TREAT TOWN™ Halloween

I actually forgot about this Thursday so I created an account today. For those that are wondering (based on prior comments), you use the parents DOB to enter into the app then kids create their own avatar. I also had a lot of problems trying to buy candy in the app but learned the work around was going to the site on the internet instead of the app and it worked. You can also set limits as to how much candy you give away each day and if you want to allow all kids (public) or just private kids (those you know) virtually trick or treat. I only wished their would be something that would show you which houses are public and have candy vs which ones are out, so you don’t try to knock on 800 doors to no availability (something my little ones got annoyed with really quickly and is the only reason I won’t give the app 5 stars).

It’s a great idea but you need to have the doors not show up unless they are open for trick giving.. or have a light shin on them ( like having your porch light on ). I am aware most people will probably not set their door to give out candy until Halloween day.. but that also means the kids will have to spend even more time just clicking doors then getting to enjoy time with their family.. if the doors were lit then they could just go to them.. maybe even have a cool down ( like when you walk from house to house normally so kids ( and parents ) don’t just go around and hit the whole nation of houses in an hour and cash out.. but the “Ghosted” is purely disappointing especially to the kids.

Only three stars right now. Love this idea first of all but something has got to give! I have 95 pieces of candy to give out but no one can Get it from my door. There is a bad glitch. Went into account to night and found that all my friends and families list was wiped out. And I am not the only one That this is happening to. Get this fixed before the 31st or you are going to have very unhappy parents and kids!! Should have known this was to good to be true. I know this is fairly new So there will be bumps but come on I am having one after another and it is frustrating!!!!

I would give this app 5 stars if they fix the issues I’ve suddenly come across. The app was great, at first. Other than having to “knock” on lots of doors to get candy, my children loved it. We were able to gets lots of friends, family, and neighbors to sign up and collected a substantial amount of candy. We were also able to keep our door stocked with candy for visitors as well. Three days ago, my friends list, which had well over 100 friends, was suddenly empty. To make matters worse, the app will not allow me to add any new friends. So basically, we are back being “ghosted”. We all joined together to keep our Our doors stocked so the kids can enjoy Halloween, and now my family cannot participate. If they fix this issue, I will update my rating.

The idea behind the app is good. Fun for kids designing their characters and door, but unless you have friends and family that participate, every door you knock on is “ghosted”. The trivia questions expect you to read and answer the questions too fast, and slower readers have little chance at picking the correct answer (not sure it really matters, however, since I don’t know what those points get you anyway!), and the questions aren’t geared toward kids at all (and I feel most, if not all, should be since trick or treating is for kids). I feel like I got ripped off paying for candy because I’m not sure my kid will get any candy from anybody but his aunt, and “cashing in” is still an unknown at this point.
