Re: Championship Mobile App - Can it be better?

Yes! I'm so glad someone finally brought this up!

I agree with everyone above, the Championship app could be so much more than it is now. Theoretically, it should be the app that every team member, mentor, volunteer, visitor etc. has on their smartphone to find out what's going on where, along with other important information about the competition.

Being an Android user, the app consistently feels like a repackaged iOS app, and looks like something from 2010.

With an army of talented, motivated, and skilled students at their disposal, who (might) do it for free, I don't see why they wouldn't turn it into a competition. At the very least, they should ask for community input.

I hope that this changes soon. I've been to Championships with my team every year since 2010, and ever since the app has existed, it just isn't worth the download.
