### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2026-07-20*

App doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Hi Clint, sorry to hear the app isn't working for you. Please contact our support team at support@refassist.com with details about the issue (device, OS version, and what happens), and we'll be happy to help you troubleshoot it.

### 4/5 — Self allocations

*2026-07-19*

The app was definitely needed but updates to the self allocations would be good.
I like that you can see how far away the games are but it's frustrating that you can't see which ground the games located. I also find it annoying that the games aren't listed in age order. Having the Under 16s mixed in with the Under 7s makes it harder to quickly find the game you're looking for.

### 4/5 — Dark mode?

*2026-07-06*

Please add dark mode 🙏

### 3/5 — Handy app. Functional limits. Some bugs.

*2026-07-03*

Good app and UI. Not having to log in each time is awesome! Scope to increase functionality to fully mirror the web version functions. 

Also some bugs to address including issue with being unable to export games to calendar unless you give full access?! This is a new issue. Please address.

### 5/5 — Smooth App

*2026-05-13*

It’s a very clean and well made app and it is very easy to use and navigate.

### 5/5 — Huge improvement to website

*2026-05-12*

This app doesn’t make you sign in every time so I can access my games very quickly. Its user interface is so well thought out.

### 5/5 — Convenient app

*2026-05-12*

I just got this app recently, because I am an EFNL junior umpire, and it is so convenient! I don’t have to go onto safari and search up “officialshq” and then log in every time I have to check my appointments. This app is so convenient, that once you log in, you don’t have to log in every time you open it. Great work developers!
