### "Love getting updates throughout the day"

December 20, 2019

5.0

Pros

I enjoy getting updates on my kiddos throughout the day. It's nice to be able to reference the reports on HiMama to see what my children ate, when they slept and what activities they did at school that day. The teachers even send us pictures! My boys are just starting to talk so it's helpful that the HiMama app includes what kinds of things they were working on so that I have a better idea of what they are trying to tell me about. We also really like the messaging system because you can send a message through the app or by email. It helps keep the lines of communication open and that is reassuring.

Cons

Sometimes the reports finalize at strange times. I'll get a message 5 hrs after my kiddos have been picked up that says the report is now final. I'm not sure if it's something the teachers are doing differently on some days but it's just odd.

### "Great App as a User!"

January 3, 2020

5.0

Love the app! Makes it so easy to see what my child is up to every day and keep track of what they have eaten, how many times they were changed or used the bathroom (even during potty training stages!), and even allows me to effectively communicate with the teachers. It also keeps everything accessible to look back at when needed, which i love especially for the photos (which you can also download to your phone). Great app!

Pros

Easily displays my child's day to day activities and stores all of the great photos taken by my childcare center that are easily accessible, downloadable, and saved to access later if needed.

Cons

Not sure if this is the software, e-mail capabilities, or on the child care center's submission end but sometimes i'll get e-mails with what is supposed to have a picture of my child but it doesn't load or even show that there is supposed to be a photo of some sort. They are just blank. Otherwise, everything else works great!

### "Easy to use"

February 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

It’s very easy to use and maneuver through. I have two kids using it and separates them very nicely. Easy to follow their days. Automatic payments makes it easy to just sign up and be up to date on invoices.

Cons

I’m set up for automatic payments and it always seems to be almost a week behind. Not sure if it’s a HiMama thing or a financial institute thing.

### "Great App!"

November 28, 2022

5.0

I really like using the HiMama app. We check it every day my daughter is at day care to keep updated on her day :).

Pros

I love the ease of use and the ability to stay updated on my daughter's day so easily. We love seeing what she's doing, learning and eating for the day!

Cons

I honestly can' think of anything that I don't like about this software. I think that it's laid out well.

### "Love it!"

January 18, 2020

5.0

As a mother who uses the app my experience so far has been very positive. It substitute the physical agenda, makes it super convenient to check on the child information during the day as/if needed and it is also nice to be able to see my child and her friends on daily pictures and videos during the day.

Pros

As a mother who works full time I love to receive and be able to check info and updates on my daughters activities during the day using the app. It is simple yet complete and easy to use. It is also a tool to facilitate communication with the day care staff - teachers and directors.

Cons

I think there's room for improvement on the communication with center staff and directors

### "Great Idea/Purpose - few things to Improve"

December 19, 2019

4.0

Overall it’s a great app and feature to have for any child. It’s issues are minor and should work there way out, but the benefit of knowing what your child is doing during the day outweighs any con.

Pros

It’s great to see your child checked in (if another parent or person drops/picks up). Seeing progress during the day, pictures, videos, things they are learning is awesome. Picking up your child and asking questions (knowing what the answers should be) is a great way to communicate and be active with your child’s life.

Cons

The software and programming is not perfect yet. It’s difficult to understand which child (when you have 2 or more) is being mentioned/addressed in messages or updates. Also duplicate messages go out frequently. Also the pictures and videos do not load correctly on the phone, swiping right or left always gets messed up or glitches and exits out of the app. I also can’t view the images correctly. The user friendliness of the whole app seems a bit off and that a few improvements could make a world of a difference.

### "Daycare provider "

January 11, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like that I could quickly go in and click on the person I was looking for and communicate in real time, the alerts would go right to their smart device on the app

Cons

It was definitely a learning curve for a few of the parents which took a bit of time out of the day, once they have the hang of it it was all right

### "Love this app"

December 19, 2019

5.0

I love how easy this app is to use. At a touch of a button I can find out when and what my 2 year old ate, how long he napped, when he had his diaper changed, and photos of his activity throughout the day! I also like that I can see these updates in real-time. Our previous daycare used a different app that wouldn’t allow us to see his daily updates until his teacher signed him out at the end of the day.

Pros

Ease of use, real-time updates/entries, clear photos, and way communication with teachers

Cons

I don’t have a con for this app. It provides us with everything we need.

### "The HiMama App is Spectacular!"

January 15, 2020

5.0

My overall experience with HiMama Preschool & Child Care App has been very positive. As previously mentioned, I can share my daughter's journey with her and this is fantastic. I can also watch her and help communicate my matters with the staff with ease.

Pros

I love the communication HiMama offers. I feel like I am with my daughter on her journey, as opposed to outside of it. I love the ability the software has to communicate with the staff and the photos and information on this app which help me understand the value of the staff and the program itself. I can share my daughter's journey with her and this is fantastic. I can also watch her and help communicate my matters with the staff with ease.

Cons

To be honest - I do not have any problems with this software. I feel comfortable using it. The only thing I would have liked is to have more videos.Other than that - I love this software.

### "Practical and easy to use"

August 6, 2018

4.0

HiMama effectively meets all our needs as childcare providers - it is simple to use and functional for our work environment. It has been greatly beneficial to promoting open communication between staff and parents, providing many opportunities for positive interaction throughout the day.

Pros

I love how quick and easy it is to check children in/out, log daily activities, and keep in contact with parents. Having all my necessary features in one app is super convenient! I also like that I can access the app from multiple devices and log in at any time.

Cons

The app tends to crash often, this can be frustrating in the middle of a log. As well, program planning can be finicky/difficult to use when on mobile or tablet - we have had issues with this feature not saving work once the app is closed or if the app crashes.

### "Dad checking in on my kids"

January 15, 2020

4.0

Pros

I love seeing pictures of my kids, seeing what they are doing for the day. Its useful to know if my 4 year old took a nap during the day and if my 2 year old is eating his lunch.

Cons

Not as much a con, more of a what I would like to see for improvement. I would like to see the app integrate with a scannable check in or check out for my children. A barcode or a rfid tag when we are checking them in and checking them out. Our daycare currently uses a sign in/out log. I would also like to see more pictures of my children. This might be accomplished with reminders to the teachers when a picture of a child hasn't been taken for a while. Another useful item would be an integrated live feed from the daycare. I can log into my ring cameras at home anytime I want, shouldn't I be able to do the same with my children?

### "Why Hi Mama works for our preschool and families"

August 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

The details and ability to click without having to write everything in detail.

Cons

I wish I could click the names of kids under fluids or toilet, for example, and add the times and detail for each right at that moment without having to upload each entry one at a time. For example, if it is 2pm and we have not had the chance to enter two feedings and three diaper changes for 11 kids, it would be quicker if we could click on the item like toilet then click on the child, then add all three times in, rather than one at a time....it would be faster for the user.

Reason for choosing Lillio

Because at the time it was only compatible with ios and that was too expensive of an investment for me to provide for my staff. Hi Mama was compatible with kindle at the time and that was way more affordable for us

### "Very Satisfied With HiMama"

September 4, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love the interactions we can have with parents. As a parent who has children in a centre that uses HiMama I love learning about my children's day and see what they have been up to. As a coordinator I love that we are able to show parents what is going on how and show how their child(ren) are/is learning.

Cons

There isn't any huge issues. Sometimes I wish we could save items in the app and send them when we are in wifi. Sometimes things aren't sent because of internet services so that's on our internet not the software.

### "highly recommend Hi Mama!"

January 23, 2020

4.0

I have used it for almost 4 years, and I love that I can communicate with the staff (Schedule, questions etc), seeing what my child is doing throughout the day also leads to discussion after picking them up. showing him the photos and asking questions to create conversation.

Pros

staying in tuned with the daily events and what my child is doing through out the day, I love seeing pictures of what he is up to when I am at work. I enjoy that I can communicate with the staff as I am not always the one to pick him up and drop him off. I also enjoy the articles, tips and tricks that are posted. My child is a very picky eater so my favorite feature is seeing the meals that he had throughout the day and knowing how much he ate, helps with meal panning (dinner).

Cons

I don't really have anything negative to say, I truly enjoying the app I highly recommend using it.

### "Himama App Review"

December 19, 2019

4.0

Overall I love the real-time, comprehensiveness of the app. It’s a huge improvement over the paper sheets that daycares were using previously. It’s hard leaving your baby with someone and this helped ease my transition back to work after maternity leave knowing I could get photos, videos and updates sent in real time.

Pros

I like that we can see everything in the app: real time photos and videos that the caregivers post, my baby’s feedings, diaper changes, nap schedule and we can export reports and the end of the day. It’s a really simple communication tool where messages can be left regarding need for more supplies, child updates, etc. My extended family loves the app too because I can add them to our account with different access levels so they can see the photos and videos posted of their niece/granddaughter everyday and they LOVE that.

Cons

On an iPhone it appears their are still some bugs to be worked out. Despite have notifications set to on I no longer get push notifications when an update is added. I have to go into the app to see if anything new has appeared and I have to restart the app to get it to refresh. These bugs started maybe about 3-4 months ago only.

Pros

communication with daycare center, also the ability to track the child's activities

Cons

They charge users for HD pictures if you want to download them. The images posted online are so blurry sometimes I cannot see my child clearly. There is limited customization for pictures so sometimes viewing them is not easy too.

### "HiMama Child Care App"

January 23, 2020

5.0

The benefits I have realized is being able to keep up with the daily activities my children are accomplishing while I'm at work. It's extremely beneficial to message my children's teachers throughout the day about any random questions or concerns that might come up. The response time is quick and efficient and if I need to leave work for a sick child, the messaging feature allows me to know what's going on at all times at daycare.

Pros

As a working parent it is reassuring to receive updates throughout the workday about my children - knowing exactly what they're doing and sometimes even seeing pictures of them, which is great!

Cons

The Milestones feature - my husband and I do not use this feature. I do not feel compelled to add my children's personal milestones onto an app. Other parents and guardians might enjoy, but it just isn't a priority for my family.
