BANDAI TCG ＋ Hack 1.40 + Redeem Codes

As someone who has never really been interested in Bandai’s products and who is just attempting to sign up with a friend to play this new Battle Spirits Saga game, this experience with this particular app can only be described as abysmally frustrating. The app is ancient in appearance and functionality and looks like it belongs in the early 2000’s and functions about as well as Windows Vista (never forget, never forgive).

The fact that this absolute JOKE of an app is a REQUIREMENT to join in a tournament is a testament to the long term effects of radiation. How can such a longtime company in the trading card game business release such a pitiful excuse for an app and actually expect people to have the patience to download and redownload this in order to play in a game shop with a friend is asinine.

A little side message to any Bandai Reps reading:

People are already overpaying you copious amounts of money to participate in your games (because despite 25+ years in this business, you have het to figure out how supply and demand works, apparently). If you want to continue to enjoy the fruits of your (evidently poorly attempted) labors, you should think log and hard about updating this ancient, minimalist trash of an app and seriously consider studying up on logistics chains. There are plenty of other card games for your customers to consider playing. Trust me when I say this: they don’t need you as a distributor.

I have seen some bad apps in my life, but this is by far the worst app I have ever seen! The navigation is very hard, it is difficult to do just about everything. Half the features either don’t work or are basically useless. The fact that this app is “needed” to do events is a load of crap! I’m not sure if Bandai is trying to drive people away from their game, but if they keep making us use this terrible app we will lose a lot of people and the game will begin to die.
Bandai fix this app or don’t require it all together.
Also, the program uses more data and runs slower than I final website did. It takes forever and burns through so much data just to look through cardlist. And for the love of the search, please add a toggle for turning on or off alternate arts!

Using this app actively made my tournament experience worse. While it’s supposed to make running tournaments more smoothly for TO’s, it constantly caused issues with the tournament. Failures to correctly pair players, inability for the app to correct issues in reports, cluttered record keeping for players win loss records and even making things more difficult for stores that have weak or non-existent WiFi or internet connection. These are just a few problems with this app. The fact we “need” this to play in events is insulting to us players. I am begging Bandai to please fix the issues with this app. The old system worked leagues better.

The One Piece TCG reddit figured this out, if you're running into the issue where it won't give you the membership number just fill out the page without entering a phone number, hit register and it will give you your membership number. I finally figured this out today, extremely frustrating that it seems like this has been a problem for months and I had to dig to find a reddit thread (that was only posted 2.5 weeks ago!) to figure out how to be able to sign up for official Bandai events. Only giving 2 stars so people hopefully see this.

The app is terrible. As a TO for events, I find this app to be one of the worst. Notifications are sent to players only through the app, so any updates to an event require a player to monitor the app for a tiny little red dot in the corner. It allows players to choose a nickname without providing their real name or email to the TO, so I have figure out who ‘NightSword57’, ‘NightSword58’, and ‘CaptainButt’ are when doing any TOing. There are also no editing tools for the events and requires Bandai to be contacted by email to make any changes. We’re required to use the app to run events, but the app makes the experience terrible.

Missing out on pre-release because an event got capped but less than half of the people actually showed in event start. The app is unresponsive and not user friendly, glitches constantly with the “unauthorized error” message that makes you sign in and out and build your profile 10 times before it works. This system is prone to bots and will make getting to actually play in a tournament an absolutely nightmare. If bandai is going to make this mandatory build a solid infrastructure for players to use. Otherwise remove this as a requirement for tournament play and fix this garbage app and system.

This app is horrendous. So many bugs and not user friendly at all. The searches are very difficult hardly finding anything because it has to be an exact way. And logging into an account is horrible. It will stay in a loop when registering an account, you hit register and then it’ll keep prompting you to fill out the information for a profile or log in after you’ve already done so many times. If Bandai really forces players and stores to use this app then they need to fix it and make it run smooth as butter. This is ridiculous

I initially tried installing this app, only to have to reinstall it 3-4 times to be able to make it through account creation successfully without bugging. I finally get it to work and by next week’s local tournament I had to reinstall again only for it not to work at all. I try every week to fix my instance of this app and have not once been able to successfully sign up for a tournament. I rarely write reviews, let alone negative ones, but this app is trash.

I’ve been playing in digimon tournaments for a while now and I had no problem with the BCCID system. It worked fine. Now we have to use this app. I try to log in and it redirects me to the BCCID website. After I log in it says “unauthorized error”. I log out and it says I need to register. I try to register, it says I need to log in. I try to log in, it doesn’t work. It’s a never ending cycle of trying to get into the dang app. You need to seriously fix this app, Bandai, it releases in 2 days.

Is it a frustrating mess to use? Yes. But the dbs community in my area is small and far spread and it’s helped me find a tournament to play with my three friends where I would have never been able to find it previously so I’m happy that we have it. Although it is annoying to use.
