Ratings and reviews

The 2024 version has a few issues, that unfortunately still haven't been resolved after reporting them. Mostly, the Progress Tracking on the main screen doesn't track properly. The map, and "seen" section are correct. That number isn't reflected accurately on the tracker and %. Deleting everything and adding them back manually only served to now have the tracker now say 0%. Less importantly, but still kinda annoying, you have to launch the "scan" twice.

Wife, grandkids, and I spent a couple days finding hearts. Scanned them all, checked in at them all, too. They all changed colors on the map. Opened the app the other day and most of them (a good 80%) are no longer marked as checked in and colored appropriately. Essentially, our work is lost. Seems like the app is quite buggy and not ready for prime time. Shame...now I don't know which ones we've seen without a bunch of work outside the app.

While the map on the app is great to have, I have found at least one heart that was not on the map. Now I'm wondering how many more hearts there are that are not on the map. Also, the app is not always checking in at the Heart whether done manually on the app or scanning the QR code. The heart will either stay black or change back to black when I reopen the app.
