Just fabulous system to use for managers, team and parents ----- ### "Very impressed" — 5.0/5 > **Billie** | *22 February 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use - staff are all very happy with famly, much better than paper observations\! Parent friendly - parents all love the system and being able to see their little ones and what they are up to. > > **Cons**: Being able to edit one child in a group ob would be helpful. > > Very helpful :) Famly support over email are also very responsive and have solved many of our errors\! ----- ### "Expensive but does so much more than other apps it makes it worth it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Eva** | *16 May 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use Communication with families Invoicing and everything all in one app\! > > **Cons**: Some of the formats and limitations on sections of the app are annoying. Accident forms are lost if the screen times out- there will be no draft. When downloading the accidents the format of CSV confuses the information and it is not clear. A PDF or word doc format would also be brilliant. Staffing attendance and child attendance would be better if managers could adjust the times more easily. The sign in and out page, could be improved by being able to sign more than one in at once and not have to add a leave time. If the interaction with Xero was faster, i.e like banks electronically update Xero with the balances- it would be good if Famly interacted in the same way. Waiting list for sessions, for existing children already enrolled would also be so much better. > > Overall, we are happy and feel that despite the few things that could be improved it still feels more user friendly than some of the other choices on the market. ----- ### "User friendly screens, easy on the eye." — 5.0/5 > **Michaela** | *6 November 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything is on one site. Everything is very easy to understand and use. I like the overview page where I can see everything and I don't have to keep logging into seperate children, so I can get all of the information I need in one easy way. We have 11 rooms to monitor at our Nursery, so to get the information in one screen is perfect for us. We find sending messages to parents and staff very easy now, it is like a facebook page, but just for our parents and staff. > > **Cons**: We would like to not send out all accident forms and meals straight away, we would like to only publish later on in the day, this is because parents disturb your busy day by ringing, everytime they get a message if they are a concerned parent. We would have preferred a trainer to help set us up, rather than the face to face online training we got. > > Everything is easy to use and once we got our heads around how the system worked, by trial and error we really do enjoy using the system. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/59550/famly?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/59550/famly) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
