brightwheel: Child Care App - Latest Quality Issues
iOS

Garbage App
The new settup links they text you don't work they send you to App Store instead of actually opening app. The customer service is a bot and does not help. If your school uses this app run and find a new school.

Loved the app but hated constantly getting overcharged
We loved the app but, it's brilliant, but got constantly overcharged by our school, and each time it's a huge pain to get the erroneous charges refunded. BrightWheel doesn't let you cancel AutoPay in the app, even if the school overcharges repeatedly. Even after cancelling our contract with this school, BrightWheel would not let us cancel AutoPay. For parents this is a nightmare. I reached out to the BrightWheel support about this. They repeatedly reaffirmed that they cannot disable AutoPay for my account. I kept insisting that they have to again and again. It took forever, but ultimately, they disabled it for me. Which means they lied about it the whole time while I am being overcharged repeatedly by thousands of $. Again, we loved the app but minus one million stars for turning a blind eye to abuse of their payment system and for flat out lying about not being able to disable autopay.

This app has some great features but it's annoying to navigate and it limits the features you can use on mobile. They call and want to train you with multiple live meetings which is great except who has time for that just to use the app/program? You have to follow very specific click paths to get what you need. It's not intuitive or quick. I always find I want to click attendance or messages by going to the child's name where I do all the other things for them but you have to do those separately

Parent and Teacher here. It sucks that you can't select a teacher when adding information. Like who changed my child's diapers, etc. I've taught at a couple of schools, and this app is one of my least favorite reporting apps to use.

We like the app. It would be helpful to be able to use the app on a smart watch. There are times I need to go phone free and use only my watch, but I can't for the fear of missing a notification or message.
