VITAL BRACELET ARENA 9+

I didnt have much experience with the previous app, but even beyond the comparison, it’s not very good. Every option takes several seconds to load, feeling unresponsive at times. The battle mechanics are fine if not a touch tedious, but i don't mind doing them. Theres lots of storage for your digimon!…but transferring back and forth is buggy and the instructions are poor. My first digimon just disappeared into the ether when trying to get back to the bracelet (stating successful and them disappearing from the app while the bracelet went from waiting to failed, very salty about that) Really, all the instructions on the app are pretty poor. You don't need a whole lot, but it’d be nice to see more than like, one sentence. Does any type of battle get you win percentages? Is it only when you fight players? What do adventures get you? I’m getting ability changing items and i haven't been told how you even get an ability. Google exists sure but i shouldn't have to look up how your app works, or trial and error it. And it also certainly shouldn't be effectively wiping all my progress while trying to use basic functions. Makes me scared to use it at all.

I got the American release of the viral bracelet , called the Vital Hero, a few months ago and loved it since. But upon hearing the original app that was highly praised was shut down, I was sad that I never got to experience it but hoped this app would most likely just be better than the original.
Guess we’re wrong. Very buggy and sluggish. If this app was fast and instant as the first app then I would 100% connect my characters into the device after each new evolution unlocked! But sadly the sluggishness of having to wait on load screens constantly between every single screen tap just pushes that desire away.
I got the new DC characters VHM pack, and this has been out at least for a couple weeks and I am just now using it and I see that the app hasn’t added support for it yet. That’s kind of disappointing when I want to see the tips how to evolve into what character I want.
I am newer in my field of interest into the digimon franchise still, but it’s kind of disappointing even from a newcomers’ perspective that this app still isn’t optimized after being out for so long now.
Please for all of us and all the collectors, we would love to see a great improvement on the app, and I would very much like to connect my new VHM card to the app to save my unlocked characters as well.

Arena took a really solid system and watered it down to a boring “haha attack” type game. The character labs had missions, items to assist in battles, and a much better soundtrack in my opinion. If they could at least bring back missions or items, it would be worth playing, but right now it feels like an alpha test. I hope it can improve with time, but to go from an interactive app that felt connected to the bracelet, it was fun. Additionally, the new app doesn’t support special missions, something the VITAL BRACELET HAS AS A FEATURE. It is really frustrating to see something so unique get thrown away and turned into a boring and lackluster version. The only thing that slightly redeems it is the introduction of dual battles. It is a neat mechanic featured on the old DIGIMON tamogatchi toys that carries over nicely. However this does not change the fact that the labs were fun and unique, and this feels like a half a**ed attempt at saving costs with no regard for the fans.
