### 2/5 — What about Women’s Basketball?

*2019-08-15, version 1.3*

This is a great idea and cool service. We would have signed up for this app and been happy to pay the monthly fee, but once again, Women’s Basketball gets ignored. So disappointing.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-02-21, version 1.2*

As a college referee this app has really helped me progress and become 
A better official. This app allows you to learn the rules in a fun way and even lets you compete against your fellow refs. I’ve used this app during pre-game to quiz my partners and get in the right mindset, I’ve also used it during my flights, while watching games on tv, and in the gym. I highly recommend downloading this app if you’re an official at any level or even just a fan of the game wanting to quiz yourself on the rules.

### 5/5 — Repetition is a Must

*2019-02-20, version 1.2*

This tool is great for officials whether they’re starting NCAA basketball or they’re veterans. It keeps them sharp, prepared and gives them mental reps for a tough season and postseason. This app can be used to test rule knowledge, knotty problems and helps with focus and recall, which are important tools for officials in today’s world.
