It is user friendly, easy to set up, saves a lot of money in terms of not needing to print photos to stick into learning journals. > > **Cons**: It would be really helpful to have a couple of extra features: - we have three classes so when selecting a child for an observation I have 90 children to scroll through, some way of separating them by class to make it quicker to find them would be very helpful. For now the photos we upload have a different colour background depending on what class they are in which helps. -it would be great to be able to upload an observation for a group of children e.g. 6 who all did a number activity but for it to show up as a separate observation for each of them. Then I could go into some and add extra comments where necessary but would not have to repeat the process of adding the same title to each, same assessment to each and same initial activity description. I dont want them to all be in one group observation as different children may have said/done different things during the activity so I want it to be personal to them. -I think it would be great to have a version of the app for the children to use. they could then select their class and then find their own picture to select themselves. they could then take a photo of whatever they have done/made which they are proud of and then use the mic to record a little caption so they could say what they have done. As teachers/TA's we could then add on the assessment later. I think this would be great for Year R children and would love to use it with my class. > > I have really enjoyed using it, I used to have blisters from printing cutting and gluing photos into learning journals so it has been really helpful for me. Parents also really like being able to find out what their children have been up to - especially when they come home saying they did nothing all day\!\! ----- ### "Tapestry Software Review" — 5.0/5 > **Liam** | *November 28, 2024* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Tapestry's Observation have supported us to record a child's learning and development in an electronic journal. Tapestry's Management system is growing and the development progress is great. Tapestry are great at communicating when our suggested updates are made. > > **Cons**: Nothing that we do not like about Tapestry, but feel that the software is still growing to meet all needs of childcare settings. > > Tapestry's product has always been reliable. We rarely if ever have technical issues with the software, unlike others that we have used. The software is of good quality and the Tapestry team are helpful and Professional. ----- ### "Parent says MASSIVE NO\!\!\!" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *October 4, 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing, its from the 1970's Awful UX/UI/Password, and don't even get me started on the poor customer service\!\!
