Bug fixes and performance improvements

User reviews

Didn’t work for me.

Update: The developer confirmed that this is for classroom use only and does not work for individuals and has stated they will update the app’s description. It would be most appropriate if I could remove my review since the app is not intended for users like me, but I don’t see a way to do that. A five star review would also be misleading, so I’ll upgrade my review from one to three stars.

First thing it did was ask for a student code. Apparently you need to be part of a class to use this. Might be nice if they made that clear before wasting people’s time downloading.

Response from developer

Hi bdboston! Currently the app is designed for students in a classroom environment who are identified via unique student codes. If you are interested in using Blockchain Primer in your classroom, please reach out at varunrau@gmail.com and we’d be more than happy to get you setup! You’re absolutely right that the description could be more clear around this. We will update the description immediately. Thank you!
