Features Users Want Most in Competition Chart Apps

"I can't log on and there's no 'forgot username' to see what they have listed as my username. They have 'forgot password' but that's as far as they went with this."

"When my child attends a comp, I cannot save that competition and have to go in each time to search for the competition and date"

"I also cannot save her dances to our"

"Recommendations: - Add studio names"

"The most recent update will not allow the live stream to be mirrored to a tv. The stream is 'live' for a limited time (you can see the time bar while being cast but now while on the device directly) and then ends after 10-30 seconds."

"Previous app version gave a time status when looking at the live schedule. 10 minutes ahead, 53 minutes behind for example."

Build reliable, buffer-free livestreaming infrastructure as core differentiator

45% of complaints center on livestream failures - the primary value proposition is completely broken. Users explicitly state they miss irreplaceable moments of their children performing. This is the #1 pain point and biggest opportunity to differentiate. Use proven CDN infrastructure and adaptive bitrate streaming.

Create competition/dancer bookmark and notification system

Users repeatedly request ability to save competitions, save specific dancers/routines, and get accurate real-time notifications. This creates stickiness and recurring usage patterns. Easy win for user retention.

Enable seamless photo/video downloads and TV casting

Users want to download content to their devices and cast to TVs for family viewing. Current restrictions frustrate users who've already paid. Making content portable increases perceived value and reduces friction.

Build accurate real-time schedule tracking with delay indicators

Competitions run behind schedule constantly. Users want to know actual timing, not original schedule. Previous version had this feature and users want it back. Solves major pain point of waiting around or missing performances.

Partner with smaller/regional competitions initially rather than compete with DanceBUG's exclusive contracts

DanceBUG has exclusive photography rights at major competitions, creating vendor lock-in. Start with underserved regional competitions, prove superior quality/reliability, then approach larger competitions with proven track record. Word-of-mouth in tight-knit dance community will drive adoption.
