PractiScore Competitor

I am not a fan of the new interface update. I’ve been a user for a few years now, and was previously very happy with the layout and density of information. Now, a significant amount of screen space is wasted to completely blank areas, and the text size looks like it belongs on baby’s first brainrot iPad. Key features seem to be missing as well. Where did competitors’ classifications go? Why does the match name disappear when I scroll down? Why can I no longer tap on the bars on the graph on the individual competitor screen to see split times and other data? Why does the list of saved matches (when you tap “Change Match”) now put the most recently viewed match at the top of the list instead of staying in descending chronological order, or at least offering an option? The main purpose of this app (to everyone I know that uses it, at least) is to view data in an efficient manner, not be simple to use or look nice. To the developer, I understand you must have put a lot of hard work into this update, so this feedback must be difficult to receive, but it simply ruins the experience of using your app. Please revert the design or bring back key elements from the previous design.

Sure, you could wait until you get home and then email screenshots to your friends showing them how badly they did compared to you, but why? Spend a few bucks and you can show them as soon as the scores get uploaded! Not only does it show the raw scores, you can compare shooters directly. “See how much faster I shot this stage compared to you?” You can also compare your score to the local hot dog to see where he’s beating you. You can’t fix what you can’t measure. Having that displayed in a graphical form makes it easier to understand. Spend a few bucks so you can see your scores easily and feel good knowing those dollars go towards paying the guy who built the free app that makes practical shooting scoring happen at all.

I’m only writing this review because I clicked on the app help and it’s a broken link. This app is mostly useless in its current form. Cannot use it to sign up for matches. My experience so far is that most matches don’t load the results in a way this app can see them under the results tab. I mostly shoot IDPA and even the state championships don’t show up in the results tab even though they are uploaded to practiscore. Hopefully they fix it. I was gonna donate to practiscore anyways because they’ve helped advance shooting sports, so I’ll just consider the $10 for this app a donation.
