Pros
It’s any parent’s dream come true. Plus it’s a user friendly app that guides you through the process of finding a good day care for your children.
I really loved the amount of tools and reports also the functionalities HiMama provides. The price in comparison to the return value to outstanding and very commendable.
Love the updates throughout the day. Love the reports and the ability for photos and videos to come through.
Cons
I am a worried mom , just like a lot of other moms. I worry that I don’t spend enough time with my child , that I’m not always as attentive as I can be , I worry that sometimes I work too much.
Not so much the software that I have a problem with as to the amount your people call and email me. It makes me feel obligated and pressured when I shouldn't feel that way.
I did not find a thing about this app that I could find wrong with or criticize.

Love it!

Reviewed 3 years ago

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 osx app with minor improvements required

Reviewed 3 years ago

I'm very happy with my experience! I think it's a generally well made app (have had one hard crash that I can remember) and does what it advertises extremely well. I just think some tidying around the edges wouldn't hurt in terms of user experience.

Pros

Handy updates are streamed to me on a regular basis. I feel confident that information is up to date and the notifications help as well. The experience in this regard is fairly seemless.

Cons

For the most part, I don't open the app outside of receiving a notification about my child save for rare circumstances where I need to look up a photo or particular piece of information. When I do, I would really prefer a landing screen that indexed more information than the daily report and allowed me to tap in to that section from there. So, highlights from photos/report/entires etc. I also personally...

A very convenient service for parents whose child attends daycare

Reviewed 4 months ago
Pros

I use the HiMama service to interact with my son's daycare. We receive information about what's happening during the day, how the activities are going, and how our son spends his time in daycare. Teachers send us photos and short videos of our son, showing what the children are eating and which games they are playing. This gives us the feeling that we are always up-to-date. The HiMama interface is simple and intuitive. You can send messages and communicate with teachers through chat, which is convenient when you can't talk on the phone. The service has a web version and a phone app. The service helps us stay more informed and participate in our child's life. We can see how he's developing, what makes him happy, and what successes he's making in his studies.

Cons

Expand the functionality for teachers so that they can provide educational materials and track the progress of their completion by children
