Some fun, has become more money-oriented
I used Bunt last year for the 2015-16 season and it was awesome! It was a great way for people like me who couldnt really afford to splurge on cards to get cool inserts and enjoy collecting, and the contests were a lot of fun.
I have deleted the app for 2016-17 season a few weeks in. Everything that I enjoyed about Bunt last year was taken away. Now, I understand that digital card collecting is starting to pick up, so card companies want to cash in. But, I feel like Topps went ahead and made it that you had to spend money to get in on the cool inserts, etc. For example: higher odds for a higher amount of coins (I remember it being 5,000 coins for 1:20 odds last year, this year its been 10,000 coins at 1:100 odds), "guaranteed" insert packs which are way more expensive in terms of coins or you could spend actual money for them.
The free contests for this season dont really allow you to get in on the insert packs, and the money entry contests pretty much pay you back your money, since you need better cards to really have an advantage (which you can get from buying more packs with more coins, of course.)
Overall, the app went in the wrong direction for me. But, I can understand how the app can be fun for people who are willing to spend, and I understand that Topps is a company first and needs to make money.
