This review highlights a user’s long-term experience with a Song Trivia application, pinpointing areas for improvement within the app’s badge system and user interface. While expressing a deep appreciation for the app and its engaging nature since its initial release, the user brings to light persistent frustrations that impact the overall enjoyment. The core concerns revolve around progress resetting for badges and cumbersome navigation within the badge page, both of which detract from an otherwise positive song trivia gaming experience.
One of the primary issues raised is the counterintuitive resetting of progress on song lists. Specifically, when older song lists, near mastery or already mastered, become eligible for new badges, the app inexplicably resets user progress. This action effectively nullifies the time and effort players have invested in mastering these lists, leading to considerable frustration. The user argues that players who have already mastered a song list should automatically receive the corresponding badge upon its introduction, rather than being forced to replay and reset their hard-earned progress. The suggestion is to make resetting an optional feature, allowing players to replay lists voluntarily, rather than making it a mandatory step for badge acquisition.
Adding to the user experience challenges is the navigation of the badge page. The current design presents all badges, including a substantial number of achievement badges, on a single, lengthy screen. This layout becomes particularly problematic when users attempt to check progress within specific genres. Each time a user navigates back to the main badge screen from a genre category, the page frustratingly defaults back to the top. This forces users to repeatedly scroll through a long list of achievement badges – reportedly seventy in number – to reach other badge categories. The user proposes a more streamlined solution: separating achievement badges onto a distinct tab. This segregation would significantly improve navigation and reduce the repetitive scrolling, making the badge page more user-friendly and efficient to use within this song trivia platform.
In response to this detailed feedback, the developer provided a concise and appreciative reply. The acknowledgment expresses gratitude for the user’s review and their valuable suggestions. While brief, this developer response indicates an openness to user feedback, suggesting potential future consideration of these points in updates to enhance the song trivia app.
