### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-01-07*

Paid for the app and it hasn’t worked since I decided to pay.

**Developer response:** Hello BJ-Mike,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. Can you please share more details about the issue you're experiencing? Please email us at support@playbookteams.com and we'll be happy to assist you.

### 3/5 — 3 star

*2026-01-04*

Good because you can make, good plays bad cause you have to pay

### 1/5 — The absolute WORST

*2025-05-11*

This app officially takes 1st place as the runaway winner of worst app I've had the sickening displeasure of using ( or trying to) only to try to save one drawn D scheme & it repeatedly called for a screen rotation yet never saved anything. 

One thing its GREAT AT?  REPETITIVE directions to a massively over-priced party option. 

Greed much????

STAY AWAY from this debacle

### 1/5 — It’s $10 for a member ship if I’m not mistaken and $50 for a yearly fee!

*2025-04-07*

$150 dollars for a yearly fee! I can put shapes down or change the color of the field it would be great but it’s to expensive.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-03-29, version 9.5*

Great app

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2025-01-21*

This is a great app but you cannot do anything without paying.

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect…

*2025-01-02*

Brilliant app for a new generation of technology in coaching, my only tweak I would make is to have a “Live Play” action option where you can design/draw plays and then they move on screen by pressing play; therefore allowing athletes to see their exact positioning and movements at Game/Moving speed

**Developer response:** Hello CoachKHD,
Thank you for sharing your review and feedback! We really appreciate it.

### 2/5 — Good. Maybe

*2024-10-18*

You can’t really try it or do anything given there is a 3 player limit for free. Not sure what team has 3 players. Maybe a month free to trial would help. I’m not paying if I don’t know if it’s for me.

### 1/5 — Contenido Disponible

*2024-03-10, version 8.6*

Entiendo el pago dentro de la app, pero no ser capaz de realizar una jugada es demasiado

### 1/5 — EXPENSIVE!!!

*2024-02-02*

The price is just ridiculous. App is worthless in the free version.
