Ratings and Reviews
Thank you
For years, I dreaded the filling out of paper brackets...not quite understanding the scoring involved as I picked teams based on favorite colors and underdogs (whether I’d heard of them or not). No judging...I’ve come a far way from there although I think I was somehow more successful back then in my clueless years. Anyways, thanks for creating an app that makes it easy to fill out and calculates my points so I can easily rub my predictions (that are still horridly off) in my friends faces. It has made March Madness fun instead of a yearly dread of watching friends lose their minds...now I can join the madness too. :)
Don’t bury the women’s tournament
The app is a lot of fun. I appreciate the opportunity to fill out lots of brackets (one in which my fave teams win, one in which I predict lots of upsets, etc.). I like the auto fill options as well. But I care as much about the women’s tournament as the men’s, and I’m surprised that the women’s tournament is still an afterthought. It is a hassle to have to dig for it (and dig even deeper to get the game times). What’s worse, after I dig down to game level within my bracket, there is no way to go back one screen to the bracket. The only option is to hit exit, which sends you back to “Play More Games” level, where you have to select “play” the women’s tournament. Come on! Maybe you should just create a separate app for the women’s tournament. But I’ll give you credit for including the women’s tournament in the app; the NCAA’s own March Madness app doesn’t include anything about the women’s tournament! Crazy!
Terrible
Destroying the traditional four quadrant view of the tournament bracket makes it hard to see how the games come together.
There are frequent issues with the real-time coding of winners & losers - the team names are right, but sometimes your eliminated picks show in crossed-out red type and sometimes just in crossed-out grey type. BEWARE: Your “correct” picks are only shown in green in the first round, so just when you get used to reading the bracket layout it changes. Why don’t your advancing teams keep displaying in green? 🤷♀️
Hey Disney - Hire some graphic/UI designers (maybe not just sports enthusiasts) and better coding QA personnel!
I have followed the tournament for 35 years, and have filled out many amateur “just for fun” brackets. This app is not intuitive, and the amount of study you have to undertake to understand what your own bracket is telling you is not worth it. Not to mention how the poor design makes it impossible to include more casual tournament fans… 🤦♀️
