### 5/5 — Needs updating.

*2025-04-20*

Can we get an update? We can’t share or airdrop games to one another.

**Developer response:** Thank you for writing about this. An update is on the way very soon that allows for transferring Hunt data between devices more easily.

### 3/5 — It’s decent.

*2023-02-24*

It is a decent game, would be great if we were able to add photos to the question so when they get to the location, the photo would pop up with the question and answers.

### 5/5 — Awesome game try it out

*2020-10-26*

Hey this might help you with my review it’s verey aproite for kids so try it out it inspires me👍😺

### 3/5 — Indoor hunt

*2020-08-08*

This app is weird when you try to do an indoor hunt because all it says is scan your photo. I walk every where in the house and it still says that it does not show one of the purple things that give you a question.

### 1/5 — Can’t add images into your own creation.

*2019-11-20*

This app is really cool in theory. When you go to create tour own trip you can not add your own ar images and there is not a bank to choose from.

### 1/5 — not a review ..yet

*2018-10-03*

I want to use some down time to create some Hunts for my grandkids. Seems I cannot follow how this is done..looking for youtube step by step examples🌎

### 3/5 — Cannot create indoor quiz

*2018-05-17*

Is there any way to create our own indoor quiz?

### 3/5 — Please drop requirement for cellular when using outdoors

*2018-05-16*

I have a WiFi only iPad that I would like to use this app when outdoors. Please allow for no internet connectivity when hunting outdoors. Fix that, get 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Since we've designed Waypoint EDU as a geocaching-style scavenger hunt, the app requires a device with GPS for positioning outdoors – unfortunately it's a technical limitation.

However, you could get around this limitation! Using one of the Official Hunts, print out the Waypoint Cards, and place them around outside. While this will currently only work with the official hunts like Famous Inventions and Wonders of the World, we hope to be able to make it possible for the Hunts you create as well.

### 4/5 — Love this so far but..

*2018-05-06*

I think this app is great and the applications are so many but the only thing that would make it perfect is being able to edit where waypoints are placed?? Instead of only being able to randomize the points..I’m not sure if I’m just unsure of how to read and understand the app layout (which is also a bit confusing and ambiguous at times..) but I just can’t figure out that one detail.. GAAAH!

**Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion; this is possible. From the Creator map, if you tap to select the waypoint marker, then tap and hold on the same marker, after a short delay the marker will lift up and you can drag it to a new position.

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2018-04-23*

As an educator, I would love to use this. However, I would like to see track the students progress. Some kind of a sign in and a way to show the progress of the students from question to question.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. To do this we had to release a separate version (Waypoint EDU VPP) that integrates with Apple's Schoolwork app.
