Very Disappointing

All participants were unable to interact with any of the floating location icons and were forced to click “skip” every time. Pretty app, but core features no longer work.

This is amazing!!!

I’m developing a Christmas project locally and this is exactly what I needed. I’ve been testing and showing demos but I have so many questions and I have no idea how to contact you guys. I’ve been looking on Facebook, twitter and your site and can’t find a way to get to you. Are you in Mapbox Discord?

Thanks for the kind words, DubGeeee. Wonderful to hear, you're enjoying the app so much! If you want to get in touch, please send us a mail to hello@scavengar.world. We're looking forward to hearing from you.

Weird things going on

Had hard time turning’s the app off. It constantly reopened itself! I had to turn off and on the phone. iPhone 15 pro

Hello, we are sorry to hear this happens to you, but can assure you there is nothing we are doing on our end to to make the app restart itself – and we couldn’t. iOS obviously wouldn’t allow it for good reason. So it seems like you are encountering some kind of system bug or issue related to your device state (potentially storage related). Since we are a very small team, reviews like this hurt a lot and we would love to get this resolved. Would you mind shooting us an email to »hello@scavengar.world«? Then we will be in touch as soon as possible. Thanks and best – Arthur from Scavengar

Update: AR Tracking Issue Solved

I am changing my rating from May 27 after the development team helped me understand my issue (related to Apple’s location tracking data) and helped get my AR experience working.

There is great potential for this App! The AR experiences are fun and can be used for personal or commercial purposes. Definitely worth exploring and seeing what you can build and where your imagination takes you!

Scavengar - Awesome!

Absolutely recommend this app for creating scavenger hunt type AR games. We’re still building the pilot, but can’t wait to test our review of Slavic folk creatures with my students. Our questions were answered quickly. Looking forward to the updated version coming soon. Great app.

Clunky unusable rubbish

Total joke. Lots of wasted time. Creator is bad. User experience is frustrating. Really disappointed!

Hi Dave, we are sorry you feel this way. Would you mind sending us a feedback e-mail to dev@scavengar.world and tell us what exactly went wrong? We are a very small team and try to do our best. In case you want a refund for anything please visit this site: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT204084

Can’t share

Advertised as app-less sharing but when I shared my creation it prompt my team with an app to download to play.

Response from developer

Hello hlmly, the app-less sharing is a premium feature that we currently do not have enabled by default for every experience. This link for example will work: https://scvngr.app/tnn Please also note that you have to open this link from an iOS device with iOS 14 installed. It won't work on Android or Desktop. If the Scavengar app is already installed, it will be opened from within the app. If you would like to give this a testrun with one of your own experiences, please send an email with a link or name of your experience to arthur@scavengar.de and I can make that happen. I'll make sure that we will adjust the associated wording. Appreciate your support. Best Arthur

Very cool idea but too many issues that have no fix

Changing my rating bc I reached out to developer via the website who said they are working to resolve the freeze issue and better clarify the “premium” feature language.

I bought credits to unlock “premium” features but the app has no way actually applying those credits to the game. It just asks you to buy more without having the option to spend what you have paid for! Also, at the end of every hunt the screen freezes even on WiFi so there is no payoff at the end of the experience which pretty much ruins all the good things and makes it a bad experience overall. Developers should have these things solved before charging money to people!!

Great concept but serious issues!

I was definitely a fan of the apps format when I downloaded it. I made a geographical scavenger hunt for my younger siblings. Unfortunately none of us have been able to try it, the App seems to get stuck when trying to load the experience (when it says “this will take a few seconds”), and only a random 1/20 attempts will actually load, at which point the app freezes. From what I read the second issue is an iOS 14 problem but the one we can’t handle is the first one and why it would load.

Hi Walrusesofcanada, thanks a lot for your feedback! Would you mind sending us an email to dev@scavengar.world with the name of your hunt so we can look into it? We thought this issue had been resolved but apparently there is still something going wrong. Have you also tried a playspace based hunt and had better luck with that? Sorry for the inconvenience – we will do our best to get it fixed quickly!

Kept freezing

Whenever I tried to use the app, it froze my screen and it wasn't moving and I couldn't touch it. I use a 7th generation iOS iPad, and it didn't work at all

Response from developer

Hi smanskiqueen, I am very sorry that you are having these issues. It is a known problem on older devices that is caused by a change – introduced with iOS 14 – within the internal rendering engine that we are using provided by Apple. On iOS 13 this does not happen. We are hard at work to find an alternative or workaround. In the meantime in case you have bought a subscription please reach out to us so we can help you to get a refund: hello@scavengar.world We hope that you give Scavengar another try once this is resolved. Apologies and best regards Arthur

Issues but so fun

I downloaded this app and was very pleased at first, but then it started freezing during the tutorial. I tried some other hunts, but those all froze eventually too. If the app didn’t freeze so much, I would love it.

Response from developer

Hello, we have investigated more and unfortunately the freezes happing due to a bug in the 3D Rendering Framework we are using. This should only happen on devices running iOS 14. We are currently in contact with Apple to get this resolved as soon as possible. Sorry again for the inconvenience! Best Arthur and the Scavengar Team

Having Issues but Excellent App Support

Neat app but needs some work. The developers were quick at responding and providing information to improve the experience.

I was super pumped about creating a scavenger through our city.

I was super pumped about this cool idea to help get friends out of the house and get some exercise by walking through parks, going to local historical markers, walking to the top of a small hills but I quickly found that the app limits the distance you can set check points and items. I was ok with the limited colors and item options but the frustrating part is being limited to 75m. As you also try to stay within the confines of 75m it won’t let you expand beyond a certain point, so even if I wanted to add check points every 75m around a park I can’t because it stops me from doing this by restricting my loop.

04-01-20, I have updated my review for this app to 4 stars (not 5 stars yet). I do really like the idea of this app, however, it has a hard time staying in the place where I dropped the markers. When we went to test it, I got stuck climbing a hill to try to get my coin or checkpoint. There was even a point where I had to quit and didn’t even get to finish my adventure because I could not get to my checkpoint to move on to the next event, which does not allow me to skip, so I had to quite the scavenger hunt, kind of bummed.

With all of that said, I am super impressed with the interaction with the developer. If he continues with this development, I think he has something very big and exciting here.

I like the game

The option to choose the colors is worse than I thought. When i needed to find a green object, I pointed my camera at the green object and it wouldn’t work, I went closer but it still wouldn’t work. This is sadly happening for all colors, I also think that the swipe to move the item/object should be a little easier to swipe.Besides that I think the game is awesome. I recommend it and I hope the creators will fix this problem. 😃😃

Thanks a lot for the feedback and for sharing your thoughts! Just to make sure – did you press the camera icon when you have the color on target? You have to take a snapshot by pressing that symbol, otherwise, the app won't realize you "selected" the color already. This task will be updated soon with more precise results and a wider range of available colors. Please check back in 2-3 weeks. Concerning the swipe move – noted. We have to strike the right balance between convenience and usability, as it's only meant to be used when an item is out of reach. Thanks so much for your feedback, @Mztuler!

Perfect to create and share AR

Wonderful App, great UI/UX!

Great App, few more updates will make it a long-term keeper!!!

Very Fun App, great for kids, if there were two additional updates, i think I would use this almost weekly for kids & teens alike!
1.) I’d love if I could just set out a bunch of items to search for without having to go from one to the next to the next. Maybe make this a ‘timed’ event without an end point, just ‘5 minutes to find as much as you can’, that you can still utilize the activities to unlock larger values gems.

2.) the second and more challenging would be to be able to ‘hide’ gems not just at a location, but inside a slide or on top of the playground, or under the deck

Hi evancraig22, thanks for your nice feedback – really appreciate it! Regarding your first suggestion I can say that I‘ve been planning to integrate another kind of »task« where you have to find and collect as many gems as possible in a specified timeframe. I think this would come rather close to your idea. For the second: it would be a little harder at the current point, as the app isn’t utilizing AR place detection right now and the virtual objects are placed with the help of geo coordinates. It’s definitely a nice idea though and I will consider it for a future update. If you have any additional feedback please feel free to reach out to: hello@scavengar.world Best Arthur
