Re: Birth of an Android App!

I may be a bit biased, but whatever.

I'm glad you decided to make the app free. In its current state, it certainly isn't worth $1 in my eyes. I actually found TBA's mobile site easier to navigate and faster to load.

Consider this some constructive criticism...
  • Your app has a big problem with scrolling, in that most of the time it doesn't work on my phone. When I loaded the matches for an event, I had trouble seeing more than what was on my screen. When I actually got it to scroll down, I couldn't scroll up anymore.
  • It also does not behave as I'd expect with respect to the back button. The standard behavior for the back button is to take you back one screen, not exit the app. You should not have a separate "soft" back button in your app, use the one that's already on the phone, that's why it's there.
  • For the limited amount of information that you're showing on the screen, the user should not be forced to scroll left & right.
  • Put the team search box & button on the top of the screen so the user does not have to hit the back button to get rid of the soft keyboard in order to click the search button.
  • The ">>" button on the team page has no implicit meaning. How do I know that it will take me to the event results?
