  • Very helpful

    I believe this is a very helpful app. Especially to enter commissioners contacts
  • Wrong direction

    This app and the underlying system are heading in the wrong direction. Stop working on features and ways to lock out admins and start fixing the major bugs!
  • No stars

    Doesn’t work on an iPad. Won’t resume a session. Wasted 30 minutes doing hazardous weather, and it started over. It says 40% completed but after asking to resume it goes to the beginning. The drag and drop lessons don’t work. At first I was glad to see it had been updated because the old version was painful to listen to the robo voice. But wow, this is worse yet. IF YOU WANT VOLUNTEERS TO DO THE TRAINING, MAKE IT A GOOD EXPERIENCE.

  • Very messy app

    Very poorly executed app. Odd interface. Should be merged with the red Scouting app.

    “Add Announcement” and “Scouting Calendar” are big buttons on the main screen. These haven’t been in use for years and have nothing to do with Scoutbook’s calendar or anything else.
  • Endless notifications for no reason

    This app will randomly start sending me notifications that there are new leads or applications even though I worked them days ago. The notifications will keep coming until there’s over 100 in an hour. I’ve already deleted and reinstalled the app and this keeps happening.
    I’d love the notifications if they were legit, but they never have been.

  • Interactive needs help

    I was doing the Scout Master training. Some of the quizzes have you put thing in order. I could not get that to work. Every time I tried to move things around, the screen scrolled. I don’t know if I just missed something or if there is a problem.
  • I want to believe...

    The app has some promise—how great would it be if we could actually do things with a mobile app, see results in real time (okay, near real time), and not have to click through multiple layers of intermediate layers. So, when I saw the “new version, please update,” message, I was hopeful. That was before I tried repeatedly to update the app only to have it loop me between the app button on my screen and the update button in the App Store. Over and over, different days, different devices, no joy. You’ve got to do better, especially for our Scouts.

  • Good concept, poor implementation

    The idea of this app is great, however, many, many problems exist.

    1) offers links to training that do not work well on a mobile device

    2) if a Scouter has more than one active position, the app completely breaks. Now that I am a Nova Counselor and Supernova Mentor, I can no longer access my Cubmaster functions.

    3) will only allow you to export one wallet ID at a time. If I try to export Cubmaster, then Nova or Supernova ID card to Wallet, only the most recent ID card is retained.

    4) layout looks like it was done by a Highschool student with no design experience. If it actually was made by a Highschool student (always a possibility with the BSA), they should have been provided with guidance on proper human interface design.

    5) Functionality is buried to deep to be of much use.

  • Rating

    I do not use this APP on my phone but instead on my iPad as when I do reading an go through the tutorials I like to be relaxed an not in front of a computer (workstation).
    The only thing I do not care for is the APP launches links to external browsers instead of keeping the session within the APP. I guess using the web browsers to launch content is for adaptability across multiple platforms.

  • My experience

    I liked being able to take courses via my mobile device. Those of us who have out dated computers and use them strictly for word processing are at a loss when we have to do something like this on our computer at home. It is tough when we cannot access it through our phones which we have on us all of the time. Otherwise I have no problems.
