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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Love it without glitches *2013-11-24, version 4.1.2* Good app but needs to work out glitches!!! -players will erase but lines stay on the screen -lines will stay on the screen from previous formations, messes up new plays -animation doesn't work properly ### 4/5 — Coach *2013-08-18, version 4.0.2* App is great for animation. Chalkboard needs an eraser ### 4/5 — Overall Good *2013-02-25, version 4.0.2* Would be helpful to: send whole playbook via email, have access to some historical play books for reference. Great features, but still has some bugs. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — Help *2013-02-06, version 4.0.2* Got play books made can't save to network or make new play books I don't want to delete app and redownload fearing I will lose my plays help ### 2/5 — Got stuck *2013-01-05, version 4.0.1* Tried to color routes and app would not let me exit out. Tried everything and finally had to delete app. Hopefully bug will get fixed! ### 3/5 — Play sharing needed *2012-08-19, version 3.2.1* This app is a creative thought and could be really great with some enhancements. Doesn't work well in iPhone which is why sharing between devices is needed. The email and photo gallery option is cool but if we could create, save, and share the animation that would make this $8 app much more intriguing. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2012-08-13, version 3.2.1* It's faster to just draw it out on paper It takes too long to set everything up! ### 4/5 — Overall best playbook app yet *2012-08-05, version 3.2.1* I used the lite version and with in hours I knew I wanted to full version. This app is easy to use and would be 5 stars if I could export the whole playbook as a PDF not just one play at a time as an email or screen cap. ### 3/5 — Good could be great *2012-08-04, version 3.2.1* If this app had a bluetooth option to send plays to other app owners, and the ability to save different play books, 5 stars! ### 3/5 — Wont Save Notes *2012-07-10, version 3.1.1* I think its great. Could be an outstanding app, but it wont save my notes ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Poor update *2013-10-09, version 4.1.1* Loved this app until the update. Crashes all the time now and lost several plays right after saving them. Routes stick on the screen and won't erase. The D was in letters only and was a great contrast to the O players before. Now they are in circles just like the O. When in black & white or emailed it's hard to tell the difference between O & D characters. Please go back to the old one so I can change my review back to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2013-10-06, version 4.1.1* Great ap until update, now crashes and does not save plays....should have left it alone. Can't use anymore because unreliable which a coach can not have! ### 1/5 — Matt *2013-01-05, version 4.0.1* This is the best football app ever for about 5 minutes. By the 6th minute it freezes and the bugs take over. I am frustrated more than normal because it is so close to being great. Fix the bugs and you have a great app!!! ### 1/5 — I wish it worked right *2012-07-11, version 3.1.1* Jus got it and it's already sticky want open up y help ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — My plays are gone.. *2013-10-06, version 4.1.1* I did the latest update and all of my plays are gone now... I am giving you 5 starts because the app is great. If this is not fixed, I will have to change that to 1 star. Without confidence that my plays are not going to get lost the app is worth nothing. AND you will need to refund my money. You have a real good thing here but will lose it all if you do not fix this problem. Thank you ### 5/5 — Outstanding App *2013-05-01, version 4.0.2* As a youth coach I'm constantly looking for ways to reduce my prep time and for ways to make instruction more meaningful. We only get 6 hours per week with our kids and this app makes sense. The kids these days play so many games that they probably understand this better than a static paper play card. If you are a youth coach, or High School, this is a must have app. I have used Playmaker pro, playbook pro, and coaches office playbook suite, this was the easiest to use and took less than 5 minutes to orient myself to operate it efficiently! ### 5/5 — Great App *2013-01-20, version 4.0.2* Please add the ability to email a whole playbook as a PDF instead of just on play at a time as jpeg. ### 5/5 — Great App for coaches *2013-01-13, version 4.0.1* I coach football and this app is a huge help for scouting and drawing up plays....now we need you to team up with hudl so I can watch tape and record plays at same Time!!!!! Make it happen!!! ### 5/5 — Best football app- period!! *2012-11-22, version 4.0* I'm a high school coach in Florida and we started using this app over the summer- now in the second week of playoffs I can tell you that this has made "scout" team preparation so much easier and communication between our coaches on what we want to run much easier then just using paint or power point- very much worth the money for this app- - and the new email update is great, if you want a app made by people who CARE, then buy this app- I have not seen customer service like theirs with any app on this store - thank you coachme football!! ### 5/5 — Best App to date *2012-09-09, version 3.2.1* This play book app is outstanding. With a few more features it could also be a killer scouting app. I was able to scout an entire game (solo - with wife) with this app. It may not be designed for that, but it really does a nice job of charting plays and formations. Anyone who doesn't give this app 5 stars compared to what's out there is kidding themselves. This App is well designed and can be a great teaching tool for plays! Well worth the $8! ### 5/5 — Quite an excellent football app! *2012-04-17, version 3.1.1* Great coaching app for iOS devices, would very much recommend it to any football coach! ### 5/5 — Excellent game! *2012-04-15, version 3.1* This is a powerful app that gives you the tools you need to become more efficient, productive and take your game to the next step ### 5/5 — Coach Me Football Edition Pro *2012-04-15, version 3.1* This application have friendly interface, easy to use. I like using it to show my football team. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
