### 1/5 — Help

*2020-10-27, version 5.1.1*

Is this app no longer being serviced. Can’t get help anywhere.

### 1/5 — Once was great

*2018-10-16, version 5.1.1*

Seems to be a completely unsupported app now. Many bugs are killing the usefulness and rendering it unusable.

### 1/5 — Erases players when saving

*2018-05-18, version 5.1.1*

I created an 11 person offensive play nut when I save it ,it erases my 2 WR. I put them back and click save again then it erases my running backs. If your charging $10 for an app it should work properly

### 2/5 — Coach me blank

*2016-02-23, version 4.2.0*

It keeps crashing and going blank

### 5/5 — Best app but no support

*2015-11-03, version 4.1.9*

I've had this app for years and it's by far the best app for coaching out there. The only problem is that there is no way to report bugs. I haven't had a serious issue with bugs ever until now which is why I'm still giving this 5 stars

### 1/5 — No support, loaded with bugs, empty promises

*2015-09-14, version 4.1.7*

Just started using this before this year's season.  Drew up some of my team's plays, liked the idea of having the teenage players use this to learn since they are all on they're devices all the time anyway.  However, I ended up spending countless hours on my own trying to figure out how to get a team up and running on the network and apps.  I waited days for responses to what should have been very easy questions to answer.  And when I did get responses, they were canned answers with empty promises. I felt like I was debugging their system for them.

I had to apologize to my coaches, players and their parents.  It ended up looking like me making empty promises because I could not deliver on what coachme claimed it could do.

Examples of the type of support I got:
Was told there was a drop down menus where there weren't 
Was told there was a faster better version coming soon fixing all the bugs I was fining.  Never  came out.
Before finally giving up, I pleaded for some last minute help.  Nothing.  You'd think during football season, they would have round the clock support.  Nope.

Like the concept, but will not using coachme in the future.  I am now looking for providers that do what they claim and have good support.  I wanted to put this review out for coaches thinking about using coachme right now to save you from what I went through.

### 4/5 — Please Fix/ Add

*2014-08-26*

Please fix it when you toss or hand off the football it trails behind the player while they move (especially if they are in motion).

Also if you can add a little line next to the player that you can move them by. I have the app for my phone, so when I go to move the player I can't really see where I put it because my finger covers it.

Please also fix crash where plays become mixed up and routs delete.

Also if you can add in undo button. That way if you get a route just the way you like it and you accidentally click on the player and loose it, you can get it back. Also if you drop your phone (it shakes) and you loose your play; It would be nice to just press undo and the play reappears.

### 1/5 — Glitchy as all Hell!

*2014-08-22, version 4.1.4*

App told me the default 'My Playbook' was not updating and asked to delete. It deleted my play book with a different name that I had spent 12 hours building. Notes save menu is all jacked up.

### 3/5 — Fix the bugs!

*2014-08-08, version 4.1.4*

I save my plays and formations, and when I go back to the play, all the player positions are scrambled around.  Nothing looks right.  I have to go back and re-create the play and save it again.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2014-06-30, version 4.1.4*

Not a very good app. Does not always save your plays or the notes from those plays.
