Clarets Player phone app - ruined by latest update!

Post by icu81b4 » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:19 pm

Why do some app developers feel the need to meddle, some functions that were very easy to use and extremely useful seem to have disappeared completely. Their used to be an area that showed all the games in progress across all divisions and current score. Gone !
It also used to list all the games across all divisions and next day's play etc...
Just tried to find the game that's in play at the moment and I have to select it from the league table.

Rubbish.

What do you suggest I use to replace this once excellent resource?

Don’t know what’s wrong with my App. Every time I go in I get a dogs dinner of a screen so have to delete the app, then download it again......I then watch a video, but then screen reverts to dogs dinner and off we go again

Haven't had the problems seen above (yet) but must admit the new format is garbage and much difficult to negotiate....

As has been said if it works LEAVE IT ALONE... It worked well

Agree that it is aesthetically awful and not as comprehensive as previously.

Having worked in IT Development I have found that many developers (not all) like to try 'the latest thing'. Rather than focusing on 'the customer' and 'what works' they focus on 'what are the latest developments that I can put on my CV?' I have seen multi million pound projects ruined through this.

Rubbish is a good description. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I only use it for the video content so was pleased there is now a link from the home page to take you straight there.

I wonder if they'd have been able to spell practice correctly on the old version (see latest training video)
