## Review summary

The Blue Alliance is widely loved as the essential FRC info hub, with strong event coverage and past-season data. Users praise improved event navigation and alliance visuals, and the app’s usefulness in-stadiums. However, a major UI rewrite has sparked broad frustration due to lost features, poorer navigation to team pages and cross-event data, and missing ranking/statistics. Data updates are also inconsistent, with events and stats not always current.

### Pros

- Widely regarded as the go-to source for FRC information during competitions.
- Improved events navigation with district sorting and quick access to schedules, streams, and scores.
- Clear visual identification of alliances with color cues.
- Works in stands and offline, staying useful during events.
- Includes information about past seasons.

### Cons

- Major UI overhaul removed or buried features and worsened navigation, including difficulty viewing team pages and cross-event data.
- Lack of detailed ranking data such as averages and team-specific stats.
- Event data and stats often not updating in a timely manner or showing last year's information.
- Inconsistent cross-team navigation; cannot easily access team pages across events.
