### 5/5 — A wonderful tool

*2026-08-08, version 6.27.0*

Brilliant tool to help with the demands of refereeing. Love seeing my stats after the game

### 5/5 — Top

*2026-07-28*

Die App ist Wirklich sehr gut egal ob man alles über die Uhr Notieren möchte oder nur die Zeit stoppen will einfach Perfekt. Vielleicht könnte man durch die Regeländerungen einen Extra Timer einstellen den man im Spiel Aktivieren kann also als Beispiel ein Spieler braucht beim Wechselvorgang zu lang dadurch muss er den Platz für Eine Minute verlassen. Man drückt eine Taste und Aktiviert diesen Countdown. Wäre sehr Sinnvoll. Ansonsten Top App

### 4/5 — App doesn’t let me put full time

*2026-06-13, version 6.26.0*

It’s very good but it doesn’t let you stop the game on it, and right now it’s on 4351 minutes and I don’t know how to turn it off

### 2/5 — Optimierungsbedürftig

*2026-05-31*

Die App ist an sich wirklich gut, wenn alle Funktionen gut klappen würden. Ich nutze das iPhone 15 Plus mit allen Softwareupdates, habe aber sehr oft das Problem, dass die Heim- und Gastaufstellung zwar in der App auf dem Handy gespeichert wird in der Eingabe, dann aber im Spiel und auf der Uhr nicht erscheint! Dieses Problem tritt leider auch sehr oft bei anderen Nutzern auf, die ich kenne. Das muss man dringend beheben.

### 3/5 — Heat map

*2026-05-24, version 6.20.0*

The app of great however I pay for pro edition and when I try to create a heat map, I can never see the heat maps. I love the app otherwise but that is a big reason I pay for pro.

### 3/5 — Great app, not so great support

*2026-05-02, version 6.20.0*

Accidentally purchased a year subscription through the months I would not use this. Reached out to get a refund to no avail. But when I did use it the 4 times it was good

### 3/5 — Reliability is going downhill

*2026-04-28, version 6.20.0*

The app frequently gets stuck loading matches onto the Apple Watch now. Additionally, it freezes during app opening sometimes. On the Watch, it started delaying the score recording screen so I can submit multiple goals by clicking on “yes”. Then I have to quickly undo during the match - stress I can live without.

### 3/5 — Good app. Grossly overpriced.

*2026-04-26, version 6.20.0*

The app works well for my soccer matches. But $80 per year is outrageous. This isn’t an AI tool that requires a lot of computing or a cloud storage tool that requires a lot of infrastructure. An annual subscription this high for a static app like this is just ridiculous. I can live without jersey colors and heat maps.

### 5/5 — Facilite la gestion des matchs

*2026-04-25*

L’application est devenue pour moi incontournable pour la gestion des matchs. Facile. Édite des rapports et permets de suivre les statistiques de placement et l’analyse des efforts pendants les matchs.

### 5/5 — Vincent87

*2026-04-25*

Bon logiciel mais problème de gestion du carton blanc en district.
