### 1/5 — Issues

*2020-02-29, version 5.8.6*

Great app when it works. Most of the time the score just keeps loading not allowing you to click on the game to see the box score. Closing out the app doesn’t seem to work.   Deleting the app and then reinstalling works for a little bit.  I would give this app a 5 if I didn’t have this constant issue.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2020-02-20, version 5.8.6*

Just go back to using MaxPreps.

### 1/5 — WORST MOBILE APP EVER

*2020-02-17, version 5.8.6*

I’m really can’t understand why CIF decided to adopt this app, it’s truly terrible. I hope they go back to MaxPreps

### 1/5 — No comparison to MaxPreps

*2020-02-16, version 5.8.6*

Simply weak. Staying with MaxPreps.

### 1/5 — Horrible for coaches

*2020-01-30, version 5.8.6*

Can’t enter stats from app, no local rankings, they didn’t have our league set up in the system, hard to navigate to local HS sports!

### 2/5 — Add Water Polo

*2019-12-15, version 5.8.5*

I am a high school water polo coach. I would like to use your app, unfortunately it does not support water polo. If you could please add this sport to the available supported sports on this app it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Not consistent

*2019-12-07, version 5.8.5*

Doesn’t play

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2019-12-03, version 5.8.5*

Worse app ever.  I Don’t know why CIF has demanded this app to enter our official scores.  Nothing works correctly. Can’t edit times, schedules.  Not user friendly. Same complaint from my athletes and parents.  Horrible. I spent 30 minutes trying to edit a time change on my mobile app.  I will no longer be using scorebook live.

### 1/5 — Only basketball and football?!?

*2019-10-24, version 5.8.5*

You must be kidding. CIF switched to this and the ONLY sports you can even see on the app are football and basketball?!?  I am speechless.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-09-22, version 5.8.4*

As a required replacement for MaxPreps, this service and app are a massive disappointment. The overall functionality fails to meet any needs in terms of reporting scores or ease of adding statistics.
