Awesome app. Could be just a bit better for iPad users.

Max Preps you guys have a great app that lets people follow along when I’m covering sporting events. The only suggestion I have is that when I’m using an iPad I like the sideways look much better as it goes with my case for the device. I wouldn’t mind if you created a different app just for iPad users. If you can update the app to allow for that I will rate it 5 stars easily.

Not very User Friendly

This App has a lot of good information. However, this App is not user friendly at all.

When I had issues, they did not have the decency to reply to my email inquiries. There is no communication when you run into challenges with the App.

When the score was not reported for my son’s game, I clicked on “Report Score”. A new screen opened, but the App did not allow me to report the score.

I paid and...

I can’t watch my grandson’s game due to all the interviews and ads I get when I click on “view game”! What is the problem?? I have been trying for 40 minutes with NO luck! I watched another grandson for TWO years with NO problems! What changed??

Better than nothing

Don’t assume the information here is correct. Example: 8/24 game between Maynard Jackson vs Therrell, score showed MJ won 61-6.. just got a notification the next morning that Therrell won 31-0. At least you can see schedule and eventually, some highlights.

“Heart” Cannot Be Ranked

MaxPreps does a fantastic job cataloging teams throughout the country. Every now and then, teams will upset a higher ranked team. Upsets make football or any other athletic contest interesting. I suppose that analytics, statistics, individual player performances, returning players and school traditions go into the ranking. It would be nice to know exactly what goes into the numbers. There have been changes in ranking whether a team has won or lost. Most likely by outcomes of common opponents or other mitigating circumstances. Overall, as a score keeper, I cherish being involved in my teams ranking. Go #MaxPrep!!

Thank you for the awesome review. We really appreciate the feedback. :) -Christina MaxPreps Staff

Great app

This is my new favorite app. I am a stat geek and our coach enters the stats in after every game. I can compare my sons stats and get a feel for where he stands, and how all the other players on my sons team are doing. You can compare them in your division, your state or nationally. You can compare by position and grade. Great app!

Max Preps

Hard to go from page to page at times. Frequently need to back up to the “Teams” and re enter the team I want to see and the player I want to select. Also, for us amateurs it would be good to have a cheat sheet that defines the terms or acronyms used in the stats.

Love the MaxPreps website, disappointed with the app.

The app always crashes, says it “can’t find the teams I have saved”, and doesn’t have all of the sports for the schools listed. The MaxPreps website is great but I am very disappointed with the app. Additionally, there is more information about the school rankings on the website than in the app. There is also a way to search for athletes and schools on the website, but the app only lets you search for schools. When it works, the app is great for scores; however I would recommend using the website for more in-depth stats and rankings.

Syncing

There needs to be a better way to sync with game changer. Game changer constantly changes with game schedules etc. it’s a pain to try to make updates when it makes one sync on a pre schedule and won’t adapt with updates from game changer schedules. It would be a huge improvement to have this ability.

Perfect tracker of high school sports

Just found this yesterday in App Store. Our high school girls and boys basketball had games last night, and minutes after games ended, scores were posted. Am following other schools and scores posted immediately. Have and still using ScoreStream and mhsaa app, but max prep beats both hands down. Today, it even posted rankings locally, statewide, and national..

That said, hope max prep covers track and field, golf, and competitive cheer. My niece is doing competitive cheer as a varsity hs sport, but not many site apps cover it. Also, local paper comes out weekly, and majority of sports coverage is basketball, football, volleyball, and soccer.

Update. Just received a response from developer. Thanks for the feedback and looking forward to future upgrades to app

Hi There, thank you for downloading the app and the awesome review:) We hope to have track, golf, cheer and other non core sports in the app later down the road.-Christina, MaxPreps Staff
