### 4/5 — Può essere migliorata

*2021-10-11, version 3.2*

Ottima applicazione. Semplice e intuitiva. Aggiungerei la possibilità di avere più tempi (> 2 halves) e le 5 stelle sono assicurate 🤩

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2021-09-29*

Excellent app! Keeps track of playing time for me so I can focus on actually coaching the game. Extremely easy to use. Preparing the subs makings calling out players a breeze. 

Wish it had the ability to track individual player goals, assists, and saves. Also need to be able to adjust the score mid-game in case of a miss click.

### 4/5 — Great, easy, helpful, limited

*2019-09-06*

Most things I need for recreational soccer games.  It needs the ability to delete a player instead of just uncheck them.  Each edit of a player create a new player.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! You may delete players by swiping left in the player list.

-Cheers

### 1/5 — Don’t bother as the formation can’t be changed

*2019-08-24, version 2.0*

Don’t bother as the formation can’t be changed. So very limited. Also restricted to 14 players for a match also very limiting.

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2021-06-08*

Before the last update it was working perfect, now after the latest update the timer resets to zero after 10 minutes as making it harder to track the times on each player 
Please fix as I have been using this app for a long time 
Could be an easy fix as it looks like you just need to add a digit so it can count past 10 min

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know!
Its now fixed in the latest version

### 3/5 — Please add single digit time increments

*2025-01-18*

Love the app, but the league we play for plays 4 - 9 minute quarters or 18 min halves. With this app unable to adjust time correctly. Also would a pause button, for when there’s injury or water, the refs stop the clock.

### 3/5 — Extra row needed

*2024-10-07*

It is an easy app to use and I love that it allows you to see who is substituting for who prior to the actual substitution. My only complaints are (1) It could use an extra row. For example, if you want to run a 4-2-3-1, it doesn’t have an extra row to run it. Doing this would really complete the app. (2) it doesn’t have a large enough bench. It has a workaround where you can place players on the field and then your extra players do show up on the bench. However, that does make it a little annoying upon initial setup of a game.

### 3/5 — Good UI but Limited

*2024-10-05*

The UI is really cool. It’s great how you can see player time and whether they have played a position. But, there are a few critical things missing. First, there are only options for 1 period or 2 halves. Many youth games have 4 quarters. I could make that work with two halves, but there’s no way to stop the clock. A pause function is needed. Last, I wish for the ability to plan the game and subs in advance. It’s too difficult to manage equal playing time during the game. Without a plan, you can end up with very awkward mixes of players on the field as you try to balance time, position, and player skill during a match.

### 3/5 — Developer N/A

*2023-01-18, version 3.5*

Unable to find option to have multiple teams even after purchasing paid version. It is a critical feature for someone that is managing multiple teams. The option to share stats is very basic and does not allow to share full colour version nor does it allow to filter for one player. It’s a good start but these two options will enhance the usage. Another feature would be to email players their stats after every game.

### 3/5 — Usable but not 100%

*2021-05-14, version 3.0*

Would be 5 stars if you could plan the whole game worth of subs and have alerts when it’s time.

### 4/5 — A lovely simple clean UI but missing options

*2025-10-14*

Adding players and substituting them in the field map is fantastic drag and drop. Simple as it should be (no selection menus). 

The killer feature that this app does that I could not find elsewhere is that is shows the players time stats broken down by position (DF, MF, FWD). Thus for versatile players you can se where you have utilized them the most. Fantastic option. 

But it just lacks a few simple options that would really elevate its usefulness:
1. Able to pause or manually set the timer. If you miss the kick off, you’re out of luck. 
2. Too limited for positions. I’d like to differentiate between wide, attacking and defensive midfielders. What about wingbacks. As far as positional stats go, it’s all just a flat MID line. Even if I could just name the slots on the field map (eg make one midfield slot an AM) may help add that simply. 
3. Like to be able mark players as not available (long press) to remove them from cluttering up the sub bench.

### 4/5 — Good App for younger teams

*2025-07-26, version 3.6*

I find this app very helpful for when it’s time to sub players. We are under 7’s & some kids are still learning about having to sub on & off. (Some don’t want to come off) The app makes it fair & is a visual reference for them.
1 thing that could be improved is being able to change players during the match. Eg. At the start of the game we had 4 players ready, & weren’t sure if others were turning up. Once the match starts you can’t add in the late players, & if you start the match with the players that are late(or don’t turn up) it still subs them because you can’t make them unavailable once the match starts.

### 4/5 — Estrarre dati

*2025-03-22, version 3.6*

Si potrebbero estrarre i dati per caricarli anche su un secondo dispositivo come IPAD.??

### 5/5 — Great app for Football Coaches.

*2025-09-18, version 3.6*

I highly recommend this app for any Football Coach. I’ve used it for several seasons now. I can manage formation, live score and substitutions all from the same screen. Seeing how long each player has been on/or off the field is a great feature.

### 5/5 — Great app. Simple and gets the job done.

*2024-09-07*

Nice UI design eg it keeps track of the positions each player has played so we can rotate them at different positions. Simply awesome!

### 5/5 — Keeps me coaching!

*2023-09-10*

Great app!  Keep tracks of what positions players have had, suggests substitutions and allows for unplanned substitutions and shows total play time in a nice soccer field visual that’s flexible for many formations.  I compared tons of these apps (probably 6 different ones) including the “multi-hundred star” apps and this was the winner.  Wanted something to just keep track of play time and help with subs.  You made a winner!  Only request I have is - can I get a push notification when it’s 1 minute away from the sub time?

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2023-02-04*

App is well developed and very useful. 

An improvement might be to add the ability to call a time out that would stop the clock. This is helpful for instance in which a player gets injured and the referee stops the clock to take care of the situation. Without this feature of being able to stop the clock, playing time numbers get skewed in an inaccurate manner.

Like the amount of thought that went into this great solution!

### 5/5 — Individual goal tracking would be amazing

*2022-08-20, version 3.5*

This is a really helpful app. What would make it even better is if when a goal was scored you could tag which child scored it and who assisted. That would help a great deal in tracking individual player achievements not just how long they played for. Everyone wants to know how many goals and assist they got a season! Much easier to prompt this when it happened than trying to remember and write notes after🤔

### 4/5 — Great timer

*2024-09-10, version 3.5*

I like a lot of the features on this timer. Better than most! Only thing that would be nice is to share team and info with other coaches.

### 4/5 — Very good app

*2023-09-25*

I really like this app but have 1 issue. We have 15 players and it will only allow me to have 14 for the game. I would love an update to allow for 15 total for the game.
