Stupid app

Once again writing a review, my dot is gone. Idk why drill is messed up but my dot is gone from the selector, it is on the drill. This is genuinely broken.

Thank You

For my first year using it, it has been super helpful for marching band but I noticed that sometimes one of my movements won’t update at all and I’ve tried to redownload it. Other than that, it has been super helpful so kudos to the devs.

Great App… when it works

Using this app has been great for HS marching band, but it’s also been a tremendous headache with students and staff being logged out of the app with no way back in, performance issues, freezing, etc. the app is a huge step forward but I cannot recommend this app in its current state to anyone.

Help it doesn’t open or work or load

When I open the app it doesn’t work for me, I deleted it, I restarted my phone, i did everything it still doesn’t worked,the loading screen takes forever to load

This is serviceable but I miss UDBapp Pro

I’ve got some qualms with the UI, overall I feel like it’s a step down from what we had with UDBapp pro, I feel that much of the functionality doesn’t need to be hidden behind menus (specifically drill switching), and there have been several issues where drill won’t display correct spacing from sidelines which can mess some things up. I’ve also had issues with randomly being unassigned from my dot which is mildly inconvenient.

My review

So like honestly, I HOPE THAT U CREATORS SLEEP WELL EVERY NIGHT AND I HOPE ALL OF UR DREAMS COME TRUE. This is the most amazing app to ever exist. Saying this as a freshman btw. I have had no problem w counts of finding my dot or seeing what drill looks like all thanks to this app. So thank u very much.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

My most loyal subject,sloppytip123, loves talking about this app

I downloaded this app not realizing my most loyal subject,sloppytip123 downloaded it. He was crying over it. Tears of joy! It was a remarkable thing to see! But when I opened the app all the instructions were incorrect and I sobbed tears of sorrow 😔. I am very disappointed in the creation in this app. I wish everything was clearer to follow and still be enjoyable for sloppytip123. I must give it one star due to my tears of sorrow, everything being unclear, it needs WiFi, and the eye strain I he from looking at this for too long.
Fare-thee-well, Sloppytip123's king

The app is literally just not working (no joke)

I downloaded it thinking it would work, but when I open it, it was just on the blue loading screen and it was stuck there for like 10 minutes with no progress, tried using cellular, didn’t work, wifi doesn’t work, only changes screen on airplane mode and when I switch it back to wifi to log in, it doesn’t work and won’t let me login. So I’m just stuck.

ARC is horrible

While this app works better than beam, the original UDB was much better. How are you going to buy an app, make it worse, and then charge more for people to use it?

phenomenal

absolutely wonderful! this is my first season using the arc suite and i have had no problems with theme and geo beef tho)

Horrible

Forcefully logged me out and can’t get back in with every login I tried. Don’t use.

Response from developer

Hi ThatCriticalCritic! This has been corrected in the latest version of the app. Please make sure you're using the same login process (either email or SSO via Google) as you originally did as that's the error that most people encounter. If you have additional issues after trying this please reach out to us at support@joinarc.us and we'll be sure to get you up and running asap!

Justice for sloppytip123

Sloppy tip was my best friend until he was taken away from me after leaving a review on this app. Please bring my goat back. Yours truly- sloppytip123s bsf

Justice for SloppyTip123

After I heard about the Sloppytip123 insident, I was flabbergasted at the audacity of such a person to do such a thing. Sloppytip123 has only been nice and kind their whole like and here is someone dragging them down over nothing. I hope they one day willl see themselves in SloppyTip123s shoes and know what its like to be a SloppyTip. They say “Waiter! Waiter! My steak is too juicy! My lobster is too Buttery! But did SloppyTip123 complain? No. To have such pride to think you can do such a thing to the SloppyTip family is unheard of. They say, “We are Chasing Utopia! Rising Above the Noise! We’ve seen it In A New Light!” but clearly they havnt. I hope something can be learned here, and someone can give justice to SloppyTip123, for we are only At The Threshhold for the justice that should be givin.
Sincerly

Took a great app, made it horrible

As a marching band student for many years, I’ve used plenty of apps for drill. Until recently, I’d been using the regular UDB app (orange), and it was pretty good, easy to use. I can’t even begin to express my disappointment with this app. The count-circle mechanism is awful, and several basic features are locked behind paywalls. Instead of easily being able to see the notes and measures that go with the drill you’re watching, you have to change over 2 pages, which ruins any sort of learning continuity. The counts are not even really timed either the movement of dots either. A bunch of new, flashy, and useless settings doesn’t make up for the basic lack of functionality this app now holds. Thank you for making the season of several marching bands twice as difficult.

Update to my original review

I originally hated this new UDB, but after using it for a little longer, it’s not too bad. The UI is a lot different and was confusing at first but now I actually like it over the old UDB. Overall the Arc version of UDB is way better than the Arc version of Beam and I don’t mind it.

New UI feels like a modernized downgrade

The old app had much bigger buttons and was much more intuitive, on top of the field area being much bigger due to the lack of a giant useless circle. Half the time I accidentally hit the middle button instead of the dial to swipe thru pages. I miss the ability to set my own dot as a dot and everyone else as a letter and I find the new UI very clunky.

My personal experience

So far it’s been working very well for me with no glitches and helps me learn drill pretty quickly. I am saying this as a freshman with not expierence with drill but this has definitely been a big helper in learning drill. But I am also a visual learner so this definitely helps a lot.

Good app but bug fixes needed

So I have the app and for the most part it works completely fine but as of right now my app won’t load in and it’s stuck in the loading screen

It’s not bad..

It’s not as great as the old UDB but it’s fine, the recent updates have pretty well fixed any app-ruining bugs but it still remains inferior to the old UDB.

The show all and open all features don’t work for me, Field notes are hard to draw when laggy, the layout is kinds confusing, and the app feels laggier.

Overall it’s not bad. But it could be better.
