### "Nice addition to our program"

July 3, 2019

4.0

We've received amazing feedback from parents and teachers about its ease of use and functionality. I enjoy as an administrator being able to view what teachers and children are doing during the week and reading the feedback from parents.

Pros

Kaymbu provides a seamless way to deliver important information regarding a child's day and development to parents in an innovative way.

Cons

Sometimes the app crashes or doesn't start up which makes us revert back to using a paper form of daily notes which can sometimes take families by surprise.

This is the first app we tried and I think it's an important feature to have in place, just not sure it has all of the features we need

Pros

The communication between the center classroom and parents. Parents love the daily reports, comments from teachers about activities and the photos they receive

Cons

We have had issues with ipads and internet connections

### "Should I use Kaymbu for my school?"

July 3, 2019

4.0

The staff at Kaymbu was very helpful in answering any questions.

Pros

It was easy to set up classroom teachers and children. It was nicely set up (Appealing to the eye)

Cons

Parents couldn't respond to parents when they sent communication. It was difficult for teachers to use the pictures from their IPad and send them out to the parents.

January 23, 2019

5.0

Overall i really like this software, it made my job as a teacher a lot easier

Pros

I really liked using the kaymbu app on our classroom iPad to let the parents know about their child’s day. Yeah it was easy to insert their diaper changes, what they ate, etc. it helped teachers connect with parents

Cons

I didn’t love all the options that the app gives you, i think their could be better ways to upload pictures and thing like that.

### "Best teacher/parent app for special needs presch"

February 5, 2019

5.0

Parents love the app and truly feel more of a connection with me as the teacher. For me, I love the ease of the app.

Pros

This is the easiest app to use and a such a great way to keep in contact with parents. I love the “Daily Note App”.

Cons

I have difficulty coping word documents into the story boards. The words copy fine; but, not underlined or bold text. Also, would like to be able to edit to photos more when you send as moments.

### "Easy for teachers and parents"

June 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

We love how easy it is to create documentation both to send along to parents as well as to keep as an assessment record for children. The portfolios make assessments easy and fun for parents to read.

Cons

There are still some quirks, things like rotation with video, some tagging issues, etc. However whenever we reach out to customer support, they are very helpful and responsive

What I like most as an administrator and a parent is the daily note feature. It's easy to use as an admin and easy to read as a parent.

The portfolio and storyboard feature has been a little tricky to figure out.

### "Kaymbu"

February 8, 2019

5.0

The customer service is great and parents have been mostly happy with it.

Pros

It's a great way to filter pictures to the correct parent without having to send individual pictures

Cons

The tagging process is tedious. It would be better to have a tagging system like Facebook.

### "Great concept but has so much more potential!"

February 16, 2017

4.0

As a teacher, I use this app daily. I love being able to communicate with our parents at any time during the day. However, sometimes pictures will show as being taken in drafts, but then will disappear when I go to send them home later. We use storyboard for our portfolios and I love the ability to customize the look of each one, I would love a way to separate them easily into folders, not just with tags. The interface is easy to view, but I feel as if some of the functions could flow more easily. Overall, I love the app and the idea behind it!

Pros

The ability to communicate with parents in photo or text form throughout the day.

Cons

The stability of the app as it crashes often.

### "pros and cons of Kaymbu"

July 3, 2019

4.0

It is great we are saving the planet with less paper use. Parents do not have an excuse of not receiving information.

Pros

It is easy to use, to a point were you can communicate back and forth with ease. We use it for documentation of a child's development and can capture that teachable moment through picture or video.

Cons

some times I lose pictures or moments when you have to update it.

### "A great way to communicate with parents"

February 14, 2019

5.0

We have been using Kaymbu for three years now. It is our main form of communicating with parents what is happening in the classroom and we also use it in the newsletter format. The app is great as it reaches parents instantly and they are able to respond with their comments and questions. It has a very professional layout and had been very well received from our families.

Pros

It is very user friendly. If you need help or have any questions the team is always available and there are many help articles to help you if you can't get a hold of them.

Cons

The app can at times take long to load pictures and there are more functions on the desk top than the app.

Pros

Kaymbu makes it very easy for teachers to organize photos and observations and for parents to receive news and documentation.

Cons

Some features aren't able to be customized easily like the portfolios. The staff has been great at trying to adapt it to what we are looking for, but at this point, it doesn't meet all of our needs.

### "Elizabeth Wayne Preschool Review"

June 28, 2019

4.0

Overall great. Have trouble with the admistrator app on iPad, I have to go through on my computer. We wish that parents could easily email teachers administrators through the app. I also wish that I could add multiple teachers to classrooms so that they are in more than one.

Pros

The portfolio feature is easy for parents to understand.

Cons

Parents cannot message teachers through the app.
