  • Very bad

    Cannot use in the UK my login doesn't require an email address, furthermore the website states that there is a high volume of visitors so how am I suppose to catch up on my Edofe?

    Hi, the UK is not part of the Online Record Book hence you cannot use this app. You have to use the eDofe, which uses a different system.
  • Useless

    I can’t log on because I can’t create a account because it doesn’t have Briton or the uk on it please add this

  • Easy to use but one major problem

    My rating is on behalf of my classmates who are also participating in the Duke of Edinburgh. The problem for me is that the app doesn’t work at all, the error seems to be unique as I haven’t heard or read of anyone else with this problem.
    The problem is that I get network error every single time I log in. This is on both WiFi and Mobile data (and I have double checked my settings for which apps can use mobile data). I’m running the developer beta for iOS and was initially on iOS 12 when I first installed the app, after multiple reinstalls and updating to iOS 12.1 it still doesn’t work. My device is an 8 plus. If you could take a look, that would be perfect. Anyway, thank you very much!

  • Amazing

    Really helpful, I found that it was very reliable and helped me to remember when I completed activities and needed to add them in, and I liked that I could track what I did. Very helpful and would recommend to anyone working towards their duke of Ed.

    Thanks, we are pleased to hear that!
  • Useless

    Agree with all the other reviews. This app is terrible. Can’t log in for UK and should be able to use login details for the website.
    My son could make a better app than this!! Why is it not just linked to the website!! It’s 2018 catch up!!!

  • Really really bad

    This app is horrible. You cannot for example change your day in a week. And you cannot do something for 2 hours because it will just register it as 1!! Basically this app made me not want to do duke of Edinburgh again.

    Hi, these are the rules of the Foundation not and error of the app. This is to prevent finishing the Award in couple weeks but to work in it for some time.
  • Pretty Good

    Is useful and makes the process easy however, it doesn’t register the hours properly. it is hard to know how many hours i have left when it gets stuck on a certain amount

    Developer Response

    the hours are logged based on the principles of the Foundation - one hour per week is counted to the progress regardless of the amount you put in. Hope that helps.

    I really like using the online recordbook because it makes it easy to log my activities as I complete them. Great user experience with this clever app.

    Developer Response

    Great to hear, thanks, we did your best :-)
  • Really bad

    Does not do anything I want it to. Won't let me log in, keeps saying errors have occurred, won't even open usually. Could be really useful but does not work.

  • App Issue

    My profile doesn’t appear. It says network not working. I think there is a problem with the app, because i can access my account perfectly in my computer.
