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 — Broken app *2018-12-29, version 5.8.1* All of the info is there, but this app continually re-loads itself so frequently that you can’t even read a page before it sends you back to the start page. It’s frustrating. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2018-09-18, version 5.7* The webiste is simpler to navigate than app. App should be at least self explanatory. Why do I have to pick favorite teams to follow first? Why can’t I just go to a state and search all games and pick details from there. If there is an easy way it’s sure not presented well on the app ### 3/5 — Needs a few more features for 5 stars *2018-08-19, version 5.7* Love the app and it’s ease of use. Would like to track defensive stats as well. Some better integration with Twitter and Facebook would be great ### 5/5 — Great app - must read *2018-02-24, version 5.3* This is definitely the future of high school sports. I discovered this app during the basketball postseason and I love being able to follow teams and the live scores. This app should be used by every high school who cares about their athletics programs!!! I hope it stays free forever. Thank you to the ScorebookLive team for a much needed app. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2018-02-15, version 5.3* My son plays at Torrey Pines HS and it has been so cool to follow all of his games with this app. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Appreciate the App *2018-02-14, version 5.3* Thankful this app keeps me in the know when I can’t make it to every game! Love that I can follow the scores of multiple games at the same time as well. Definitely a great app to have on your phone!! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2018-02-13, version 5.3* Finally a way to find scores of games around the area! Such a great idea and the app is organized very well! ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-02-13, version 5.3* Let’s goooooo this app is the bomb. Love being able to watch my teams favorites recruits on it and know what’s going on with them. GO SCHOCKERS ### 5/5 — Very useful *2018-02-13, version 5.3* This app is perfect, does exactly what I want. Very convenient and clean. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t find scores *2019-09-07, version 5.8.3* I can’t see how to get scores. No one seems to use this, if they do they barely do. Back to MaxPreps we go ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best high school sports app *2019-08-03, version 5.8.3* This app makes following your favorite teams a breeze. The live scoring is a game changer. Sleek and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great product *2019-08-03, version 5.8.3* I love this app. Allows me to follow my son's games real time like college and pro teams when I can't be there in person. And when I'm at the game, I use it to see how many points each player has scored during the game. Every high school should use this app!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-01-26, version 5.8.1* We have been using this app for our basketball and football games. It has been a fantastic way to keep our fans informed about what is going on in our games when they cannot be there. And it allows those that are there access to in-game stats. This is a tremendous product. And it’s all FREE! ### 5/5 — Great App, Easy to Use *2019-01-17, version 5.8.1* This is a great tool to score games for high school. Not only does it allow your fans to follow your scores in real time it also does great recaps of the games. Definitely a tool to utilize. ### 5/5 — Great to keep track of games while away *2019-01-16, version 5.8.1* My son plays high school basketball but I miss a lot of games because I travel for work. This app is a great way for me to see his score and the scores of other teams in his league. Great app for the parent who can’t always be there!!! ### 5/5 — Terrific App *2019-01-16, version 5.8.1* This app is really easy to use and it’s a great way to follow my Alma mater as well as other schools in the area. The app itself is very user friendly and makes checking the scores and stats of games simple. This is a must have app for fans and this is definitely where the future of scoring and stats is headed. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-01-16, version 5.8.1* This is a great app. It makes it easy for fans to follow their favorite teams when they aren’t able to attend the games. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-01-08, version 5.8.1* Easy to follow games all over the state(s)!! Easy to navigate and can make the app suitable to what you’re looking for (e.g. specific teams or leagues). ### 5/5 — Best place to go for highschool sports *2018-10-02, version 5.8* This app is EXACTLY what I was looking for. So awesome to get live updates of games and see every play up to the minute. I’ll never be in the dark on another game again ### 5/5 — Easy way to follow my Alma Mater *2018-03-07, version 5.3* I like to stay involved with my old high school sports community, but it’s difficult to stay updated about games and scores. Scorebook Live is the best solution I’ve found. With the fan portion of the app, I get game day notifications and automatic game updates right on my phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
