Ratings and reviews

It may be convenient if you are trying to easily raise money, but honestly the website works well enough for that. My issue with the app is that they get the kids all excited about making their stickers and heart heroes come to life with the augmented reality part of the app. Then it turns out that not all phones are compatible with that feature. I downloaded the app last year because she was desperate to use that feature. It worked last year. Now this year it says my device (same phone) is not compatible. Not all of us get new phones every year or 2. It really shouldn't be so complicated that a 2 year old phone can't work with the feature.

The "scan heart image check" does not work in app nor do any of the games. I saw someone else posted about this as well. My child was excited to see the characters come to life on the app but was disappointed when we found out that it was not working. Everything else worked perfectly fine. :)

For the most part, I think it's a good app. I think it needs to be easier to update that you have participated that day. Currently, the only way I have been able to reach that is by entering the app, viewing the web page, logging into HQ, editing the profile and then from there going to the events page. There has got to be a easier and less time consuming route to do that. Additionally, selecting that you have participated should be based on the calendar day (date) instead of on a 24 hour cycle.
