No Telephone Support

Another company that does not have phone support for when their site is down. Recommend to shop other vendors that actually provide customer service.

Review coming from a parent and teacher

I’m enjoying the brightwheel app, but being a parent and a teacher in the same school I really wish there was some way to be able to join the accounts together. It’s difficult to be able to check in on my son and update/ be available for my student’s families at the same time. Signing in and out of accounts all day isn’t ideal. I do enjoy the learning portion of the app, the lesson plans have been great.

So many confusing design decisions

UPDATE: I will paraphrase the developer response: “staff members have a list of codes”: we don’t care to fill this data or provide it from a list despite the fact it exists in-app. “You can change your code”: we don’t care that there’s a three step process replacing a physical one step process, just memorize it. My one star review stands, this app complicates the relationship with my provider rather than simplifies it. This app is counter intuitive for signing my child in and out of her school. First, I need a code (which the app remembers and is required to sign up), but when I scan the QR code (location validation) I have to enter the code—which is stored, but I can no longer reference without canceling the check in— followed by a checklist, and—finally—a signature. How this is better than signing my name on a sheet I can’t fathom. I’m sure I’m stuck with it until I convince the board to drop this software, but forcing me the remember a pin for check in each day while juggling a toddler, backpacks, and a lunchbox is an irritation. This could be seamless, but it isn’t optimized for the parents, it is optimized for the day care provider.

Love it, just a few wishes

I do really like brightwheel for keeping tabs on my kids during the day. I wish there were more options to respond to pictures. Also I wish that me and my husband could see what the other person said bc it gets confusing when I send a note and the teachers respond and he isn’t sure if it’s something he needs to respond to.

Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves.

Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
