### 3/5 — Family couldn't join the hunt :(

*2022-04-17, version 1.0*

Love the concept.  I printed, cut out, and placed all the the AR clues. The major problem is that once I completed all of my clues, saved my hunt and gave the 6-digit code to my family members, they all got an error stating the hunt didn't exist!  I had to log into my account on each of their devices in order for them to join the hunt.  It's like only the creator could join the hunt.  If it wasn't for that, this would be a great app.

### 2/5 — Could be cool but i don't understand the directions

*2021-12-16, version 1.0*

I don't really get hope to set this up. I wrote a clue and it says "test it out." But, i know what I'm testing, it just shows a camera view.
