### 1/5 — Dimitry

*2026-06-04*

They spam with optional emails which you can’t unsubscribe from. I’ve got 67 emails from their app just in 1 week. Their support said they can’t do anything about it.

### 5/5 — Free is great, pro even better

*2026-05-22, version 3.2.12*

We use this for our ice hockey club and it works great.  We organize weekly skates and events and find it to be a highly integral part of what we do and can do.  John is very responsive from the team.

### 2/5 — Great idea but glitchy

*2026-05-21*

The app itself is a great idea but I (or my team) never receive notifications. For that reason, I give it a low rating. Switching to a different app for my ball team.

**Developer response:** Hi Michy. So sorry to hear you’re having issues. Did you reach out to support?

### 5/5 — Except team software

*2026-05-19*

Excellent team software we have been using this for two years and it’s been pretty much Seamless I would suggest that to anyone.    Great tool for organization very low maintenance. Constant updates well done team BenchApp five stars for me. You’re my MVP for the season.

### 1/5 — No Tennis

*2026-05-06*

Should be a no brainer and easy add since pickleball is already there

**Developer response:** Well he adding tennis very soon! We’d love to hear how we can make the app better for tennis.

### 1/5 — Update fail

*2026-05-05*

Did the update and now can’t get back in

**Developer response:** Hi there. Can you email us at help@benchapp.com? The new updates don’t affect your log in so there must be another issue!

### 3/5 — Bench App quick feedback

*2026-04-10*

When a game is full, waitlist players should have priority, but right now:
• they don’t get notified when spots open
• they often can’t join even if they’re space.
• spare invites, let other players jump ahead of them.
This makes it unfair for the people who signed up first.

Simple fix:
• notify waitlist when a spot opens.
• let them claim spots first
(first come, first serve served)
• don’t allow spare invites to override the waitlist.
This would make things way more fair and reduce manual work for organizers.

### 2/5 — Constant Spam

*2026-04-10, version 3.2.8*

I have turned off all notifications in all settings, including per-team settings, but your app still sends me many emails about “hey set attendance for a game”.

### 1/5 — Please Remove ride request. One star until this happens.

*2026-04-04, version 3.2.8*

I keep getting ppl asking for rides to games im not even attending. No way to turn off the notification. I never want to be asked for a ride this way and for games or teams im not even attending.

### 2/5 — Bare Bones

*2026-04-02, version 3.2.8*

This app does the bare bones for team game scheduling, but why does it need to cost $9/month just to get a push notification to my phone on a game day? Silly.
