would be nice if there was a quick view to check in and just see a quick update of all my children on the home screen. There are times when I only have a minute or two to look quick and I just can't with all the back and forth clicking between kids and not being able to see their feeds without some more clicking. I also hate that when a nap is ended it doesn't show the time napped. I only get that at the end of the day when I get a summary after my kids are checked out. I know I can look and see when they started and then when it ended and figured it out, but the starts are not always logged and visible. A summary on their feed would be nice. I also know there are other glitches with this app especially with the pay and checking in and out of kids. My daycare center does not like this app either, but they don't have a choice. The app that was used before this was called Daily Connect and it was absolutely wonderful. You could leave notes, see feeds or multiple kids for quick glances. Yes, there was not payment option on that to keep things simple, but bright wheel doesn't keep things simple now. As a parent & daily user of this app w/ multiple kids , it is TERRIBLE!
