### 4/5 — Team and player stats

*2022-02-05, version 5.2.1*

Hi, the app is great and easy to use however, when I create a team and player stats report for the game it generates a report for the whole season, how do you generate an individual team and player report for an individual game?

### 3/5 — Lots of potential but no support

*2019-08-23, version 5.2.1*

Is someone still maintaining the app? The support email form on the website is no longer working. 
Would love to see a planned time report for a tournament.

### 3/5 — Great App

*2018-11-25, version 5.2.1*

I’ve been using this APP for over three years and I’m really impressed. The only down side is that there has never been any updates 😢 I wish you could customise the number of rotations

### 4/5 — How to

*2018-09-17, version 5.2.1*

Hello, 
how do i import a csv players file? What are the information required and how it is displayed? Can you send me a working sample?
tks

### 2/5 — I really want to like this

*2018-09-15, version 5.2.1*

I really want to like Soccer Dad. What I would really like to be able to do are my lineups. Unfortunately the portion that tells many how many minutes of the game a player is planned to play doesn’t work. It tells me a player has played 0 minutes or 15 minutes when I have them scheduled for 2*15 minute quarters. I love the integration with TeamSnap and if that portion is fixed I will definitely check it out again.

### 4/5 — Great In-Game Mgmt Tool

*2017-01-31, version 5.1.1*

It takes some getting used to, and doesn't sync well to other devices, but once you're used to it, it's a great tool.  You can sync with TeamSnap, which makes it easy to import your roster and events, then sync your game scores back up.

The backup/sync issue was with saving to Dropbox, then opening on another device.  I didn't find it very intuitive, and I am a developer.  I overwrite newer versions with ease, which was frustrating.  Luckily, I used test files and took the time to figure it out before my season.

Once I got it running, I haven't looked back.  It's easy to set up your formation, then move subs in and out.  It tracks time played.  It allows you to track stats as well, and offers game and season reports.

I highly recommend taking the time to get to know the app, then using it in conjunction with TeamSnap to manage your games.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2017-01-15, version 5.1.1*

I looked at a few different apps to help with team management and game time player management. Great visual for the players to see where they will be playing and with who. I have used for about 2 years now and recommend it to other coaches all the time.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2016-11-20, version 5.1.1*

A little getting use to but does the trick.

### 2/5 — Great App with small glitches

*2016-10-08, version 5.1.1*

Fun but not intuitive to use. There is a glitch when the play timers go in that the timer for the right defender in a 3-2 formation never starts. When we change rotation schedule in settings, it does not get reflected when forming game plans.

### 4/5 — Great app but

*2016-04-29, version 5.1.1*

This app is essential for running your team but when you try to import your team from teamsnap it crashes. Please fix and it will get 5 stars

### 2/5 — Useful features let down by constant crashing

*2016-04-03, version 5.1.1*

As a football coach this app has a lot of really useful features. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into it. Unfortunately this is all let down by an app that crashes at random, making the user experience extremely frustrating to say the least. Were it not for the bugs and constant crashes I would happily give this app 5 stars, but I don't expect an app that I have paid for to perform as poorly as this one does currently. I am currently using on an iPad with iOS 9.2.1.

### 4/5 — Works great and easy to use.

*2016-02-12, version 5.1.1*

I have been using this app for several years now and it works very well. It's easy to use and set up and I like that you can email your team through the app, setting up practices scrimmages, and games. There is a glitch in the email that is annoying but it isn't a deal breaker. The app will track all of the stats and playing time. I especially like the playing time tracker for my Rec teams.

### 1/5 — TeamSnap failures

*2022-02-27, version 5.2.1*

Does not work with TeamSnap.

### 1/5 — Text Doesn’t Work

*2019-08-29, version 5.2.1*

Not only does text not work but the support page won’t receive my emails. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Unable to see scheduled game

*2019-05-08, version 5.2.1*

I’ve set up a team and scheduled an event but cannot see it on the list, nor do I have a game tab to set up a game. Attempted to contact the creator but the website won’t allow me to send anything to him. Hopefully I can get help through here or else I’ll be requesting a refund

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-09-08, version 5.2.1*

Cant set lineups and most settings fields fail to save. Must close app to get back to beginning. Very frustrating- bad spend

### 1/5 — Good idea, doesn't work

*2018-03-17, version 5.2.1*

Good idea but many features still buggy. Unable to send reminder emails or SMS messages. Reached out to developer but never  heard back. When I click to send messages it opens a new message but doesn't populate the email addresses or numbers of the team members. Wish it worked.

### 1/5 — NO Support! Lineups change randomly after saving

*2017-05-17, version 5.1.1*

Running on ipad pro 9.7 with iOS 10.3
Saved 2 Different lineups for my u8 team. Some games are 4 rotations and some are 8 so I need to be prepared. 
I usually work on lineups the day before our games. I just happened to create a fake game just to test my lineups and couldn't figure out why my kids play times were so far off after I just went though them. And I could not figure out why the lineups all changed from how i set my god players to forward and Mids, now they are on the bench and in defense etc. After 2 hours of constantly thinking I'm screwing up,I took screenshot of every screen before saving. Sure enough I was right and the software soccerdad is just randomly doubt what it wants.  I took my screenshots and printed them out. 15 minutes before game I open soccerdad and it's all changed again. Seriously!! I then have to take my printed out screenshots and adjust soccerdad once again.
I have sent numerous emails to get help and also sent messages to his YouTube account as well.

Absolutely NO RESPONSE.
Don't waste your money like I did for a unsupported app.

### 1/5 — Not great - too complicated

*2016-10-02, version 5.1.1*

user function too complicated. 2 halves doesn't work. wants X number rotations for player subs. emailed company for assistance and did not get a reply/response.

### 1/5 — Not at all user-friendly

*2016-09-07, version 5.1.1*

Very challenging (impossible?) to edit any of the player or family contact info. Also fails to have logical "back/return" functions to go back to prior screen after accessing contact info fields. I couldn't bring myself to waste more time test drive any of the promoted features.

### 1/5 — Riddled with bugs

*2016-04-08, version 5.1.1*

Auto subbing algorithm results in players getting wildly differing times on the pitch. Goalkeeping logic is hugely flawed, 1 rotation gives you 1 keeper per match, but 2 rotations gives you 3 keepers per match!???

How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2015-07-25, version 4.3.3*

Not very user friendly and pretty much useless for me. Would not recommend buying it

### 5/5 — Literally the best soccer lineup manager

*2021-04-26, version 5.2.1*

I have been using this app for 5 years and it is essential for how I plan for games. We have a maximum roster team and required 50% minimum playing time for all kids. Soccer Dad lets you plan all the rotations, see total playing time at each position in a game or through the season. I have looked for alternatives over the years, but nothing compares for game day prep and use.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-12-27, version 5.2.1*

Great app which I use to ensure all my players get equal time at the weekend

### 5/5 — Great app, needs lineup printout

*2018-11-30, version 5.2.1*

Exceptional app to strategize and keep contact with all parents. Only thing missing is the ability to print or export the image of the lineups as a pdf or image file. The visual helps to use during the games and make changes with pen. Overall great app. Totally worth it.

### 5/5 — Great Game Management App

*2018-10-06, version 5.2.1*

I've used this app to coach for many years and can't live without it!  

Still love the app -please confirm it will function on IOS12.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-08-21, version 5.2.1*

The app is great and I can do almost everything in one place. The only thing that would make thing easier is if you could set practices with drills on the whiteboard under the practice in schedules.

### 5/5 — Stats

*2018-05-05, version 5.2.1*

Great app overall - I have deleted some stats categories - how do I create new ones?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-11-22, version 5.2.1*

As a coach this helps in documenting real time player stats, great when looking back on games etc

### 5/5 — Is developer still updating

*2017-08-06, version 5.1.1*

App hasn't been updated in quite awhile. I'm worried I will get used to this app and iOS 11 will make it incompatible.  Great app otherwise.

### 5/5 — Best app on the market

*2016-02-04, version 5.1*

Hi all 
I have use this app for about 3 years now. As i am the manager for quite a number of teams. From my youngest boy under 8 team at a local level. Right up taking teams away to represent Australia. I can not speak more highly of this app. It keep the coaching staff well in form of stat about the games. Also I can keep players & parents inform about training, game times, dates, drill and places. Take a little will to get use to all it has to offer but well worth it. I now have  14 x teams of data on this app over the 3 years with soccer & futsel accessible on my IPad & iPhone. 
Thanks again 
Brad

### 5/5 — A great app

*2016-01-17, version 5.0*

I help run a youth football team and this is the best app I've found to help - especially good for admin, head count, also keeping track of time on pitch during games, substitutions etc. 
Great app, has made my life a lot easier.
