Help please read!

I’ve edited and posted new locations with approved emails and I’m not getting counted on my profile for some reason.

I’ve been traveling through Mongolian capital fixing times and adding businesses which are located around my flat.

Is there a way to get this sorted out ?

I’ve gotten emails where it accepts new locations it accepts edits it even shows up live on google maps after I do everything how it’s supposed to and get the app doesn’t give the count to my profile.

it’s a little demotivating because I enjoy doing it for fun to keep count of the things I’ve done since Im traveling Mongolia and I travel around the world usually.

is this app bugged am I doing something wrong? Why is the app not counting my contributions but sends emails of my acceptance and puts locations and fixes locations live on the app.

Hi @Adalbert1 . How long ago did you add these new locations and get approval? Once you receive the email or notification that your edit has been approved, it could still take another 2-3 days for the count to appear on your profile. Are you beyond that 2-3 day period and still not seeing the added places in your points or profile?
