The 300 miles games near me was far and away the easiest way to do that ...

It’s just something that was a part of the old app that I, and probably other people liked using and it was eliminated .... it's not like I'm asking for something new ... it already existed .... just trying to understand why it was changed ....

If they are using “near me” literally as somepeoe are suggesting, shouldn’t it be narrowed down to just 20 miles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why people are having a hard time picking up what you are putting down. Of course it’s a lot easier to check scores pretty much state wide by using the “games near me” feature.

Under the old app and even last year after they took it over, "Near Me" had two options .... 100 miles and 300 miles ... it worked great .... for some reason during this last update they changed to a sliding measurement maxing out at 100 miles which cuts out a lot of scores that used to be available .... just trying to find out why they changed it .... maybe they can extend it back out to 300 miles like it was before .... I'm really not wanting to argue the point with you young turkeys who don't have any pertinent information .... I would much prefer to hear from the ones that own/changed the app ....

Did you try giving feedback to the app owners in the app store as opposed to just ranting on Smoaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
