It adds a date stamp with the day I changed the event, but the time is like 7 hours ahead of the time when I made the change. It’s very confusing for parents and athletes. ### 2/5 — Below average *2026-04-02, version 5.9.3* Not Intuitive. Difficult to find what you are looking for. ### 2/5 — App *2025-09-04, version 5.9.3* It’s not easy to manage nor easy to chat with others or make a group chat ### 1/5 — Confusing and Slow *2025-04-07, version 5.9.3* Confusing instructions and slow results. My account is still pending with no action or updates ### 3/5 — Works, but clunky and too many ads *2025-03-10, version 5.9.3* This app is functional and no more or less so than the other alternatives out there but the UI is very clunky, setting up payment options is a little convoluted. The main complaint is that the ads have become extremely obtrusive. Obviously the app is ad supported and there is the option to remove ads but the extend that ads are shown is significantly more than other ad supported applications I have used. From being an Instateam user for several years I can say that the use of ads used to be more balanced and is much worse now. It makes the app almost impossible to use and not easy to recommend. ### 1/5 — Credit card need *2025-03-09, version 5.9.3* Not sure why you need a credit card to communicate with a school function ### 1/5 — Calendar not showing all events *2025-02-21, version 5.9.3* Not showing complete events, make it useless ### 1/5 — PHISHING SCAM ALERT *2025-01-12, version 5.9.3* Downloaded for my kids soccer. Deceptive ad on the bottom of the app screen got me with a “start” button that looked legit. It immediately asked for my credit card info. The redirect also looked pretty close to the app design too. But it was a pretty clever ploy for my PII. Too clever for the app makers not to know. I will NEVER EVER use this app again. ### 1/5 — Worst app in history if team apps *2024-11-16, version 5.9.3* It is difficult to join and it is a loop of horror trying to get my wife on. It keeps trying to ask for a credit card and gps and does not let her in. ### 1/5 — Slow *2024-10-14, version 5.9.3* So slow and glitching ### 1/5 — Désolant *2024-09-11, version 5.9.3* Pas d’option de le mettre en français ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-08-27, version 5.9.2* Can’t sign up because they never send your verification email. I’ve requested it over 100 times for 2 different emails. Please fix your software it’s terrible ### 1/5 — Item cart *2024-08-05, version 5.9.2* This site is terrible, u cannot erase items from cart.. please fix this issue ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Annoying app *2026-08-23, version 5.9.3* Not very logical interface. Can’t save notifications settings to prevent email notifications without turning on notifications in Apple settings. ### 1/5 — Update email address *2026-08-18, version 5.9.3* I have input new email more than 3x and was told to look for confirmation email in inbox. It doesn’t show up. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-23, version 5.9.3* Really bad ### 1/5 — HD HD *2026-06-13, version 5.9.3* Heheh ### 1/5 — Porn-ish strip on bottom always appears! *2026-06-04, version 5.9.3* Ok ### 1/5 — Pure hate *2026-03-23, version 5.9.3* I hate this app. There are so many better ways to communicate with your team. It forces you to watch 30 second commercials for every 5 clicks you make on it. Garbage. Find something else. ### 1/5 — Update *2025-11-09, version 5.9.3* I love the app but it needs some major updates an refresh. It can force close a couple mid post as well . ### 1/5 — Zero customer support *2025-09-03, version 5.9.3* I have reached out multiple times over the last 3+ YEARS! No one will help cancel my subscription. Already contacted Apple and my bank, but still get billed years later. Not worth the trouble. ### 1/5 — Not great *2025-06-08, version 5.9.3* Too many adds, tries to make you put in credit card info, and just doesn’t seem to work well. ### 1/5 — Glitches Galore *2025-05-13, version 5.9.3* Our entire team is having issues with receiving notifications. Some of us are having issues getting messages at all. This has left our children to show up to practices with no coach because we were never relayed the message of a cancelation. That app is causing a lot of problems and it’s extremely frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Only review that matters. *2026-04-10, version 5.9.3* My wife says this app is better than another we have used. ### 5/5 — It’s helps me with my games popooos *2025-12-12, version 5.9.3* It helps with a lot of fein fein ### 5/5 — Easy to manage app *2024-11-19, version 5.9.3* I cannot express enough joy of having this app. It’s great and easy to use. I’ve been using it for over 4 years and highly recommend it. I love it. ### 5/5 — SOFTBALL. *2024-09-17, version 5.9.3* My experience with this app is mid but it dropped 7 points the day my coach messaged Insta team and I had no idea bc insta team doesn't send propped notifications( not a badge on the home screen or on the app it's self) I HAD TO RUN LAPS IN VANS! VANS! 💀 ### 5/5 — Best free sports app *2024-08-31, version 5.9.2* I heard about this app on NJ Soccer group page. I was a little hesitant about it because they said it was free ( nothing is free ) but I tried it. This app is totally free and it’s just like teamsnap. I no longer have to have parents ask me when is practice, when do we have games, where are the games. All information is on the app. Thank you Instateam ### 5/5 — Why Insta team is amazing *2024-08-16, version 5.9.2* I was skeptical of InstaTeam in the past, but it just makes it so easy to give and receive information to and from teammates and coaches. Love the app. ### 5/5 — GOOD *2024-07-04, version 5.9.2* awesome app ### 5/5 — I'm on a team *2024-05-01, version 5.9.0* Yeah ### 5/5 — Communication *2024-03-02, version 5.8.1* Great tool to connect with coaches ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-03-17, version 5.8.1* It helps a lot, so my son and my daughter can connect with the friends without having the phone number in. It is very safe and it helps me connect to my kids as coaches and it helps to let me know when they have a game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
