Boy Scouts of America http://www.scouting.org What's New in Version 1.1Our first update to that app! We have made some great enhancements in this update (Thank you for all the feedback) and we're already working away on a major 2.0 update!New in 1.1: -Landscape view!!!!! -Select from three different font sizes -Swipe from page to page in text view -General app optimization Customer ReviewsGetting much better, no content updates, but viewability is way better. (3 stars)I bought this back in August and gave it 1 star. Version 1.1 is a much improved release, but some of the issues, like fixing typos and keeping the RULES CURRENT, are still lacking. Example, "Bugler" is NOT a valid leadership position for Star, Life or Eagle, it was a typo in the 12th edition and it's still a typo, and yet it's still in this revision. I'm leaving the parts below, from my first eval, cause they still apply. Beats car Liking this more after the update (4 stars) The latest update fixed a few frustrations I had with the app. I hope BSA continues to invest in this app and provides more features over time. Keep it up! Handbook (5 stars) This is a great resource fo modern scouters. As a district executive, this is an amazigly effective reSource to have for situations when very specific questions pop up from volunteers. Very nice!!!!!
