 Oh wow! You are right! It seems like I didn't use the correct hook name!

 Another question! How come is that the default value is returning as
 "true", but when I am toggling off and back on again, then I get the value
 "1" instead?

 Is there some sort of way I can make it always return "true" instead of
 "1"?
