### 5/5 — Really good but needs an update

*2023-05-16*

UPDATE THE APP!!!!!!!!

### 2/5 — It doesn’t let me log in

*2022-11-05, version 2.0*

The app is great! I WISH I could love it but it doesn’t let me sync my soccer team with my iPad because I can’t log in on the iPhone. Please fix it.

### 4/5 — How to View Lineup

*2022-03-21, version 2.0*

How can you view your line up and subs?

### 2/5 — Slick app but fatal flaw

*2019-09-15, version 2.0*

The looks great. Using it during games is easy and intuitive. 

The one exception to this is substitution tracking. During the match, I can’t see what positions players are in. The app only lists their starting positions. 

This makes the app useless for teams with a lot of substitutions.

### 4/5 — Starting to like it.

*2019-03-05, version 2.0*

This is going to be my third year using this app and I am starting to really like. It's great for keeping track of the players and what percentage of the time they are at games and practices. I am still trying to figure out how to use the game feature which from what I figured out last season, is a good feature.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2018-10-17, version 2.0*

It is an amazing app. I wish the app allows other tallies like rebounds and tackles and shots to goal (on and off target). Also, it glitches and takes you off the app and the game timer ends without the possibility to fix it so the rest of the entrances have to be done manually.

### 1/5 — Used to be ok

*2018-09-26, version 2.0*

It just wont work properly! It crashes every time u what to delete a game. Need to save players over and over. It wont keep the record for a seasson or choose competitions from the same seasson (aka League, cup, friendlies). Straight garbage!

### 3/5 — Simple, game time needs improvement

*2018-05-18, version 2.0*

I am new to kids' soccer coaching and needed a simple, simple, intuitive, easy, SIMPLE way to keep track of players during games mostly, and get some idea for practice drills.  This is simple for sure, but good be even more so, thereby improving it's usefulness.  For instance, during games, you start the game clock but it only tracks halves, not quarters, and there's no way to pause game play or change time once it starts, and if it ends, it starts your whole line up over and makes you select players again so you can change them out again 2 minutes later or whatever... I don't need to be spending this much time fiddling with the lineup when I'm trying to asst coach a game, keep time, keep impatient 7 yo's on the bench, figure out who already played offense, etc.  Also, it makes you click thru 3 different choices (bench, off, on, and idek how is and bench are different??) for *each* player when you go to get the next quarter's line up set - "subbing"  is even more complicated because you have to set a standard line up (ex: 3-2-1) so it gets confusing trying to swap players and being *required* to stick to that and put that# of players out in those positions every time even if you have to adjust to reality of game day no-shows, extra defense during critical game play etc.  You have to "justify" changes and just make stuff up in order to Hedy get on with the game, and it just gets inaccurate and stats less meaningful.  Forget it if you started a lineup with available players and a players shows up past way into the game - I had to end the game!  Only way I could go back in and add him to the lineup to them play. Not good and it was DURING a game and I'm sitting here fiddling with my phone trying to get it to make sense!  Just not good.  
I suggest making games a drag and drop system.  Just make it visual, and easy to get a player into the game at whatever position, or drag someone to the bench, without a bunch of fuss and all the clicking and tapping and shuffling of what and why and confirming.... Just needs to work better and easier during games and is be happier with it.  
I do love that I could take their picture, and that is what shows up on the field - it needs to be that for selecting and benching too.  
Also enable first or last names to show - little kids coaching goes by first names.  Seeing their last name made it confusing.  
Overall pretty decent for a beginner free app.  Improve have time for ease and less fiddling/fussing, and is use it again.  As it is, I'm searching for a new app :/

### 2/5 — Potential but not ready for game day

*2018-04-07, version 2.0*

This app has the potential to be great but it’s not yet. When creating players you can set their position and it shows up but you can literally watch it disappear! It’ll say “Left Back” and disappear in 5 seconds. If you set it again it will stick. 
More importantly I used the app in a game for the first time. Halfway through the game my roster of 12 turned into 9. Not sure where the other players disappeared to but they were no longer available as subs. That’s unacceptable and I won’t be using the app again until those bugs are gone. 
The sub procedure isn’t smooth, either. You can mark a player as coming off and another going on but it’s clumsy to assign where they’ll be going on the field. Would be nice to drag and drop players into position. And seems like you can’t set the sub list ahead of time and execute it later during a stoppage.

### 2/5 — Crashes frequently

*2018-03-23, version 2.0*

This is a really nice concept for an app, however it crashes very frequently making it difficult to work with. Whenever I go to add a new match the app crashes and I have to reload never letting me add the match. Other than that great concept!
