VITAL BRACELET ARENA 9+

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.

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.

The first app was way better. This app took away or diminished features that were perfectly fine in the earlier app. It fails at the main thing that it was supposed to do, battling. I’ve had this app from launch and have only ever found two battles that weren’t against the computer. Storage is somewhat improved thanks to the recently added adventure feature that gives items, but the multiple long loading screens make it take forever just to move a couple of digimon between the vital bracelet and app. The items do help hasten raising digimon, but it can take half a day or more to get anything before you can see if you even needed the thing in the first place. There is no incentive to collect, no incentive to battle, etc. The only reason I really continue is because I enjoy the franchise. I have a hard time recommending this to anyone in the state it is currently in. I’ve never had a crash or glitch like some, but they could do so much better with this app. It is a huge disappointment.
