This app used to be a 5 star, best out of the tournament pick apps. It was the cleanest and most efficient way to preview the matchups, see the actual results vs your picks, and join and manage your groups.
All of these things are now significantly more difficult/less usable. The matchups used to display both teams at once, now you have to click between them to read the info. It’s now next to impossible to view your picks and your progression of teams through the tournament on the mobile app than it was last year. It’s also much more difficult to manage your brackets and what you’re joining groups with. Additionally, the “how far did other people have this team in the group” option wasn’t even ready until the second weekend.
A really disappointing iteration of the app that I hope they improve upon next year.
