How is this available?

How did this even make it into the App Store with this many bugs and general issues in the application? Unfortunately as member you must use this app. It’s painful to say the least.

Needs a complete overhaul

I don’t even know where to begin with this app. The website works great, but the app doesn’t even let you log in. I have my credentials saved on my pc but when entered here, all I ever get is “undefined is not a function”. I like scoutbook for our Cub pack, but this app needs a total redo.

Please Fix this App! App is completely Non-Functional

This is the glitchiest app I have ever used. I have to completely delete the app and reinstall every single time I want to log in. The functions are intermittently unavailable. All other parents in our pack have the same issues.

From an actual Boy Scout

This app is completely unfunctional. It desperately needs to be redone. Please I’m begging atp. Please.

Super buggy app

Terrible app, it frequently logs you out and you can’t get back in. You can only fix this by deleting the app and downloading it again. Please fix it!
