We are excited to announce the launch of our first premium features this month.
We’ve taken all your comments into consideration, (both compliments and suggestions for improvements), and have incorporated your feedback into new features in the pro version of the GoKid app.
So what are the premium features of GoKid Pro?
- One of the key features that our users have asked for is the ability to sync all carpool events to their calendars. Premium users will be able to import and view all carpools in Google Calendar or iCal.
- Another premium feature is having more control over your notifications. You can now select the method in which you want to receive notifications and reminders when it’s your turn to drive or when your child is participating. Your choices include SMS, email, and push notifications based on what form of the application you are using.
The first two premium features will go live in December. But we have more in the making:
We are super excited that we’re partnering with TeamSnap. Users of this popular sports management team application will be able to sync their accounts, which will pull in all details from TeamSnap into GoKid Pro for an even smoother carpool creation process.
What’s new for 2018?
- Another new feature will be the ability to live track the carpools your kids are participating in. Users can follow the car and see where the driver is at any point during the ride. Adding on to that, pro users will also get arrival notifications when their child is dropped off at a destination and when the driver is close to their home on the return trip.
- Another pro feature is carpool notes. Users using GoKid Pro can add personal notes and messages to each carpool event.
- You will also be able to receive weekly summary emails of your carpool schedule.
Sounds good – so how much is it?
Yes, we will need to charge for these super handy features, but the good news: for about the price of a grande latte at Starbucks, just $4.99 a month, you will get all premium features, providing an even more convenient carpool solution for busy families. And you can save 20% by opting for the annual subscription of $49.99.
I’d like to try it out first..
Sounds good to us: all new users who create a GoKid account and sign up for a paid subscription before December 31st, 2017 will get the GoKid Pro upgrade free for three months. Do help us spread the word, so that both you and your friends can take advantage of this end-of-year promotion.
Finally: Do send us more ideas and features you’d like to see in the future.
Thanks so much for using GoKid – happy carpooling!
