## Review summary

The Kangarootime Parent app offers valuable features for parents to track and communicate about their children at school or daycare, with a clean interface and useful check-in/out processes. However, many users report frequent crashes, slow photo loading, and unreliable notifications. Usability concerns include inefficient check-in workflows and confusing navigation behavior. While customer support can be helpful, overall the app needs significant improvements in stability, performance, and notification functionality to meet user expectations.

### Pros

- Provides useful features for parent communication and tracking child's activities at school or daycare.
- Offers peace of mind by allowing parents to receive updates and monitor child's day.
- Clean and easy-to-navigate interface as mentioned by some users.
- Helpful integration for check-in and check-out processes to daycare centers.
- Customer service can be responsive and helpful in some cases.

### Cons

- Frequent app crashes and performance issues, including hanging on loading screens and shutting down unexpectedly.
- Very slow loading times, especially for photos, even with good internet connections.
- Notifications are unreliable or missing entirely, leading to missed updates on messages, photos, and child activities.
- Tedious and inefficient check-in and check-out processes with too many clicks and no option to remember previous selections.
- Usability problems such as back button behavior taking users to the sign-in page unintentionally and inconsistent input methods.
