No Update for 2022
This used to be the go to app for FIRST. There isn’t an update for teams and events. Now using the Blue Alliance.
Won’t update after first time opening
I have the same problem a few others have mentioned. When I first install the app it works great. When I close it and reopen it, it says no events found. When I reinstall, it works fine one time. Rinse and repeat.
Still Working?
Have used this app for many years, but doesn’t appear to work now on my iPhone8. Initial load is good and I can find teams/events. After the first update they are all lost and can’t get anything else. Sad if I can’t use it anymore.
Disappointed
My daughter is a senior this year and I really wanted to support her and know everything that was going on and thought this app was going to be great. And it is! When I first install. Then, it won’t update between matches. It says no update found. and everything is blank. I have to uninstall and reinstall. Every single time I want to check my kids team score. That’s unacceptable.

Oof
FRC Spyder isn’t horrible and works well (if a little slow)... but for some reason I keep getting scores from Stronghold 2016.
...it’s 2018.

Works great
Perfect for following matches and watching ranks.
When it works, it works great!
For the most part, FRC Spyder has been my best friend throughout my years in FRC. However, there are times matches don't update. This could be due to slow response times between the app and wherever it gets match information from.
Not updating match results 3/2/2018
This app was great last year for keeping track of rankings and match results. However this year the match results are being posted and ranking is not accurate. Do y’all know when that’ll be fixed??
Works great but could use a little more...
One feature that I'd like to see is the option to turn on a team notification for changes in current rank. Specific match points per category would be nice as well.
Never loads
I would love for this to work but the updates never load. I can never tell what is going on
3d touch
Needs some 3d touch to get to favorite teams and events faster
One problem
Needs a district and national rankings tab
Could go more in depth.
This is a great app. Keeps me on track during matches. The only concerns I have is that it does not update quickly after qualifying matches, and I wish it would go more in depth. It would be nice to know the categories points are scored in, like autonomous, scaling, etc like FIRST shows after every match.

good but not perfect
I downloaded this while my son’s team was halfway across the state at their first (ha ha, pun not intended) event of the season. It was really useful in terms of following the team through the qualification rounds, especially once I figured out some of the features available (but hidden) on the Event page.
However, they’ve moved on to the Elimination round and the app hasn’t updated anything! Isn’t showing alliances or schedule or anything else. I am able to find it at the blue alliance web site, so clearly the information is available.
Also, there are a few places where the interface is not intuitive and/or takes extra steps to achieve my goal. For example, I tap on a favorite team and it shows me the event. Then i tap on the event title, hoping it will show me the team’s results for that event - but no, it takes me to a numerical listing of all teams in the event and i have to tap again. Stuff like that is frustrating.

Absolutely the greatest app to have during competition for every FRC team. I'd be lost without it
Great app! Possible suggestion?
I love the app! Great to keep track at regionals. I would suggest possible offseason event support? Events like CORI and IRI and any others you catch wind of. I think it would be pretty useful. Watching IRI right now and having to wait to see where my team or others are ranked is quite a hassle.
Frustrating
While at times I like the FRC Spyder ap, other times I hate it.
The ap fails miserably and won't update at all for the world championship

Horrible now
What happened??? Just doesn't work right anymore; used to be great. BIG disappointment
Helpful but Very Buggy
The Spyder app is super helpful in tracking my team and our scores. However sometimes the stats don't display all the time. Also the notifications are broken so please fix these bugs for a future update. Thanks

This app is low key but great for match lists
