Love You Developers!
TeamSnap as an App is great at what it does. We’ve used it for our daughters sports ranging from Softball and Volleyball to Basketball and Soccer. It’s awesome. The communication and schedule sharing changes the way you interact as a Coach and a Parent.
But, behind this incredible App are the true heroes....the Developers! I don’t know them, but I feel like I do. As a software developer myself, I feel like we’re best friends already. If you have this App installed and an update becomes available, I implore you to read the release notes that go along with said update. They are humorous and good natured, and offer a glimpse into the fun and joy that the developers put into making this great App for the world.
Thank you TeamSnap Developers! Whoever you are, wherever you are...Show lessMickWrob
Communication
Wonderful means of communication! As a coach I know that in today’s busy and hectic world communication is a must. Keeping players, coaches and family members informed throughout the season is an absolute must. This app makes that so simple, so as a coach I can spend more time focusing on things that make us a better team and less time worried about keeping everyone informed of information as it changes throughout the season. An absolute must in today’s busy and demanding world. Great app and easy to use. Couldn’t be happier.

3 things I love about a Teamsnap
As a coach, I had been using WhatsApp to communicate with the parents of my team. When another coach told me about Teamsnap, I decided to check it out.
Here are 3 things I love about Teamsnap:
1) I love how I can have everything in one place. No more using Sign-up genius for half-time snacks. Teamsnap “Assignments” takes care of that.
2) I love how easy it is to communicate a cancellation or a event change. When weather causes a cancellation, I edit the event by sliding a button and immediately the parents are informed by email of the change with subject heading that makes it crystal clear
3) Statistics. I am a numbers guy. I love how the outcome of each game can be immediately communicated and becomes a thing of record. With that, you can keep track of who scored, who gave an assist, who fouled...and many more.
The one thing I wish it had was interface with Apple CarPlay. That way, I could receive messages while on the road and respond immediately I’m sure the good folks at Teamsnap are working on thatShow lessAAllyn
Ad free mode - Team Snap Plus
This app is terrible. I have been paying for Team Snap Plus
A TERRIBLE APP. RUINED BY Developers attempt to monetize. I whave been using Team Snap Plus-the purportedly paid “ad free” upgrade since it first was offered. Subscribing to SNAP PLUS is supposed to remove all of the distracting ads. Parents use the app to Avoid DISTRACTIONS. TO QUICKLY CHECK ON KIDS youth sports schedule of Games and practices. The ads create MORE DISTRACTIONS. I CANNOT FIND PRACTICes AND GAME SCHEDULE and WITHOUT going through as many ads as the Company can squeeze in. All of my kids coaches mandate use of team Snap. So I can’t cancel my use of it. It is pure @@@####. Coaches please switch to the different ad free apps. Consumer tell coaches to avoid Team Snap like the plague. Another thing that makes youth sports so annoying.Show lessAryeh@
Almost a good app.
This is the third year I have used this app. Initially I didn’t like it. Then I kind of liked it. Now. I won’t use it next year when setting up my teams. One. I pay for it but still get advertising in my space. Second. The messaging system is subpar. It would be better if it just allowed texting and no Email. Email is for grandmas. I feel as though the developers are 20 somethings with no kids in sports. And if they do have kids. Don’t actually coach or organize youth sports. I have baseball teams. Basketball ball teams. And run a tee ball division of little league. Switching to another app. Also. The App and the website don’t talk. I have tried to retire teams. But they keep showing up on my app version. Also. I can’t retire teams that have been set up by others. Why can’t I have the power on deleting teams? There are better appsShow lessDubA76
Could be a great app but....
It has many areas that are lacking. I have one team that gets all of the notifications and another team that gets NOTHING! Mind you I set up both teams on the same day so what’s the problem??? It would also be nice to add a feature to where the creator can see who actually saw a Posted message in the team chat. We have had many parents miss games and practices all together because they never receive and email or notification for it. I am not sending out daily reminders of what is on the schedule for the day and still have some parents not getting that info sent to them. Very frustrating!! I have even checked their phones to see what they are talking about and their team message is completely empty.Show lessDarling Dover
Still needs tweaks to make it a viable player
This app is not bad, but it’s far from great. There are a couple updates I’d like to see in the very near future that would at least bump it up.
1) Please, please, please make it so we can heart or like a message in the chat. Right now it’s borderline unbearable because the only way you know the group has seen your message is if the type a reply. Also, important to note if this update is made...if someone likes your comment, only the person who made the comment would get a push notification. Everyone should be able to see who liked it and the number of likes a comment has received.
2) Allow folks to get notifications when someone makes a new Post (not in messages, Post) and when a reply to a post is made. And please allow pictures in posts. This would really helpful when trying to coordinate selling Football squares or other fundraisers. I like the idea of having a place for Posts, to keep information consolidated and keep the Messages clean...but if the group doesn’t get notified via push notification for posts and replies to posts...it’s pretty useless.
I really hope the developers read this and make these updates. I know it would go a long way with this user!Show lessCbowles76
Great Concept... how kids still have so many quirks?
This could be the new standard for coaches and teams but many quirks and unintuitive features hold it back. 1. I’ve entered the location of the games, yet on the map it still says address not located but the pin and the math is exactly the address I just put in. Totally confusing parents. 2. Inside of the app, in the email section, I cannot reply to an email. Is this intentional? Should I be replying through my Gmail or Hotmail account? I’m not sure?!?!? 3. The attendance feature is apparently not activated. Apparently the team “creator “has to set this up. Not sure if it is a paid service??? 4. I don’t understand what ends up on the Home screen. The schedule seems to be solid but sometimes there is missing information on the Home screen for next games, practices, etc. This is totally confusing parents. I’ve had to tell them to skip the Home screen altogether and just click on the schedule.
When parents can’t depend on something, it is scary how quickly they will abandon it. I would fix these, and the other issues mentioned in these numerous reviews quickly before I create my own app and take over your business!!! You’ve got more work to do than just changing out the Air filter!Show lessThohffgh
Ad nauseam
My second review. I hope lots of users read this and ask their team managers to abandon this platform. Sure, they lured in users with some well executed features, but it seems the plan was bait and switch. Not only do they charge a usage fee for the team management, but they abuse the team participants with advertisements on every click, and are charging a crazy fee for an ad free experience. It’s one step short of extortion. I used to love this app, now I hate it. I hope the owners of this company crash and burn on what appears to be a money grab IPO start-up play. Your greed is detestable. How about fewer features and an ad free experience. I mean do parents really need real time score when they are on the sidelines watching the game. Shameless commercialism. Vote with you wallet and put these money grubbers out of business. Ask your coach to find a new app. There are others out there who are not exploiting you and your kids.Show lessGadjitMonger
Needs a lot of work / paying for extra services that don’t work
This app is good at first, but once you start getting into the meat of using it the problems arise. No badge icon to notify of new posts, alerts, etc... Additionally the supposed easy notifications do not work half of the time and I end up with players/ parents who are uninformed. The worst part about it is that you don’t see any of these flaws until you have paid for the extra options, which don’t work. Good luck trying to get assistance as well, as you may receive an email reply a week or so after you fill out the online help request. Yes that’s right, you can’t talk to or chat with a human being in real time, unless you pay extra for that also. Get with the times and update your apps capabilities or you will be losing users nonstop.Show lessJImFred10
