Fixed issues with dynamic maps

User reviews

Doesn’t work

If you have the newest phone, don’t even bother. My kids loved to do their math passport last summer, but this time it’s completely unusable. Sad!

Completely unusable

Went to try this for the LVJUSD Math Passport event for the summer. It took the code and downloaded the event, then displays a user screen with a score of zero and a blank white screen for the map. If I kill it, restart and resume then it will display the map, but the only thing on it is our position. The event doesn’t start, there’s no challenge to complete, it’s completely non-functional. Looking at it as a developer, it has many of the hallmarks of an app designed for a much, much older version of iOS that hasn’t been kept up to date. If anyone is reading this, either get this thing working or stop tricking schools who don’t know any better into using it, please!
