Just like the website (which can devour even the strongest computers), there’s so much focus on trying to jam as many ads in as possible that it borderline breaks the app. Schedules glitch out and jump around as ads try and load everywhere. Scrolling around can cause one to somehow open an app at the bottom of the screen. Every time you want to open a new window, ad. I’ve been on IMLeagues for 4 years now and the running joke with my friends is that the website and app’s most functional parts are the ads, while everything else seems to be off the priority list. The app gets lost while you navigate. If you try and go through too many pages it gets amnesia and as you try to hit the back button it keeps opening the same page until you get back home. The buttons are unintuitive and even downright invisible. It took me ages to find out that tapping different parts of a line of text could open up different menus. And this is just the app. The website takes eons to load because it tries to fill half the page with ads. It never creates a proper cookie to remember your information when you come back. The navigation is a maze, and if I have more than two of three tabs open my 16GB RAM desktop will start to cry. But you can bet that those ads will still work regardless of anything else. Ad blocker? Haha. The one part of their website that’s consistently working is making sure you don’t have one of those on.

So. Many. Ads. Normally I don't mind one or two ads to keep the app free/low cost, but holy cow is it an unpleasant experience to use both the website and the app because of the ads. They slow down the webpage to the point of freezing every time I navigate to a new page. The app is better (with a couple 30 second full screen ads each time you open the app to check your team's schedule), but I am unable to register successfully to team invitations because the signature box for waivers is not available on mobile. So this year I have been forced to endure the pain of using the website to join teams, and then use the app as a glorified schedule. I highly wish my university would use a different scheduling system than IMleagues.

Perhaps the worst user experience ive ever seen in a mobile app or website. It seems like the developers never tested anything even once. Even with the new app, there are still obvious issues like text being cut off in longer questions or answers. The whole experience is honestly interesting because of how bad it is. Even this input form has spellcheck disabled for some reason, like why? In fact, I just realized I can’t submit this message within this form because the keyboard covers up the cancel/submit option so I’m posting it over on the App Store reviews section. If any developer is reading this please email me and I’ll put together a list of ridiculous things users have to deal with. Oh my.

I don’t understand how this app has near 5 stars. It has so many bugs. The ads are very slow to load and slow down the program. There are bugs in the UI, the profile button under the picture in the menu loads randomly to the left. When I try to click on “Join Team” after I received an invitation, it just shows a little sliver of a blank box with an OK button. It looks as though something was supposed to load there but hasn’t. Giving this app a good rating just enables the developer to leave these bugs in and think the app is working properly when it isn’t. This worsens the experience for everyone, including the reviewers.

This app is terrible. I was trying to pay the extra funds for not being a student and I couldn’t even find out where to pay. If you have someone trying to pay and they can find it you know you have a problem. You can’t accept new user through the mobile app. There is no search when selecting a school so you have to scroll through hundreds of schools to find yours. The invite email to join a team doesn’t send. And signing up on the app requires a signature but there is no where to sign. Honestly just a terrible user experience. If the app doesn’t crash at least three time then count your self lucky.
