Error. Password reset doesn’t work. And no option for alternative login. Not fit for purpose. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-10-22, version 2.0.9* Cant get past the first page where you set your location! Do not download. ### 1/5 — Poor *2022-09-30, version 2.0.9* Login doesn’t work and can’t reset ### 1/5 — Abandoned? *2022-09-13* It looks like the app has been abandoned. The login function doesn’t work, and the skip login option, gives you access to nothing. It is a shame, since the app has a great potential. ### 1/5 — Poor and doesn’t really work *2022-05-23, version 2.0.9* This is a waste. Scouts are a charity and money was spent on this. Really disappointing. ### 1/5 — A bit rubbish *2020-01-17, version 2.0.8* This app needs an online scout manager section so u can sign in and see your child’s acct or simply the OSM needs its own app so we can have it on the phone instead of lookin it up on the net and signing in every time - I’m not very tech savvy but hope u get my drift lol ### 1/5 — Poor *2019-07-04, version 2.0.8* Unable to log on using the app. Not really worth using. Have to go via the website to log into OSM. Please get this fixed. ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2019-02-11, version 2.0.7* Can’t log in & can’t reset my password as when I enter my email address, I just get an error message which helpfully says “error”. Scout leaders are pushing this as the source of all information but if it doesn’t work for parents it’s pointless. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2019-02-10, version 2.0.7* Can’t even log in !!! ### 1/5 — Can’t use *2019-02-04, version 2.0.7* Can’t sign in or sign up, just says “cancelled” or “error” ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-09-25, version 2.0.6* I cannot even get past the intro screens, back to the drawing board. ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-03-03, version 2.0.4* Can’t get past the intro pages. Won’t let me ‘skip’ or ‘finish’. Stuck on final page. ### 1/5 — Crashes ipad *2017-02-11, version 1.2* Downloaded the app and it either crashes / closes immediately after being opened or immediately after scrolling down the news feed. ### 2/5 — Don't grumble *2012-05-02, version 1.0* At least you have an app. Girlguiding could do with one. ### 4/5 — Very nice! *2012-02-25, version 1.0* Please make it compatible for the iPad! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-08-12, version 2.0.8* Just amazing well done on the app Gill ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2014-01-23, version 1.2* This is one of the very best apps of all time! Everything is well thought out well I can't put my phone down when I use it! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2012-07-05* Siempre listo ### 5/5 — I <3 this app *2012-05-23, version 1.0* Love scouts x ### 5/5 — World scouting *2012-05-14, version 1.0* There are allot of good pictures from around the world. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2011-11-08, version 1.0* This is really good but there isn't that many scout groups shown like the 29th and 22nd ### 5/5 — Bring an international view to your Scouting *2011-10-18, version 1.0* Most people in Scouting are concerned with their local group or district. This app is pretty simple and is a nice reminder that the movement is worldwide. There is nothing new that is not available on the WOSM website at scouts.org but that is rarely visited by most of us on a regular basis. The materials are international but can be adapted to local use. This might be the basis of national apps to keep local news and local support materials in our pockets. ### 5/5 — Scout App *2011-07-30, version 1.0* Good to see a good quality app especially for people in Aus GOOD JOB ALEX ### 5/5 — Cambodia Scouts *2011-07-27* I love this app! Everyone should download it! It's good for scouts :) ### 5/5 — Awsome *2011-07-25* I love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
