Unadulterated garbage - DO NOT INVEST ANY TIME
Youth protection training is a critical component of modern Scouting, you cannot go on a trip with your own kid unless you’ve taken the course. If you take the course on this horrific app, you will lose all progress if anything causes you to exit the app. If you have to take a phone call, respond to a text, respond to email, if you leave the app, all of the time you invested in youth protection training will be gone. I want my time back, but I know I won’t get it, I’ll just get a bunch of excuses from developers too lazy to make their product work. I am furious. Do NOT download this piece of garbage.Show lessMammoth1017
Very limited use at Troop level
This doesn't really provide much info or functionality that's useful to this Scoutmaster. Maybe it's more useful to others?
But it has problems. A boy had left our troop so in Scout book, I put an end date on his patrol membership. Now I can't see him at all in Scout book, but in this app, it lists him and another former adult leader as Committee Members! That's just wrong.
There's also a broken link in the Resources tab. In the Units section, the link to Uniform and Awards actually opens the Cub Scout Adult Leader Training page. There doesn't seem to be a way to get to the right info.
I'm sticking to the website, which seems more stable, if still disorganized.Show lessStews58
Still a work in progress
The application is potentially a very useful tool. As far as applications go, it has a long way to go but is a good start. I encourage the folks at BSA to continue improvement in terms of full functionality for retrieving information and records. Users are encouraged to download and use the application and send BSA clear recommendations for improvement. I have done this separately but you can do it in this comment section if you wish.Show lessH20RockStar
Improving the old would have been better idea
Update: lost a star, I can’t see any my units rosters. I click on them and get the district. It offers the sub-districts as the district is two counties but I click on that and get a white screen. Click on change, hoping it will bring up the pack or the troop but no such luck! Beyond irritating as I don’t know how I’m supposed to utilize it as it is
Thank you though for the fingerprint sign-in! I can’t do anything with the app but I can sign in easily!! ⭐️
I used the old app all the time as both a Unit Commissioner and District Training Chair. I found it useful to see each units rosters and especially YPT. Frequently throughout the year I’d email units a congratulations for everyone being YPT compliant or reminders that YPT was expired or would soon be expired. I saw a jump in compliance when I started doing that coupled with offering group YPT training to units. Please bring back the YPT gage and open up the unit views for Unit Commissioners and Training Chairs at least! Its fairly useless to me otherwise.
Also add on fingerprint sign-on!!Show lessmichele cairo
Not much has changed
This app continues to dissapoint me. It seems to be missing basic functionality that I would imagine would be easy to do. Right now I want to take my youth protection training but every time I go to the traning portal it gives me errors about api calls being invalid. This is not a one time event this is constantly the problems it’s giving me. I don’t understand why every app national releases has these problems. If they stopped changing apps and instead would work on fixing the ones they have already put out people would not be having these problems.Show lessJkensuke
Love 💖this app 💞and quick support 💯🎉👍🏾
Thank you for the quick response with the glitch on one of my courses. Support looked into the issue. Sent out an alert about maintenance time the day it was shut down later I received an email notifying me of the resolution. Sadly I couldn’t login. Could have been my phone not sure. This time I called wasn’t waiting very long and within minutes I was logged back in. Thank you so much for all the knowledge I am receiving from this app for me to better myself, for my son, our den and pack. Great app. And the sync process is just the easiest thing ever. Not sure how it use to be but Thanks again for everything. Especially for the experience I can creat with my son, den, pack. God Bless.Show lessLeciano
Training modules not integrated well
I am Magine the app is a work in progress, but what initially attracted me to it is the access to training modules so that I would not have to log into the website. However, the training modules are not well integrated, nor do they fit well into a device screen. Basically, you were routed to a full webpage and you are left to resize the screen to fit your device.Show lesssocal_steele
So far so good
I see so many complaints and can’t help but wonder why? The occasional bug should be expected and they are getting corrected so why complain? Report it and give it some time. Ignorant comments just make you look foolish. Jeesh!
The app has worked well for me and is coming along nicely. Keep adding features and it will be fantastic. In the future some roster section add ons would be cool. When you click on the leader or scout name a completed training and awards section/drop down would be awesome. Thanks.Show lessCn79
Why bother?
I downloaded this app in order to do the new YP and to stay on top of training. When I finally figured out how add YP to my list of things I wanted to do I had to stop the video and go to work. Now I can’t get ANY training to come up! I just get the turning “wait” wheel. I read a recent review that they did all their training on their cell phone, pausing as needed. (That review actually helped me decide to download this app.) However, That isn’t the case for me! I’m so disappointed!Show lessCaliParks
Much better than before
The app is much more user friendly and I was able to navigate through different sections without a problem. Nice to be able to go back and not lose information that has been typed.Baumer01
