Love the app but have a request…
Love the app. Needs one thing though.
Decent, but not perfect
I have two complaints, one somewhat minor and one that may limit my use of this app:
The minor gripe is that the clock doesn’t allow me to type in a time to change the time. Having to scroll through, especially since the numbers do not roll over (e.g. when going from :01 to :59, I would either have to scroll through all the numbers or play the clock to go down a few seconds) is a time consuming thing in the middle of quick action. If I were perfect at keeping in sync with the clock operator, it wouldn’t be an issue. But I often have to make updates to the times in order for the game flow to display properly.
The issue that may keep me from using the app is that there’s no mechanism for syncing between devices. Enabling either a cloud-based sync ability (most ideal) or some way to export/import seasons, teams, and stats between devices would make this app significantly more useful to me. I find that I do live stats on one iPad, film on another iPad, and review the stats on the go on my phone. Other apps support this, and I’ve come to rely on it in my coaching workflows.
This app has so much potential; I hope the developers keep improving it and that it becomes something that can be my primary stats app
Way too much info
I understand you can turn the game clock on and off and if I use the app again (and that is a big if), I am going to turn the game clock off as that really isnt important to me but what really is hard is just keeping track of who is in and who is out, especially when there are multiple substitutions on both teams. I think it would be good if we just had a roster of the team and could click on any of the players instead of trying to keep track of who is in or out.
Ended up creating a spreadsheet that I think I will probably utilize more than I can use this program which is disappointing considering I spent 20 bucks on the app.
Pretty good
Love the app but would love to be able to break down active game by quarter
Great Functionality
Note: a lot of my trouble navigating the app was due to some visual bugs with my device being set to dark mode in the system settings. After the 2.7.8 update, these bugs are gone and the app is so much easier to navigate.
Great app for basketball stats
Great and professional
My Review
Great App
Helpful App
Nevertheless, this app combines what usually would take three sheets of paper for me and gives you interesting efficiency stats.
Broken
Great App!!!
Cost

Tracks a lot of data...
Over the past few weeks, I have used several basketball data tracking apps and this one definitely tracks the most statistics. Setting things up takes a little practice (not quite as intuitive as some of the other apps I have used in that you need to set up not only your team, but also an opposing team). The one thing that I was not thrilled about was the requirement to register the app in order to see the reports. (At the time, I did not have internet access, so I was not able to review my data after the game. They also had a server problem that would not allow me to register the app, which has since been fixed.)
This app costs about twice as much as the other one I was using. It does track more data, but I am not yet sure if the premium was worth it. Time will tell...

Thanks for your feedback. First, let me assure you that you can generate reports and view them on your device without having internet access. The only time you must have internet access is the very first time you run a report. At that time you must register the app. After you register you won't be required to have internet access to run a report and you will be able to view the reports on your device. If you haven't gone through the registration process, please do so by running any report and following the registration process. If you are getting an error message while trying to register, please give us that error message. The fastest way to get the error message to support is to use the Contact button on the About page of the app. That will come directly to support. If whatever is causing you to receive an error message prevents you from using the Contact button, just email the error message and any other helpful information to appsupport@breakthroughbasketball.com. By the way, we never see any of your data or reports. All of the data and the report generation is done on your device and does not require an internet connection to do so. You can (don't have to) run a report and then export (email) to anyone you wish. Of course, that will require an internet connection. Following is some information that will help when trying to export and email a report. The Mail account that Apple provides on your iPad/iPhone must be set up because our app uses that email account to send the reports to you. So, make sure it is set up and functioning correctly. Note that if you use a browser for your email, like with Gmail, you still have to set up the Mail account that is provided with your iPad/iPhone. Of course, make sure that the “To” email address is correct. Also, make sure you have internet access when you send the email. To set up the Mail account: Find the Settings icon on your iPad/iPhone and tap it. Scroll down and tap Accounts & Passwords (On older versions of iOS tap on Mail which may be combined with Contacts, Calendars). Tap Add Account. Follow the instructions to set up the email account that you normally use. If you have your Mail account set up and the reports still aren’t working, go into the Mail app on your device and try sending an email to yourself. If that doesn’t work, there is still something set up wrong in your Mail account. You might try deleting the Mail account and setting it up again. If you don't have Apple's Mail app on your iPad/iPhone make sure you download it from the App Store as it is necessary for emailing from our app to work correctly. Without the app the Send button will be grayed out. We’ve also had customers report that the storage on their device was almost full and that prevented the Mail account from functioning correctly. In that case, you should delete some of the unused apps to free up storage space. Hope that helps. If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Great App, many features and reports
Disappointed
Update1: Continued frustration. Everything is so compartmentalized, that you can only enter data one way. If I want to start a game, but don’t have that team entered I can’t just enter it in the game screen, I have to back out to the games/league screen. Same thing for adding a league.
Appreciate the quick feedback from the developer.

Appreciate your feedback. The comment about entering height relates to a bug. The iPad version allows you to enter feet and inches but the iPhone version doesn't show the proper keyboard to allow you to do that. We will get that fixed. It's somewhat amazing that we hadn't found that bug earlier or that no one else has reported it in the last 3 years. Most likely very few users enter height when entering players but it should work correctly anyway.
