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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — no plays *2024-01-19* there are not any pre built its trash ### 1/5 — Poor update *2023-06-26* Why can’t I write on the court anymore like I could before the latest update? The lines serve me no purpose honestly. **Developer response:** Hello Coa D, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. We're happy to let you know that we have addressed this issue in our latest update (version 4.4), and you should now be able to write on the court. We would greatly appreciate it if you could consider updating your rating and review based on your latest experience with the app. Please feel free to email us at support@playbookteams.com if you have any further questions or encounter any other issues. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2023-02-05* This app is very bad I tried to make a play in basketball and it only let me get three offensive players and said if I wanted more I had to pay. How am I supposed to make a play with three players!???🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — Hard to use and not very streamlined *2022-12-22* As a youth coach I need something much more simplified **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're actively working on making the app more streamlined and easy to use for our users. Please reach out to support@playbookteams.com and we'd be happy to make this right for you! ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-29, version 9.5* Great app ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-01-20* Great app for coaches to draw up plays and push their teams to victory! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so glad to hear that PlayBook is helping you strategize plays with your team. Please feel free to reach out to support@playbookteams.com if you'd like to share any thoughts or feature ideas! ### 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. ### 4/5 — Problem Solved: Having trouble restoring previous/life-time purchase *2023-04-04* Fixed: (Having trouble restoring previous/life-time purchase. I sent an email regarding this issue but NO response yet. Please fix this issue.) Please keep working hard to make this application more professional and useful! My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS) Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application. **Developer response:** Hello Sherap6, We apologize for the issue you faced while restoring your previous/lifetime purchase. We've fixed the issue in our latest update (version 3.0). Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please feel free to contact us at support@playbookteams.com if you have any questions or need further assistance. ### 3/5 — 3 star *2026-01-04* Good because you can make, good plays bad cause you have to pay ### 3/5 — Has potential *2025-01-21* This is a great app but you cannot do anything without paying. ### 3/5 — Interface is mediocre at best *2023-11-19* Creating plays is tedious is you make a mistake. The customization features is inaccessible in settings and the editing interface is tedious, a erase option needs to be added. An update is needed desperately to make the operating interface smoother. **Developer response:** Hello Matt21Thomas, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. The app has an undo button that you can use to remove previous strokes. Please be assured that we'll continue to update the app to make it even smoother. Feel free to email us at support@playbookteams.com if you have any further questions. ### 3/5 — I’m confused *2023-02-24* I used to be able to record but when I switched my device now it’s won’t let me screen recording and now it’s pop up sign up for years subscription. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
