### 2/5 — Great app easy to use however too many bugs in the system

*2025-04-16, version 3.0*

Fantastic app to use ideal for training and for matches i used to the app all the time and it makes it so much easier on a match day then more and more bits of paper however they meed to make an update on the app it is always closing the app and deleting work through a bug in the system  fix this the app will be brilliant

### 5/5 — Excellent resource

*2021-10-04, version 3.0*

I have been using the app for last 6 years and is very user friendly once you navigate your way around building up your sessions etc.
Easy to snapshot and share into groups. 👍

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2020-12-27, version 3.0*

Lack of support, overlapping pictures, paid for this and wish I hadn’t. Used to be brilliant. The developer keeps promising to update but never does. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Update

*2020-07-31, version 3.0*

No update for 2 years, technology has moved on. Please refresh the app

### 1/5 — Thoroughly useless!

*2020-07-16, version 3.0*

Absolutely the worst app I’ve ever had the misfortune to purchase. Nobody more open to new tech and new ideas than me but do yourself a favour and save your money. Crashes every time I use it and let me down every training session. Guess I’ll be reverting back to my old trusty pen and paper!

### 1/5 — Poor. Frustrating app.

*2019-05-31, version 3.0*

Save your slides and coaching points. Open the practice afterwards & only one slide saved. Absolute waste of time...and no support offered. Stay away!

### 1/5 — I am really disappointed

*2018-10-01, version 3.0*

I have used this app in the past and paid £4.99 for it.  I took the plunge today and paid for full access at a cost of £11 ish for six months - what a massive mistake!  I spent all evening creating a practise which consisted of five slides, all with detailed plans of tomorrow’s football session.  I saved after each slide was created.

When I tried to create a session from this I had to choose another practice to go with it (even though I did not need to to because it was all in one practice session) and then was dismayed that only the initial slide was saved (even though earlier I checked and they were all there - I flicked through them all).  On top of that, the one remaining slide that I have will only print some of my notes - I assume that there are too many.

I am left wondering how is this in any way useful?

I very rarely write a review and never a negative one and so I am disappointed to be writing this - I would have emailed the developers before writing this but there seems to be no contact address that actually works on their website.

### 2/5 — Pitch covers up the coaching points

*2018-03-29, version 3.0*

When downloading a session the pitch covers up the coaching points. Also doesn’t let you create a new session from a old practice. Keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Layout issues

*2018-02-12, version 3.0*

Layout is not letting me read coaching points when sharing via email

### 3/5 — 4 Corners

*2017-11-28, version 1.99*

Brilliant app. When emailing my sessions to other coaches i noticed the 4 corner bit was overlapping at the bottom and only showed the first 2 of the 4 corners.
