Why doesn't the Android app have an easy way to see the results at other tables?

 

My friends who use iOS tell me that they have an additional blue button to see the other tables, but I don't have it:

I second this. I use those other table stats to learn; so, i am really missing thks feature on the new app.

On Android, I've found the following behaviour very annoying/frustrating:

 

The "app back" chevron (top left) acts as you would expect: it goes back within BBO. However, the "system back" button (on most phones bottom left) acts as a "exit" button for the app.

 

This is contrary to how most Android apps work, e.g. web browsers when the system back button is back in the browser. It is pretty natural for Android users to use the system back button and expect to stay within the app - there are two other system buttons to get out of an app, why include a third?

Introducing extra clicks for such a commonly-used feature seems a step backwards to me. The old app did not have his merry-go-round of clicks to see the other tables.

Actually it is the same number of clicks as before (or 1 click fewer if you used "Show Results" then "Show Details" to see other table results with the old version). Also in the new software there is much more you can do/see in terms of results without leaving the table-screen (especially for team matches and vugraph where you can see the other table results without leaving the table-screen).

 

But I agree there is something awkward about how the History area works. I am sure we will try to improve things in future updates. Thanks for your patience.

Agree with this. Seems like developer guidelines actually discourage to even create a back button within the app:

High and been using iPad for a while. Finally found "other tables" on my own.

 

I understand that app conception can be complicated but the " chat" button which opens a pop up which requires a second tap on that window to start the virtual keyboard is not very conducive for socializing or berating the hell out of your partner- haha just kidding. How about a first menu heading "chat to table" and open the keyboard directly? Remember that every chat requires a Guy Lombardo before we can type. Thanx

Great developments.

 

The one thing that winds me up, is the use of back button at the bottom right of my Samsung screen.

 

In most apps it works as a back button within the app, but if I use it in the BBO app it closes the app.

Can you make it work as a back button in the app, as I have a habit of using it within other apps

and accidentally closing the BBO app is annoying?
