I used it first with Mac then Windows and now, since 2010, with Mac again. The support system is outstanding, just call them and your questions are answered immediately. I’ve found it very easy to operate and perfect for play cards, playbooks and practically anything/everything football software related. Why it’s rated 2.5 out of 5 is way beyond me, I’d say it should be more like a 4.9 out of 5. Love it! ### 5/5 — Very Functional *2019-08-18, version 3.1.0* I use this app on my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone. I love it. For what I want it’s perfect. I don’t really care about uploading video or playing the plays with motion. I find the easy of drawing plays with straight lines is great. Easy to share. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2017-12-09, version 2.6.3* I wasted 1.99 all it is is a sales pitch to spend $40. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2016-11-05, version 2.5.0* Bought the APP and didn't come with the program that I needed. Can't design a play, nothing comes up when I open the APP. I want my money back!!! Do not buy this APP. ### 1/5 — Scam *2016-08-01, version 2.4.5* Do not purchase this app!!! You will have to turn right back around and spend another $38 in order to actually edit and do something with it. I am really not sure about that though because I refuse to spend more money on something that you can't even sample first. ### 1/5 — Refund *2016-05-31, version 2.4.3* How do I get a refund for this? This does nothing. ### 1/5 — $1.99 For Nothing *2016-03-01, version 2.4.2* Why sale this app for $1.99? You don't get anything but a sales pitch to spend $37.99 to actually get the ability to create a playbook. The description is deceiving and should be more explicit in stating that nothing is really offered for the $1.99 spent. ### 5/5 — Great app.....but... *2015-12-24, version 2.3.1* I can't figure out how to add the filed to the file from my iPad. The play shows but the hash marks, numbers etc...don't. Please fix. ### 1/5 — bait and switch *2015-10-04, version 2.3.0* this is only a viewer program. to do anything, you have to purchase an editing ap ### 4/5 — Great App (needs minor updates) *2015-04-09, version 2.3.0* This is the only product I could find for under $200 that allows me to be creative as possible with my playbook! I do wish I could change the page names, the playbook names, and save directly to my books app. ## Frequently asked questions about PlayMaker Pro ### How do I get playbooks onto PlayMaker Pro?
