Some feedback

Please provide front and back photos of each heart with zoom in and out abilities.

Has been better in the past

This is the third year I have done the Parade of Hearts, and it is by far the worst. I love the hearts, but the app is horrible.
The app crashes constantly, where the only feature that will work is the QR code scanner. When it crashes, the map, the home page, the routes page, and the list of hearts isn’t visible.
As a side comment unrelated to functionality, a good majority of heart descriptions have glaringly obvious spelling errors that would be easy to resolve.

Year 3 more app issues

Response from developer

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we apologize for your experience! We are always looking for ways to improve the app. Could you please update the app to the newest build in the store? The older version has some issues that we have fixed. If you still face any issues, please contact us at https://propaganda3.com/general-inquiry/

Kinda useless…

QR code scanner doesn’t focus to scan the hearts, I have to use the camera app first before it reroutes to the app. Also the integrated map doesn’t show your current location to see where the nearest heart is at. Could use some updates to improve this experience. Would be cool if you could have an imbedded photo library to take photos at each heart location and the ability to share to social media or something.

2024 glitches

I loved this app until this year. Many glitches. When scanning QR code it brings up white screen and won’t count check in. You can manually check in but then that doesn’t add it to your total. The new counting feature is a good idea…if it worked. Only 2 of my first 5 show counted. One of the biggest issues that should be fixed is that the hearts don’t change color on the map once you’ve seen them! I believe they were either blue or purple last year and this year they’re black and don’t change. This makes it harder to navigate with the map and is a bit frustrating. If these areas could be changed it would be a great app!!

Update: new version updates don’t work. I deleted and reinstalled the app and only 3 of 4 hearts change colors on the map indicating I’ve visited and the Home Screen now edicts 0% seen instead of 4% even with the screen refresh.
