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! ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Always Problens *2026-01-07, version 6.6.7* To many to name, access denied, change a player and goes back to original info ### 3/5 — Glitches *2025-12-14, version 6.6.6* Please update this app. It’s been unreadable for quite a while now. I couldn’t find anything on Support to file a recommendation. There’s ads or whatever that is blocking half the page. Being where I live, this app is of great interest to me. I miss using it ### 3/5 — What are score boards *2025-08-25, version 6.6.0* How are yall gonna put that our team won 60-35 because that’s what happened and then change the score two days later to tell they lost ### 3/5 — What? *2025-08-23, version 6.6.0* So I checked my football team score against the game we played Thursday and the score was wrong. It got correct that we did win. Oh it bothered me as it said 39 to 32 which was incorrect cause they did not get 32 points. we got 35 points and they got six points. Can someone please fix the scoring system because y’all are getting it wrong ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-05-26, version 6.5.5* Using on an iPad, this is my least favorite app. Obtrusive ads take up the whole screen. You close one ad and another pops up 10 seconds later. Curious if anyone who works at MaxPreps actually uses their own app and doesn’t get frustrated doing so. ### 4/5 — Incorrect score posting *2025-05-25, version 6.5.5* Midlothian’s record is incorrect as posted. Their record is shown as 12-0-4. Their record should be listed as 12-0-3. MaxPreps posted the Atlee score twice. Midlothian only placed Atlee once. The game that was scheduled for May 5th was canceled due to weather. The game was rescheduled for later in the schedule in a game where the score was posted as a 3-3 tie, which is correct. The score was posted as a tie in both the later scheduled games as well as the earlier scheduled game, which is incorrect, as I stated earlier. As I said before, they only played one time. MaxPreps needs to correct this. ### 3/5 — E6 *2025-05-09, version 6.5.4* Decent app but lots of error 406 messages. I understand you need to play the bills, but all the ads & banners fill up 3/4 of the page from top to bottom and there’s very little space to see info, read articles and view stats. Also, the frequent mandatory pop-up ads are so 2002 — they’re worse than an infield fly rule…and the new extra-innings rule to start the inning with a runner on 2nd. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-04-04, version 6.5.1* Glitches everywhere. Garbage support. I have reported issues and never hear anything. Update: I messaged the developer as requested and guess what? NOTHING HAPPENED!😂 What a surprise. Still can’t close out a softball game when it’s over. I guess you have to wait till they decide it’s over.🤷🏼‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Error Code *2025-04-03, version 6.5.1* Keeps saying 406 not acceptable error code when trying to check stats. ### 1/5 — App *2025-03-11, version 6.4.9* App is good for knowing schedule that’s about it. ### 2/5 — Bug *2025-03-01, version 6.4.9* Unfortunately Maxpreps has a cool feature that is the mini-team pages for its app, but it’s got a bad bug on iPhone, everytime I try to open it, maxprep crashes. But everything else is good ### 3/5 — Submitting scores *2025-02-20, version 6.4.9* Is it just me, or before this latest update, the submitting score process was much easier, because now I always get 404 messages with the ref when I try to submit a score. Can someone explain this possible issue. Thanks, Ry ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Video *2025-12-29, version 6.6.6* Won’t let me add videos to my claimed profile ### 1/5 — Who’s stealing my account make sure they don’t come to yall field in my name *2025-12-28, version 6.6.6* Someone stole my football account Kill them ### 1/5 — EXPENSIVE *2025-10-18, version 6.6.5* This app costs money to favorite a team🤯they should just let us do it for free and to watch a game it also costs money, can they just let us watch it for free ### 1/5 — Courtney *2025-10-07, version 6.6.4* Worst app ever it keeps freezing up when I try to add a new high school football team ### 1/5 — Tons of bugs *2025-09-20, version 6.6.3* I’ve had this app crash and error out so many times right in the middle of a game when I’m scoring for the team. Try everything to get it back up and running so the people following online can get the latest updates but then get a “thank you for scoring” message, app ends the game when the actual game isn’t even over. Frustrating when the poor quality of the app screws up everything. ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2025-09-20, version 6.6.3* Friday night during football season is the worst time for this app to stop working! ### 1/5 — App only as good as teams staff *2025-08-14, version 6..5.9* Your lucky if your school even supports this app and enters any info. The biggest peeve of this app is you can’t unfollow someone or a team. If you try you get a message that we’re sorry it can’t do that right now. Time to delete ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — A lot of information *2025-06-09, version 6.5.6* This app is SO informational. It has stats, standings and so much more. It has every school in every state. It has top notch information about every school. This app updates very quick. I definitely recommend downloading this app. ### 5/5 — Going good *2024-09-08, version 6.3.7* I just downloaded the app and at first I was having problems making an account but somehow my wife got it going! And so far so good ### 5/5 — Ranks *2024-06-30, version 6.3.6* This site I really enjoy. I think it would be great if we could communicate with other fans. Also I think it would be great if we could have ranks or levels that we could strive for to be able to do more on the app like bronze, silver, gold, platinum etc…… ### 5/5 — 😭😭😭 *2024-06-08, version 6.3.6* i wont let me join in ### 5/5 — ESKO varsity football team *2021-10-22, version 5.5.0* I really enjoy your recaps. I am a proud mother/ grandmother and have close connections to this team. My son is their defensive coordinator. I have 3 grandson’s who play also on this team. Mason #30 (senior), Carter #12 Junior, Makoi #3 Sophomore. They’re top players on the team. Esko’s record is 9-0. And they’re now looking forward a playing in the playoffs. Keep up the great videos!!! ### 5/5 — Missing score board *2021-02-11* I love being able to watch my Grandson Joel Speckman Jr play varsity basketball for Chaparral High school in Parker, Colorado, but some of the games don’t have a scoreboard with the real time and score superimposed on the screen. It is very frustrating. I live in Arizona and he live in Colorado. Most of the games I have watched haven’t been close. They are 5 and 0 fit the season. I’m afraid there is going to be a close game and I won’t know the score or how much time is left. Other than that I love this app. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the 5-star rating! We appreciate your feedback. -Haley MaxPreps Staff ### 5/5 — Refresh data *2021-01-10, version 5.3.8* Even after updating a score as final and being an approved scorer still don’t refresh the results, same game started from a game from Thursday!!!!! Awful to keep track ### 5/5 — MaxPreps Updates *2020-09-12, version 5.3.1* It gives me something to do on Friday nights to keep me up to date on all Sports & I absolutely love it!!! Keep it y’all. If something happens & I find out more scores at some point I’ll gladly help out if you need me to do so!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
