### 4/5 — Great for the price

*2026-07-23, version 4.0.19*

I love it.   Let’s me create plays and share them.  Only wish you could zoom out on the field view to give more room.  With 7 players the area you have to design the ;lay gets pretty crowded.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-10-18, version 4.0.19*

Makes you buy it once you open

### 4/5 — App is great

*2024-08-17, version 4.0.19*

Y’all can’t find a way to put 3 wrist play ( 24plays)  on one page so it don’t waste so much paper. Every time I cut plays it’s soooo much paper

### 2/5 — Very slow

*2024-05-29*

Trying to design plays but the app reacts slow. Moving a position is so much delayed. Need to wait a couple of seconds till the change is displayed or even the functions do not even work. Like creating a zone or route.

**Developer response:** Hi coach - this sounds like a device memory / performance issue that might be cleared up with a device reboot. If that doesn't do the trick, email me at support@flagfootballplaymaker.com and I'd be happy to troubleshoot with you.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay for pro

*2024-04-16*

I paid for the pro version and its capabilities are very limited. I am trying to organize plays to have them in order and it will not allow me. It wanted me to go to playmaker x and then pay for the subscription so if you’re wanting more customization my thoughts are paying for the pro here is a moot point and you should just pay for the subscription on playmaker x. I am VERY disappointed.

**Developer response:** Hi coach. Custom play ordering is an important feature that is functional in both of our apps, both this HD app and the new X app. It sounds like some of the other features of our newer app might be a better fit for you, but I can offer some help with play ordering if you'd like to give this HD app another try. If you email me at support@flagfootballplaymaker.com I can give you a hand with that.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-03-11*

This app is amazing I use it for my team and it just works so well with a lot of plays and organization but I have one thing can you please make it where you can search for plays kinda like search for a specific play in a playbook other than that amazing app

**Developer response:** I'm glad to hear you like the app's organization and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about search. Have a great season!

### 5/5 — WOW, Just WOW!

*2023-08-21*

I purchased this app awhile ago and used it for our flag football team. I LOVE it’s simplicity and print options for different size wristbands. 

I ended up not being able to get the app on my new phone as it would not restore the purchase and was so afraid of loosing my playbooks I never upgrade my ipad…I know, dumb right, but the best part of this app was shown through its support. Jeremy helped troubleshoot this with me and BOOM, it works on my phone and I can finally change some plays around so other teams stop memorizing our plays  LOL 

If you are looking for an amazing app to build plays for offence and defence I highly HIGHLY recommend this app. WELL worth the money.

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use

*2023-03-31*

This is a great app, it’s going to be the second year I use it, and it makes my life much easier to coach the kids.

One feature I’d like to see added, I’d like to be able to move the line of scrimmage up and down when creating an offensive play. When I stack 3 running backs behind the QB there isn’t enough room to put them there. Being able to move the line of scrimmage would easily resolve this issue.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind feedback. I'm glad you like the app and appreciation you sharing your thoughts about a movable line of scrimmage. I hope your next season is a good one!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2021-09-23*

Good app does a really good job for my touch and flag leagues. Only thing is that I bought the app 4 plus years ago and now it’s saying I don’t own it

**Developer response:** Hi coach - I'm glad you like the app. There's a way to restore your original purchase so you don't have to pay again, and I'd like to help you with that. Email me at support@flagfootballplaymaker.com and I'll get you set up.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-09-07, version 4.0.19*

Great app and amazing support!
