It would be great to either be able to edit a players name (so you can add their position) or add a drop down position next to their name for quick reference when subbing players. ### 4/5 — Very handy! *2023-07-29* Has all the fundamentals and very simple UI which is easy to use. Very frustrating that I have to delete the app and reinstall every time there is a new game as I can’t seem to find a way to reset the player times. ### 4/5 — Needs multiple teams *2022-10-19* Great app, but would be good if you could save teams/players names for different sports. ### 4/5 — Helpful app *2020-10-14* I’ve used for a season of futsal and loved it. Looking forward to using for basketball now. Great free app. Thanks ### 4/5 — Great with one quibble *2020-08-29* Love the lineup management. Easy and straightforward to use. In youth U8, we have 4 periods with 7 minute play and 3 minute breaks. Would be great if I can hit a single pause and play button to stop both the game timer and rotation timer. Unless I’m missing something I have to hit both pause buttons to stop both timers and both to resume after the break. Would be even better if we could specify the number of breaks and time so the timer could manage that as well. ### 4/5 — No ability to swap goalie with specific player *2020-01-30* I like the setup of the app but I would prefer the ability to swap a specific player with the goalie. The current setup pulls the next player into that position while filling that spot from the bench. ### 4/5 — Forward for forwards *2020-01-20, version 1.6.5* Hi just wondered how I use the only changing a forward for a forward bit, can’t seem to find how to do it. Thank you app is really good for our rugby team. Chris ### 4/5 — Great app *2019-05-14* Great app for managing equal time for players. Functionality of rotating the goal keeper would be good to ensure equal time can be tracked for the keeper ### 4/5 — Not bad *2018-09-13* Missing a couple of essentials. It only allows you to manually substitute time in minutes, no seconds. Also doesn’t allow for managing goalies. Other than that, not bad. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Goalies are "fixed", but can easily be substituted using the drag and drop functionality. Hope this helps :) As for allowing seconds in manual substitution. It makes the user experience worse, so I'm afraid I will not implement that. Sorry! ### 4/5 — Great app with suggestion to make better *2018-03-23* I couldn’t find a support link or would have chosen that option to address this, but this app is great with the potential to be excellent if it had the ability to split playtime into minutes and seconds instead of just minutes. I know it has the potential because when the manual time button is disabled, it auto calculates playtime with minutes and seconds. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I feel allowing seconds in manual substitution makes the user experience worse, so I'm afraid I will not implement that. Sorry! ### 4/5 — Great - would like to manage several team *2017-06-02* Super app! Suggestion : I have 2 kids = 2 teams. I would like to manage several team. Also, if one of them practice 2 sports with different teammates, having the ability to build team would be nice. ### 4/5 — Works great! *2017-02-23* Good for basketball. Would be good to be able to set two halves for the match. Would also be good to only set number of players on court-the app can figure out the number of players on the bench. ### 3/5 — Great clean interface *2017-01-18* Thank you for making this app, it is nice and clean and I appreciate the un-itask focus of it. The only problem I have found is that it doesn't ensure equal play time. I coach basketball and if I have 8 players at a game, the third player in the list will play less than everyone else. I think everything else works great, but I don't know if this app can work for me if it doesn't help ensure equal play time. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I have fixed the algorithm to ensure equal play time. I really hope you will give it another try and consider updating your review if you like it :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why? *2022-03-24* Using for U7, 4 players take the field and I have 3 subs. Gives me an error telling me I can’t have 3 subs? Can’t progress any further, very frustrating ### 1/5 — Says “any sport” yet only usable for soccer? *2018-11-21* Where’s basketball?? How do u write any sport and only have soccer as an option with no option for another sport **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! It doesn't just work for soccer. I have received feedback from many happy coaches using it for other sports, a.o. basketball, hockey and rugby. Please consider trying it again and updating your review. ### 2/5 — You’ve stuffed the app *2026-06-13* When rewriting an app you have to bug test it so there is that many bugs that it’s ridiculous. You have to have at least one substitution due to your app. It doesn’t stay in line where the bench stays down the bottom which was perfect before. So if you’re gonna claim it’s better. Make sure you bug tested before I thought it was perfect now I think you’ve stuffed it. ### 2/5 — Can't use for 8 players *2016-05-25* I coach a basketball team - works great if I have 7 players - but can't add an 8th - why not !?! **Developer response:** That doesn't seem right. Could you please update to the latest version and see if that helps? ### 3/5 — Very useful but needs some refinement *2025-08-16* Great app simple but a couple of quirks to watch out for - if adding player mid game, their timers are not reset from the previous game (only resets at start of game) - out of sequence player swaps are tricky (eg someone comes off unexpectedly ) you can do it but it gets very fiddly. Would be great to be able to have a quick swap function - would be great to have a half time/quarter time function ### 3/5 — Simple and useful, but keeps no history *2024-04-06* The app is exactly what i need, a roster and a timer for subbing. Unfortunately it doesn’t remember previous games or even the roster after the app is closed. I created a team the night before a game to get ready for it, but the next morning everything was reset and blank. I would’ve had to type in all my names and set the game setttings right before the game started. So the app is a non-starter for me. Pun intended. ### 3/5 — Great potential *2020-09-19* Have not used it in a game yet, but seems like it has good potential. Agree with annoyance of having to stop two timers. That seems odd. Would also like a ‘period’ input that allows goalie subs only at end of periods or not at all. Finally, most important suggestion: add button that jumps right to next sub period so coaches can use this to see what final player time would look like. Who has time to let click run all the way down to check to see how equal distribution will eventually be. Also allows me to write baseline sub plan down in advance since often hard to see phone in the sun on field. ### 3/5 — Basketball mum *2019-10-04* Good app, easy to use. But would be great if the app had an option for multiple team. ### 3/5 — Good start but not quit there *2019-09-08, version 1.6.4* Found this and gave it a go in a friendly colts rugby game today. I was hoping for more, but it didn't really do it for me. Good points, easy to add names to the overall squad and then easy to select who was in the match day squad. Not so good things, (or things I couldn't figure out) 1. Seems to force a substitution on a timed basis. Don't want that, it's overly complicated and annoying. Just give me the option to drag a player off and drag a player on whenever I need - simple. When the player is on, his timer runs, when the player is off it stops. 2. No obvious way of getting the stats out ? Why can't I email or save the players stats of time on pitch? 3. Would be good to be able to mark player injury. I.e. Subbed because of injury With these few changes I would use it, as it is it's a bit too complicated and cumbersome to use. Or I'm missing something - in which case some help would be good Thanks! ### 3/5 — Works well, but... *2017-05-19* When you close the app, you lose all your players and settings. Very frustrating. **Developer response:** That doesn't seem right. Could you please update to the latest version and see if that helps? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice clean app *2023-06-18* This app is great for managing my kids games. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Super simple and very helpful *2019-11-07* A great app. I’ve used it for two years now to manage substitutions for the sports teams I coach. The countdown feature to the next sub is great, as when the kids ask when they are due to go on I just show them the timer. Thanks for developing this app. ### 5/5 — Possible update *2019-10-07, version 1.6.4* Hi there would it be possible to give players a group so we could have forwards and backs thus making sure the app only subbed a forward for a forward and so on. Many thanks Steve Ps we love the app ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2019-06-01* Used for kids rugby team and made it so much easier to manage who was due to come on and off and ensuring equal game time. Only suggestion is letting game timer keep ticking over after it gets to zero as games can run longer due to injury time etc ### 5/5 — Nice app! *2018-09-29* Very useful app for this first time coach especially since I have a hard time remembering names. ### 5/5 — Good ux well designed *2018-03-21* Works well ### 5/5 — Tremendous updates-great for rec sports *2017-08-10* This app is awesome for coaches that need to sub in players based on equal playing time and variable players. No more spreadsheets or various concoctions of player lineups. This manages time, subs, total time and now injuries. If I could only ask for one thing it would be a BACK button incase you accidentally hit the sub in button, or after you hit the sub in, a player decides they don't want to play anymore. You can drag them, sometimes that can be a bit confusing because it throws the rotations out of whack. But this is awesome for being free, no ads, and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-04-02* Cool app. Will try it out on the next game. Could you add something like a 2 letter abbreviation for position the current on field players has and when substituting the new player acquires that abbreviated position ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-03-27* Simple and effective! Thank you! ### 4/5 — Remove the last update please *2026-06-14* The app was great before the latest update 2 days ago. Please undo the update. The app is practically unusable now. Can not move players around now, say if someone gets injured or someone wants to come off it won’t let you swap the player into any position on the roster. You can only move them to the bottom of the list. Keeps glitching. Please return to how it used to work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
