Beat the Street

* Doesn’t keep me logged in. * Doesn’t remember that I don’t want to see schools or distribution points. * When schools and distribution points are shown, clicking on a beat box in their vicinity pops up details of the school or distribution point instead of the beat box – super annoying. Zooming in fixes it but it’s fiddly and a faff. * Doesn’t consistently keep the map centred on my location when walking around. Sometimes it stays centred for a while, but not all of the time. More fiddling and faff. * Whilst the people obviously cheating (due to ridiculously high scores) are eventually removed it’s not easy to report them, and the app should be changed to prevent that type of blatant cheating to start with. Literally nobody is genuinely getting 5000 gem points a day. * When I first installed the app I found it difficult to find the instructions how to play. I’m playing solo, nobody else to ask or show me. Found instructions eventually but it wasn’t obvious. * Would be helpful for the map to rotate based on the direction my phone is pointing instead of sticking to north. * Would be helpful for every beat box and gem to have a counter above it, showing a choice of: never visited flag, daily visit total, all-time visit total. Info is captured by the app so why can’t we see it? Would help us to identify which we haven’t yet visited. * Your records section: claims my longest streak is 1 day. It isn’t. I’ve played every day bar one. * Your progress section: average and today are apparently identical. Pretty sure they’re not.

We love the idea behind beat the street, the app is great & the bonus gems are a great idea. This year we’ve found the boxes to be further apart but the gems make up for that which keeps the kids going. Keep up the great work and maybe keep the competition going a bit longer as we had withdrawals last time 🤣

Update - Day 2. Tagged in beat boxes numerous times (screenshotted them all after yesterdays problems), collected numerous gems too, also screenshotted. Only to find out the app isn’t functioning properly and I’ve lost most of those points, around 500!! They are aware of the issue, but aren’t telling people. Absolutely shocking! And they want your tracking data when not using the app so you can collect gems, but if you’re not using the app to collect boxes to unlock gems, it’s all for your tracking data, 24/7! Great idea to get people out, but rubbish app and way too invasive. App deleted and account deleted. First day of using and points haven’t updated on my account from over 5 hours ago? Messages don’t go through to support, eventually after enough tries I got one through. It’s a great idea to get people out, but the app needs improving and speeding up. We’ll see how it goes!
