So I get an email from Dick’s telling me I’ll get $5 credit in my “Scorecard” account if I download their app. You’d think that since they are promoting the app, it would be useful. It’s not. It’s designed by someone who apparently has never actually used an app. I’m constantly having to re-log in. Once you login to your account, you are at a page that says “welcome back,” and provided order status, personal information, account features and email preferences. There’s also a “My Account” button. Guess what? If you hit “my account,” it logs you out and takes you back to the log-in screen. Normally, if you hit “back,” you’d think it would also take you back to the login screen, but it takes you to the main screen. In addition, there are separate logins for the Dick’s web account and their Scorecard program. Not normally a problem when using the website, but it’s unclear with this app what you are selecting, and you keep getting prompted to login…again. There’s other completely useless stuff that shouldn’t be on a mobile app. If you select the list of contents screen, they’ve got “sports matter,” without any description. Select it, and you’re prompted to donate money. Come on, I don’t need that in a mobile app. Select “my offers” and I’m informed that there are no offers and to check back. Yeah, I’ll keep doing that. “Move” is some sort of activity tracking app…like there aren’t enough of those out there. It’s like they got a bunch of marketing clowns in a room and drew up a list of neato-app ideas on a white board, and then outsourced the development to India.
