Once a great app, but…
It’s a shame they changed it. Terrible interface. Unusable. Don’t do it.
Terrible changes
Big step backwards with recent changes - please revert. Need the ability to tell the app how many a side it is and what time etc, all flexibility has been lost
Doesn’t work. Even after 3 updates
Good premise but for a paid app that doesn’t work, disappointing. Hasn’t worked for a month
Great update and huge time saver
The updated version of SubNow is amazing. The basic version retains all the prior functionality, while the pro version adds player positions that are a life saver when planning a lineup for game day. I used to manage positions with a manual spreadsheet, but now I’m able to plan a game in a few minutes—with the confidence that I’m giving players equitable time on the field. Also, the option to print the substitution plan makes it easy to hand a copy of the game plan to coaches or mark up during the game. This version is a big step forward!

Lifesaver
It’s been a real ‘game changer,’ pardon the pun. Fun to use and has taken the stress out of what should be a fun day for everyone. I find myself far more focussed on the actual game… the way it should be. Thanks :)
Terrible - ignore the review history
This was a great app, and priced fairly. The recent update make it the least user friendly app available, and far too expensive. The history of positive reviews is completely warranted, but disregard them. This is not the same app now. Very sad really.
Use to be good
The update has made this app useless, lots of glitches, don’t waste your money
Won’t refund money
The redesign of this app is terrible. I thought I was getting a free trial but I suppose because I had one before of an older version it wouldn’t let. Well, the new app is garbage and I let them know. I asked for a refund but have been ignored. When creating your team it has limited options and doesn’t let you customize it to fit your needs. Bad redesign, bad service, bad app.

Too many bugs & Rushed
Old app was better, no 9v9 GK, can’t change duration on when to sub just to name 2 so far I have noticed needs work please fix asap.
New update
What was great about this app was its simplicity, now it’s over complicated and has removed things like halves in basketball.
Will move to another option

A step backwards
I contributed to earlier versions of this app, and it’s disappointing to see the direction it has taken.
The simplicity and reliability that made it useful are no longer there, and the experience now feels more complicated than it needs to be.
Coaches need something fast, intuitive, and dependable during real games, this version struggles to deliver that.
There are newer, more modern tools that handle substitutions and equal playtime far more effectively.

Update
New update is trash, the old model was heaps better , grandfinal tonight thanks SubNow 😵💫😵💫
Prefer the last
Not broke so why fix it. Didn’t need an overhaul. Will look elsewhere
New update is a huge regression 👎
I’ve been using SubNow for a around 3 years and it’s been great. Simple and intuitive. Clear instructions and a user journey that made sense. I have an update today and instead of incremental improvements it’s had a complete facelift. Lots of issues I’ve faced:
- There’s no 9v9 option.
- Game time is max 50 mins.
- I can only select 12 players.
- It’s clunky to use.
- The UI used to be light and fresh but now feels heavy and dark.
The whole thing feels like a huge backwards step. Very disappointing.
I wonder if any user research has been done with this because it feels like a down grade in features and overall experience.
I never write reviews or complain but I have really enjoyed using this app over the years and I hope some of the points above are taken onboard otherwise I don’t think I’ll be renewing my subscription.

Update has made app useless
Terrible since update. Can’t populate the team into the game, essentially rendering the app useless
6 player limit in trial mode
Not usable unless u pay
Missing “Edit” button
Hi, great app only issue I am finding is that I don’t have the “Edit” button at the bottom right side of the app as shown in the video. Caused an issue in today’s game when I couldn’t make an adjustment when a player came off injured. Any suggestions?
Awesome!!
Great app! Awesome for rec leagues where equal playing time is important to kids and parents. Highly recommended!!
Almost perfect
The app is great and makes it so easy to manage rotations, but the edit button is missing so there is no way to make a change during a game as per the faq and instructions
Well Worth the $2.64!!!!
Stumbled upon this app after feeling defeated coaching my first game of soccer ever - who would have known how difficult it would be to try to substitute kids in and out of the game?!? And here I thought I’d be coaching fundamentals of soccer this season not trying to heard sheep lol! This app is awesome and allows you to throw away the spreadsheet that you spent 4 hours developing to make sure kids get even playing time! My only wishes? That it would be a one time fee instead of monthly and that maybe you could have an optional category for rotating offense, defense and goalie as we go up in age levels? Right now we only have to rotate out the goalie and I can do that manually but would love a rotating goalie option if you put out another version. In the same new version I think it would be awesome to be able to program who switches with who without having to hit the fast forward button the entire game before game time. I tend to run out of time during the game to do the switches but if I could switch the subs before the game without having to hit Fast Forward that would be awesome! Overall, this app is awesome and really has been a huge helper for my 1st/2nd Grade team! Thank you!
