Terrible user experience
BUGs everywhere, so slow to load.
Not user friendly
The online website provides wrong instructions and CS is not extant
Better, but still terrible
The app doesn’t lag as much as it used to but after completing my 4 years at uni, I am so glad that I don’t have to use it again.
BUCS Play is a mess, it takes a day and an age to register and once you do, it then takes another chunk of time to find your team.
I get that it’s having to balance every single university sporting society within the UK on its website, but you really have to go out of your way to ensure that every single player within your team has committed to the effort of navigating through the app and successfully joined your team on the database.
It’s a lot of effort for something that in all honesty, should be automated through respective universities once you’ve paid for society memberships.
If you’re partaking in one of the elite competitions e.g. BUCS Super Rugby, then it’s significantly easier to navigate than if you’re in the lower divisions.

Abusively intrusive
To register it contains a list of obligatory questions that make the census look straightforward.
Why do I have to tell you the occupation of the main wage earner in my household when I was 14 in order to look at fixtures?

Worst app ever
Come on BUCS please do better! It crashes all the time and then just will not work at all. Adds stress to the already stressful student athlete life
THE WORST APP
This app is completely pointless. Not one thing on it works. It continually forgets what sports/ comps you’re in and anytime you press on ANY BUTTON it says “something went wrong”. Literally the worst app I have ever used. The whole thing needs remaking from scratch. It is AWFUL
Awful
Didn’t get as far as seeing the app as gave up after the fifth ridiculous question about sexual orientation…
Unusable
app and website have been unusable for years. navigation is impossible. good luck trying to find your team, league, sport, results etc. UI and UX are awful
Does not work
Something is always going wrong. I recently signed up for a membership and I went to join a nearby gym, and I got a error saying something went wrong. But a couple of days ago I could at least see the venues that are near me. So I went to the gym to see if I could join there, paid £6 for parking, went to the desk and they said I had to use the app. So that was a wasted trip and a waste of motivation.

Crashes beyond use
This app simply does not work, it constantly has error messages and crashes every three seconds. It needs a lot of work.
Cool idea but does not work
The app is so glitchy that you can’t use even the basic functions.
New Update has Broken It
Only error messages now
Useless
“An error occurred”. Useless
Unusable
It feels like they literally just did not test it before releasing it, in that it generally does not work at all. It also takes far too long to set up and uses too much of your information.
Designed by a five year old
Honestly I have seen some poor apps before but this is beyond useless - wasn’t an option for 0 out of 5
Buggy
Buggy app. They don’t reply when you contact them about it. Poor customer service. Use the main website instead of this low quality app.
Start over
This is genuinely one of the worst apps I have ever had the displeasure of using and would prefer malware. I have had to use this app for the past 3 years and it is worse now than it was then, because at least I could access the app. For the past two weeks, no matter which network, hotspot, or mobile data I use, the app says “no internet connection”, so I redownloaded the app and when asked to log in again, it says my account doesn’t exist ???? Remake the app from scratch because trying to organise teams using this awful site is taking years off my life.

Great Improvement
I’ve been using this app for years and this is a great update!
Doesn’t let you spell irish/scottish names correctly
Scottish/Irish Surnames can’t be spelt properly as it won’t let you capitalize the letter after the MacX or McX unless you leave a space like Mac X or Mc X which is incorrect. please could you fix this and allow all with wrongly spelt names to fix the problem.
Way better than before!
Actually really like the new version! Much easier to get to fixtures and league tables.
