Golf Channel

I love the golf channel app and it’s my go to for scoring, news, op-eds, instructional videos, etc. The update had some great ambition to expand the feature set and offer direct streaming options, equipment reviews, etc. But there are MAJOR bugs that need to be reworked. 1. Scoring — following players is extremely cumbersome. I have to attempt 3-4 times to tap the star next to a player before I’m actually following them. Please fix the hit box — it’s inexcusable right now. 2. When I click on a player the scoring interface automatically takes me to Round 1, regardless of which round I’m checking. This is insane. If a player is halfway through his third round and I want to look at his card, the app should by default take you to the MOST RECENT available card. If I care to see a player’s previous rounds, I’ll do so at my own discretion. This is such a simple fix. 3. Video playback within stories is still really slow, cumbersome, buggy and constantly crashes. Needs to be addressed. 4. You are integrating a lot more Instagram into the app in order to keep up with the times and jump on the IG bandwagon. That’s great but please integrate this in a more seamless manner. Just talk to your developer colleagues at Buzzfeed about how to integrate IG into your platform. 5. Other than that — I truly love the direction of the app and all the added features and content. Truly — but it needs to be fleshed out quite a bit before it’s stable and usable. Thank you. Russ.

Worst app upgrade ever. i used to use this app everyday for stories, news, and videos. Now, I only use it when i have to watch the broadcast. It’s just pathetic. Whoever redesign this version seemed to only have graduated from high school and worked as a freelancer as a app designer. I couldn’t read the articles because the letters are too small. I have no way of adjusting it. I can figure out what layout configuration its using for it makes no sense. Everything is put together haphazardly as if by chance. No logic in how things are catergorized. One more time, it is pathetic！

I have never written an app review before, but after years of using the Golf Channel app with only one complaint (more on that in the next paragraph), I feel compelled to say that your latest upgrade is one of the worst upgrades to any app I have ever used. The fonts are so small that text can barely be seen and so gray that text can hardly be distinguished from the background. There's way too much white space between names and scores and between one name and the next, so you can't gather in a lot of information all at once, and there's no box or line (just the faint word "Leaderboard" separating favorite players from the full field scores. My one consistent complaint is the backseat that the LPGA takes in the "Tournaments this Week" list and, usually, in the "News" section. Disappointing.
