Ratings and reviews

Nice interface for youth to enter their advancements. I wish they could also enter comments before submitting (feature requested). As a leader, all that I see is that they submitted, but I don't always remember when they accomplished the requirement. I like that youth can see more awards that are available, many of which are unknown to them.

An improvement over just doing desktop version on mobile, in most cases, but can be really awkward. It doesn't allow den leaders any control for events or attendance. There is no rhyme or reason to the things it displays on the "front page" - sometimes unfinished stuff, some finished, some never started. You . It would make more sense if you could sort or filter to show each of those categories. They fixed some stuff not loading at all, but it is still glitchy/can be inaccurate.

I have been using the app for a few months and it's very inconsistent. Somedays it works and somedays it doesn't. Today, I can't log in. At all. It keeps telling me that my credentials are incorrect. I was in it yesterday. Update on Aug 10. Login is better, but there has been an ongoing issue of awards and adventures not properly displaying. If one requirement is complete, the others don't display and it shows as 100% complete. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. The site is better.
