BANDAI TCG ‪＋‬ 9+

The One Piece TCG reddit figured this out, if you're running into the issue where it won't give you the membership number just fill out the page without entering a phone number, hit register and it will give you your membership number. I finally figured this out today, extremely frustrating that it seems like this has been a problem for months and I had to dig to find a reddit thread (that was only posted 2.5 weeks ago!) to figure out how to be able to sign up for official Bandai events. Only giving 2 stars so people hopefully see this.

As someone who has never really been interested in Bandai’s products and who is just attempting to sign up with a friend to play this new Battle Spirits Saga game, this experience with this particular app can only be described as abysmally frustrating. The app is ancient in appearance and functionality and looks like it belongs in the early 2000’s and functions about as well as Windows Vista (never forget, never forgive).

The fact that this absolute JOKE of an app is a REQUIREMENT to join in a tournament is a testament to the long term effects of radiation. How can such a longtime company in the trading card game business release such a pitiful excuse for an app and actually expect people to have the patience to download and redownload this in order to play in a game shop with a friend is asinine.

A little side message to any Bandai Reps reading:

People are already overpaying you copious amounts of money to participate in your games (because despite 25+ years in this business, you have het to figure out how supply and demand works, apparently). If you want to continue to enjoy the fruits of your (evidently poorly attempted) labors, you should think log and hard about updating this ancient, minimalist trash of an app and seriously consider studying up on logistics chains. There are plenty of other card games for your customers to consider playing. Trust me when I say this: they don’t need you as a distributor.

I have seen some bad apps in my life, but this is by far the worst app I have ever seen! The navigation is very hard, it is difficult to do just about everything. Half the features either don’t work or are basically useless. The fact that this app is “needed” to do events is a load of crap! I’m not sure if Bandai is trying to drive people away from their game, but if they keep making us use this terrible app we will lose a lot of people and the game will begin to die.
Bandai fix this app or don’t require it all together.
Also, the program uses more data and runs slower than I final website did. It takes forever and burns through so much data just to look through cardlist. And for the love of the search, please add a toggle for turning on or off alternate arts!
