### 3/5 — Has potential

*2026-09-11, version 18.0.0*

I have used this app for a couple of seasons, it’s not great but equally it’s not the worst out there either. I genuinely think there is a great little app with a few developer changes… 1) sort the loading and comparability issues out, there is a general issue with loading the app and I have found on IOS changes this takes too long and gets frustrating quickly. 2) there has to be an easier way to pre load locations and details about home grounds to make comms easier for grassroots coaches. 3) needs a calendar function so training can be put on there well in advance and cut down on repetition and having to click your way through all the time. 4) change colours/fonts for different things to make things stand out better. 5) make multiple accounts (e.g. a parent who is a coach) flow better as currently way too clunky. 6) make the match function better - if you really think a coach has time to go on the app to live time goals, subs, incidents then the devs need a reality check. 7) inputting stats and ratings after the match - really frustrating experience and this for me personally is where it crashes the most. 8) coach to coach comms capability - would help arranging games if the home ground preload was better (incl location/pitch type/toilets/changing rooms etc) and things like kit colours were included too to save admin in the week.
Hope that helps

### 2/5 — Ok but not useful

*2026-09-10, version 18.0.0*

This really needs the function to sync with device calendars, if you have one child on one team it’s fine. But anything beyond that and it’s not user friendly because you have to switch accounts and can only see one event type at a time. Once there is the sync events (both matches and training) to a calendar and can see more than one child at a time it’ll be 4 probably even 5 star app but until then… and apparently this has been requested for a number of years now too, you can see the feature requests on the website!

### 1/5 — Never works when you need it

*2026-09-07, version 18.0.0*

The app rarely works on a match day,  can’t add or update the squad

### 2/5 — Really disappointing

*2026-09-07, version 18.0.0*

This should be easy to use but it isn’t. I just want to change my address and add my photo but I have to contact my club to do so, which is a massive faff.

### 1/5 — Sort it out

*2026-09-06, version 18.0.0*

How the FA haven’t sorted this app out yet is beyond me. I’ve been a grassroots coach for 4 seasons and it’s literally never worked properly. Still can’t complete match stats after the game. Surely it can’t be hard to fix this- terrible app and wastes so much time trying to administer games.

### 3/5 — App ok for parents and coaches but not too helpful for club secretaries.

*2026-09-05, version 18.0.0*

Is a great idea and fantastic that it links to fulltime. A few things that would help improve the app 1: only add players to the squad that are actually registered and allowed to play and 2: a way for secretaries/chairs even parents with more than one child at each club to be able to see all club fixtures on one page rather than having to keep switching accounts. This would make such a difference and save so much time.

### 1/5 — Password resets dont work

*2026-08-24, version 17.2.0*

Best you remember your password guys…if you forget it and have to get a verification code…the codes dont work one bit. Tried several times. This app is awful
