Great idea, poorly run
Overall as a big high school sports fan it has been a very enjoyable app. There are a few issues though. When you click on a team roster and click on a single player if you hit the back arrow after you hit on the player it will bring you back to the teams home page. this can be a little frustrating at times. This app has tons of potential if updated.😀

My review
Last year MaxPreps was better it was up to date and not lacking on the scores, but this varsity football year it has been lacking for example, posting the wrong scores, not posting scores etc, but overall the app is great just need to be a tad but better.
ESKO varsity football team
I really enjoy your recaps. I am a proud mother/ grandmother and have close connections to this team. My son is their defensive coordinator. I have 3 grandson’s who play also on this team. Mason #30 (senior), Carter #12 Junior, Makoi #3 Sophomore. They’re top players on the team. Esko’s record is 9-0. And they’re now looking forward a playing in the playoffs. Keep up the great videos!!!

App is cool, but has some negatives
I love that we can keep up to date with highschool football rankings. It’s really cool being able to see all this stuff. The biggest thing that bothers me are the Rankings are really skewed. They keep certain schools ranked at the top regardless if they lose or not. It’s a bit of favoritism. Let’s look at American Heritage is some how ranked at 32 in the country but treasure coast Titans are ranked at 52. Treasure coast beat AH by 8 points but had a tough away game against cocoa beach with a few injuries and lost by a point for the first of the season. Now American heritage isn’t a bad football team they have a tough schedule. In an easier schedule they’d probably be undefeated. All I’m saying is if they pretty much got dominated for most of the game by treasure coast there’s no way they should be ranked over them. It wasn’t a 1 time thing. Treasure coast is an elite team. Put some Respect on them.

Scoring issue
Good app for the most part. Only issue I have is when you’re the scorer if you back out of where you can add an event during the game I’ve yet to figure out how to get back to where you can add an update. And there’s no way to stop being the scorer if this happens. Quite frustrating.
Also if you add a comment during the game if it mentions the app in any way the algorithm won’t allow you to add the comment at all.

Okay for what it does.
This app has good content but the navigation is pretty bad and needs to be improved. Some scores and stats can be off from time to time but I think the schools or verified fans are responsible for that not the developers themselves. The ads can be overwhelming and the UI is about 5 or 6 years behind modern apps. If there was another app with as many schools using them I would avoid this one.

Review
Overall, it is pretty good. My one complaint is the fact that the “back” button is not reliable - sometimes it will actually take you back to the previous screen, but way more often than not, it takes you all the way back to the original search. Very frustrating when trying to track certain things.
Utterly dissatisfied
I don’t know if you just don’t require the companies you contract with to meet professional standards or you don’t have any yourself - but at the very least, your subscribers should be able to expect accuracy on your site. You continuously post game recaps with inaccurate scores where you only include highlights of the losing team. As a parent of a St. Francis Football player who depends on your site to accurately reflect scores and highlights for colleges - I could not be more disappointed. Do better

Missing score board
I love being able to watch my Grandson Joel Speckman Jr play varsity basketball for Chaparral High school in Parker, Colorado, but some of the games don’t have a scoreboard with the real time and score superimposed on the screen. It is very frustrating. I live in Arizona and he live in Colorado. Most of the games I have watched haven’t been close. They are 5 and 0 fit the season. I’m afraid there is going to be a close game and I won’t know the score or how much time is left. Other than that I love this app.

Locks up on location request
Couldn’t even set it up.... I’m old it’s probably not simple enough for me.
Update: Every-time I loaded the app and selected log in - it asked about notification, location, and nothing. Nothing to swipe or touch on location. Had to delete the App to get off the screen(regardless of location settings). The last attempt I selected new setup and input my info. It gave me a message profile already existed and offered to log in- logged in and it worked flawlessly. Maxpreps did email and offer assistance.
