Aes Xpress App Reviews

This app is terrible. So many changes needed. Please update.

For volleyball families, we need this app to be functional. The most basic premise of an app like this should be to tag a team & tag tournaments. I can’t even get the green star to select on either version. If you swipe too far left or right, you start over. If you hit the wrong back button, you start over. If you add a filter in search such as a team or state, most times it doesn’t refresh. You guys have a real opportunity to build something functional and people will gladly pay for it. We spend > 7 months of our lives each year with volleyball and we all need a functional app. I have given up on it and use the web version. It’s not a whole lot better but more functions work. If you invest the dev time on this app and make it functional, the more than 100,000 VB parents will not only pay, but will be very happy users. Don’t just port your site, build a real app.

Horrible user interface. Glitchy. Going back frequently makes me start over. Favorites don’t work or save. Interface makes absolutely no sense. Whoever writes the code for this (cr)app needs to go back to school. Elementary school to start. I hear from one of our team statisticians entering scores, etc is a horrible experience as well. I will do whatever I can to encourage tourney organizers to utilize a different app. This “app” almost makes me wish my daughter had chosen a different sport to be passionate about.

This is the worst sports app I have ever used. Not user friendly at all. It has major lags. Please consider updating to keep teams and tournaments so you do not have to go through the whole set up each time.

Worst app ever. Do you have a 0 star I can tap?

This app is worthless. It was bad in 2018, but in 2019, there are glitches and bugs galore. I’m not able to favorite a team, see more than a a handful of teams in the power rankings, and it periodically crashes if it loads anything at all. AES events is valuable, but I have to use the desktop version only.

Having used this app now for several months I have so many ideas for how to make this better, as a parent. Other parents all agree, BTW! Please: 1. Let me lock into my team. Searching for events and rankings, etc from the start each time is agonizing. 2. Why not let me have a GPS that can tell what event I’m at and default to that event? 3. Let me lock my schedule for my team in so I don’t have to see all the extraneous events. 4. Why are rankings seemingly based only off of win % versus some kind of weighted ranking? 5. Let me set preferences for what I see and don’t see, and “lock” those.

As soon as the app catches up with the web site and allows Favorites, so I can get the info about my player’s team quickly, this will be a good app. Until then, I recommend the web site.

This has to be the most user unfriendly app. Always have to start with the state search? Ugh. Just a pain to use.

Very poorly designed mobile app. Starting over at the beginning every time makes no sense. You can save favorites, so why can’t you retrieve that when opening the app? And the bracket view is dismal. Extremely difficult to follow.

App doesn’t seem to work at all, brackets are all jumbled, doesn’t save your favorite team, and many more issues.

Very buggy and slow. No options to save preferences. Really bad user interface. Can’t zoom in or out on bracket screens. No options to send feedback to the developer. This just Needs to be rewritten from scratch.

I have used this app for 4 years now to track certain club volleyball tournaments. It is terrible. Every time you open it, you have to go back to the entire list of tournaments across the country, then the club, then the team. While it is possible to denote a team as a favorite, it is not intuitive in the slightest. You pull up your team and you expect to hit the star to make it a favorite but then the app takes you to the beginning again. Every time I use this app, I spend 30 minutes trying to make it work. It is maddening!!

Don’t use this app if you expect things to work, or if you are easily frustrated. Crap, plan and simple. This app is poorly designed, seldom works as expected and yet, there is no alternative for my daughters club league so I’m stuck.

It’s completely unacceptable that people have been reviewing this app a 1 star rating for the exact same reasons every year for 8 straight years. DO SOMETHING!!! They tell us to download the app at the tournaments and the app is worthless!!! You are leaving yourselves wide open for a competitor to move in if you are okay with irritating thousands of parents every tournament for 8 straight years. Enough is enough!!!

This is probably the least user-friendly app I have ever installed. If all of the teams are listed and all of the rosters for those teams are listed, why can’t I just enter my player’s name and pull up the schedule from the main screen? It needs a complete re-work.

So many times I try to get in the App, it’s a blank screen. The APP is updated. I don’t understand why it doesn’t work. Very frustrating!

This app has the potential to be very helpful but because it never works it is awful. You can’t ever save your team as a favorite and if you it only works half the time. When you pick a state it only works sometimes so you have to scroll through every tournament. When you load your team it only works 1/4 of the time. Just awful!!!

I see there are one star reviews from over a year ago, and apparently the issues haven’t been fixed. The good: I can find tournaments. I can occasionally find our team. The bad: Everything else that has already been said about favorites, user experience, and performance. If not for the ability to find tournaments, this app would be completely worthless. Hopefully your club director or coach will send your team a link to the schedule.

The developers behind this should be ashamed. Lacks the basics of any modern app. This app is dumber than a box of rocks and you’ll do better to pound a sack of rocks than deal with this abomination of technology.

Cannot pick fav teams and search fields erase picked teams or options. Terrible!

This is the worst app ever! It seems like it should be so easy to make a functional app that could do what you would need to track tournament info, but they failed miserably. Can’t save favorites; can’t navigate without having to restart your entire search; slow to find what you need; won’t stay on the page you want if your phone closes; & doesn’t update info quickly. The app hasn’t changed or improved in 10 years. People have had the same complaints forever, but AES ha never addressed their concerns. I really wish tournament directors would stop using this terrible service, so we could let the app die away.

This is by far the worst app I am forced to use weekly! -will not favorite my team -when I try to go back one screen it takes you back to the beginning of the search - adds are in the way of use - no a-z option for search so you have to scroll through all teams - use of scoreboard is a quick drain of battery My advise is once your valued info is found take a screen shot and get out of the app!

It’s halfway through 2019, you would think that app development has advanced enough that we are not faced with such a poor app as this. My only hope is that events I participate in has aes posted on the internet so I don’t have to think of using this useless app!

Please update. It is frustrating when you have to select the state multiple times before it will work. Then again in selecting the team. Once you finally get to your team the favorite button doesn’t work. This app has always been cumbersome but I didn’t think it could actually get worse.

It takes the user out to the main screen when the user try to go back to the previous page. So we have to start the search all over again. This is just one of the bugs. Will remove the app once the season is over! Can’t believe Apple approved it!

The app has worked great in the past and now there are a ton of glitches. You can’t favor a team and have to keep reloading to look up anything on the app at all. Frustrating when you are trying to keep up with a tournament.

What happened? I have used this free app for the past 5/6 years. This is the start of another club Vball season and I can’t get the app to pull up information for my daughter’s team for this weekend’s tournament. I even deleted and reinstalled the app and still no luck. Will try a few more times. If no luck will delete.

SUPER FRUSTRATING!!! Keeps taking you back to home screen & you have to input ALL INFORMATION AGAIN! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse app! Does NOT work!!!

If i could give it a zero star I would. Wish there was a better option. It used to work great but hasn’t been updated in 8 months. Tournament directors should demand better!!! This is ridiculous.

Ok, this is my second year using this app for volleyball tournaments, and let me tell you, I am not the only one to find it frustrating to use. All the patents complain about it. What’s the point of being able to put a star next to your team if it doesn’t give you the option to go to your favourites straight away. And if you hit the back button!!!!! You go all the way back to the beginning! Please make this more user friendly.

I have not ever experienced an app that is this bad. Don’t waste your time.

I am a coach that uses this app all of the time. I am always taking stats on my iPad and utilizing my iPad, however this app really isn’t compatible. It would be really great to be able to look schedules up without having to switch between my phone and iPad all of the time.

This is the worst app I have ever downloaded. It seems as if they intentionally made it unintuitive and hard to find the tournament you are looking for. And once you find it, you have to go through the same &!@# process every 10 minutes to get back to it. Someone please build a better app and put them out of business!

In this day and age when technology is constantly evolving, why oh why am I still forced to use this awful app for two daughters for sex months? Why can I not favor a team for a whole season and pull up their tournaments? Why can I not favor a tournament for a weekend so that it comes up prominently after I first look at it during the time of the tournament? Why does the largest back button take you all the way back to schedules so that you have to search and research your tournament? There should be a sign in and then you should get to favorite your teams for the season so that it takes you to those teams, the schedules, the results all season long. This app blows.

Search function glitches. Setting up favorites dumps the app. App and website hangs up during use. Just go look at the bracket on the wall....

App is very limited. No back button available. No way that I can see how to get to traditional/full website. Constantly having to go in and out of app.

You have to enter the data every time that you try and look something up. Never populates once you do have all the information in. Need to think of a new design and how to pull information off the server so that the app will work!!

I’ve had an iPhone since the very first day it cam out. I have never even written a review for all those years until now. This could be the most frustrating and useless app I have ever used! It is so frustrating!

Does not have the most basic search function. You have to know the exact tournament to find a schedule. However, the tournament names don’t match. To look again you have to start from the beginning. A simple team name search function would fix this.

This really is the worst app I have ever used. First off if I favorite a team I should never have to search for anything again. Secondly the pool play you can understand but any type of bracket is impossible to read. Shame on the developers of this. I know it is free but come on!!!

While you can eventually find what you are looking for, the most annoying thing is not having easy access to your list of favorites. I should not have to spend 2 minutes searching for events just to get to the favorites.

This app has so many bugs I don’t know where to start. Unfortunately, if you are active in club volleyball, you pretty much have to use it because it’s the standard platform for nearly every tournament. The most frustrating aspect is that you can’t set a favorite team. You have to go through the filters EVERY TIME and half the time the menu does nothing when you enter something. If you manage to make it to your team rankings and you want to back up to their tournament schedule, good luck. The red back arrow only works half the time. This means you have to go all the way back to SCHEDULES to filter down to your team again...if that menu even works. Total garbage. But you pretty much have to use it.

What a poorly built app. Besides lack of basic features, it’s slow, cumbersome, and seems to break often.

I can't even explain how bad this is. Don't waste your time

I have used this app for four years. Suddenly, this season it is not working. I tried paying to upgrade thinking that would help, but the pro version is no different. (Faulty reasoning I know🙄.). Very frustrating! All parents are using the web version.

This app is annoying bc you constantly have to start at the beginning. Last year we could favorite a team and go right to it. This is the 1st tournament of the season & ours isn’t listed under the state (pa) so now I have to scroll through 50 tournaments then find each of my teams every time I look at it. C’mon update it to be more user friendly!
