You asked for it, and now it’s here – GoKid is available on the web to all smartphone users and for desktops.

To check it out simply head over to https://my.gokid.mobi on your smartphone or computer. Now you can invite all smartphone users, regardless of their device.

A few notes on how the new GoKid works

We’ve simplified the carpool setup into Who, What, Where, and When. Now you can move quickly down the list and get your carpool ready to go.

  • WHO:
    • Step 1: Select which of your children will be in the carpool.
    • Step 2: Input the email addresses of parents you want to invite to your carpool.
  • WHAT – Name your carpool
  • WHERE – Choose where the carpool is coming from and where it’s headed. Use the “Kids Homes” option to allow all joining families to set their own child’s home location; for example, when bringing all the kids home from a party.
  • WHEN – Choose the date and time the carpool starts, and select if it repeats.
  • Return trip – If kids need rides both to and from an event, choose the “return” option to set up a carpool going both ways.

When you press “Done” your selected friends will receive a carpool invitation.

Volunteering is easy now. A tap of the screen or a click of a mouse and you’re set to drive on the days you choose. Assigning an adult from your family to drive is also easy.

When it’s your turn to drive, head to the map screen to see where to pick up or drop off each kid. If you’re on our iPhone app, press “go” to start the navigation.
