ArbiterMobile for Negative User Reviews

Needs notificationsThe app doesn't even notify me.Version: 1.2.0

Can’t get back to basic schedule viewWhen it works, it is decent. But I clicked a notification and it took me into some kind of filtered view - and now I can’t see the schedule at all. Even killing the app does nothing. For $12 I’d hope to at least be able to see the schedule..Version: 3.6.2

Fix authentication!PLEASE fix the app so we do not need to enter the password multiple times a day. Sessions in an app like this should not time out after a few hours!.Version: 3.8.0

NEEDS FIXED!!This app is terrible. It constantly logs me out, and is telling me that my password is incorrect when I know for a fact it’s not. I did not pay $10 for this to not work ever. It’s ridiculous.Version: 3.8.0

Schedule not appearingFor the past 2 days the schedule is not showing any games. I have to go into the website to view all of my upcoming games. Please fix..Version: 3.8.0

What are they thinking?$10 for the app? Really? Why would anyone charge for a mobile app that improves and extends the quality of its service offering? Aren't referees and game officials almost by definition mobile? Wouldn't the organizations this company caters to want their game officials on time, in the right locations, and notified of anti last minute changes? After reading the reviews, I didn't want to pay for something with such poor customer feedback. Maybe if Arbiter gave this software away and had a larger mass of users, they would have incentive to build a better solution. Clearly eVite, Facebook, TeamSnap, Google, Pandora and a host of progressive clearly have a different approach..Version: 1.0.26

AwfulIncorrect game times. App freezing and kicking me out. Unable to see assigned games. Blocks disappearing despite never being removed. This app needs some serious work. Not to mention the constant shutdowns in order to “fix” the many issues although they never seem to change. Now, I’ve been signed out of the app without doing so manually, and my sign in fails every time. I know I’m putting in the correct information because when I sign in on the website it works fine. I can’t even reset the password by sending it to my email. This is a major problem and has caused many issues for my boss, me, and my many co-workers..Version: 3.8.0

Getting closerApp functionality is getting better, once you are logged in. Login process needs some overhaul. TouchID and loading saved passwords are in need of attention. Not as user friendly or efficient as other apps. It is frustrating as a user if you don't know how this particular app behaves or is different from the vast majority of applications. As a resource. It's a good tool. Just need some Operational cleanup.Version: 3.8.0

Loves making me sign inDude, WHY must I constantly sign in? "Your session has expired, please enter your entire email and password again because if someone stole and broke into your phone Arbiter is your biggest worry." No other app is this ridiculous, even my bank app holds my email. Don't blame my phone, it's not the phone. Otherwise the app is pretty good..Version: 3.6.2

Extremely DisappointingThe app is basically useless. List of grievances: -Can't see which officials have been assigned to work with me. -Doesn't show the name of the ballpark I'm scheduled to work at. It only shows the town and the postal code (for one park it showed the full address, but only for the one). -I can see notes for games but I can't add or edit any notes. -Can't edit my own profile through the app. -Can't edit or even see my blocked dates and times. -No function to sync my schedule to phone calendar. -No function to send me push notifications and disable email notifications for new assignments and game reminders. Bugs: -Directory usually doesn't load at all and is extremely slow if it does. -Calendar view won't load. Just shows blank screen and then goes back to list view. (iPhone 5S, iOS 9.2) If I had paid the subscription fee, I'd be angry and requesting a refund. As it is, I think my association wasted a ton of money paying for all their officials to use the app. The money could have been put to much better use, so I'm still angry about that..Version: 1.0.24

This app is terribleWorst app of all time. I work in IT and have had my fair share of bad apps. But this one is down right unusable. It has not been updated in 2 years that is unacceptable. Blocking off dates is broken. Takes 6 or 7 tries before it actually saves the block..Version: 3.8.0

Still barely useful.App is FAR too slow. Takes several minutes to update schedule. No access to team contact information. Still need to try to use web page if you need to reach the coach at last minute. Come to think of it, the Arbiter as a whole is a piece of crap. They definitely do not think much of their officials’ personal information. Too bad they have too many state organizations and local assignors fooled..Version: 3.8.0

GarbageDoesn't do anything waste of time and money. The entire arbiter company is trash.Version: 1.2.0

Don’t get itThey ask you to pay 12$ to log into the app with your account. It’s ridiculous. Just go in the website for free.Version: 3.6.2

Hardly even attempting an effortWell this would normally be considered a valuable app. The updates do nothing but break the app further. The sign in is now impossible to do with just one thumbprint… What were you thinking? What would make the app valuable is a space to mark when you’ve been paid for a high school game for personal use rather than what seems to have been applied for Assignor’s.Version: 3.6.5

$$Works ok but not worth paying $11.99 each year. I thought it was a one time subscription, guess not..Version: 3.5.2

Awful Platform/LayoutFor $8.99, this is a joke. I feel like I’m being swindled out of money for it. The web browser is free and when we pay out of pocket for everything else as officials, this kind of service should remain free or a one-time (not annual) fee, to help us out with our costs to work these games, pay the state and pay our assignors. Aesthetically this looks like it was thrown together in 3 hours. No thought in maneuverability or care into user friendliness. This needs a MAJOR overhaul by someone with some design and software experience..Version: 3.6.2

P.O.S.This is probably the worst app that I have to have on my phone. It never remembers my passwords and constantly logs me out. It’s amazingly slow for how simple the app is. If I do need to send a password recovery request I have to go to the website. I don’t know why I have the app if everything I need to do I can only do on the website. Overall it’s just garbage. Fix your app arbiter.Version: 3.8.0

Would give it a -5 starsHad trouble with this on the computer. Sometimes it let's me log into my account and sometimes not. Useless piece of trash..Version: 3.2.0

Micro transactions that makes EA look generousPay wall up front that requires a subscription... for something I use on the internet. I know that allowing mobile for free would probably help assignees get there games out faster and get quicker responses if it was free. You can simply just put a banner ad from Google admob and make enough money to make this free, then allow a purchase to remove them. The lack of planning on monetization is showing here..Version: 3.6.5

HorribleThe app performs horribly. If it did what it was supposed to do on a consistent basis it would be super-helpful. I’m very glad I only used a gift card to pay for it and not my actual money. It crashes regularly. Sometimes it shows zero assignments or blocks on the app despite having previously shown lots of assignments or blocks. The in app messaging/email system is a joke. It shows unread messages for days despite having looked at the messages. The only thing I’m happy about with the app is the iCal function which automatically imports game assignments from Arbiter to the calendar on your phone. Not worth the money. I would suggest charging schools/associations 10 cents more and earn enough to redo the app and make it free for all users..Version: 3.6.5

Fine but needs improvements.Gets the job done but I don’t like how the push notifications don’t work all the time. I also don’t like how annoying it is when it logs out and the face id fill in doesn’t work. Please make the app kore user friendly..Version: 3.7.0

Double charged-no response from inquiringWas double-charged when downloading the app, and 2 attempts to contact Arbiter for a refund went unanswered- have no patience for poor customer service:(.Version: 3.7.0

EXPENSIVE!Great idea! I have been looking for something mobile from Arbiter for a while. I'm very techy so this is great. However, there are many issues. I downloaded the app under the impression that it was free. After the download I was lead to another screen telling me to pay $9.99 for use! After thinking about it for a while I decided to download the paid version, but you do not get what you pay for. I think that there should be an area showing who your partners are and a link for their contact information. I think that you should also be able to access maps directly from the app so that you can navigate to whatever school or stadium address is listed. You should be able to see what location you are going to (i.e 'Madison High School'). All the important things that you have access to online, that are vital to your game assignments and you getting there, should be readily available on the app. You simply cannot ask someone to pay such a large amount of money for so little. Again it's a great idea, but too glitchy and not worth the buy. Hoping that with updates it will drastically improve (seeing as how I've already spent my money)..Version: 1.0.24

NEEDS Updates!!PLZ FIX!! As of mid October 2019 the app crashes EVERY TIME I try to enter blocks or accept/decline games. **The app worked well prior to this issue..Version: 3.7.0

Pending actual functionalityDownloaded app, signed in, games don't appear in schedule, and calendar screen won't load the next month. **sigh** I guess I'm stuck with website version until further notice..Version: 1.0.26

Not paying 14$$Hah not a chance. Let's you download it, then try to log in , then tell you your not a subscriber and demands 14 bones.. Il just use my computer thanks.Version: 1.2.0

Identity BreachAside from all the bugs and issues with the app, Arbiter Sports was responsible for a massive data breach recently where personal information, including SSN, was exposed. They offered nothing more than what was required by law. This company manages to be a middle-man to local sports while giving up your data..Version: 3.8.0

Can not loginWhen first downloaded the app it was AMAZING! Now I can not login due to trouble shooting issues.Version: 3.7.0

Nightmare to use and filled with bugsIt’s impossible to use for anything other than the basic task of looking at what games you’ve got scheduled, but it takes 8 tries to accept games and is overall a horrible app. For a profession full of middle age+ guys, having an app be this hard to use is a horrible plan..Version: 3.8.0

Crashes!!!App is not worth the money if you have to continuously delete, and reload the app. I’ll be looking at my schedule on the app, then suddenly, everything disappears!!! Once the app is deleted and reloaded, everything’s there!! I shouldn’t have to do that!! I’m about to reload the app for the second time. I do like the iCal feature that exports my schedule to my calendar, hence the 2 stars!!!.Version: 3.6.5

Not UsefulHow can the people building this application put this out with the obvious lack of usability? Blocks don’t show up on the Calendar until you change a view (like go forward a month and then back)? Why is it so cumbersome to remove a block? I have 2 different accounts and the app can’t keep the state (which account I’m logged into) correct. Eventually it catches up. Now all me games and blocks are just gone. None. How the heck could anyone rely on this app? It’s really scary that others can work with the limitations of this app. Who is the team that actually produces this app?.Version: 3.8.0

WTFWhy would you let people download this app for free when you can't sign sign in without paying $12. Dumb.Version: 3.4.0

I never signed upThis app is horrible. I’m a football referee and never signed up for this app. I’m not sure how it happened but someone was able to sign me up without my knowledge and accept games. I had to download the app just to contact the athletic directors that I wouldn’t be at their games..Version: 3.7.0

GarbageExpensive as f. And from all the reviews we know it doesn't worth a dollar..Version: 1.2.0

Used to be good. Now I can’t loginUsed to work. But now is says session expired and I can’t login. Worthless app now..Version: 3.8.0

Too GreedyArbiter already charges thousands per year (depending on how big your group size is) and they can’t offer ArbiterMobile included with this? Guess I’ll continue to use the full version that logs you out every time you go back to that tab and has 4 page refreshes to go through before you get to your schedule tab. I always tell people how much better arbiter is compared to RAMP, maybe it’s time to rethink my choice..Version: 3.6.5

What Happened?I have been using Arbiter mobile for almost a year. Finding it convenient and worth the expense. But just like another review, my calendar is suddenly gone. With the basketball season coming up and 13 games already assigned, I am so disappointed. I am now working through free online service off my computer. Games have been uploaded to my iCalendar, linked through my iCloud to my iPhone iCalendar. To note I have been able to accept games on my mobile device and then the game disappears. The is nothing on my ArbiterMobile App calendar since late last week. What the heck..Version: 3.6.2

Useless appThis app is garbage, doesn't have an option in settings to send email or text when a game is assigned. The only thing it does is sync assignments to your calendar. Don't bother downloading, waste of money..Version: 1.0.30

Horrible - please talk your association out of using arbiterThere should be a zero or negative star option! This app is terrible. Why does it log me out over and over and over again? Stop logging me out!.Version: 3.8.0

ScamDon't pay 11.99$ for it. It's a waste, you can just go on the desktop version on you phone. Kinda sad that they took down the mobile site to "focus our efforts on the app". Ridiculous that it's cost so much to subscribe. Stick with the desktop version.Version: 3.6.2

CrashingThis app always seems to crash… (service error ) time and time again..Version: 3.8.0

App doesn’t workI’m having difficulties viewing my schedule. One moment it there, next time I log in, it disappears. I’ve had to delete app and download over again. So frustrating..Version: 3.7.0

Completely uselessI’ve downloaded this three different times with no success. Changed my password on the main page, still unable to login. The “help” button asks me to check my email and password... 🙄.Version: 3.8.0

Would love for notifications to work.The app itself works fine if you can’t get to a desktop. However, in app it says “if you force close the app, notifications will not work till you restart it.” Well, I don’t want to run the app all the time. That’s pretty inconvenient and poorly designed, especially in season where last second assignments do get posted..Version: 3.8.0

Unable to sign onI can easily sign in from my computer but not on the mobile app..Version: 3.8.0

Don't botherWe downloaded the app and paid for the in app subscription but when we tried to sign in it said we still needed to pay for the subscription ... Apple thankfully refunded our money..Version: 1.2.0

Can’t log inI can’t even get in the app, I put in my log in info and it just loads for forever and tells me that there’s an error. The troubleshoot part tells you to check your password..Version: 3.8.0

BrokenGarbage. Once app is opened it only spins and never loads information. Have screenshot video if developers would like to see. Extremely frustrating. Miss the days of Zebra-Ware. A platform that actually worked!.Version: 3.7.0

HorribleJust a pure waste, the fact they took down their mobile site to make this the only mobile source is disgusting!.Version: 3.6.5

Why do I have to hit the green check mark 20 times for it to registerThe app freezes up and when I go to accept a game I have to select the green check mark multiple times before it registers. I have tried selecting it once for accepting and once when the contract comes up but it never registers. It should take just a few seconds to accept games but has taken up to 5 minutes. How hard is that to correct. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled and have upgraded phones with same issue. This has been going on for at least 3 years. What’s the point if I have to find a computer to accept games?.Version: 3.8.0

Very buggy$10 for an app that doesn’t work and is very buggy. Game schedules disappear, even when I know I have a game. It will send you multiple notifications on one thing and when you click on that notification, it takes you nowhere but a blank screen. The idea is great and this would be an extremely helpful app if it actually worked. In the current state it’s not worth if even if it was free, but $10 for the thing is absolute highway robbery.Version: 3.6.5

Association SupervisorTerrible app on iPad. No support. According to you all names are taken, because this is negative!!.Version: 3.7.0

Needs so much workThe app is terrible. It constantly logs you out and logging back in with Face ID isn’t an option. It makes you renter everything every time..Version: 3.8.0

Waste of MoneyI have used the previous version and had no problems. In fact I went to open up my mobile app and the previous version and it made me pay and download an upgrade to this one. Now the other one is working. I feel like I’ve been swindled out of $8.99. The new version I cannot even figure out how to except the games. I have to go to the calendar trying to figure out which day is it that have not been excepted and go in and except it. The one thing that is good about this is that I could text the whole crew right out of the application. This new application needs a lot of help!.Version: 3.6.2

Good idea, but needs refinementFor people that are complaining that you have to purchase something, that is true, but in order to have the mobile friendly version of arbiter outside of the app you have to purchase it anyways. It's $18 for 3 years I think. That's like a third of a game fee, if that. There needs to be a section in the games schedule where you see who your partners are and have that clickable so that you can contact them directly from there. Glitchy when moving from menu to menu sometimes. Needs to have back button navigation on all the screens as well. Good start to the app and needs to be updated with some changes, but I think it will get to the point where it will function well..Version: 1.0.24

Awful. Terrible. Embarrassing.First of all, you can't change your password if you've forgotten it without talking to an administrator. Which is app development 101, so whoever built this, be ashamed of yourself. Second, it's $12 to use? Yeah that's not happening when you apparently paid a 12 year old $20 to build the app for you. Even if this cost $1 I wouldn't pay for it. Terrible, terrible app..Version: 3.4.0

Not worth the priceThis is unfortunate, the app is semi convenient but with the continuous bugs and errors that occur, makes it hard to give it more than one Star. This app needs to be handed over to a company that can make it run smoothly and have it be reliable. It will crash and have me re login every day. One day I got continuous notifications that my assignor was sending out emails to our group but it was the same email from 7:00am. It was a bit annoying since I am in meetings through the day and my watch and phone vibrate the notification from the app. This app should be free unless it offers a more reliable commutation to our organization. Not worth the $8.99 I paid. Please correct and add features to make it more convenient..Version: 3.5.1
