### 3/5 — Can you please add Refresh Button

*2026-02-13, version 1.3.3*

Please add refresh button… Thank you for updating the app to be usable. There is room for improvement but the major bugs were squashed.

### 2/5 — What!!!

*2025-10-19, version 1.3.2*

Used to work, update bricked it

### 2/5 — Declining functionality

*2025-05-07, version 1.1.0*

This app used to run smooth with no issues. Now, getting it to function without a bug takes a miracle. I use this to track my teams and my son’s team, 3 in total. I cannot recall the last time all 3 teams populated on my Home Screen at the same time. Don’t see the team you’re looking for, kill the app and open it again and different teams show. When you select a team and view the schedule, don’t try to go back. The back button is all but unclickable. Better killing the app and hoping your team is still there when you reopen. They really need to address the bugs in this app

### 3/5 — Back arrow 😬

*2024-05-26, version 1.1.0*

When will that back arrow get fixed so I can actually go back a screen without exiting from the app?!?

### 3/5 — Good but has some bugs

*2023-09-23, version 1.1.0*

No one on our team can delete an old team from list. The the lines on the top don’t work because the app won’t let us click it and when changing screens we have to get all the way out of app because it won’t let us go back!

### 3/5 — No Sense

*2023-03-12, version 1.1.0*

It is easy to do teams but I can’t do games

### 3/5 — Great when it works right

*2022-05-09, version 1.1.0*

Never had had issues with the app until recently.   I have 2 boys playing and I constantly have to refresh and close out the app for both teams to show on the app.  There’s time when no team is showing, even though I’ve added them numerous times.   Would be great if we could get an update and stop this from happening.

### 2/5 — Decent app but why can’t it be updated for the new iPhone

*2022-02-01*

I like the app, keeps stats, standings, and roster are great features but it doesn’t seem to be optimized for the new iPhones or IOS because the back button in the top left corner is too high and the whole bottom on the screen isn’t able to be utilized as if there is a notch at the bottom like the old iPhones.

### 2/5 — Something is better than nothing

*2021-10-16, version 1.1.0*

I have multiple teams to keep track of and it'd be nice to have an overview of the day... or a way to export to calendar. 

The back button is stupidly hard to connect with.

For a simple app... Didn't seems like the devs use the app

### 2/5 — No Calendar Link

*2021-09-16, version 1.1.0*

Really need to add a way to add games to a calendar.

### 2/5 — It deleted my team

*2019-10-16, version 1.0.6*

Every time I get on I have to renter my teams, it deletes then every time. Very frustrating.

### 2/5 — So frustrating

*2019-09-21, version 1.0.6*

This app has potential, but I get so frustrated at having to constantly add the teams that I’ve already added a dozen times before. Also, as I need to add multiple teams under the same club, it would be nice if I could just type in the club and click on all teams needed instead of having to go through the process for every single team. It looks like this has been a problem for awhile, so maybe you guys should actually get it fixed.

### 2/5 — Developer doesn’t fix major bugs

*2018-09-22, version 1.0.6*

This is a fairly good app but it has some known bugs and I can’t understand why they have not been addressed. First and foremost, when you add tour team, they disappear the next day and you have to re- add them again. Super frustrating and a core capability. Folks have been writing about this for a year. How is that not fixed yet. My other issues are minor. Get this fixed and I would be a 5 star reviewer!

### 3/5 — Have to add team every Time!

*2018-09-13*

It’s a great app except every time I open it, I have to re-add my team. Frustrating!

### 2/5 — Reformat roster

*2018-06-10, version 1.0.6*

Numbers are cut off for names longer than a few characters. Can’t tell the players from the fans without a decent roster. Seems like it should be an easy fix?

### 1/5 — The worst.

*2025-09-29*

Doesnt work with modern iphones

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We just released an update to address a number of issues. Please reach out to us at support@hockeyshift.com and provide some screenshots and more information about the issues.

### 1/5 — Back function not working

*2025-08-26, version 1.1.0*

Use of the back arrow is virtually unusable or nonexistent.  The only way to efficiently go back to the previous page is to close out of the app and reopen.

### 1/5 — Problems with App

*2025-05-11, version 1.1.0*

What’s happened to it? It used to work but now it’s a disaster.

### 1/5 — Sync to calendar

*2024-09-23*

Have the option to sync schedule to iCal calendar on iPhone.

### 1/5 — Does not work with iPhone

*2024-08-19, version 1.1.0*

The app will not allow me to go back to the previous scree

### 1/5 — Can’t add my team or login

*2023-02-15*

When I open the app, it’s just says “please use the search above to find your team” but whenever I do it won’t show up. And whenever I go on the website, it keeps bothering me about a premium membership, which I don’t need. I just wanna play hockey and manage my team.

### 1/5 — Saved Teams Disappear

*2020-01-17, version 1.0.6*

After saving a favorite team, the next time the app is accessed, any saved team is gone. Very user unfriendly.

### 1/5 — Limited Functionality

*2019-09-02, version 1.0.6*

Almost always have to re-add my team.  No way to proactively download the schedule to IOS calendar??  This is a basic feature on nearly all sports scheduling apps.

### 1/5 — Fix this app

*2019-01-12, version 1.0.6*

This would be a great app that they fix were you don’t have to add your team every time you open the app

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2016-11-27, version 1.0.6*

I have loaded my son's teams about a dozen times this season only to have them wiped out randomly. All software is kept up to date, so that is not the issue.  Other reviews show the same.  So hopefully the Dallas Stars organization will either drop this piece of junk or fix it.   Don't waste your time with the app. Use the website, even though it is more cumbersome.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-01-18, version 1.0.6*

Great App

### 5/5 — I Love This App!

*2019-01-18, version 1.0.6*

This app is so great, it even has roller-hockey schedules. Super useful, and the scores and stats pop up almost immediately. The only bad thing is that the background is black so it’s hard to see for old guys. (Like Coaches)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-12-24*

This is the way a hockey app should work. Flawless

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-11-12*

Great app I'm glad somebody thought to do this

### 4/5 — It got updated!

*2025-10-02*

Thank you for updating the app to be usable. There is room for improvement but the major bugs were squashed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We just released an update to address a number of issues. Could you please ensure you have updated to the latest version?

### 4/5 — Please move the back arrow

*2023-10-08, version 1.1.0*

Love this app! So helpful keeping up with games and stats. BUT the back arrow in the top corner never works! Something about where it is positioned on the phone… I normally have to close the app and start over to check a different page on the app.

### 4/5 — Fix The Top Menu Buttons

*2023-04-05, version 1.1.0*

First, I love the app. Simple design, intuitive layout. Data is there at your fingertips. However, the one thing keeping it from 5 stars in my opinion - the top menu buttons. They are soooo hard to push. Once you drill into another screen, if you want to go back you can either try and push the top left back button 40 times, or just exit and enter the app again. I find it easier to exit and re-enter. 

Please make the top menu a bit easier to use.

### 4/5 — Very helpful

*2021-06-16, version 1.1.0*

Great app to keep track of schedules, stats, etc. would be really great if they added a team chat feature. With so many chat apps available it’s harder than you think to get everyone all on one platform.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2016-12-21*

Love almost everything about this app. That's why I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. The only thing I don't like about this app is that it only works when I'm connected to wifi. Doesn't seem to connect to my cellular data to work. Please fix this and I will be a 5-star happy customer immediately! :)

### 4/5 — Good App

*2015-04-25, version 1.0.2*

Good app, fast, reliable. Easy to find teams. It would be an outstanding app if we could subscribe to an iCal version of the schedule.
