Seeking Feedback On Our iPhone/iPad App

By Tim Dierkes | January 7, 2020 at 1:10pm CDT

Many of you are regular users of our Trade Rumors iOS app, and in fact you may be reading this post through it.  We launched the Trade Rumors app more than five years ago as a mobile-friendly way to read our articles and set up custom notifications.  While we’ve addressed bugs and added a few features along the way, the app is due for a refresh.

If you’re a current user of the Trade Rumors iOS app and you’ve identified a bug or something that doesn’t seem to work correctly, please go to the Settings icon in the upper right, scroll down to “Feature Requests or Help,” and let us know about the issue.  Over the next few months I aim to address any outstanding bugs we can identify.

If you have a feature request or other feedback about the app, we’d love to hear it.  Current app users can use that same “Feature Requests or Help” option.  Plus any MLBTR reader, whether you currently use the app or not, is welcome to email us about it at traderumorsapp@gmail.com or leave feedback in the comments of this post.  If certain feature requests come up repeatedly, we’ll look into adding those to the Trade Rumors app.  For example, adding a Dark Mode option seems to make sense.  Especially since the original MLBTR website color scheme was basically Dark Mode!

If you’re not using our free Trade Rumors app yet, download it today!

    I think a post around the hours of 10-11pm est with quick summaries of the days biggest/hottest/interesting articles with quick links to the full article. For some who’s working all day and just wants the more major news articles all in one place for that easy access

    The comments section does not read like it does on the web site. There’s no upvote options, and chain threads don’t really show who is replying to who after the third comment down. Going along with this, it’s sometimes difficult to see if and who(m) has replied to you, as there is no notification of this on the app.

      The threaded comments are like that because of the limitations of screen size on mobile devices. Otherwise, you’d have comments that look like
      t
      h
      i
      s
      all the way to the right of your screen.

      I have noticed, however, that there’s no way to report spam comments from the app.

      I agree, just emailed that and about preferring a subscription over ads(The video based ads interrupt your podcast or music). For me, the simplest solution is to use @usernam to make it clear who you comment is directed towards.

      The web site has the same chain thread issue: Often, only when some one inserts the handle of the person(?) they are responding to does a comment make sense.
      (It is true, unfortunately, in some cases, not even then)

    Your APP works much better than your website. If I read an article on the MLBTradeRumors.com website and use the back arrow to get back to the home page, about 50% of the time, it brings me back to a home page that is 2-3 weeks old for some reason. I then have to hit my saved bookmark link to refresh the home page for current articles. This is not a problem when I use the APP, but for some reason I seem to use your standard URL much more than your APP. Can’t tell you why I continue to do this; maybe it’s just a case of not teaching an old dog new tricks.

      That sounds like a browser issue more than a website issue. Do you use the same computer every time, or is this on multiple computers?

      You need to clear your browser’s cashe. Even mobile browsers like safari have a cashe and when it hasn’t been cleared it can cause some of the problems you have described.

      The iPhone app freezes when you are clicking on a news item and at that very same moment the 4G signal disappears because of a bad signal (like being on the subway). It totally freezes down and only reappears if you either turn on plane mode or take the app out of the memory.

      I don’t get these either. Is it just a setting or something? This doesn’t seem like something that would differentiate between an app and a browser. Seems more like an account/email thing. If someone replies to a post, send me an email, why would it matter how I posted it?

    I agree with the other posts above. No way to up-vote on the APP. Also, please consider bringing back the down-vote….there are more than a handful of posts that ‘require’ a down-vote on a daily basis 😉

    Can we get a tab that connects us to roster resources? Or a tab for basic fan graphs info explaining advanced stats. I see users on here asking all the time what some of these advanced stats mean and it only makes sense to post to the links explaining them since chats consistently use advance metrics.

    Funny, I just went to the app store yesterday to see if I needed to download a fresh update and noticed it had been years since the last one.

    Wishlist:

    – a way to bookmark threads that you want to continue to follow.

    -notification of a comment to your post

    – a “go to newest comment” button. It’s a pain in the you know what to scroll through several hundred replies to get to the bottom.

    – ability to edit a post, even if it’s only for just a few minutes after posting.

    Overall, I like the app. The boy thing I don’t like is that the icon on my phone shows a football when I’m only interested in the baseball part of it. It’d be nice if it showed a baseball instead for those of us only registered to see baseball news.

    I love how this app is designed with the ability to swipe between sports/players feeds. One thing that would be very helpful would be a search box. Currently, if I want to search news for a certain player, I have to add him to my “current feeds”.

    How do you get notifications set up? I don’t see them under settings. I’ll comment on a thread and then can’t find my comment several minutes later so there isn’t really a “conversation” happening. Real time messaging would be cool, similar to Microsoft Teams. Also, it would be cool if the biggest news of the day were docked at the top or something similar. I scroll through articles and might miss some big news because it’s down below the rest.
