Dissapointed

You can only put 3 players on the board without paying the subscription which is not cool. Very limited use and wouldn’t reccomend download

Players shift off court

So after paying for the upgrade and spending 45 minutes setting up 2 plays to send to my assistant coaches the players shifted when I went to record. So when I created the play and hit play it was aligned perfectly with the court, but when I went to try and record the system glitched and moved the guys down on the screen so it looks like the finish of the play happens out of bounds. No way to realign play with court background. What a waste of time. Going to look for another app.

Would actually be a good tool without bugs. All features should be free until it is truly a functioning application. Paid for something that doesn’t work properly. Ugh, please send me money back.
