FIS App 4+

Update lacks/hides key information

I find the update not only confusing to navigate, but also uninformative. Number of WC, WSC, and Olympic starts, podiums, wins should be displayed directly on athletes’ pages. Why has it been removed? I cannot find this information anywhere. Additionally, WC/Nor-Am standings should be linked directly to athletes’ pages as well. I can still find these by navigating but the information is hard to find when it used to be right there. Please fix this! I cannot imagine why the decision would ever be made to remove WC wins and standings from athletes’ pages. That is half of the reason I use the app and it is so difficult to track the season without them.

Lacking features of old app

Can’t look up an athlete’s points in new app - can see results - but you’re left to guess what their points are. Bring this feature back. Also, getting to lookup and athlete is buried in the menu and requires one to search for a favorite. Make it easier to get to an athlete lookup and provide filters for the search - sport, active, gender, country are all easy filters to implement and were in the past version.

Video of replays is working, but requires them to open in a browser window. Clunky but ok.

Seems as if designers didn’t plan for smaller screen devices. Text on lines are cut and wrapped in odd spots on phone and not iPad.

Developer Response ,

We strongly believe that the new app presents a better experience to follow our sports closely. We just released the first version now and we are committed to constantly improve the app further! We'll bring back all the statistics requests, combined with an improved UX.

Many thanks for your feedback and cheering for snowsports!

New app is not better

I find this updated app frustrating. Prior app you could follow countries so you don’t have to choose each athlete!to follow individually, you could do multiples. Is it that I can’t figure it out? Also for discipline you could get alerts by level, world cup only as example. Why are prior results so hard to find? Look at previous features determine what was used and replicate, do a user survey, are the developers users of the app? Digital design 101
