User Reviews

Tapestry Mobile is valued as a communication and learning documentation tool connecting parents and nurseries. However, multiple Android users report significant issues including unreliable notifications, frequent upload failures for photos and videos, poor user interface with crashes, and complex login/account management problems requiring repeated password resets. These bugs and usability flaws hinder the app's effectiveness despite its beneficial core concept and strong privacy protections.

Pros

Great tool for keeping a running memory book and communicating between parents and nurseries.
Allows parents to stay involved in their child's learning journey and share achievements with staff.
Helpful for linking home and school, facilitating home learning activities.
High security measures to protect children's privacy (though this has had some issues recently).
Ability to add observations, photos, and videos to document child development.

Cons

Android app is buggy and poorly designed compared to iOS, with issues like crashing, slow responses, and poor UI/UX.
Notifications do not work reliably on Android despite correct permission settings.
Uploading photos and videos often fails or is very slow; 'media not found' errors occur especially with files not in the main camera folder.
Login and account management is confusing and frustrating, with frequent forced password resets and login failures.
App frequently logs users out, is unstable, and sometimes prevents deleting or editing entries.

Recent reviews

Bit hit and miss with complicated settings between you and nursery to enable notifications then randomly the notifications stop for android but ok for my wifes iphone, frustrating

Journal has a glitch where every time I try to scroll down the page it resets to the top. It's very difficult to scroll to the bottom and read the information. The android app is of very poor quality compared to the iOS counterpart, and this needs to be resolved!
