Girl Guides of Canada for Android
App crashes a LOT. I am Contact Guider for two unit and it keeps getting my units mixed up. When under my Spark Unit it brings up my Brownies for attendance or when adding badges for my Brownies it bring up the Spark Keepers. Also DCs and should have access to the District Rosters. Brownie keys should be broken down more. Sometime I will be working on a part of a key but only A and C of it.
It is great to have if I forget to update the girls paper records. But it keeps crashing when trying to look at the badges for other areas in the badge tracker section.
With all the feedback why has the app team not done an update since December to fix the problems. Crashes at least once every time I use it. Need a Web version. Helpful for looking at your roster. The schedule is nice but time consuming to enter the time of every meeting.
Need a desktop version. I don't use it as I don't want to waste all of my data (that I pay for personally) on this app. Excel spreadsheet is still a better option for me personally.
Update: continued crashes when trying to add badges. Agree with some others that this needs a web version It's good in theory but crashes too often and has too many bugs to trust it fully with our unit's records.
Horrible. App crashes or says there is an error everytime I try to add badges. Way too frustrating. Need a web version too.
Always crashes when trying to do badge stuff. Would be nice if there was a web version so the badge stuff and attendance would be easier and faster to update
I have been having issues with the app since I first downloaded it. I now keep getting error messages when I try to log in to reference what has been done and entered into the app, and I can't even log in.
Love the app, but it does crash constantly! It would be nice if it networked with the home computer!
Shouldn't be able to clear records without a prompt to indicate are you sure
When i try to see the badges for the Pathfingers the App shuts down
I think this is absolutely amazing for us. Thanks so much.
It constantly crashes which I can handle. It is really slow at updating girls records for the badges and keys they have earned. Now today some of my girls are not showing up at all or not updating to show completed or awarded. I will change the rating once more of the bugs are fixed and the girls show the correct status for badges.
I set up a meeting with badge work for a guide program badge. I entered attendance and it changed the status for girls who had status set to awarded to in progress. This means I would lose track of who I have awarded badges to. Also the Guide service badges need to be added.
We love the badge tracking and having access to membership lists and contact info right on our phones. Great idea! The app is quick and simple to log into and loads instantly. This is a great tool we use weekly. I can't wait to see features added in future. Perhaps a way to send group messages, post events, track payments.....I can dream. This app is a great solid start!
Constantly get error messages when logging in and then the app won't open. Very frustrating.
Would love to be able to email my parents from the app like it advertises.
My daughter is a Ranger. Her guider shared this link with me. It only goes to Pathfinders. :-(
Would love to see cookie tracker and cookie all stars integrated. Occasional crashes. Great for badge tracking. Would like guider and parent accounts accessible without having to log in to separate accounts constantly.
I spent hours putting in my units two years of badges. All ready for the new year and now that the season has started all my progress is gone! I'm beyond frustrated.
This app is amazing, the only way I could improve the site would be to add links to guiding songs and to instant meetings. Thank you for setting this, very handy tool, up for us.
Love the badge tracking by meetings. The only improvement that would be needed at this point is having the girls birthday listed in their info.
Really like the app, but I feel like I'm missing most of the pathfinder program. I'm only seeing the core. WI'll the other becoming?
Info on unit and program. Very helpful!!
There are some things that can be done to make it easier to use. Like the time of the meetings, should be a clock so that you don't have to keep scrolling. Or it should automatically just put what the time from the last entry. Also, I can't associate a badge with my meeting. Just the keys. Unless I want to have the girls all selected for it. And the app has to be connected to the internet for taking attendance. Which is just silly. The idea is good... Work still needs to be done.
This will be great for the girls and parents to be able to access their record for example while working towards their Canada Cord. As a Guider I love the fast access to our roster and girls records!
Yes there are bugs, just as with any new app, but still an amazing resource to keep track of badges meetings and program. I love it. I look forward to the continued updates!
I can only see one of my units and it's not even the one I'm the contact Guider for.
What a great start to an app that will make life easier for leaders! Hope the cookie tracking part gets developed more...please!

Edit 2: Remove the mandatory location field! Unnecessary step. Edit: Im still liking the app but it would be nice there was a note section when you create a meeting. We could jot down if we are working on an area/provincial challenges what we have done. Love the badge tracking by meetings. The only improvement that would be needed at this point is having the girls birthday listed in their info.
