### 5/5 — Reftime

*2021-04-01, version 2.1*

I love this App and use it for all my matches. I recently have encountered a problem with the coin toss feature. I see the coin and I am able to press it but the “away” & “home” buttons are not visible to select once you flip the coin on watch face....??

With High School soccer playoffs when you have to go to KFTM (Kicks From The Mark), this would be a great addition to the App to have right there on your watch if there was some way to add that!

### 1/5 — Crashes on phone

*2020-01-16, version 2.1*

This app will not open on iPhone. I’ve reset the phone and the watch and am on thethe latest iOS for both. Therefore you can’t sync with the watch. At best, all you can do right now is keep score on your watch. I have paper that can do that. It’s too bad, because this seems to be the only app that realizes that youth soccer (especially in tournaments) does not allow time for loading rosters.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-09-20, version 1.0.1*

Once I got the hang of how to use it I love it. I am able to record the score, cautions and send offs before other officials get their recording sheet out of their pockets. 

It would be great if the games were recorded on the iPhone for future reference especially during tournaments where we have back to back games. 

I can’t wait to use it during the high school season

### 4/5 — Good app, but...

*2017-08-11, version 1.0.1*

This is a solid ref app, but I cannot add it as an complication. Please add this functionality in a future version.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2017-08-03, version 1.0.0*

Great app but it would be helpful if we can do the settings on the iPhone and get ready before the game. Typing on the phone is easier. Also it would be nice to email the game report at the end and also to be able to put the team names instead of home and visitor.

### 4/5 — Great Tool

*2017-08-02, version 1.0.0*

Just downloaded app and can't wait to try it out at a real game this weekend.  I love the fact it doesn't require an interface with my iPhone. When you're doing recreational games or tournaments, it was too difficult to create and transfer games from the iPhone to my iWatch.  Now I can create the new game on my iWatch quickly and start the game.  Easy to enter score and any cards issued right on my watch. I can't wait for additional features and tweaks. There are a couple of spelling mistakes in the app and the size rendering is off a little bit but it's nothing that interferes with its functionality. I would like to see it vibrate every 5-10 seconds when the clock is stopped to remind the user the clock has stopped.  Great job.
