Self

There’s no additional customization that you can do either, like add stickers or turn the angle of the pic, etc. customer service really wasn’t great.

Student

I do not like having to go through all the photos to try and see if my child is in one of them

Analyst Programmer

So many features are missing like bulk download, sharing albums with family etc

Senior Program Manager

It’s a beautiful platform with tons of great features and a fantastic sales team.

Payroll and system administrator

Can see how my child enjoys going to school and what they are doing.

RECE

This app made engaging with families easier!

Love this app as I don't miss anything in my child's education

Sometimes it doesn’t transfer well from one platform to another, or goes black.

Teacher

I enjoy how it stores assessments and other data about each of my students and that parents can also check  On the data.

Advertising Specialist

The ability to tag specific kids and only show families what they want to see.

clerk

I think it should be one way to have communication with daycares and educational settings, but it shouldn't be the prime way.

Love being able to share moments with staff and family regarding children at daycare.

Software Engineer

for now, I have to save it to iPhone and share it with my mac, quite a detur

Senior Tutor

It's also increasingly important as it seems a lot more parents are shopping around and moving centres, Storypark being a stable, core, element of the education experience is really helpful in minimising the hassle  involved in switching centres.

Substitute Teacher

What I like most about this software is that it is easy to document the activities of children in one's early learning communities and use that documentation for instructional planning purposes.

Overall, Storypark is a convenient application that enables the purposeful documentation of children's activities to be used for instructional planning purposes.

Chief Executive Officer

A little bit confusing for non-tech Parents and guardian because of the app frequent changes and lack of story feature like adding the poll, etc

Great tool for meeting and conference

Teachers can stimulate students comfortably for learning.  

Makes it easy to keep an eye on progress and stay in the loop.

Educator

On mobile, the notification emails can appear poorly formatted, however this Issue does not carry over to desktop.

I can't say that I really found any cons with story park, except that maybe there should be a feature where you can turn off comments on photos.

I used this software to keep up with my nephew's progress while he was at preschool.  

On the app, I was able to see pictures, updates, and more.  

Internet Marketing Analyst

I like this platform because it is having very great features and for child learning with unique and creative manner.

This app is very helpful for busy parents who can't always keep up or meet the teacher at school.

myself

It helps with learning in lots of subject areas

Still a little clunky in around the commenting.

I felt like I was literally at daycare with my nephew day in and day out.  

All the features of platform are very easy to access and also user friendly for both parents and children too.

Coordenação Pedagógica

With the use of this app, managing school operations has become much easier.

Employer

It takes time to do software updates tailored to the needs of our business

Owner

I cancelled my subscription no [sensitive content hidden] and they are still deducting payments as of [sensitive content hidden].

Xplor education is practical and very easy to use.

Business Analyst

It handles most things well and streamlines the process of registration and payment collection.

Many features are not intuitive to set up and documentation is not always helpful even if it exists.

DIRECTOR

i sometimes struggle (and so do the parents) with reading the statements as fore mentioned.

We charge two weeks in advance which makes it harder.

BI Developer

The BI Analytics tool is very simplified and great for quick summary and understanding.

I swear every day I use this junk there is an issue.

Director of Mobile Children's Service

The Xplor accounting system works extremely well for Tharawonga. If the Master Roll is right then accounts are correct and charges are made to parents and it is very easy.

Owner/Director

So there system makes up its own subsidy estimate for families causing families statements to be incorrect.

Waitlist and enrolment process and management creates more work and not intuitive.
