Truly the best part of this system. It has a good interface and it seamless when it comes to the functionality. > > **Cons**: The features that should be improved is the parent portal; allowing them access to add emergency contacts (with center approval). It also should have an ability to print out a weekly attendance list with names under the days Monday through to Friday, without all the extra information, so it can fit one A4 page (landscape). This allows services to plan out their week at a glance. Not all services have enough ipads to do this. Also reports that can be added - a list of children names that attend each room for checklists etc. ----- ### "My views on owna" — 3.0/5 > **Rita** | *6 April 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: - it allows our centre to be paperless - app is easy to use - families are able to view their child's day easily - communication via families/educators and educators/educators is simple and effective > > **Cons**: - feel like i have suggested several ways that the app can be improved but its always placed on a waiting list such as making the linking of goals to posts via the app - we have several issues with girls losing their work via the app and portal - that only 20 photos can be uploaded at any one time > > \- i think when we first began with OWNA the app/portal was more stable, we now constantly have issues with the app/portal and girls losing written work. - ----- ### "OWNA made daily life easier" — 4.0/5 > **Kylee** | *5 July 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use this software for our Long Day Care Centre. OWNA is easy to use, navigate and explain to others. It is quick to navigate between screens and the processes are logical. My daily tasks are easier and more streamlined thanks to this software. > > **Cons**: Reporting is completed by transferring data to Excel. Would be nice to just be able to print a formatted report in PDF from the software (eg: end of month figures for our accountant, Bond summary) Half days and absences do not show in daily number overview. Many families find invoicing confusing, however this is on par with other software we have tried. > > We have used other child care specific software in the past and OWNA is much easier to use. It provides all of the information and data collection we require in a logical and easy to use manner. ----- ### "THANK YOU for your great software" — 5.0/5 > **Susie** | *2 August 2021* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Just want to give you a huge THANK YOU for your great software, but more importantly for the awesome help and support that your team have been providing over the past few months whilst our service has transitioned over from another software. > > **Cons**: I would like there to be an easy-print one page A4 daily rolls for admin purposes. > > Your team are the best and I especially love the fact that the team always call back if they don’t have the answers to my myriad of questions. I have felt really supported and am so happy that I have made the switch. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/200560/owna?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/200560/owna) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
