I want to start by saying that I really do appreciate the effort that the developers have gone through. I work in the (IT\software dev) industry myself and I know this must have been a huge project. I really like Matchbook - hassle free, friendly staff, no issues with payments and GREAT lines.
This is my problem too. I would say I lock in 80% of my wagers on my phone, and the Matchbook app needs A LOT of work.
1) I wish it would save my credentials. It's annoying having to type them in every time and ultimately will lead to people choosing weaker passwords.
2) There is no reason it needs access to GPS at all times. This isn't preventing anybody from placing wagers from the USA. It also forces me to leave GPS on at all times which can cause issues if for some reason a location can't be obtained.
3) What is going on with the colour scheme? light blue on grey is not easy on the eyes.
Now I realize you are looking for feedback on the new site. Quite honestly, it is extremely mobile unfriendly, but the intention seems to be for everybody to use the app on mobile.... which also needs work. Pretty much anyone who wishes to lock in wagers on their phone has been done a disservice.
Feedback on the new site:
1) Performance is worse compared to the old site (even on desktop). Loading times are longer. I realize it is more complex and has high-res images but this is pretty unnecessary. Performance > *
2) The back\lay system should just automatically be set to binary for sports with two outcomes. I realize you can change this in settings for all sports, but what if I want to keep it like this for soccer and use the binary system for MLB?
3) The ability to lock in multiple bets at a time is nice.
4) WHERE DO YOU MAKE A WITHDRAWAL? I do not see this under 'Account' ANYWHERE. Big negative - makes it feel sketchy but I know Matchbook is reputable and this must be an oversight.
5) Under 'display preferences' if I change the setting from back\lay to 'binary' and click 'update' it just says 'Error.' (my account name is r3coil - feel free to take a look if this is specific to me).
6) I want you to take a look at a few websites:
www.pinnaclesports.com , forum.sbrforum.com ,
www.facebook.com ,
www.sportsinteraction.com ,
classic.matchbook.com and now look at
www.matchbook.com . Notice how the first 5 sites have the content centered in the very middle with nothing on either side (it's 'centered')? Now look at the redesigned Matchbook. The content takes up the entire page. I'm on a 1920 * 1080 resolution monitor (which will more orless become the standard, definitely moving that way) and my first impression is that I don't know where to look. The website looks like it was built for a monitor with a 4:3 resolution and not the current widescreen monitors of today. You actually have to move your head from side to side to see all the content when you should ALWAYS ONLY have to move your eyes.
Edit:Pinning the Betslip actually corrects this issue quite a bit which is probably what you were going for. Definitely recommend that everybody does this.
I'll give more feedback here as I think of it. The efforts are appreciated but I really prefer the classic website and will be using it for as long as possible. The loading times were much faster and it was easily accessible on mobile.
