App refers you to their website for information. It’s then difficult to find the correct link for instructions and in the end the page is “empty “ Deleted the app never to try again ### 1/5 — Befuddled *2021-05-26, version 2.44* Totally befuddling app ### 1/5 — Jurassic Journey *2020-07-19* This app has so many glitches. It located us at dinosaur sites we hadn’t been to yet and marked our answers incorrect. Incorrect answers could be changed, but they didn’t affect our score. The updated score should have happened considering this was a treasure hunt for children. We used it for Jurassic Journey. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2020-07-15* This ended up essentially ruining the enjoyment of the game. Locations were not correct. When standing in front of one exhibit it would flip to another and count the first exhibit as entered incorrectly when the question was never entered. ### 1/5 — Not enough *2020-06-30* It barely has any treasures to find and they are really far from me **Developer response:** Hi Pretygrl77, Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience. You are welcome to create a game using our platform and can then place as many treasures nearby as you would like! Hopefully then the app will be more fun for you! :) Kind regards, Locatify Team ### 2/5 — Accuracy not good… *2023-04-11, version 3.0* I was trying to do the puffin parade with kids but the app makes it extremely frustrating. Lots of times it would not recognize that I’m there and wouldn’t let me register it - even though I’m literally standing on the exact point on the map - and looking at the puffin. Many times I had to walk around for a long time until it would actually get it - which is impossible to expect people with little children to do. Other times it would recognize I’m there before I found the puffin and I would loose sight of the map. In my opinion the app should be corrected in a way - when you are near the object, click on it, and only then it should allow to register it if you are in approximately 200m range. I’m literally giving up as it’s impossible. I went to some places just for this and couldn’t register anything… ### 2/5 — Such a shame a charity fund-raising app isn’t user friendly *2021-05-20, version 2.44* Loved the idea of this way of entering their Competition. Sounded simple enough, when you get within 15 meters of the ‘target’ it should open the image your looking for. Such a shame it doesn’t every time. Then others open up when you’re in your car just driving past. If you don’t go back and complete the challenge you’ve missed it. Doesn’t offer it to you again. Really very disappointing and I’m sure even more so for the charity organisers. 😢 ### 3/5 — How do you create your own scavenger hunt *2022-11-29* What do you click on to create your own scavenger hunt. I only see about app that has no info and join another map. Clicking on the map icons does not create your own either. ### 3/5 — Location accuracy problem *2020-07-08* Walked around to play the game but some of the items that we found would not pick up on the game. Found all the items but could not complete game ### 4/5 — Dinosaurs! *2020-07-15* Fun way to enjoy a walk. The coordinates were sometimes not stable and new challenges popping up would prevent the completion of a current challenge, but very enjoyable if you’re not out only to score big. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Scavenger hunt *2023-08-26* Fun! ### 5/5 — Great fun *2023-04-15, version 3.0* Just ran a treasure hunt for my dragon boat team. It was easy to set it all up. Everybody worked how to use the app and had a great time. ### 5/5 — Where’s Nat Scavenger hunt *2022-07-26* We loved doing the scavenger hunt in downtown DeRidder. It was hot! Perhaps these things would be easier in the Fall. I was thinking that the merchants would get more involved. I thought we were going to hunt for the things in the stores. Which would have brought them a lot of business and given us a break from the heat. We did find the cupcake store open and stopped for a treat. We are glad to have a community event to participate in! ### 5/5 — Jurassic fun *2021-11-29* It was an amazing experience everyone should go at least once!!! ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-05-15, version 2.44* It’s a good app but doesn’t always show the goats as just been with the kids we found 1 but wouldn’t pick it up to take a selfie. ### 5/5 — Wow lots of adventurous fun *2020-06-16* Really enjoyed learning about Cameron through this location based map app ### 4/5 — Locations did not match *2020-07-07* This was fun for the family, but two of the locations did not pop up when we were there. **Developer response:** Hi Flamingohfish, Great username by the way! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the app and must apologise that some locations did not popup. If you are the game creator, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@locatify.com so we can evaluate the issue. It is likely the triggering radius is too small or there is GPS interference but we are happy to evaluate the issue.
