Great concept, terrible execution and app – Panini Soccer App Review

Oh lord. Where to begin. It’s fun to collect player cards as another way to familiarize yourself with players, but cmon, this app is ridiculous. My biggest pet peeve is lack of design and thought in many areas of the app. For example, I have 6 Jamie Vardys, and zero of several other England players. When I go to set up a trade, it makes you scroll through the whole list of players in the World Cup, ALL OF THEM, LIKE 500, and doesn’t exactly explain how they’re organized. WHAT? Just add a filter setting to be able to search by team! It’s so dumb. Also lame: There are 7 tiers of cards of each, what? I just want to collect all players on one level. There’s a Pokémon style card hunting mode, what? Fine, it’s for the kids. Pack battles - uh, this could be cool, instead it’s hastily thrown together and not thought out. Stadium Battle?? What? Even the interface & the doors slamming shut every time you go to another part of the app is irritating. Overall the app experience is super lame. I wish I’d just bought the physical album and actual stickers.
