NetballConnect

Terrible app. Not intuitive in any way. The feeling out in my netball community is that it was rolled out 3 seasons too early. It has potential, but is causing so many issues on game day in the current state.

This app is awful and needs serious work. Impossible to register. List of things you need to work on: Date of birth entries - no one wants to have to click through every single month back to the year your child was born. Make individual drop down options for day/month/year. Watch your wording - it says search for competition - which I assumed was searching for the actual competition my child is in (the netball association). It should say "search for CLUB" because that's what you need to find before you go any further. Then I got through all the registration details, a lot of which were unneccessary information with no option to opt out (you really don't need to know a favourite netball team or player, and if she doesn't have a medical condition I shouldn't have to type N/A in every box just so it won't scream at me for not filling something in). Then it got stuck and wouldn't let me progress to payment. Literally couldn't move the page except to click on "back". I mean, do you even attempt using the app yourselves before you release it to see if it works? I gave up and did it on my laptop on Chrome. This whole registration process needs to be way easier. For example, my daughter played last year, for the same club. I would have loved to have logged in and just retrieved her details and registered rather than having to start from scratch.

So many things unavailable in this app/system compared to MyNetball. 1. To put players in multiple teams (eg players benching for older teams), they have to register multiple times. No other sports system requires this. 2. The results interface is horrible. Shows final scores only. 3. Really clunky to use as an administrator. Every time I ask how to do something I could do in MyNetball, answer is that it is not available. Admins can't help users like we could in MyNetball. Just awful.
