It significantly reduces the hassle of organizing carpools and cuts down on excessive texting among families.

2023-09-13	Mi*****	This is my second year using carpool kids. I used it free for an entire year and it was wonderful for running one carpool group. This year I've got three kids in three different schools, and since mom lives on the other side of town, We have five carpool groups this year. Now I'm finding the app hard to use. There's a simple fix. The app needs the ability to hide/show specific carpool groups and their associated activity. Otherwise, this app is great.
