About this app

VEX via allows you to follow the progress and results of VEX Robotics Competition, VEX U, and VEX IQ Challenge events. Team lists, match schedules, match results, rankings, and skills challenge results are easy to access and can be sorted by event or by team. Result updates can be downloaded as the events unfold, and you can also register to receive instant score alerts for your favorite teams.

Ratings and reviews

This app is terrible! Two stars because the features it has work, only two stars because there are hardly any features. You can't click a favorite team and see their matches, or events, or scores. You can't search for teams. You can't search for events. To find events, you have to go in a list of all events since 2019, sorted oldest to newest, which means all the ones you want to see are at the very bottom. Every time you go into the event page, you have to refilter program, country, and state.

It does the bare minimum to be functional. But, notifications don't work, it's slow to update scores, and is difficult to navigate. Scheduled times never update is the tournament falls behind, selecting your favorite team from the factors list doesn't do anything.

App doesn't load the team list. My son's iPhone app has all the teams listed for his event tomorrow, while mine is stuck on the "The division list is empty; please wait a few seconds while the latest event data is downloaded." I have seen other instances of the same feedback posted here with no information on resolution. Would have hoped that prior feedback on this issue would have led to a fix.
