The system has been helpful as it can be used by both parents & teachers at school together! It's user friendly which makes using this product very simple! I have not found anything i dislike about buddycare so far but if you are looking something like an app then maybe look into another one? For me personally there isn't much of any difference between my current method (using google hangouts) or when we were first introduced with buddyparents!! We did notice how our students loved being able talk through things via phone/hangout etc., sometimes they would come home upset because someone was sick /etc.. With Buddypereators all problems will now fall under 1 roof instead having 2 different people try fix them separately!! Also its great seeing your children progress over time from start - end point too. You won.
