### 2/5 — Great until subscribed

*2026-05-30, version 6.7.1*

The app works good, however, a subscription to watch live games only ever takes me to NFHS when I click “Live.”  What am I paying for on maxpreps if it redirects me to NFHS?  Why can’t it keep the livestream on maxpreps, or let me watch on NFHS since I am subscribed to maxpreps.

### 4/5 — Very good app, could use some tweaks

*2026-05-26, version 6.7.1*

Very good app! I usually do some reporting for my school, basketball. Football works too, but when it comes to baseball, soccer, etc., the scoring just doesn’t work. My second complaint isn’t all that much of a deal, but i feel like having a limited amount of team sports you can follow is a bit redundant, especially if you are “loyal”, per se, to multiple schools. However, those two complaints are the only ones i have, so this app is very useful regardless!

### 1/5 — 80% Accuracy

*2026-05-02, version 6.7.0*

20th century Newspapers were more accurate reporting box scores and statistics from High School events than MaxPreps.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-04-10, version 6.7.0*

First of all, nobody wants to create yet another log-in in this day and age. If there was ever an app crying out for “Log-in with …”, it’s this one, a high school sports app.  Second, I’ve never seen an app use as much data as this one. I have auto play “off” for videos, and it’s still somehow chewing up MBs like crazy.

### 2/5 — Need full screen mode for ipad

*2026-04-02, version 6.7.0*

Please make this app display in full screen mode for ipad

### 3/5 — Not Interactive

*2026-02-12, version 6.6.9*

My grandson is a junior and moved to Whitewright, TX. He’s the starting point guard and the app does not let me add him for basketball - cause the database doesn’t list his name, I guess. He is listed as an athlete in football for Whitewright. Basketball is his main sport. There is no apparent way to communicate with anyone at MaxPrep.

### 1/5 — Alerts

*2026-02-09, version 6.6.9*

No one needs updates at 4:30 am on the West Coast. What genius thinks is a good idea to update rankings and send alerts at 7:30 am on Monday morning on the East Coast, let alone 4:30 am on the West Coast? 
I had to turn off notifications because of this utter nonsense. But now won’t get any notifications.

### 5/5 — Grades available

*2026-01-23, version 6.6.8*

The app is one step f the best and I really recommend it but should add middle school teams.

### 5/5 — Courtney

*2026-01-21, version 6.6.8*

Worst app ever it keeps  freezing up when I try to add a new high school football team

### 2/5 — Articles don’t show

*2026-01-17, version 6.6.8*

When you click on the articles, it’s just a blank page. The articles won’t even pop up anymore in the app.
