What's New in TeamChooser

2.4

July 7, 2025

Two important improvements: 1) you can now send/share the chosen teams, through a text file, by email or any app that accepts a text file. No more copying the names to send out! 2) You can share the games with other TeamChooser users by exporting a CSV (comma separated file) to them via email, and they can import it into team chooser. Also, you can use a spreadsheet editor to edit the CSV file and use it to discuss with others who don't run TeamChooser. Also, there is now only one algorithm - the previously named 'super optimizer' is the only one available.

User reviews

Not recommended

App has crashed twice on me when I first started using it. Also whenever I try to add players and press "save" my players aren't being added.

Great

Just what I was looking for, could possibly add a few adjustments -

1) instead of the current icons something that represents playing position eg goal keeper/defence /attack

2) add an all round option to defence / attack ?

3) ability to manually tweak and swap players

4) to make it even more versatile maybe the ability to make more then just 2 teams , I.e split list of players into 4 teams

Team Chooser is a great app!

I run a pick up mens hockey group, where each week, different players are present for the games. Picking even, fair teams has always been a challenge. With Team Chooser, I input the possible players, indicate if they are offense or defense (to ensure both teams have enough D) and then assign a numeric value to each player based on their impact on the game. (The app has great guidance on this critical part of the process) Then I create a game for that date, check off the players who will be playing and hit the pick teams button. Voila! Fair balanced teams are set. The app evens out the defense on both sides and we are good to go. There is a tweak button that swaps evenly ranked players as well. You can also pre assign a player or players (like the team captains) so they always end up on opposite sides, Its really slick. Plus the creators of the app are ready willing and able to offer support and assistance. I've been running this group for 30+ years and have used any number of technologies to try to make things work better and this app is the best by far! Check it out!

Stops the aggro!

Simple to use selector. If you're like me and have the unenviable task of choosing teams every week and have to try to mix it up a little to give every one a fair game - then this app is certainly for you! It has taken the trouble out of choosing and it is an app I was longing for someone to create. Now they have! Easy to use, simply put in the names of your players, Christian or nick name, give them a playing value out of 10 (it pays to let a few people decide this then it's not your bias) don't put in offensive or defensive if you don't want to (it keeps it more random) the press select - job done! And if people disagree you can tweak or swap equally rated players! 59p VERY WELL SPENT! Don't think twice!

Hockey, basketball, baseball, football even tennis...

Great app if you're organizing pickup games. Easy to use and simple. Would be nice if it integrated texts and emails with the player database. Overall, good bang for your buck!
