### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-09-28, version 3.1.13*

Hi Guys, first off thank you for making such a great app, I've been looking for something like this for a while and has really helped me with coaching (better then pen and paper 😂).

Got a few suggestions like adding a undo button in case of a mistake. 

Anyways thank you for making a great app and thank you very much!

### 5/5 — Great Product

*2018-10-30, version 3.1.3*

Hey guys. This is a great program. Easy to use. Stats are great to show the team how they are going. My only suggestion would be to add an attendance tracker for training and a training format in list form to catch kpis for player development and improvements. Well done.

### 3/5 — Hard to learn. Hard to use.

*2018-05-28, version 3.1*

My initial review was a bit critical. This app is not intuitive to learn. A bit frustrating. After I spent a day (literally a full day) playing around with it, I almost have it figured out. It’s a big learning curve. The instructions are Ok, but you will be guessing a lot until you get used to it. Instructions like, “Tap on the games button”, without showing which of the many hieroglyphs on the screen is the games button, are useless. Please put a pic of the button in the instructions. 

There is no back button if you make a mistake. Please put an undo button in, and make it an unlimited undo. 

Things are initially hard to find. Screens hidden deep within other screens. It’s like a treasure hunt trying to find the screen you need. 

You need a save button, especially when the game is playing. I had to finish a game early but couldn’t find a way to end the game without deleting everything. 

I know you have the bar under the player indicating game time, but I would find it handier to have dots. If I divide each quarter into 3 for rotations, that gives me 12 periods. 12 dots under each name, each dot relating to a rotation period,  instead of a bar would show me how many periods that player has been off for, and when. The bar is not as accurate. At the moment, when setting up rotations you have to go back through each game screen to see when they were last rotated and how much time they have spent on the bench.

Overall, after the learning curve, I like it.
