OnDeck

Please bring back the old version!!!

The s1ammer

Very few of the Time Standards we use are available now. In addition, the ones that are available do not appear to be accurate in the "Best Times" mode. Ugh! Not helpful at all.

Bring back the old app

JerzyBeacMom

With every update the app gets worse. It's basically useless now. Would be a good time for a competitor to come up with a new useful app for swim parents.

Crashes often and not responsive

Torem13

The time standards were hard to get. The app crashes when looking a my kids best times. Trying to reload it now. Hope they update it soon to fix bugs.

Can't open

Crashes. That's all this does. I haven't been able to take attendance in over a month now.

They are activly working on the app and resolving problems. I've had several problems that I reported get fixed. To the other reviewer, not sure how someone could come in and interface to the TeamUnify back-end. Maybe specific issues listed in the review or a report to support would help?

Fixed the crashes? NOT

ToniBlue1

The last update promised to fix crashes. Can't access meet results, cause it crashes EVERY time... be a great app if it actually worked.

Touch-ID doesn't always work

dbnut

While touch-ID works when entering password, after that, it should always remember it. This is the only app I know of that forgets the password in spite of having touch-ID enabled. Please fix this functionality.

Good attempt, but lots of work ahead

This version is has a nice look but has a lot of issues. Touch ID doesn't work much of the time, time standards previously selected (over and over again) get reset, non-intuitive maze to find simple things like upcoming meet entries for your children it teammates, the ability to see how close your children or teammates are from state times or other milestones...I find myself opening up the old version of the app and longing. Too bad the developers rolled this out before it was in better shape. I would pay for a better app...glad this wasn't much :-)

New vs old

Thvedt

I'm writing this from a parent's perspective. I imagine a coach would have a different view. The new app looks much better than the old, and acts much more like a modern iOS app. Neither old nor new versions make finding things easy. There are a *lot* of features, and it usually takes me a while to find what I'm looking for. Combining parent & coach apps seemed like a reasonable idea, until I saw all of the coach features cluttering up the screen. One feature I used a lot is either missing in the new app, or else is well-hidden: keying in the heat and lane assignments for events. I'd much rather have that info on my phone than carry around a paper meet program. The new app is slower than the old. It seems to load every page on-the-fly from the cloud, which is sluggish. On the meet entries display, 3-digit event numbers are truncated, which is a pretty severe problem. Touch ID is buggy - it often requires password entry, which kind of misses the point of Touch ID. The app really needed a refresh, but this version is a swing and a miss.

Why are my time standards gone again?!

I have tried to like this new version of On Deck. It certainly looks prettier than On Deck Parent did and sometimes it makes better use of the screen. But other than that its all negatives. Its less intuitive, much harder to use and generally seems to fail at serving two masters (Coaches and Parents). But what really irks me are the time standards disappear with every new version and sometimes at other random times. I have to reset them over and over and over. If this weren't the ONLY app that lets me access my daughters swim team information I would have deleted it for good months ago. Seriously, get the time standards issue fixed - it worked in the previous version! I'm using 4.0.17 on an iPad2 now and its gotten worse - I can't even see any National time standards (like those from USA Swimming) - I can only see the ones my LSC set up. Useful...
