The inclusion of player images has been good for identifying players I’m not familiar with. **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-06-11* Our junior AFL club has been using this App for the last 6 weeks and have found it very easy to use. The developer has been responsive to our feedback which have been reflected in recent updates. Thank you RM Play! **Developer response:** Thank you ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-06-10, version 1.0.16* Great app that gets better with every iteration and definitely heading in the right direction. ### 5/5 — Rookie Me Play *2023-06-09* This is a fantastic app and works very well. It is the only app that when you share players to the opponent you can record their game time and stats. Very helpful with customer service and working on app constantly to make it even better. ### 5/5 — Works well *2023-06-09* Can track everyone’s game time and positions. Helps keep the parents in check when they come to me about game time. Use what stats you want or don’t want. Pretty simple to use. ### 5/5 — Simple to use *2023-06-09* Much easier to use than Interchanger. I like the list view. ### 5/5 — Sensational tool *2023-06-08* Brilliant tool for game day to manage player rotations and tracking of stats. Keeps getting better so can’t wait for new features around stat reporting ### 5/5 — Next Era footy App! *2023-06-06, version 1.0.14* This app looks like it is going to be a good one. Keep up the good work. I really like how you have done plan mode ### 5/5 — Looks great *2023-05-31, version 1.0.13* Excited to see where this goes. ### 5/5 — A Game Changer *2023-04-27* I recently had the opportunity to try out the "RM Play" app on my iPad and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The app is beautifully designed, intuitive to use, and has a plethora of features that make it an essential for any footy coach/enthusiastic. One of the things I love about this app is its personalized experience. Upon opening the app, I was able to select my favorite teams. I was able to easily setup and strategize for upcoming games effortlessly. The app also offers live monitoring during the game, which is a huge plus for me. I was able to record all the smallest activities happening during the game and they are all automatically saved into my account. Another feature I found particularly useful was the app's advanced analytics features. You can look at the numbers to understand so much more about your teams. Highly recommended! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Subscriptions are a nightmare! *2025-05-08, version 2.4.11* Doesn’t work. Added subscription now can’t add anything or update team. I need to contact them to resolve. Won’t be keeping plan after free week. Worst sign up process I have ever had for an app…and this costs $20 a month! ### 1/5 — Buggy and crashes *2024-09-08, version 2.2.0* This app still needs a lot of QA. It hangs, crashes oand the recent update required a complete reinstall. This version still hangs when setting up a round. Needs much more testing please. ### 1/5 — A flop *2023-05-27, version 1.0.10* Why are parents of junior footy being subjected to this absolute rubbish. What happened to keeping it simple, stupid. I wouldnt even rate this one star at all! Kill this app asap please. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-05-16, version 1.0.9* Try add a new game - wont save any more than one game. New ones just disappear Set up that game - cant go past player selection stage Terrible app and a complete waste of time ### 1/5 — Shocking *2023-05-15, version 1.0.9* App always crashes and I can’t use it ### 3/5 — I really want to like this app *2023-07-30* There is a lot about this app that I like. It is generally easy to use and tracks game time very very well. However, it has a couple of weaknesses that should be easy to fix but just aren’t. First, I like to set up my “event” (i.e. match) early in the week. However, if players become unavailable before the game (which often happens on game day in junior footy), you simply can’t remove them from your team sheer. You have to wait until the game starts and then put them in the injured list. Which is simply non-sensical - it makes no sense to me why you can’t remove them from your team on the day. Second, and most frustrating, is when you need to change the players on the field. If the opposition loses players and you need to “even up” with, say, a 17 v 17 or 16 v 16 match, the app won’t let you adjust mid game. The suggestion is to put players in the opposition team bucket, but that prevents you having them in the right position on the ground for you to look at. These things should be an easy fix, but they end up making the app a pain to use on match day. Today, when the opposition change the number of players available, I had to give up on the app and return to using a magnet board and paper to track rotations. Please try to fix these things so I can love your app more. **Developer response:** Hi Richard, Thank you for the detailed feedback. 1. Removing a player before the game > see Help Desk Article > https://help.play.rookieme.com/article/275-removing-players That should solve your issues. You can move a player to ABSENT before and during a game. 2. Changing number of players on the field in-game. This is a feature we are working on (If numbers are reduced you should be able to play with one less player on the field?) Please keep sending us your feedback. Kind regards Rookie Me ### 4/5 — Great support and upgrades *2024-07-24* We’ve only used the app this winter season for yr6 footy as a trial. There has been a lot of learning and the app has been continuously improved along the past 12 weeks. The initial setup and working out how to use the app when off-line took some time, and aspects of the app that we don’t use often, like adding or removing players after the game has started is still causing some brain issues, but overall the app is quite user friendly, it offers GREAT opportunity for lodging a game scoring, interchange etc - all the stats you could wish for, and most importantly of all the support team has been next level helpful and generous with their time as we have come up with questions. Because of this we’re able to use the app beyond our yr6 requirements simply because it’s fun (for the boys) and easy to track. ### 4/5 — App review *2023-06-13* This is a new app but it has made a lotta progress in the last month, it used to have some bugs. Its doing a great job for our team. The ability to track injury time and time played for the opposition has made monitoring fair game time much easier. **Developer response:** Thank you. ### 5/5 — Great for basketball 🏀 *2026-03-25* This app has made managing our junior basketball team so much easier. Rotations, minutes and bench time are all tracked live, which makes sure that every player gets fair court time across 4 quarters. The game clock and substitution alerts are perfect for basketball where rotations happen quickly, and it removes the stress of trying to manage everything manually. Love it! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Please use the SEND US FEEDBACK function with any ideas you might have for your Basketball experience. Kind regards Rookie Me Support ### 5/5 — Great for stats *2026-03-22* I’ve used Rookie Me Play for the last few years and found it very easy to use and great for all our stat needs **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We would love to hear your feedback on how we can improve the "Stats" expereince for you. Kind regards, Rookie Me Support ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-02-27* Such a time saver.

They have always responded with updates and advice quickly. It has been a good app to use this year! **Developer response:** Thank you the kind words Kylie. Please continue to provide us wtih feedback Rookie Me Support Team ### 5/5 — Quick response *2024-09-03* Quick response to an issue I had. Great to see this app keeps on improving. Perfect for managing game time and keeping a few stats. Love the ability to delegate a role to a parent to assist with collection of data for the game. Keep up the good work ### 5/5 — Clean and easy *2024-04-23* This app does all you need to manage player fatigue and the reports in the backend assist greatly with my management of player loads ### 5/5 — Fantastic tool *2024-04-23* We used this app last year for our Under 12 team. The inclusion of the ability to delegate roles like stats and time keeping to other parents has made game day a lot more enjoyable and easier for our volunteers. ### 5/5 — Rookie Me Play Review *2024-04-02* I started using Interchanger (previous name) in 2014 and have been a returning customer every year that I have coached since. Rookie me play is a cost effective platform that isn’t labour intensive for volunteers. The speed in tech support from Murray is also outstanding. I’ve used both rotations, team stats and personalised stats and couldn’t be happier for the price point. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
