The Big Hoot

Great

So excited to start using it, but when I tried to scan the code, it didnt do anything, even though the scanner did detect the code, but nothing happened! Same thing happened to the others who tried after me too

As this app is free and for charity I don't feel people can complain. My 5 year old has loved tracking down the owls. Is there anyway to delete owls manually? Ours has added all the owls from the museum despite us not going in there or scanning them. My son feels like it's cheating. Will be visiting them at some point. Brill idea. Thanks for a great, free of charge activity to keep the kids entertained. Will definitely be donating the the children's hospital.

Initially installed this on a Galaxy S3, with which it worked ok. My young son loved it. On a return trip we loaded it on to a Sony Z2, what a disappointment. Unable to scan any QR codes, app just seemed to hang regardless of whether network connection was on or off. My young son was most disappointed. Not good, not good at all. No diagnostics on the phone, so assume app has a problem. Tried it at home just to see if it logged the QR codes we scanned, guess what? It locked up. Spoilt a fun experience

Great idea and the interface is straightforward to use. However, the QR reader is very temperamental and the app regularly freezes. Not easy to be harsh when this is for charity so will leave it there.

Problems with showing which hoots you have found and which you haven't on map. As in it doesn't work! Otherwise a good app

Cute idea but it doesn't work. The app stopped scanning codes and there is no manual add. But it's for charity so....

Had fantastic 10 weeks app has been grate and some fantastic offers I've loved searching for the owls and gutted to be deleting the app as all over now I've been the farewell x

Great app with some excellent features. But when syncing my app I have managed to loss about 10 owls that I have QR scanned.

The QR code reader doesn't work. Have tried over a dozen owls and none are recognised.

Great to have all the owls and locations on app, scanned two owls today but the QR scanner didn't recognise the owls we tried numerous times but it just wouldn't work :(

Great idea but scanner takes an age to open sometimes and the map toggle to show which owls you have/haven't found doesn't work at all

Why does the app need SMS permissions ?

I had previously successfully scanned in 29 owls, today the app seems to have forgotten half of them, along with the four that I added today :-(

A lovely little Treasure Trail/Urba Hike that tours you through the best bits of birmingham, and the owls are fine pieces of art in themselves :D

I thought it was my phone at first, then I thought I was crazy, but thanks to previous reviewers I can see it is not just me! Any chance it van be fixed as me and my son were so excited to use it. We have seen some in places we will not revisit. Also why can't I tick off an owl without scanning it?

QR code scanner worked fine on my phone. I gave up using the app after about the owls though, as the integrated map lacked functionality. Should have a 'centre on current location' button, 'heading up' view, and/or a compass direction to help find owls.

Qr code worked since long week ago I got new owls now!

Found this after seeing the owl's, can't see a way to manually add owls seen, as didn't have app to scan qr codes at the time :(

When I first downloaded the app it worked well for the first day, however now it will only sporadically allow me to open the QR scanner to log progress.This is most frustrating as there is no other way to log the owls that have been found.Also I have found that on the off chance when the scanner does activate the app now doesn't recognise that I've found an owl.I should note that I love the idea of this app and it's great for occupying children for free,I'm just frustrated it's not working hence 1star.

The app always crashes when trying to use it and when it does work its really slow

Rarely manages to successfully scan QR codes, which is very disappointing. Would be great if this was fixed.

Logged out and lost all but 8 owls! How can this be fixed?

Would rather just be able to enter owls we've seen on a tick list. But the owls are amazing!!!

Scanner doesn't work on certain owls

Fun day out with kids. Map worked ok and great to have all the info on the owls. However about 7 owls not shown as found even though scanned. Qr code recognised but not loading to app. Shame when there are rewards for finding them.

We are in Sutton and cannot scan the big owls very fed up kids! As we intended to visit all of them this app doesn't deliver.

Can't log in and won't be able to get round them again. Daughter very disappointed that progress has been lost.

Great

Scanned but didn't recognise all codes! Rubbish

This could be a great app but like other users I cannot register on Android. The big tick is stopping password confirmation. Fix please.Fix worked well thank you!

The app is great but the map function is not working on my Android. Additionally the button to scan (qr code) needs to be bigger.

Thank you developers for listening and fixing the registration issue. Looks a good app now. Looking forward to discovering the owls and unlocking the offers with my owl lover. :) fab.

So far only a 20% success rate when scanning. Also, not using location services correctly to locate where I am on the map.

I have scanned 3 owls today, the scan appears to work but the app hasn't recognised these owls as "found". Disappointing as there is no other way to demonstrate you have found the owls

On android I'm finding it impossible to register for an account as I can't fill in the second password confirmation section. Edit: seems to be working after update, thanks!

Have signed in and cant wait to be out and about finding owls. Kudos to the devolper for replying. :) There's a giant tick box obscuring the password confirmation and I can't fill it in to register.

Like other reviewers I can't register due to the big tick box. I thought it was just the way it was laid out on a small phone screen but had the same problem on my tablet too. I can still use it to find nearby owls so all is not lost. Just disappointed I won't be able to keep track of the owls I do spot.

Cannot register as tick box is preventing me from confirming password. It's a shame as this could be a really good app!

As everyone has said before, you are unable to register because of the stupid big tick box! Please sort this out before the launch on Monday, thanks.
