### 3/5 — Basic

*2021-04-10*

The timer works well. If you could give an option where I can type club name and player name in the roster? This way you can only choose color of the jersey or home and away for the name.

### 1/5 — New version breaks quick game

*2019-10-27*

Thratedt version makes quick game.mich more difficult to use. Some of the icons have lost their text. There's no more.ebikity to choose team color - just home and away. Time to look for another app if they don't fix these issues.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. The error looks like it isn't caused by the new version but from using Dark Mode on iOS 13. We've released an update to the AppStore which should be available in the next 24 hours. If you continue to experience problems please email us at support@reflive.com

Thanks again!

### 3/5 — Aborted during use

*2019-09-28*

I used the Reflive app for one game and then deleted it because

- it aborted twice when I tried to enter an own goal, so I gave up trying to do that
- it used half the battery on my apple watch 3 in just a 70 minute youth game
- you have to enter all the game info on your iphone before the watch will start a game. I prefer the watch app to be standalone

**Developer response:** Hi,

We recently released an update that should resolve this issue. Please let us know if you have any further problems at support@reflive.com 

Thanks,
The RefLIVE Team

### 4/5 — Works well, easy to use, one glitch

*2018-10-06*

I used this recently and it worked very well. Tracking the match was so easy. Much quicker to record events than traditional paper method. 

I have found one glitch with setting up players. When setting up player numbers, I have to go in and out of the team a couple of times because the players don’t all show up. Once going in and out, they reappear. This can be frustrating when getting ready for a match where you don’t have the roster beforehand and are adding player numbers during pregame warmups. 

I have not thought of another way yet but it would be great to have a way to add the number of players before the game but add numbers of the players on the fly when events occur. Then the app would simply fill in the player’s numbers in order as they are recorded. Or, provide a quicker way of getting numbers in like using the camera. 

In any case, I really enjoyed using it and will continue. So simple and easy to use during the game.

### 4/5 — Excellent and intuitive

*2018-05-04*

I love the use of swipe left and right for team actions and force touch to change. So well done!

A couple suggestions:
1. Allow me to edit a team name
2. At the level I’m reffing, I shouldn’t need to preload all of the rosters before the game. I’d like to have the option to simply enter the player number when the event (card, goal) happens

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-05-04*

iPhone X and Apple Watch 2. I can’t get the app to work at all. It crashes before I can configure the app. Great idea. Doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hi Mattsai,
We released an update earlier that fixed this bug. Please re-install with the latest version and let us know if you have any further issues.
Kind Regards,
The RefLIVE Team

### 5/5 — Great application of technology!

*2018-01-09*

I have been using this over the winter with my Apple Watch during indoor season.  It's so quick and easy to record a goal or a card when required. Absolutely love the app and ease of set up

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback!

### 3/5 — Nice idea

*2017-12-12*

This is a great idea that still has some issues. It does not always properly with the Apple Watch. It works great on the phone but who wants to carry that around on the field?

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. We're interested to get some further information about your issues with the Apple Watch. Please email support@reflive.com and we can quickly resolve your issue.
Kind Regards,
The RefLIVE Team

### 3/5 — Could do the trick

*2016-09-08*

Would be nice if they added an alert on watch when first half ended and end of game. Also should add a halftime timer option which displayed after first half.

**Developer response:** Hi Tim,

Thanks for the feedback. We've since updated the app to include both of these features. Please let us know if you have any further feature requests.

Kind Regards,
The RefLIVE Team

### 4/5 — Really good app on a lot of fronts - just a few updates needed

*2016-07-09*

I played with the app (iPhone only, as I don't own an Apple Watch) following a game on TV. This solves a problem referees, parents, and fans have - how to keep track of what is happening in the game. The app is very intuitive. I had no problems swiping between the teams, and the displays were easy to read. I particularly like that there are two time displays - one to keep track of overall running time and one timer that stops and starts to account for stoppage time.

There are a few modifications that would make the app a five-star app.
1) Make the stoppage timer a countdown timer, and have a timers for the halftime break and to clearly show stoppage time. The Spintso referee watch does this very well.
2) Have the ability to load numbers "on the fly". My son plays youth club soccer, and we don't have rosters for the other team. I will need to quickly load the team numbers during the warmup. Having a setting where you don't need to record lineups would also help.

I love that this app can run from an iPhone without the need for an Apple Watch. One of the competing apps requires an Apple Watch, which I don't have any intention to purchase at the present time. I like how I'll be able to email match reports and then share them with the coach and parents after games.
