Tadpoles vs Brightwheel for Daily Reports??

[Indoorvoice]

I use brightwheel and I like it. I only update meals/bottles, diaper changes, and naps for infants. Anyone over 1 I only log meals and naps. I made very clear that I would only log at nap time so I don't have parents worrying about updates throughout the day. I actually don't mind the payment method at all and like that it sends them automatically. I like the check in kiosk. It has eliminated the parents letting their kids scribble all over my sign in book.

Would it be completely unheard of if i did not use an app that gives a report? -Gasp!!!-

I currently use brightwheel. However, I feel like I have to have my phone in my hand constantly to send updates. It's getting old. I like brightwheel and the parents love it but I wonder if I told them in a positive way that
it would be better for their child if I'm not busied by the constant phone interruption, or would that be a completely awful decision?

Or maybe I need to switch to tadpoles so that I just have one time I need to remember to enter things before the end of the day.

YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!!!!!!!!! That has been my experience and challenge with Brightwheel.

I am going to switch to Tadpoles, Seesaw, Paper Daily Reports (gasp) or just a Shutterfly Class Site (Shutterfly would be doing group updates not individual).

I have already fazed out Brightwheel for everything buy payments and explained to parents that in the interest of limiting screen time children were exposed to I would not be able to do Brightwheel updates as the phone was distracting to the children. Only one mom who struggles with her sons sleep really was disappointed.
