### 4/5 — Helpful - room to grow

*2026-04-13*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, coach. I'd love to see a drill designer added, also. It's something we've been discussing here for awhile, so every vote for that addition helps! Have a great season.

### 2/5 — Lack of Customization

*2026-03-27*

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.)

**Developer response:** Hi coach. Good news! The app already allows you to rearrange and add your own routes to the route tree. If you email me at support@flagfootballplaymaker.com I'd be happy to show you how those features work.

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2026-03-08, version 1.6.0*

Love this app for play design!

### 4/5 — good

*2026-02-08*

if i have to be honest im a big fan of this as a coach this app lets me do lots of things with players offense and defense i do infact like the Team color and playbook also i can use a team an out my players in, it feels very personal and i love it. however it does cost money to use, i would wish that it would be free but not give the same benefits, give one week of premium then after that u can get a lesser version. but that is my honest review

**Developer response:** Thank you, coach. I'm glad you like the team color and customization features. You're right that this is a paid app - we do that so we can continue to support coaches and make improvements. I want to be sure you know about our Offseason Mode - if you don't need to use the app year-round, you can pause your subscription for the offseason and we'll store everything in the cloud free up to 12 months so your playbooks are there when you need them next season. I hope you're having a great season!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-01-31, version 1.6.0*

I’ve been using the app for a couple yrs and it’s great. When will we have an Apple Watch version?

### 3/5 — Good.. but

*2025-12-27, version 1.6.0*

I just wanna use the app without it costing money, I’m a kid and play backyard football with my friends and I wanna continue using this app.. just without the heavy costs of like 17 bucks

### 5/5 — Undefeated Season 2025

*2025-12-21*

Coaching flag football 11-15 y/o for two years. Last season I made a verbal play calling system, which was difficult for all of the kids to retain. It also limited the number of plays. This year I used Playmaker X to create 18 plays and print them to wristbands. This saved a ton of practice time. Their positions are color-coded, so they just have to do what the play card says. That way, I could make more complex plays and spend practice time working on timing and skills.

**Developer response:** Congrats on your season, coach! I'm so glad to hear that the diagram-based wristbands were effective with your team. I've found the same practice time savings and clarity with my teams, too. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

### 5/5 — Best Flag Football App

*2025-12-10, version 1.6.0*

Great user experience and customer service was prompt

### 5/5 — Easy Play Making

*2025-12-07, version 1.6.0*

The way you can make plays, modify plays, make little tweaks in nomenclature, etc….its amazing.

### 5/5 — Coach Life

*2025-11-11*

I use the FF Playmake X app every coaching season, at 1st takes a little time to get use to, then find the use easy to fit my play design and printing needs, it accommodates wristbands different window size and has a automation to help see the routes in motion in case adjustment needed to avoid player collision. It’s worth it. Also, support services, Jeremy was helpful to help with cleaning multiple profiles I created in one account thank you

**Developer response:** Hi coach. It was nice to meet you over email and I'm glad I was able to help with your account. Thanks for your kind feedback about the app! It's good hear that you find it easy and useful for printing. I hope you're having a great season!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-06-30

As a coach, you know that what people see on game day represents just a small fraction of the personal investment you make in your team, club or program. The behind-the-scenes work isn't flashy, but it's essential to operating a team. The Operator Update has something for all our coaches, whether you're the leader of a multi-team club or high school program, a play caller designing and organizing playbooks, or a solo volunteer using Playmaker in the huddle.

Multi-Team Management

• Central location for viewing status of all teams, managing subscriptions and transferring team ownership.
• Delete old, unused teams that you created.
• Remove yourself from teams you were invited to join but no longer need.
• Easier to create multiple teams - no more "log out and back in" workaround.
• When you log back into the app at the end of offseason or on a new device, you'll see a full list of your teams to make it clearer which team you want to load before renewing.
• Clearer highlight in the main menu to show which team you currently have loaded.

Playbooks

• When using the app out in the field, it was too easy to accidentally reorder plays in the gallery. This caused problems when the app was out of order with player wristbands. Sorting is now locked by default and can be unlocked temporarily when you actually want to rearrange plays.
• Category edit button was too hard to discover. Moved it to the sidebar footer and added a label.
• Playbook imports and transfers now include any opponent icons/routes added on the original diagrams.

Play Diagram Fields

• 7v7 playbooks: with the girls high school game growing and evolving, we've added all of the standardized field options prescribed in the recent national rules update. In addition to our previous field options, now you can choose from 40x80, 40x100, 53.3x80 and 53.3x100 high school flag football-specific fields with and without hashmarks.
• All playbooks: new background option with 5 yard lines that include yardage depth indicators (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.) displayed on the left and right.

Fundamentals

• Improved clarity on the minimal required info when adding a team member to the roster.
• Corrected a sizing error with the 3.75" wristband width option. 
• Refined some icons and other visual elements.
• Resolved an issue with iOS safe areas taking up too much space on some devices.
• Other bug fixes & performance improvements.

Playmaker is designed to get your best plays on the field efficiently and to maximize player comprehension. With this update we’ve introduced bulk play categorization to make organizing and printing wristbands and call sheets faster and with more style options than ever before.

On play diagrams, you can now assign custom colors to text annotations to visually link them to position icons. We’ve also made play position notes easier to edit and view in the app with our new auto sizing text boxes.

• New wristband print styles for large format inserts including 9, 10, 12 & 15 plays per panel
• New call sheet print styles for better parity with wristband plays per panel
• Apply custom colors to text annotations
• Multi-select plays in gallery mode
• Bulk assign plays to categories in gallery and list modes
• When you reopen diagram toolbars, they’ll appear where you left them
• Auto sizing text boxes for position notes
• Other performance improvements

### 1.5.0 — 2024-07-23

• Detail improvements for all on-screen and printed diagrams
• Improved offline behavior 
• Other performance improvements

### 1.4.0 — 2024-05-17
