Simple, easy to use, and very helpful!

Highly recommend this app. It’s great for building lineups for little league teams

Must Have!

This app is hands down the best way for me to plan my defensive lineups for a whole game. It’s a feature not offered by any of the popular scorekeeping apps. The scorekeeping is very manual and not as fun as the popular ones, but it does allow for the more appropriate stat OBPE (On Base Percentage plus Errors), which is important for youth baseball and softball.

Great App…BUT

The only BUT I have about the app is not having a section under the “fielding section” to take notes on errors made, putouts, etc to help me make good position decisions when needed

Great app! Just a couple flaws

So i am a coach and i LOVE this app. Only a couple things i think would improve it. When generating a batting report. It lists the players in alphabetical order. There is no option or report to generate that “ranks” the players according to stats. I.E. batting avg highest to lowest. Also when keeping track of pitches. I accidentally tapped ball many times instead of strike. To remove you have to hold the button for about 2-3 second for it to remove ONE count. I went over by 20 pitches. So this was tedious to remove 20 pitches. Adding a simple plus or minus tab there would be great. Other than that, this app is pretty good. Update the report to reflect top to bottom performers and i this is a 5 star app.

Response from developer

Thank you, and I'm glad we were able to fix your issue

Great customer service

I originally though paying for this app was a little expensive. Especially once i started trying to use the app for the first time. At first i wasdisappointed cause there was a little bit cause technology never seems to work for me the way i need it to. So i asked for help theough the app witha email and got a reaponse quicker then i could of imagined. By that time i figured it out but thanked john any ways for getting back in such a timely fashion. He even replied to that comment really quickly. For what i spent the app does exactly what i need it to to, plan out my line ups. Plus knowing customer service replies so quick to help makes this app well worth it. BASEBALL COACHES GET THIS APP

Nice software

This software has a lot of nice options. One of the best I have seen. I like you can use it for different levels of detail. I would suggest a tab that would easily allow to keep track of general runs, outs , innings with out going into every player. Sort of like just a counter There is a lot going on with 7 year olds to keep track such detail as what base each player reached. It is a bit overwhelming while trying to Hurd cats. At the age I am helping with simple is better. The only other thing I would love to have is to be able to print the field position on the baseball diamond reference so I can post it for the kids to have a visual where they are playing. Right now I draw it on a white board and change it every inning. I thought this had that option when I purchased it because you can view it while choosing or changing their position. Overall a nice app, would be in my opinion perfect for my needs with a few tweaks. I also recommend that if you use the random option for field position it evenly distributs the kids that are benched. I like that you can change a position if you want but sometimes it will bench the same kid 3 times and not at all on others. Unfortunately my team is 15 played so we have to be sure the same kids don’t sit out all the time.
I really like the swipe option to say they are there or absent but it would be nice if when I say they are absent it would switch their position automatically with some on that is benched that inning.

Again this is a very nice software but not perfect yet

Response from developer

A new update is available now that allows you to print the field positions on a diamond. We are working on enhancements to optimize the random position generator, but inevitably you may need to make quick tweaks to get it just right for your needs.

Question

Would it be possible to add hit location/notes for player at bats?

Response from developer

I'm putting that on the to-do list

Vs Game Changer

I’ve been using game changer for a while now. After looking around I decided to give this app a try. The thing that appeals most is the ability to set positions per inning. I coach for my sons local little leagues (there are several). In gamechanger I have to change their positions every inning, so it has a tendency to mess with stats a little if I’m not on top of things.

I noticed that the last update was a year ago, have there been any recent developments with this app? I’d be interested to see if there’s anything in the works.

Thank you for your feedback. Just released a new version!

Stick with Paper

Confusing. Not helpful for little league. Don’t waste your money.

Frustrating app

Ok if all you want to do is have a line-up. Can’t share with other coaches or someone keeping stats. Stats options are nice if you could share for someone else to use while you are busy coaching. Not a fan right now, but with simple improvements the app could be awesome.

Response from developer

You didn't bother to wait for a response to the email you sent just yesterday, but yes, you CAN share with other coaches. Any report or lineup can be exported in a variety of ways. It is NOT a multiuser app that allows multiple people to take stats at the same time, but that would require steady internet and other users who paid for the app. The main strength of this app is saving hours of time making good lineups, then looking at the stats and performance in between games. For a few dollars you don't get a multiuser system with a shared cloud database.

Quick question

So far so good. Can one coach share everything with another coach? We both tried several different things and nothing has worked. Please help

Response from developer

The short answer is "yes", but there are limits. Please send an email to info@peakviewsoftware.com and we can discuss the options. We don't always see these reviews in a timely manner, and some questions require a lengthy answer.

Amazing app

I wanna change the background though

Response from developer

That's a good idea, maybe allow you to select your team color?

All Star

App is a must have for youth coaches! So easy to keep track of who’s playing where. Just print and post! Also great for simple scorekeeping for younger kids!

Pocket Coach

I love the app, but now I am trying to update my roster by exporting my TeamSnap roster and the app continues to reject it. I login to TeamSnap fine...

Response from developer

This was addressed in a recent update, send an email to info@peakviewsoftware.com if you still have any issues

J'adore

Cela fonctionne très bien.

Just what I needed

First day using it but so far it's been everything that I have been looking for. Love that it tracks practice attendance, defensive positions inning to inning and he score keeping seems super easy. The only thing I would like to see as of now is as part of the attendance and game tracker maybe an arrival time option, I like to track if my kids are on time or consistently late as that factors into play time etc.

Software keeps closing!

I've enjoyed using this app. It allows me to capture the stats I really need and make lineup adjustments on the fly. Unfortunately though it has started crashing and now it will only open for a second or two before crashing. I don't want to lose the data so I'm stuck.

Not worth the headaches.

App is fine for the bare minimum. Unable to do any sort of data export to other coaches, all with paid versions of the app. Forced to duplicate data.

Waste of money

App is very hard to use stay away!!!
