Version 2.3.2
I like that I can see schedule for a day. I like that I can see pictures and video.
However, I do not like that I can’t download videos and when I download pictures I only can download a picture consisting from two smaller pictures (if they were uploaded this way) and can’t download them separately big size each picture.

Perfect App for Parents Peace of Mind

My daughter just started a new daycare that uses this app. At first I wasn’t sure if I would like it or not. I can honestly say that using this app has increased my confidence in the daycare that my child goes to. At my child’s previous daycare, my husband and I did not have insight into what her day looked like specifically. I always questioned what exactly they did (although I knew it was a safe place for her and was comfortable with the staff). At our new daycare, that uses this app, I feel incredibly comfortable and at ease when I drop my daughter off in the morning. I would recommend this app to all day cares if they don’t already use it. I also would recommend this app to parents who are given the option to use. Five stars.

Love this!

We love this app - and enjoy tracking our kids’ daily progress at school! We have had no major issues with the app. I do have a question — as most of us are extremely busy and not downloading the photos daily to keep for photo albums, our child is now graduating to start KG and I’d like to have easy access to all of her photo trail — is there a way to download all the photos in an easy, streamlined way?

Excellent!

Version 2.3.1
First, the app is pretty great! One suggestion... if you’re moving multiple children to the outdoor play area or to the gym, you have to click and scroll to the ‘room’ individually for each child. Now this can be quite time consuming if you are moving more than 1/2 children. If there was a selection box so you can move multiple children at once that would be AMAZING. The same goes with returning multiple children to their room. If you click return, it bumps you back to the top of the class list, so scrolling down to find the next child takes a lot of time. Thanks!

Bless this app.

Really like the app but I wish there were a few more features. I would like to be able to like the photos and comment on them without have to write a full email message to the staff.
Also would like if I could turn on some notifications but turn off others.

Good app but needs support for metric system

Our daycare uses this in Canada and we use the metric system. Not having this turned on is a big big letdown. Please fix.
Other than that, it’s a good app with some neat features.

Like the simplicity. Appreciate the information availability. Helps us plan our evenings and menus with feedback from staff.
Wish the incident reporting could be in the app too. Giving parents visibility the kids are off site for a walk is another nice to have.

HiMama is a wonderful app that lets me see what my child is doing at daycare throughout the day, such as what they have for lunch and what activities they were doing; reading books or playing with blocks. Highly recommend for any daycare facilities

I’m very happy with the service how they update you with daily reports attached with pictures too.
First, I thought I will be very nervous to leave my first baby with any day care. But seeing the lovely stuff how they deal with all babies & kids gave me relief big time. The staff are so lovely and very helpful. I’m so happy I chose helping hands!
Thank you guys very much for all what your doing for all kids and parents too.

Why Mama not Dada?

Version 2.2.6
It was the first thought I had when my son’s daycare introduced this system. Will someone in the team consider “updated” name for this? It is so outdated. Mamas don’t have to bear all responsibilities of the kids, and Dadas are more than ready to be involved in the parenting.

The whole idea of getting your child’s activity updates on your phone is much appreciated.
But There are few flaws too..
There is a problem with zooming the pictures. I need to download them and zoom it.
Is it possible to record videos in the app?

This is a great way for us to stay in touch with our kids and their care providers while we are at work. However I will say that my husband and I are equal parents and it digs at him that the app does not acknowledge that he too cares about how the kids days are going. It is 2019: I am disappointed that this app perpetuates the idea that mothers are the sole care providers.

Hi there,
We love having the HiMama app to stay current with our daughter’s daycare and communicate with them. However, since the last update we have not been receiving notifications which is delaying communication. Please HiMama developers send us an update to notifications are received as before. Thank you.

I love how it keeps you up to date with your child’s progress throughout the day.
For the reviews where the father’s are excluded, your childcare centre should add you as well. On that note, you can also add other family members like grandparents access so they can view reports as well.
Also, I was able to zoom in on the pics posted. I used and iPhone....

Our preschool used to use another app - which I enjoyed a little more. This app only shows a collage of pictures and you cannot zoom in. I wish we could see FULL SIZE individual photos of our child so we could save them and have them printed. These are precious memories of our child and I can barely see what is happening or zoom in on our child. Especially when multiple photos are added by the staff and we can’t see them individually.

I don’t like additional, non-child specific pop ups, nor do I like pop-up notifications about generic parenting related topics. This app is fairly functional for keeping track of the school day, however I’ll be getting rid of it soon if it doesn’t leave me the eff alone.

It’s for bigger centre based Daycare’s
