I like the message option for all staff or just admin. It makes it easier as parents work throughout the day can feel connected to their children. > > **Cons**: I wish there were ways teachers can upload or include moments in the classroom without feeling tied to a tablet. And the pay function I wish was easier to use. I don’t like putting my card info and have my account withdrawn and I was prepared for yet. > > I love the app\! I know the teachers and admin have to make efforts to utilize the features more but maybe a way to make it easier can make the difference. ----- ### "Happy teacher :) and happy parent :)" — 5.0/5 > **Olivia** | *23 April 2026* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy brightwheel is to use. Other apps that I’ve used before have not been this way to use. It is cheaper than what my company was using before and I love that. It’s so easy to manage my students and see where they are at all times. I’ve never come across any bugs or issues. I love that I can easily use it on my phone or my computer if I have more time. It’s very easy to share pictures with parents and other staff. I’ve never needed to reach out to customer support so no advice there\! > > **Cons**: I actually really love brightwheel. I haven’t come across anything that I would change about it. It’s been a breath of fresh air after the other app I came from. > > Extremely positive. I was scared about making the switch to brightwheel but I really am glad we made the switch now. ----- ### "Great parent interface and easy for everyone to navigate, parents and teachers\!" — 3.0/5 > **Joyce** | *12 November 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Brightwheel is a very parent-oriented app. It is extremely user friendly. It has extensive capabilities when it comes to daily reports and updates for the child. It allows parents easy access to staff and to have a in real time picture of the child's day. From a teacher standpoint it is easy and intuitive to use. On the tuition side of things, parents have access to all of their tuition payment records and can schedule payments independently of the school. Posting payments is simple for the administration. > > **Cons**: I would be very helpful if the data could be used for other purposes and easily adapted to such things a roll call list, classroom rosters. emergency lists etc. While you can export the data to excel spread sheets it would be very helpful if they provided pre-configured options for these necessary reports. > > I was very happy with the parent interaction and the easy with the billing. If we were looking to increase our classroom visibility i.e. updates, photos etc. I would have continued to use this application. ----- Page: 1 / 131\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/144060/brightwheel?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/144060/brightwheel) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
