Leider ist das Einstellen der Mannschaften etwas umständlich, man sollte zum Beispiel mit einem Klick die Nrn. 1-11 hinzuzufügen können. Trotzdem vielen Dank für die App. ### 3/5 — Aufzeichnen *2026-03-22* Leider zeichnet er nicht auf wo auf dem Platz Mann gelaufen ist ### 4/5 — One more feature *2025-05-24* I would like to record the player of a foul (Futsal) ### 4/5 — Ok *2025-04-07, version 7.4.2* This is a good app but it can’t get to my watch. ### 4/5 — Für den Preis ok *2025-04-06* Berichtigungen sind schwierig bis unmöglich. Anfangs ging, jetzt werden Eigentore dem falschen Team zugerechnet. Als Anleitung dient lediglich ein Video, dort fehlen einige Punkte. ### 2/5 — Battery Life *2025-02-19* Drains my Apple Watch battery extremely fast. I love the App but find it unwelcoming knowing that I can’t get more then one soccer game out of my Apple Watch. **Developer response:** Set your watch to airplane mode before you start the game. Our users are getting more games on a single charge. ### 4/5 — Very good *2024-12-18* The app is very good. My only problem is that sometimes (not sure if it’s me or app) I have games and after half time the game score goes back to 0-0. So I wouldn’t rely 100% on keeping scores etc. I mainly use as a countdown clock. You can set to whatever time you want and then stop to add time etc it gives a very handy 2 min remaining warning. For the price it is a very good alternative to RefSix ### 3/5 — Been using for 4 years *2024-08-27* I have been using the full version of this app for four years. I’ve never really had trouble until I purchased and Apple Watch 8. Now quite frequently the app will reset the match at half time. All goals, time elapsed, and cards are reset. Also, gps map has stopped working as well even though I have repeatedly selected gps map on. Now I only trust the app to count up and down. I do like the elapsed time feature along with a countdown. I only wish there was a setting for NFHS that truly stopped the elapsed time feature as opposed to added time. I have enjoyed using this app but only gave three stars due to my current issues. ### 4/5 — Fehler ? Oder Einstellung ? *2024-05-22* Nutze die App schon eine Weile, nun habe ich ein Problem ! Wenn ich die Spielfortsetzung starten möchte , spring die App immer auf Intervall und ich komm da nur wieder raus , wenn ich das gestartete Spiel lösche und muss dann wieder neu starten, das nervt gewaltig !! ### 3/5 — Decent features, bad UI *2023-11-15* The app has good features, including the ability to import matches from arbiter. But the UI/UX is very disappointing and difficult to navigate, on both the watch but especially in the phone app. There’s no native match review, it’s all exported as notes. But, it’s only a one time payment for all features, rather than a subscription so you get what you pay for, I guess? ### 4/5 — Looks nice. What happens with 2 yellows *2023-11-04, version 7.4.1* Just started the season and bought an Apple Watch. Now looking for a good app. This one looks nice and has some good features that another app wants to charge subscription of $5 per month. Question though if I track yellow cards here and give two yellows to one player it does not seem to warn me that player should get a red card too. Is that a future upgrade ? Look forward to using this next weekend 11-03-2013 update. Using current IOS 17.1 and now it won’t let me save matches to my calendar. I get “Error domai…” ### 2/5 — Warum kaufen? *2023-09-03* Die App macht einen guten Eindruck aber wieso muss ich was kaufen um Einstellungen vorzunehmenen? Leider steht das nirgends. ### 4/5 — Great app!!! Almost the best… *2023-04-04* I love all the different options offered with this app. It truly can be used for any kind of football/futsal match. I only have two improvements to request. First, I wish I could create game presets to select from instead of having to enter each individual game. Second, I would also love a heat map instead of just an incident map so I can see my positioning, you know, since we are always working on that and fitness all the time! Love the app! ### 4/5 — How to save a completed game *2023-03-27, version 7.3.1* I’m unaware of how to save a completed game. I’ve completed 3 games this weekend but they are not saved and I can’t refer to the result to see who scored the goals nor see who got the cards. Lucky I used paper and pencil the first time I used this app. If not i wouldn’t have any record of anything. Please help ### 4/5 — Fehlt noch einiges *2022-08-28* Per Apple Watch kann man keine Auswechselungen vermerken und wer Anstoß hat **Developer response:** Es ist verfügbar. Zuerst fügst du Spieler zu den Teams hinzu. Erstellen Sie als nächstes ein Spiel.

I have NEVER been able to get the mapping to work and I certainty don't see a video about mapping. All the response that I have received has been to watch the videos. I was unable to use the app for over a year when I had updated my watch because it wouldn't recognize that I had purchased the unlimited version. I finally got that working. I don't remember how. It would be nice to use all the features and have ALL the functions explained (e.g.: GPS button, Goal type button, transfering assingments from another app, etc.). ### 1/5 — Waste Of Time And Money *2024-11-12* The concept is great. However, the execution is terrible and support is even worse! I have never been able to get the map to work. When I updated to the latest watch IOS I have not been able to use SFRefs on my watch because it won’t recognize that I have paid for unlimited access. Support only tells me to go look at training videos. That solves none of my issues. Worst support I have ever received! App is useless! **Developer response:** Are you sure you contacted SFRef customer support? We don't have any requests recently where we responded with a link to the training videos except for someone who wanted to know how to setup a match. Contact us again so that we can have your issues addressed. ### 1/5 — Nul *2024-11-02, version 7.4.2* Pas facile à jouer ennuyeux ### 1/5 — its boring *2023-07-16, version 7.3.1* it does not tell me how to even play the game and it does not show you a map of the game ### 1/5 — Habe für das Geld mehr erwartet *2022-04-19* Für das Geld habe ich mehr erwartet ,das einzig gute ist das die Uhr vor und zurück läuft . Jedoch kann man die Halbzeit Pause nicht verkürzen oder schneller beenden. Die REFSIX App is da wesentlich besser selbst die kostenlose Version ist übersichtlicher und speichert die gps Daten . Hier steht auf Update warten wenn es um die gps Daten geht . Leider raus geworfenes Geld aber naja man lernt dazu! **Developer response:** Sie können die Halbzeit stoppen, bevor der Timer abläuft, indem Sie zum Menü gehen. GPS-Daten werden automatisch gespeichert (kein Warten nötig) ### 1/5 — Der Timer funktioniert nicht *2021-09-11* Brauchte kurzfristig eine App, da ich als Schiedsrichter einspringen musste. Was ist mit der Stoppuhr los? 40 Minuten waren nach ca. 20 Minuten um. Wenn es gehen würde, würde ich die App zurückgeben. **Developer response:** Das ist nicht möglich. Tausende von Schiedsrichtern haben es in den letzten 5 Jahren verwendet. Sie haben es wahrscheinlich für 20 Minuten eingerichtet. Sie können die App zurückgeben. ### 1/5 — SF Ref *2021-01-23, version 7.3* This app wasn’t worth getting at all. Rubbish and I wouldn’t recommend getting it ### 1/5 — SFRef *2019-12-30, version 6.2* This app was really bad would not recommend buying it ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2019-01-18* Ich kann die Spiele nicht auf meiner Apple Watch laden. Erklärt mir mal das Problem! **Developer response:** Hallo, hast du deine Probleme gelöst?

Very functional and easy to use. Two things I would like to see added would be (1) when in Futsal mode I would like the team colors to continue over into the accumulated fouls screen in the watch, and (2) I would like the ability to add more colors as often we see teams with a light and dark version of the same color. ### 5/5 — Très bien *2023-04-21, version 7.3.1* Nombreuses options très faciles d’usage et très utiles pour jouer au football ### 5/5 — Kostenlose Version super… *2023-02-05* Ich finde nur die Stelle nicht wie ich eine Vollversion kaufen kann? Wird die App nicht mehr unterstützt? **Developer response:** Vollversion zu bekommen: Managen -> Upgrade ### 5/5 — ゲーム終了時のバイブ機能 *2022-09-01* 特に問題なく使えるのですが、 ゲーム終了時のバイブ機能が消せると他の方のレビューに回答されていますが やり方わかりません。 そんな機能設定ありますか？ ロスタイムの間2秒ごとに鳴られていたらたまったものじゃないのでは？ ### 5/5 — Top *2022-07-10* Macht was sie soll. Egal ob Jugend oder Senioren man kann die Zeiten problemlos einstellen. Nutze die App mit meine Watch. Halbzeit kann man einstellen und bei Bedarf frühzeitig beenden. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2021-10-16* Super simple but does the trick. From goals to rekick to cards and time track, I am so pleased. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
