### 2/5 — Players shift off court

*2022-12-02*

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.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Since this review was posted, we’ve made significant updates and bug fixes to the app, including improvements to recording and alignment issues.

What you described should no longer occur in the current version. We understand how frustrating that experience must have been, especially after spending time creating your plays.

If you’re still experiencing anything similar, please contact me at info@pocket-coach.net so I can investigate and help resolve it. I can also assist regarding your purchase if needed.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best regards,

### 3/5 — Pay to use

*2022-11-24, version 4.0.12*

### 5/5 — Baseball

Can you please do something for baseball like that ?
Thank

### 1/5 — Lost all my plays

*2021-12-02*

I paid for the upgrade.  App reset and required login. Could not find my username andI could not update password. I’ve lost all the places I’ve drawn. Hours of my hard work are gone.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Since this review was posted, we’ve made significant improvements to the app, including better account handling and data stability.

Losing your plays is not expected behavior. If this ever happens, it’s usually related to login or sync issues. Please contact me at info@pocket-coach.net so I can help recover your data and check what went wrong.

If you had a previous purchase, I will also make sure everything is properly restored.

Thank you for your feedback.

### 4/5 — Coaching board

*2021-09-04*

This is a great app easy to use features paid for premium well worth it. My only issues are I would like the option of a pen to draw plays quick on the fly in case you don’t have time to animate. Also when previewing and recording an option to pause so you can voice over would be extremely useful.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and support, it’s really appreciated.

Since this review was posted, we’ve added drawing (pencil) tools so you can quickly sketch plays on the fly without needing to animate everything.

We’ve also improved playback controls, and further enhancements like pause and voice-over options are part of ongoing improvements.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out at info@pocket-coach.net.

Best regards,  
Matej

### 1/5 — Great idea, bad business model.

*2020-02-08*

I was very excited to try the app, and when I started building my first play I thought it was cool you could use cones to draw up drills as well.  Then I was notified I could only have 4 moves before upgrading.  How sad, the freemium model in this case won’t even let you draw up one free play.  

Sad! Didn’t even get to seesfull play and try to decide if wanted to buy the app.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Since this review was posted, we’ve made significant changes and improvements to the app.

The free experience has been expanded — we now offer a static board mode with more flexibility, along with a free 7-day trial so you can fully explore all features and create complete plays before deciding to upgrade.
