    Ok, so if you download the app from your market place it will only allow you to do 5 obs then you need to delete or download and delete them. This is a free app and there is no charge at all forever and forever. However, if you ring them and ask for the 30 day free trial you can do unlimited obs, photo's etc and use the web pages too, after 30 days it will cost you £29.

    I found it easy to use but needed more than 5 obs a week so am now on the free trial. I have also explored Orbit, but to be honest it isn't for me simply because I love my little ones files, we enjoy looking at them together and they are individual. I don't want all my paperwork to look the same. Parents share the files and info quite happily, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" I use 2simple as it is quick and easy, but I do then transfer the obs onto my own paperwork

    childminders can not get the 30 day trial, but you are allowed 5 obs to try before you buy, I too print them out and put in child's folder

    I use 2simple it is fantastic. Saves huge amout of time.
    I also email the child parent a monthly report and they have a pin to open the link.
    I print off and then out in their file.

    Highly Recommend it.

    Hi all,

    I have been looking at Orbit and wondered are we able to print the observations and assessment off to put in the child files.

    Many thanks
