Loaded on iPad in waterproof case and we are good to go for soccer season. At start of game I just show the ipad instead of yelling out eleven positioning instructions. Substitutions are clear and intuitive. The time tracking saves me from looking at the bench and wondering or having to ask who has been sitting the longest. Rec leagues usually require equal play time and with large teams that is an annoying challenge when you are also trying to direct the game. ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-08-11* This app is very simple but that's why it is so good. I've used this app for a season now and will continue to use it next. I tried other apps and found them difficult to use especially when players end up in the wrong positions or you need to quickly sub a player out. The simple nature of this app allows you to quickly make corrections. I also enjoy the freedom to place players down anywhere in any number or formation, this makes Coaches Clock more flexible than other player substitution apps. ### 5/5 — Life Saver *2016-07-28* I have been wracking my brain for a couple days now trying to come up with an easy efficient way of keeping track. I was writing all this down but found myself getting confused and missing important subs etc. This will really help! ### 5/5 — I love this app. Makes running subs for basketball supremely easy!! *2016-05-29* I love this app. Makes running subs for basketball supremely easy!! ### 5/5 — Great app and easy to use *2016-05-21, version 1.2* Very simple quick app to use! Love it! ### 5/5 — Great app for U13 Boys soccer *2014-09-13* This is a really great app. I needed to have a good way to track my subs and how much time players were on the pitch during the game. I discovered the sub mechanism by mistake, and it helped a lot. The first week took some getting used to, but now it works perfectly. Agree with the comment on a way to cancel the substitution assignment, once it's been made. Thanks for building this app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-04-05, version 1.2* Very useful and so easy to set up and use ### 4/5 — Awesome app! *2014-04-05* This is a great app. I thought the timer was broken but it's not. Not only does it keep track of playing time but shows how long a player has been out of the game, which is good to know. Keeping up with my kids playing time is key to our league. So thanks for making this app. ### 5/5 — Best thing ever!! *2014-03-23* As a team manager of a junior football team for the last two years I have spent most of my time on the sideline worrying if I am giving all the kids equal playing time. I've tried a number of systems - alphabetical, pen and paper but always end up confused! And I never really get to watch the game. Managing 2 teams this year I was determined to find a solution. I was SO excited to find this. This is perfect. Thank you Thank you Thankyou!! ### 4/5 — Very useful. Thanks. *2014-01-28* Used it this weekend for our soccer game. Very easy to use. It works as explained. Place players on the field, start the clock, substitute by dragging to another player. Keeps track of total time in, current time in and current time out for each player. Simple, stable and reliable. A few updates would be helpful. Push and hold player to cancel a substitution. Substitutions should not happen when both players are out. Provide a way to save favorite field lineups. Thanks for making this. Great idea! ### 5/5 — Great app, big help to coach. *2013-12-12* Great app! Really nice to be able to tell at a glance how much time each player has spent on the field and how long on resting on bench. It does what it advertises very well. And its reliable and stable. 3 suggestions: 1. Would be nice if game clock ran down instead of up. 2. It's way too easy to accidentally click new game when you try to click new quarter. 3. I would like to be able to click one player, then another one and have the line drawn between them instead of dragging to create the line. ### 5/5 — Must have tool for all soccer coaches! *2013-07-18* This is an awesome tool for all coaches. I would be completely lost without it. Perfect for making sure that all children have an even amount of time on the field and making sure that there's no favoritism. Must have! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App crash *2024-04-03* Absolutely terrible. Paid for the app and downloaded. Opens and then immediately closes again. Deleted and reinstalled, same problem. Deleted, shut down the phone, reinstalled, same problems ### 1/5 — Useless *2016-11-04* Want an auto substitution app ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2012-09-18, version 1.1* Can only drag players at 45 degree angle so they end up on top of each other. Can't drag them anywhere on the field. Wasted $ Try EqualPlay. Way better app that allows better sorting and stats which you can customize. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2011-11-22* Crashes whenever you try and do any sport other then soccer...not worth the money, should provide refund ### 2/5 — Desperately Needs Update *2014-09-22, version 1.2* Stopped resetting time under New Period. Would be useful to have a scoreboard function to allow you to keep score as well as player time. ### 3/5 — Was good, clock stopped working right *2016-04-23, version 1.2* Loved this last season but so far this spring it is not keeping accurate total time per player anymore. ### 4/5 — Great for 2 things *2017-04-29* Works well for tracking time played and remembering the assigned positions which can be tough with younger players. Adding the ability to track goals would be a nice simple addition so a coach could see who scored and when. ### 4/5 — This app needs three things *2016-10-13* Let me turn off seconds display. It's distracting and superfluous. Add an easily-seen counter for the total number of on-field player cycles for each player (configurable to show or not show) Let me erase from the screen (but bring back if needed, during the game) players that are injured or didn't show up (or are really late to practice). ### 4/5 — Simple w/ no extras *2016-10-11* Simple app for players and subs with time. Easy to swap players from sub to active but doesn't track position changes w/ subs . also has a log of all changes during game but not a clean report of total time in/out or any other bells or whistles. Only the basics and very simple ### 4/5 — Update made it very hard to read *2016-09-29* The update changed the text color to black, making it very hard to read. Was a lot easier to read player names in white text. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top app for sub management *2021-09-16* I’ve tried all the soccer/coaching apps, and this one is the very best for managing substitutions in youth soccer games. Here’s why: * Simple interface * Fast performance * Multi-player subs are easy * You can show parents the playing time stats at the end of the game if they complain about their kid’s playing time. ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2020-09-27* I coach without assistants a 9v9 side with 16 ten and eleven year olds. Thank you for saving my sanity with this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-11-17* Love this app. Makes life so much easier to arrange positions and to manage subs. I use it several times a week to manage both junior and senior squads of field hockey. ### 5/5 — Simplicity is beauty *2019-10-26* One of the easiest apps to use that does what I need. If you want to keep track of players’ on field time and make substitutions with ease, this is the app you want. Even the instructions are well written. ### 5/5 — Simple, straightforward, even helpful for the players. *2018-08-17, version 1.3.2* I’ve been using this app for years. Even just recommended it to the Parks and Rec director to pass on. I highly recommend this for game positioning, substitutions and play time. Very simple and straightforward. Can be used for other sports and teams sizes, also, so nice. The players really like it too because they can actually see their positions/substitutions like on a white board, for those who are more visual. I definitely give it 5-stars. Although nearly perfect, I do wish it could keep score. Silly, but it would still be nice. Also, available in the Android store would make it universal to any assistant coaches. And yes, I take my iThings out in the rain. My pocket has done fine drying so far, and Apple hardware is awesome, but they make a good point about carrying a ziplock bag with you. One more thing in the coach’s bag. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-05-05* Thanks for building a simple easy to use app. I coach 2 soccer teams and this has been a lifesaver, especially when I don’t have an assistant to help with clock and sub management. ### 5/5 — Really cool *2017-03-25* Love this app! It makes it so easy keep kids' playing time equal and keep track of who I need to sub. ### 5/5 — simple, no frills way to manage lineups on the fly *2016-11-01* I'll compare contrast to: "coach wizard" and "soccer dad", big difference is that "coaches clock" lets you prep a line up on the fly then do a bulk substitution... which is ideal when you're subbing 5 kids at once. "coach wizard" and "soccer dad", while more feature rich, requires subs to be done one by one which is annoying while the game is going. I wish it did season tabulations, and tracked other stats (like assists, goals, saves, def stops, etc,.... the other apps do that), but for me, I'll take the all-at-once substitutions over stats tracking. ### 5/5 — Great Assistant *2016-10-06* I've been using this for a couple years now for my youth soccer teams. Definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Fantastic, easy to use app *2016-10-02, version 1.2* The coach wanted player times in the field recorded ( we have rolling subs and a big squad) so I tried writing these down and then adding up the times - all very time consuming and inaccurate. So I went looking for an app and found coaches clock which was exactly what I needed - absolutely fantastic, so easy to use and times all there at the end of the game.
