### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-12-11, version 2.0.9*

First of all, this is a world scout organisation app and it is not country specific, so people complaining it doesn’t link to UK Scouts are incorrect in thinking it should. Secondly, OSM is not run by any official Scouting organisation, so there this app is not going to connect to it. 
Now down to this app. When I first downloaded this app it worked and I made good use of it. Now, the only thing that I’ve found that does work is the link to the WOSM shop. Absolutely nothing else works. I can’t log in, every page that need to read in data either can’t connect to the server or reports an error reading the JSON file. 
Don’t waste your time downloading this app. It hasn’t been updated in three years at the time I wrote this and it appears to have been abandoned.

### 1/5 — Nothing Works Anymore

*2024-07-03, version 2.0.9*

Always flashing errors and doing some weird stuff. Wouldn’t be surprised if they just shut the servers down.

### 1/5 — Please fix or retire

*2024-05-26, version 2.0.9*

Absolute shambles, unable to log in. Last update three years ago. Either update and make it functional again or retire completely.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the first page

*2024-05-14, version 2.0.9*

Can’t get past the first page

### 1/5 — Cannot login

*2024-04-18, version 2.0.9*

Flakey app. Wife’s iPhone works. Mine doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

### 1/5 — Login Issues - Please fix!

*2023-06-30, version 2.0.9*

When I log try to login if this this error “AGAithzErrorDomain error 1.” Have also seen the json error.
Is anyone looking at these reviews? It seems this issue has been going on for years, please can you fix this as it would make a lot of lives easier.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-06-21, version 2.0.9*

Nothing works in this app.

### 1/5 — Very similar issues to 4 years ago

*2023-04-23, version 2.0.9*

Can’t log on,
The app appears not be be connecting to the server and can’t download the “Jason file”
Can’t select the correct country because of the above although it says it has been fix in updates it appears not to have been…..

### 1/5 — Broken and abandoned

*2023-04-16, version 2.0.9*

Errors on every page. No content. Nothing works. This app seems to have been abandoned.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2023-02-07, version 2.0.9*

For an organisation such as The Scout Association, I expected an app that at least actually works. Error msgs all over the place, it’s just not fit for purpose.
