Glitchy and painful to use on iOS

Doing a scavenger hunt with a friend using the same app for Android. I have dreadful scrolling experiences, with task lists skipping and jumping all the time. If I complete a task it doesn’t mark it as done, so every time I have to scroll through a lengthy list to find the required task and check it off. Awful.

Frustrated

When I scan the QR codes through the app for the Beaver Quest it says Incorrect Answer. I checked all the settings and redownloaded the app but nothing works. Also there isn’t even a request help button…

Unable to access build a hunt

The only option available on this app is to search a hunt. There is no option to build or create a hunt. No hunts were found when I searched either.

Terrible Scrolling

The UI is basically unusable when scrolling through tasks at slow speeds because the top bar keeps coming in and out

App is robust enough and hunts are fun

The Minnesota History Hunt used this app. I was impressed that it always recorded my task even if it sometimes had trouble posting to Facebook. There is an option to upload a photo so you can take a selfie in locations without cell service and then upload later.

I loved the option to share my tasks with my friends on social media. I liked being able to see others photos within the app and it felt like we were building some community.

I wish that the app would automatically add the hashtag key word to all posts (not just check-ins) so I wouldn’t need to type it each time. I also wish that the app would not distort the uploaded photos.

I enjoyed seeing the leaderboard! It was motivating and fun. I just wish that it had a search function and that the dot containing the number would grow to accommodate numbers greater than 99.
