Best Coast Pairings ١٢+

The search function is broken and can only show global events. I set my location and searched for events in a 50 mile radius and all the results are in different states throughout the U.S. The search function has been broken for a while too. Why include a search function if it doesn’t work and you’re not gonna support it?

Very sad and disappointing that BCP has so dramatically changed the experience for the worse. The first issue with the lists is that you are redirected to a web browser when looking at someone’s list. It’s also impossible to look at different list without reloading the full global list and starting a new browser tab. On top of this the event search is clunky and claustrophobic. It somehow lists every online event on a global level which drowns out every in-person event listing. I’m sure it’s still great for tournament leads to capture points but from a players perspective it’s an auto-unsubscribe. At this point, it’s begging to be replaced by something even slightly better.

Update:

Not sure if the people at BCP have listened to the feedback but they have definitely improved the list search UX. Still a little disappointing that you can’t opt out of “online events” on the app but if you search on a mobile browser you can. Seems like a really easy fix. Moving this up to three stars

I’ve used BCP for a about 8 years and while I’ve always been tempted to subscribe to unlock all the features, as the years go by the usability keeps decreasing. Maybe I’ve missed the tutorial but I’ve found my self having to ask randoms on the internet how things function or where to find X filter or usability feature I need. Worse example was when I was urged the the community stop using the app and use the website. After the app finally gets a redesign and it feels like I’m just using a website.

I’d like to support the developer especially since this is the THE app my community has decided it would use. But for all the reasons above and several not stated I can’t recommend this app to anyone unless they enjoy being confused and frustrated.
