GoodOleBoy73 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The app sucks. End of story. Just take it back to the old format (again) so that we can get our scores and talk trash to people in peace. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were ads on the old format, but they changed the interface so they could sell more ad space and make even more money. They took something that worked and changed it to simply make more money. DCTF also bought the app from someone, I assume. So they paid money for the app with the intention, I'm just guessing cuz I don't have a business degree, of making it something that makes more money for them!!! It's a novel concept, you know, to try and maximize the profits on a service you are providing. They missed. The app is worse now than it was. No doubt about it! But do you think the goal was to make it worse to make more money? That doesn't make any sense! My guess is they will try to improve it knowing what the issues are. That's kind of how the free market works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for DCTF that they have a corner on the market and the app is really the only reliable source for scores, they'll continue to make money off of it and people will continue to complain. then........hire a developer........ make app......... use for free.................... lose money............. or use the FREE app and shut the owifnoenf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomer Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I'm pretty sure the APP had something to do with the Bearcats home loss. Just sayin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle8 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Not a fan of it at all.....but it's free. So, ima just shut up and use it. I bet yall are too. Ya know why? Cuz its free. And though it's not as easy as before.....it's still the best place to get updates without having to click on thread after thread after thread on a message board. Oh, and did I mention it's free? The last app had us spoiled.....I get that.....but it is what it is....change is inevitable. Unfortunately, this change went down hill....not up. But if it'll load and it ain't crashed....I'ma use it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Just put the 300 mile scores option back and I'm good with it .... I don’t mind the ads or other changes as long as it works, which it has for me .... but removing the best feature of the app was dumb in my esteemed opinion ...

You are aware that there is a place for feedback on the app store that goes to the developers so that they can correct issues? The app did take a step back and I am not a fan of the redesign, but I'm not a cry baby democrat who's going to get on here and tell DCTF that they owe me the app I would design when I'm giving them literally $0 to use it. But you're being a "bootlicker' "crybaby". The app SUCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimB Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I thought I saw somewhere that the old app required a lot of manual updates. Schedules and stuff like that had to be updated by a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrclean69 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Capitalism at work on both sides. Ads make money. People using the app makes the ads make money. If the people using the app aren't happy they stop using the app no money. App then must adapt to make consumers happy and make money. Complaints are relevant, free or not. The biggest issue is there isn't a competitor to the Friday Night Lights app. If enough people aren't happy there may soon be one. I don't think it would take a computer genius to create the old format (that people were happy with), and combine some sort of ad interface that is efficient and profitable. At the rate of complaints and lack of compliments the most profitable thing for the Friday Night Lights app may be to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
