Topps® WWE SLAM: Card Trader Reviews

Fun, but frustrating at times.

V. Stark

Reviewing for version 9.0.17. The new update just went live, and it’s prompted me to leave a review. Cons: 1. The new graphics such as on the home screen are nice, but I made mention in a comment on the app that the minimalism of the previous versions was one of the things I appreciated most about this app, especially because it was kind to my battery. Now there’s a lot of unnecessary transition screens and flashing lights; it means I have to spend extra time waiting for the screen to transition through to the next menu. This is, to be honest, quite frustrating. With the old versions I could have switched between three or four screens in the time it takes the transitions to load, and the flashing image isn’t easy on the eyes (or the battery). And since I usually use the app when I’m limited on time, it means I end up spending less time on the app, both through less navigation (because it takes more time) and because I’m frustrated waiting, so I don’t WANT to spend more time on the app. An option to disable these transition screens and/or flashing lights would be most appreciated. 2. The achievements/collections are still bugged. I’ve completed several open edition sets and they’re still sitting in the “close to completing” section rather than actually rewarding me for completing the collection. 3. A lot of menu options are now hidden away in places that don’t always seem the most obvious (though this might just be something I have to acclimate to). I imagine that I’ll get used to the new positions of all the different pages, but in the meantime I’ll keep clicking on the trade button expecting my page instead. It also seems like some links are designed for users on devices with extra large screens; I thankfully have narrow fingers to click on tiny links next to each other, but I imagine it might be causing some users some frustration on smaller screens. 4. Some of the text boxes (like the ones for comments on an article) keep freezing and won’t let me back in to edit the text once I’ve closed the keyboard, which means I have to close the box and retype the comment. Pros: 1. The favorites card selection. I usually just used the locking tool to show off my favorite, but displaying favorite cards on my page does give it a unique feel, like a happy wallpaper every time I open that page. Sometimes I forget I have some really awesome cards, so this helps remind me why I’m playing the game. 2. The color scheme is also well done. Some apps and websites have no sense of color design, but this one has a variety of darker colors that don’t burn my eyes. 3. No ads. This game is one of the very few I play that actually doesn’t have ads, and best of all, there’s no pop-up ads. Another game I play recently implemented this, and it’s frustrating to have an ad suddenly show up in the middle of the game, and typically, it forces you to click the ad because you were about to click something else in the game. This game has no ads, likely because a large amount of pay-to-buy content (though there’s a good amount of cards that can be obtained with in-game currency as well). If that’s how we avoid ads, I’m okay with that. 4. Wide selection of cards. There’s a plethora of cards to collect in the game, and while a lot of them are pay-to-buy, if you’re clever with how you build up your card collection, you can usually trade for some of them. There is a certain bias in which superstars have cards put out, but considering that there’s likely a bigger fan base for the main event stars, it makes sense to put out more cards of those stars. Overall: My main thing is that I’m frustrated with the updates; it seems like case of fixing what isn’t broken (and I’ve seen websites collapse/become abandoned because of things like this). I’m not going to abandon the app at the moment because it has been one of my most-used apps for a while now, and I love collecting cards of my favorite WWE stars, but we’ll see what the future holds. If you’re a fan, I’d still recommend the app; it’s still good, harmless fun, despite my complaining. If you’re a developer, thank you for taking time to look over my thoughts on the app.

New Layout Is Frustrating

DJpenguin700

Since the new update has come out I’ve barely been able to play. The new layout is so confusing and complicated it’s made it so hard to use. If anyone knows how I may be able switch it to the old simpler and smart layout if that is a thing please let me know.

No longer working on iPad

The Muta

Ever since the new update, it stopped working on iPad. Such a waste. Don’t fix something that isn’t broke next time.

Constant crashes and loading screens

lake316

The newest update has killed the app. About 50% of the time the app just freezes on a loading screen. It’s just unstable and has an amazingly slow server response. Nothing else in my phone freezes or crashes as much as this app. When it works it’s great. But that’s only about half the time. I actually find myself using it less and less since the update. If you’re not on WiFi, don’t even bother opening it. It’ll never load. I don’t know why they broke it so bad. It used to be a fun, simple card trading app. Now it’s all kinds of unnecessary stuff that just slows it down and kills your battery.

I like it but

Kaleltheking

Ever since the layout changed, I can barely find the cards I need to trade for. All of my cards don’t even show up when I scroll though my list. Needs to be fixed.

App Doesn’t Work

Nm047

I’ve been playing this game since the very day it came out. Originally, I loved the game and had a lot of fun playing it. However, after recently deleting the app and redownloading it in order to save storage space, I cannot sign back into my account. I have changed my password multiple times and have sent numerous emails that haven’t been responded to in days. The app has gone from a fun card collector where you can trade with friends to an obvious money grab. Also, despite my difficulties signing into the app I STILL GET EMAILS ADVERTISING THEIR APPS AND PRODUCTS. The customer service is a COMPLETE JOKE. I wouldn’t recommend getting ANY app by this developer unless you like being screwed over. The only reason I want my account back is due to the countless hours spent on it as well as real life money (which in retrospect was a bad idea). Don’t waste your time!

This is AMAZING!!!

I started doing this a couple of years ago and I LOVE it! It has tons of cards to collect and lots of games to play

7,000,000 coins

BennyBlanks

I’ve got over 7,000,000 coins and no store. Topps tried to “assist” in getting my store back. I deleted app, reinstalled app, restarted my phone, 3 months later......no store still. Sooooooo......1 star.

Incorrect Odds

BuddyRose5

Odds of packs are extremely incorrect. No one plays this game, no one trades, don’t download or delete if you have! 1 Star!

Was good turned bad

Cruiz47

The game was fine until diamonds were introduced now almost half the store is full of only diamonds packs which you have to buy, when there was no diamonds in the game there was still a chance if slim one to grab a card now they offer full diamonds packs of cards only and don’t any give us free players a chance to get those cards with coins.
