Consultant Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Illumine is great and long way to go!" April 14, 2020 5.0 Illumine replaced the handwritten diary notes from my child’s school. I was assured by the school that I will get continuous updates. I was not disappointed. I am able to check the food menu every day and accordingly decide whether to send the meal or not. Previously I had to followup with the teachers about the medicine notes for my child. Now I simply have to log on and log a medicine note. Pros I simply love their medicine and concern section in the app. It saves lot of effort on both on my side and the teacher side. Cons They can improve their push notifications. At times it comes with a delay. I have raised it to them and they have said they are working on it Review Source AR Ankha R.

It has been easy to learn though I feel the interface can be much better designed. Pros The updates are very easily visible. The media gets uploaded quite fast. Cons I can only upload either a photograph or a video, the option to upload both is not available. I feel tbe user interface and design can be improved and more options for text and font can be available. Review Source Response from Illumine Labs October 30, 2020 Thank you for the feedback. We are releasing a revamped User interface where you can upload files, video,s and images together. This will be available by end of november. LH Logan H.

Review Source Response from Illumine Labs March 23, 2020 Thank you for taking your time out and reviewing us Mr Logan. We have an option to enable comments for photos but it is activated based on the school's discretion. We will reach out to your school with the feedback and hope they allow us to enable this feature.
