Offline trouble

I love how easy this app makes subbing and tracks time played. Unfortunately many features will not work on actual game day if you have no internet connection such as changing to second half, tracking shots and goals etc. But still useful for subs. Review Update: Thanks for reply, the new app updates are great and are solving my complaints, please keep them coming. Would love the option to create custom formations outside of your presets. This app is great!!

Response from developer

Thanks for updating your review, Starrman20! We're glad the offline fixes helped. We've added custom formations: open a game, tap Formation, then Create formation. Name your layout, drag positions, and edit labels and roles. Saved formations work offline too. When connected to Magic Lineup, ChatGPT or Claude can create and save custom formations for you too. Update to the latest App Store version and reopen Magic Lineup to pick it up. Please keep the ideas coming! Shake your phone on the relevant screen to open feedback with a screenshot, or use Settings > Help & feedback > Send feedback.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest review, and glad subbing and time tracking are working for you. You're right, older versions didn't handle game day without signal well. Goals and switching halves could fail. We rebuilt how live games save in version 1.7.2, so now everything stores on your phone and syncs once you're back online. If you're on the newest version, your next game should just work. If anything still fails without signal, email us at support@magiclineup.com and we'll jump on it.
