  Payment System is Terrible

  Their support site says there is a "wallet" feature to store up to 6 payment methods, but it's not true. And when I changed banks, they use Plaid to verify/connect now. That's normally great, but Procare's app settings force you to share all accounts with a given bank...and then they don't let you choose which one to use for payment. The result is that Procare loads the wrong account from my bank. I tried adding a debit card instead, but it charges the 2.9% fee just like for a credit card, even though it doesn't list any fees for debit cards. I used to be able to verify my bank with routing number, account number and 3 test transactions, but that option has disappeared now that they moved to Plaid. Other services I use with Plaid give you the choice of which accounts to share as well as manual verification if desired. This is a Procare app developer oversight, not a Plaid or bank issue. Very disappointing to start with, but then for me the result is that I'm forced to pay an extra $38 per month in fees now that Procare uses Plaid with improper settings. Not cool at all. Procare's "improvements" to their app are costing me money.

  User Friendly and Effective

  ProCare has made our site management easy and stress free. Billing, attendance, messaging, and clock in are right at our fingertips. My staff have been easily able to clock students in/out and take attendance. We have also been able to use the geo-fencing feature for curbside drop off and pick ups. We highly recommend this app to any schools or programs looking for something to help manage their site. M

  Bug-ridden

  Badge notification and simply bring able to scroll a timeline reliably has been riddled with bugs for years. Basic usability issues persist update after update.

• ★★★★★Friend in BA

  Procare - a great way to connect with teachers!

  Great way to connect with the teachers.

  Thumbs up

  Great app to keep up with kids schedules .

• ★★★★★Space-Captain

  It’s good, but please group notifications

  The app works well, the updates are nice, and sign in/out is nice. Please group or rollup notifications that are sent within a reasonable period of time. My devices start pinging when 20 updates happen all at once and it is incredibly distracting. I would setup a focus to get them later but I need to keep them on in case something urgent comes up

• ★★★★★My Wall E

  Beautiful

  They are so adorable 🥰

• ★★★★★Noneyabizn

  Terrible app

  Delayed communication on the app and forget trying to get help if you call unless you are a staff member. They don’t help parents only staff

• ★★★★★Not concerned Dad

  Stay connected, keep dependent

  Love the fact that teachers can take photos and provide updates on a daily basis of my child’s progress. Hate the fact that I have to another app on my phone! Oh well.
