Works great, just wish it had browse capability by typing in key words.

Y70%

I love the idea!

H70%
by H####:

I have tried to use it on three different samsung galaxy phones. Stops working on all of them as soon as I hit the scan button.

R70%
by R####:

After I downloaded this it worked great for a few days and now all I get is the error message saying the scan was canceled. This could be very helpful as I am leaving for NOAC in a few days.

Wish it had its own qr scanner

R70%

Only works on newer patches

Z70%
by Z####:

Not intuitive

S70%

Really

O70%
by O####:

The camera and scanner work fine, except that when the QR code shows up as a patch scan website, it is still listed as an unauthorized patch. Which makes me think that this is, at best, a mediocre QR code scanner.

Y70%
by Y####:

I installed this to check out some of the patches my brother traded at the Jamboree. Some of his patched have lost the QR sticker from them and there's not any way to check information on those patches now. It would be great if there was a way to browse the database or even search by Council. It's a good start on the app, but does leave room for improvement. Another improvement would be to have the QR reader/scanner built into this app instead of opening a separate app. (Barcode Scanner is the app that I currently use with no problems)

Z70%
by Z####:

I just downloaded this app to test drive it when I received my Jamboree patches today. I entered my birthdate (still don't know why) and opened the app. Every time I hit the camera button to scan a patch, the app crashes. Please fix this before Jamboree, otherwise this will be useless! UPDATE: Good to know that even after an update, the app continues to crash upon any attempt to open the camera/scanner. I leave to staff in less than a week. Please fix this soon!

by U####:

You have to have a QR reader installed in order to use this. When I hit the camera button, it just links to my QR reader already installed. If the app crashes at this point for you, try downloading QR Reader and try from there. What is the point of the app when I can just use my QR Reader? Great idea, though! Can't wait to use it at jamboree!
