Ratings and reviews

The app had long loading times, so it felt unnatural to pull out quickly, luckily, i never needed to do that because the app was not that useful. For an example, the app's main maps did not show your location. Overall the Ui was not good, was slightly useful due to the fact you could see meals. The schedule for events was useless, as the main schedule was framed as the only set of activities, and the other activities like BMX, were hidden in a different menu. No ads which is very good.

App worked well beyond what I had expected, the maps worked very well when I needed to get from one place to another. When you move around on maps it shows a little blue arrow around the blue location dot to show what direction I was heading. The jamboree was a lot of fun and I hope to come back soon.

Poorly designed and made app. It's clunky, not easy to use, and its maps are absolutely stupid. They're medium-low resolution, difficult to understand, and, worst of all, don't actually show your location. And since the roads in camp are poorly labeled, they're very much useless. All of this might be okay, except that they had a huge push to download the app! If you're going to tell everyone to get the app, at least make it good!
