Update Success!

After the update and log in issues resolved, the app is back to working great as always! 5 Stars again

Response from developer

Thank you for your honesty, and I’m truly sorry. You were caught in the middle of an issue that temporarily prevented many of our users from logging in. It was the most difficult experience we’ve faced as a small, independent development team, and while the issue has now been resolved, we know that doesn’t erase the frustration it caused. If Softball Bound was valuable to you before this outage, I have one small favor to ask. Would you consider updating your review to reflect your overall experience with the app rather than this temporary interruption? As a small business, every review matters, and we’d be incredibly grateful if your rating reflected the years the app served you, not just the few weeks when it didn’t. Thank you for your patience, your support, and for giving us the opportunity to earn your trust back.

Great app

I find this app very helpful to identify softball programs while in the recruiting process and to look up information about programs once I’ve heard about commitments.

I really do love the app, however, it would be great to have some sort of customer service function or contact us info. There was recently a glitch with the app. I had no way to know it was a systemwide glitch. I thought it was a problem that just I was experiencing. After many attempts to try to resolve my login issues (trying to reset password or create a new account) and much frustration, I submitted a negative review. Eventually I received an email (to all app subscribers) that the issues had been fixed and I was successfully able to login and begin reusing the app. However, communication up front that there was a problem and/or having a way to communicate would’ve been helpful. My negative review eventually received a reply and asking that I consider updating my review if I had previously had good experience with the app. So I am changing my 1 star review to a 5 star review.

WAS a great app

This was the most amazing…helpful app when my daughter was in her recruiting era. Now that the transfer portal is open you cannot use the app. I am not sure if it’s something to do with Apple ID because I sign in using Apple ID. But the app is not functioning and it was functioning right up until the transfer portal opened so I find it very strange.

Can’t access account

Usually my go to app for my daughter’s recruiting journey but recently can’t access my account

Great App!

If your player wants to play at the next level, you need this app!

Response from developer

Thanks so much, Tim! Love hearing that the app is helping players who are serious about taking their softball game to the next level. Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this.

Great App

Super helpful App!! If your player is going to be going to a lot of softball camps, this app is fantastic in helping your player email the coach before and after the camp. Having all the information in one place makes the recruitment process a lot easier!!!

Very Informative

I use this app on a weekly basis! Every college that plays softball is in the palm of your hands! It’s a must have!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this awesome feedback!

Excellent softball college app

Easy to use to colleges at all divisions in all states with coaches information. Also there are constant updates on coaching changes.

A MUST HAVE !

My daughter is a 2024, and committed to an SEC school to play softball in September. The recruiting journey was not too stressful, and one of the main reasons was this app !! This app is so helpful, especially if you are on the go as most softball parents are. With the help of this app, my family and I were able to make a email list of target schools. Thank you for the time put in!!

Great app! College help at your finger tips!

Easy to use app with lots of useful information for anyone looking at playing in college and researching schools of interest. Highly recommend it and have used it for information for both my daughters going on to play at a collegiate level!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this awesome feedback!

So helpful!!

For all my softball friends that are looking to play college softball this app is perfect for sending emails and is so helpful to the recruiting process! It’s so simple as you can can just type in what you prefer in a school and it will give you a list of options. I am a Junior class of 2022 and I used this app to find schools that fit my needs and I just recently committed to a school of my dreams!! Thank you softball bound!

For the money

As a parent looking to be as informed as possible this app is adequate. I pay for NCSA, CaptainU, and others which allow contact video and other benefits. This is a quick reference for a school your child might be visiting or talking to via tournaments. This is not a recruiting app this is an info app on colleges that you may be interested in! The info is more up to date compared to above mentioned recruiting programs and does give you email if you want send direct emails with video to the head coach. Best of luck and see you

Thank you Mike for the heartfelt and accurate review of what we hope to do with Softball Bound. Just curious, what would we need to do in order to be a 5 star review? Where did we miss the mark?

Slow

Very slow when searching for schools. Very slow!

Update: They claim to have corrected issues with “updates” but that is not the case. I have also found that when they update with new coaches names, the schools in your favorites, do NOT update. It still shows the old coaches. What a disgrace!!! But I’m sure it will be fixed in the next “update”.

Response from developer

These issues have either never existed or are addressed in our latest versions. Favorites are updated with the latest information available and have been since a very early version of the app. Is it possible that you are using an ios10 device and haven't been able to update the app? Either way please feel free to email ryan@softballbound.com and we will be happy to assist.

Best app for college bound players!

Makes communications with the RIGHT schools easy!
