USA Swimming for Android

Shame on USA Swimming for rolling out an ill conceived app that is based on disastrous underlying processes that fail on multiple levels. It’s easily the worst app I have ever attempted to use. More importantly, it’s not just the app that’s bad - it’s the underlying, poorly developed USA Swimming processes around registration and completing mandatory training courses that do not work properly. They are almost as difficult to complete when bypassing the app and accessing them directly on the website. The only thing that works properly and expediently is USA Swimming’s collection of our money. The amount of valuable parent and athlete time that USA Swimming’s embarrassingly bad processes are creating has got to be colossal in totality and leads one to resent the organization as a whole.

USA swimming took a reasonably functional app, in Deck Pass, and replaced it with pure garbage. Stay away, stay far away… USA swimming deservers to have all their athletes switch to soccer… this is a terrible app that displays total disregard for its users/members. How this ever got past a beta is shocking. Someone at USA swimming must have tried to use it, but what on earth were they thinking?

Can’t even search for my swimmer’s times.

The app has been out for some time now with no better functionality. “And more”?.. Cannot access swims database, which as some have spoken to is one of the two biggest reasons a coach really has this app on their phone. Time standards does not have its own button on the home page, let alone the latest Olympic Trials standards. Tried to link it to my current profile & certifications only for it to autogenerate a new ID number and profile. I honestly don’t understand how this can be so bad.

The app is a complete waste of time and is less transparent than the previous application that was part of on deck! I would give it negative stars if that was an option.
