### "HiMama"

February 24, 2022

5.0

Great!

Pros

A great app to access information from my sons daycare about how he is doing throughout the day, it puts my mind at ease and allows me to focus on my job.

Cons

It can be a bit slow to move back and forth between the different feature. I dislike having to click on the pictures to read the caption/see content.

### "Great way to stay updated with daycare! "

February 22, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love that it keeps me updated with what my daughter is doing daily at daycare - including what she eats, how much she eats, diaper changes, and activities that they do.

Cons

I would like if the time stamps stayed on posts and pictures.

### "Preschool "

January 23, 2020

4.0

I loved being able to know my baby was alright while I was busy working. It just giving that peace of mind.

Pros

It was great when I went back to work leaving my little one and getting updates all day long including photos. Puts my mind at ease seeing her and knowing she was ok. It was easy to use and operate also allowed me to share with others.

Cons

For the baby stage they would tell me that she ate but I wasn’t able to see what she ate or a menu attached not sure if it was the school or not able to. There were also times were I could only see photos and no information about her day to day activities.

### "Pretty good but room for improvement"

January 15, 2020

4.0

Overall have enjoyed keeping up with my child’s day while away. Always wish care providers had more time to upload more photos but I know they’re busy!

Pros

It shows what’s most important to know about my child’s day and I like the organized report. Love the photo capability of course.

Cons

User interface could be better organized - mainly the labels/tabs at the bottom. Glitchy switching between tabs at bottom and especially when switching between home and report screens. I often must close out of app and let it refresh to get it to work. Doesn’t automatically refresh much after notifications have been sent. Misses photo notifications often. Wish it showed times when meals are input by providers - it shows times for all other entries so not sure why not for meals?

August 4, 2021

5.0

Overall I think it is an amazing app to help parents feel at ease while their children are at school.

Pros

I loved being able to see what my child was doing during the day and also paying invoices online.

Cons

I like the product and didn't have any issues while I was using it.

### "Daily breath of fresh air"

March 9, 2021

5.0

It has been such a breeze using HiMama. Sending a note to the school or getting in contact with school is so easy, and convenient. The response time is so quick.

Pros

This is such a great convenient way to update parents throughout the day while they are in daycare. You are able to see what they are doing, eating, how long they sleep, and get pictures all throughout the day. It is amazing to be able to get this update daily, and is such a good feeling being a first time mom and being so nervous sending your baby off to school.

Cons

Some times the pictures are hard to get. They will be there, and you try to click on them and then you cant get out of it. Saving the photo isn't that easy either. There should be an easier way to navigate through the day and pictures.

### "Ups n Downs"

December 12, 2019

3.0

Pros

It is easy for parents and they seem to like most of it. I like being able to go back and look at daily reports, activities, and notes.

Cons

I don't like that families are not grouped together-example for a family with four children, I had to put the parents info in four different times. I do not like that I can not choose how my children are listed-my old software gave me the choice of by name, age, class etc. I don't like that the food report isn't listed by age, which is how I need it to be. I don't like that parents can not see a yearly calendar that I set up . I don't like that children are not listed by last name at check in and families have to either type in the search bar or scroll to find all kids-and if they do use the search bar you either have to backspace to remove what they put in or you only get a partial listing

Reason for choosing Lillio

It was simpler than Procare and more user friendly than Kindertales

### "Great App Especially for New Parents"

January 15, 2020

5.0

Pros

I like that throughout my day I can see when my child care provider enters photos and information and I feel “in the know” about how my child’s day is going.

Cons

I dislike that the provider gets to choose whether you get real time updates on some information or not. I would like to know this as they happen. For example nap lengths. Lots of times I won’t know how long my daughter napped until well past her bedtime. Knowing it would help me adjust her bedtime accordingly. Ideally, having the parent be able to decide on push notifications for all/some/none would work better than the centre making that choice.

### "Peace of mind for parents"

August 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ease of contacting childcare center and receiving messages and updates. It provides a lot of peace of mind during the workday.

Cons

1\. Can't press "back" to exit application on Galaxy S7. To get out of it I have to go to the task manager and swipe the whole app away. 2. Permissions aren't as granular as I'd like. For example, it's great if grandma gets to see daily photos of what's going on in the classroom. But, that doesn't mean she needs to see every back-and-forth message to the teacher.

### "Daily toddler checking app"

August 31, 2021

3.0

Not very pleased and rather try other available app for better management

Pros

Good start point to share daily activities, pictures and information of the kids with parents. It can be a group info or indiviual update.

Cons

Not sure if the emails are always correct or have checking possibilities for staff before shooting out an email.

### "A connection to my child’s day "

January 5, 2020

5.0

HiMama doesn’t just give me a connection with my child throughout the day, it also makes it super easy to connect to my child’s teachers. I can see what activities my child will be participating in during the day and I can send a quick note to a teacher when needed. I wouldn’t want to live without it!!

Pros

I love getting notifications of a photo or an activity my child is participating in during the day. I feel connected and it’s also something we enjoy talking about together (and my child enjoys seeing the pictures too) at the end of the day.

Cons

It took me a little bit to figure out how to navigate but I eventually got the hang of it 😊

### "Great product"

March 3, 2022

5.0

Pros

I enjoy the fact that the teacher can display and share pictures of my child throughout the day.

Cons

I wish the daily report was completed once you check your child out of the school rather than waiting on the teacher to send the report.

### "Glad we have it."

May 24, 2019

5.0

Pros

When we first signed up, we received an update/summary at the end of each day for our children. If teachers had a question or a note to send home, they could do so through this program and those notifications showed up in an email. Now that I have the HiMama app on my smart phone, I enjoy it even more because I receive updates throughout the day about my children. Using the app or simply logging into the website, you have the option to also message your child's teachers throughout the day. This program, whether you have the app on your phone or not, is a great way to stay connected while you are away from your child.

Cons

It takes time to learn how to navigate the site. Otherwise, no complaints as of yet.

### "Review for HiMama"

November 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

Daily Interaction is the best feature which I want to mention. Also, the price is very reasonable and commendable. The app is easy to use and graphics are user friendly. My most requirements are fulfilled in one place.

Cons

I am really not sure about whether it has any cons but as I am not tech savy, please ensure data security.

Reason for choosing Lillio

I found reviews better than other similar apps.

### "Parent Perspective "

March 3, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like being able to see pictures of my child while she’s in daycare and what activities she’s anticipating in. I also like the fact that educators can specify what my daughter is up to/ skills she’s learning. The food/ toileting feature is also very helpful.

Cons

Nothing—everything works well for my purposes of monitoring my child’s time at daycare.

### "Hi-mama review"

February 26, 2022

2.0

Pros

I enjoy getting notifications when things are put in for my boys. When teachers add pictures it’s right in the app and not another app.

Cons

I wish for each child I could view their daily reports separately instead of on one page. Communication once the school has messaged back can be hard to reply sometimes without starting a new message. So that can get confusing.

August 4, 2021

HiMama is a wonderful app to keep track of what my students do throughout the day so their parents can see it at night. It’s also great as a parent to see everything my child is doing during the day!

Pros

This software is super easy to navigate

Cons

Make sure to get notifications for each message received

### "Amazing app (although needs small improvements)"

December 19, 2019

4.0

Like I mentioned earlier, this app helps me understand my child’s day, let’s me know what she’s learning and how happy she is. Chips off a little bit of the mom guilt.

Pros

I loved that I was able to download the pictures that the daycare teacher took of my child. As a working mom that isn’t with my child during work hours 5 days a week, it’s gets tough. But seeing how many activities she has and how much she is annoying herself takes the guilt away. This app also allows me to monitor what she eats, her nap schedule and bowel movements which tells me if she is eating or drinking enough, if she’s tired when she comes home and if I need to top up anything during the week/weekend. It honestly just gives me a peace of mind. Absolutely love it! A daycare that uses this shows me they care and that they are transparent about how they treat my child.

Cons

Although great, this app doesn’t have the ability to download videos!!! My child has been going for mini dance classes in daycare and it’s a shame I can’t save or share them. The home/picture virtual button is sometimes unresponsive, but like any other software, there’s lots to load and it happens. It doesn’t happen too often so I’m not especially bothered by it but could be an improvement.
