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. ### 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 :/ ### 3/5 — Nice App! *2018-02-06, version 2.0* Very well put together app. I find it easy to use, however I was hoping I could add more than 11 players. ### 3/5 — Lots of purchasing *2017-04-11, version 2.0* Good idea, but it involves lots of $3 add-ons or all of them for $50. I'm going to look for something more affordable. ### 4/5 — Great App, Overkill for Youth Rec *2017-04-05, version 2.0* I use this app for my rec teams, U10 (8v8) and U15 (11v11). It mostly works great and certainly can do anything I want it to... but I wish it could do some of the simpler things, easier. It can be tough to manage the app in-game. Browser-based access to the rosters and stats would be nice for initial rostering. ### 4/5 — Almost Great *2017-04-02, version 2.0* App won't sync properly between my phone and iPad. Besides that, works well. ### 3/5 — Close to being a 5 star app *2017-03-14, version 2.0* It has a few bugs, like if I try and change a teams name it won't except it. It also would be nice to have a better way to keep track of stats during a game. And lastly if there was a way to share teams with assistant coaches to help keep track of things. Over all it is a great way to keep rosters and schedules in one place as well as whole team communication. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2016-09-07, version 1.9.6* Really good app - love it! I used it for a youth league and wished it had a few other options, such as: 3v3 and 4v4, no goalie, setting up 4 quarters. Sent email to developer and received response thanking me and he said would consider those options! This app seems to covers everything else, though, and would have got perfect 5 stars if not for those missing options because everything else is awesome! I am going to try to use it again this fall using 5v5 setting and the coach at the goalie position until an update covers that. ~Tim ### 4/5 — Excellent *2016-04-16, version 1.9* It has been excellent so far. I was just wondering how do you include in the matches that the game went into penalties ? ### 4/5 — Best Coaching App Out There *2016-02-09, version 1.8* This app has just about everything I was looking for. Love they way rosters and matches are set up and the practice feature is great too. A few added features would take it over the top, the first of which being the ability to add notes to a match during/after it has been played. Another one would be the ability to change formation while a match is in progress. Another would be the ability to add custom drills/activities to a practice. And lastly the ability to sync a team/match/practice with another count to coordinate with other coaches. But overall this app is everything I was looking for and then some. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 1/5 — No 10v10 *2017-05-19, version 2.0* My u8 plays 10v10 this does not support that?? Makes no sense. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-01-09, version 1.7* When trying to add players, this app crashes all the time. Unable to add a full roster, after the 20th try I gave up. Do not get this app. ### 1/5 — Gave up due to password *2015-09-19, version 1.5* This might be a great app. But there is an obnoxious password strength requirement. I tried multiple times to make a strong enough password and failed even with uppercase letters, numbers characters etc. maybe it's a bug. It's just a soccer app guys! Why are you so paranoid about someone hacking my account ??!! ### 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. ### 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. ### 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! ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2016-12-07, version 2.0* Good potential but needs to be updated because I cannot save player information or anything that can be saved. Also a bit slow loading. Just needs bug fixes and it'll be great! ### 2/5 — Works only for one team *2015-09-26, version 1.5* For one team it's a great organizer and time saver but I also purchased the 2nd team but every time I save something it kicks me out of the program and the few things it did look like it was saving was gone each time I tried going back in. Don't spend the money on extra teams (I have three so if they can fix the bug they have my money). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really good but needs an update *2023-05-16* UPDATE THE APP!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-05-15, version 2.0* This is my second season using this app for my club team. It allows me to have a parent easily track stats. My only issue is some of the loading issues as well as syncing issues. Otherwise I'm fantastically happy with it. Love it! ### 5/5 — Great! *2016-10-20, version 2.0* Easy to use and fun ### 5/5 — Great *2016-10-17, version 2.0* Recommend for everyone! You should make one for volleyball! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2016-09-23, version 1.9.6* The app is great!! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2016-09-16, version 1.9.6* Everything I was looking for. Very easy to use, and fantastic feedback. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send feedback to creator. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2016-04-05, version 1.9* Really easy to use and keep everything organised! ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2016-03-30, version 1.9* Nice graphics ### 5/5 — Great *2016-02-26, version 1.8* This app is amazing. However I wish you could somehow record pks and own goals on this app. Also there should be space for game notes. ### 5/5 — Very good job *2016-02-11, version 1.8* Impressed! Would be a better App of it can talk to other apps in other phones of players and their parents so they can have instantaneous updates and info so no one have excuse to miss a practice or a game:) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
