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. ### 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! ### 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 ### 2/5 — Feel like I wasted my money *2025-04-29, version 1.5.0* Spent A great deal of time designing a play. then, for some reason The playing field zoomed in to only half the field, and I couldn’t see all of the routes .Couldn’t fix the view. The instructions were useless. great in concept, but frustrating to use. ### 5/5 — Outstanding App *2025-04-05* I coach 5v5 youth flag football and this app is incredible. I’ve spent countless hours using it and I still haven’t scratched the surface of all it can do. A must have if you’re a coach that enjoys building your own plays and playbooks. I love that as my sons get older, the app can do 7v7, too. Price is completely reasonable as well. **Developer response:** Thanks for your very kind feedback, coach. The versatility to support multiple play styles (5v5, 7v7 and others) is important to us so thank you for mentioning that. I'm glad you're enjoying building your playbook in the app and hope you have a great season! ### 5/5 — Awesome tool *2025-03-19, version 1.5.0* Being a first time coach for this sport. I def needed help getting started. This app came in handy and the support ### 5/5 — Best app for Coaches by far *2025-01-31* This App is by far the best for creating plays. I used this for flag an 7v7 and also have the tackle app for our tackle team. Can easily create plays, share with the team and draw up new plays. Great app and amazing support! **Developer response:** Thank you coach! I'm glad to hear you like both the flag and tackle apps. Making it easy to create and share plays is important to us and I appreciate your kind feedback about our support. We were happy to help. Have a great season! ### 5/5 — Awesome App + Quick Support *2024-12-10, version 1.5.0* This app is great, the animations help a ton as the kids are able to visualize their individual responsibilities. Designing plays is simple and intuitive and their are options to get really advanced if you are feeling adventurous. Support (Jeremy) responded back quickly with an answer to my question about offline play animations. 100% Recommend! ### 4/5 — We need Chinese Language *2024-10-27, version 1.5.0* GOAT of play book apps,but we need Chinese ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-06-06, version 1.4.0* The best app for football plays. Would love a pause/hold option for players in the backfield to be able to more precisely diagram timing. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny *2024-06-05* I’ve used other playmaking apps before and this one by far is the easiest to custom make plays, custom make playbooks for beating man/zone, or down and distance and the kids love making plays as well. Plus kids who have a hard time understanding assignments can see the play in motion. **Developer response:** Thanks, coach! I appreciate you sharing your experience with our app. The things you mentioned are all very important to us - make things easy for coaches, provide customization and help players to understand their assignments. I hope your next season is fun and meaningful! ### 5/5 — Worth it getting the subscriptions *2024-04-03* It really comes down to how much you value your time. I don’t have time to mess with a Microsoft application to center and squiggle lines. This app is streamlined and the printing options are spot on. The visual route run also gives good visuals on the play. Highly recommend, especially for first time coaches. **Developer response:** Thank you, coach. I appreciate you mentioning the time savings - one of our app's foundational goals is to streamline playbook design and printing so coaches are freed up for coaching. I hope you have a great season! ### 5/5 — Great app for plays! *2024-03-11* I’ve used this app now for 3 seasons and it works perfect. So easy to use and develop plays. Customer service is also excellent! I mistakenly bought a plan for the tackle program instead of the flag program. Jeremy at customer service fixed the problem through email in a matter of minutes. Great company and highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you, coach. I was happy to help with the subscription change and glad to know you've made good use of the app the last few years. Have a great season! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-03-07, version 1.3.0* Works really well. It was exactly what I was looking for. It was better than any other app I've used. ### 5/5 — X *2023-10-14* I absolutely love this app I love everything about it. It is hands and feet down the best playbook app there is. I love all the features and I also love how you can use the app for free too. The playbook feature is awesome the kids love it and I love how you can make a lot of plays and color them and put names on them and everything definitely a 5 star 100% recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you, Tony. I'm glad to hear you like the color coding and player names - we designed those aspects of the app to help our own players learn the plays and really happy that it has been effective with your players, too. I hope you're having a good season! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can only have 9 players on the field. Don’t waste your time *2025-08-02, version 1.6.0* Wasted my time trying to make a little league playbook ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-11-30, version 1.5.0* What’s it doing it won’t even let me get in the stupid app it says I don’t have internet I literally got this app it wouldn’t let me get on deleted the app got it back still wouldn’t let me get on turned off my Wi-Fi turned it back on still wouldn’t let me get on and I have good internet stupid ### 1/5 — Won't work *2024-11-03, version 1.5.0* It says I don't have Internet and have full and already tried re downloading and didn't work. ### 1/5 — Only paid *2024-01-13, version 1.3.0* App is “free” but you need to pay to do anything. Get a one week trial but don’t be duped thinking this is a free app ### 1/5 — Confusing app *2023-01-06, version 1.2.0* This app is very confusing on how to move the player icons on the play editing. ### 1/5 — Still charging me *2022-08-16, version 1.2.0* This app is charging me for a subscription that I canceled, I don’t even have the app and I haven’t had it for months. ### 1/5 — Playbook will not import from Playmaker HD *2021-07-29, version 1.2.0* I have tried multiple times to import my playbook from the original Playmaker app and it keeps giving me the error that the code is invalid. I have followed the step by step guide on YouTube and still bet the same errors. It is useless to me if I can’t import my playbook as I am not going to redraw my whole playbook. A little help would be nice. I have already emailed the support center as well. If they can get it fixed in a timely manner then I would be willing to change the rating but as of right now it is just a waste of my time. ### 1/5 — Can’t even get app to work *2021-05-16, version 1.1.1* I can’t even get to the apps Home Screen cause it won’t let me do anything it’s just a blue frozen screen whenever I opened it ### 1/5 — Fail from the start *2021-01-15, version 1.0.1* Enter invite code, key in all info to create new account, no way to save or enter to actually use the app. Useless without an account. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Feedback *2026-03-08, version 1.6.0* Love this app for play design! ### 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? ### 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! ### 5/5 — Really Enjoying App *2025-08-07* I haven’t tried other apps of this type but for what I need it works great. Love the printout options as well. **Developer response:** Thank you, coach! I'm glad you like the print options and hope you're having a good start to the season. ### 5/5 — Love this app as a coach. *2025-07-11* Been a flag football coach for quite some time now. Rec, Club, and now girls HS. I used Playmaker for some time now and absolutely love it! Another perk was the customer service was super quick to help me fix an issue I cause on my end. I accidentally deleted my entire playbook and they were able to restore it quickly to save the day. Easy to navigate plus great and fast customer service. **Developer response:** Hi coach. I appreciate you taking the time to share your kind feedback about the app and support. I'm glad we were able to help. It has been fun to see the growth of the high school game - I hope your Fall season is a good one! ### 5/5 — Simple - Efficient *2025-07-07, version 1.5.0* Coaching Flag Football teams. This app is a game changer for any coach at any level. For those volunteering in youth leagues you won’t regret downloading and using this resource. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-04-09, version 1.5.0* All of my coaches have used this app and said it was amazing. i downloaded it when i was starting my own flag football team and it's been incredible. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
