Needs a few additional features, but overall great
I’ve been using Playmaker X for 5 seasons in overall, it is the best budget, friendly option for drawing up, plays, and visually demonstrating routes.
One feature, that would be a huge improvement Would be the ability to stop or pause a route for 1-5 seconds to improve play progressions. This would be especially useful for routes like screens, stop and goes, and wide receiver, concepts that require the players moves sequentially. This would fit perfectly in the speed +/- tool.
Right now, my only work around is to draw short movements back-and-forth to delay that route, but more often than not it leaves my players, wondering why their icon looks like it’s having a seizure before finishing it route.

Great app but need more functionality
Love the app. I created our whole playbook in a few hours. Minor issues: The app needs custom zoom printing versus preset percentages. 25% could mean someone gets cut off or too small. Need a toggle for how many players on the field without creating a new playbook. Other apps do this already. Bug fix: Need to fix locking up when making multiple prints. For example: I print wristbands and the try to print call sheets. Sometimes the call sheets page gets locked up. I have to restart the app.

Helpful - room to grow
Would love an option to draw drills! Having a subsection for drill design and practice planning would be invaluable. Even just the same play layout with some pylons and slightly larger field view.
Lack of Customization
There needs to be options to rearrange route trees, etc. I’ve tried every method possible and you cannot create your own or re-number. (We have younger kids that don’t need to learn a significant amount yet, but would like to keep the same numbering system as the older group to make it easier as they grow and transition. Unfortunately, this app doesn’t support that.)

Love this app for play design!
