Terrible
The old team snap was great. People intentionally left crossbar, so they could use a more user friendly platform, but then they came out with team snap ONE and it is worse than cross bar. Managers cannot email teams. You cannot see who placed reactions in chats. You can’t even use your computer to do anything with your team. This is the worse sports app.

Mid compared to old app
Way better on the ads and not interrupting the info we’re trying to get every time you log in as well as the ability to add videos. However, not being able to keep the in-game updates of timekeeping and chat feature of live games is lacking. It would also be great to have the ability to see parents contact information or player profile pictures. It’s always great putting faces to names when you forget them or are on a new team.

Lack of features
Not having the features like using a web interface is less than ideal when managing multiple teams and clubs. And I feel like it is more time consuming and less user friendly. Not sure the user experience testing was done to the level it needed to be.
App is great
New app is great, please incorporate the tournament snap app into snap one to make this more user friendly
Pay wall
Gross, how dare you ask me to pay another subscription on top of all the other fees just to see a freaking team schedule of a te I already paid for my child to be on, or the alternative is to waste my time with bs ads to get pass the pay wall. Stop monetizing my kid and bombarding me with dumb ads, I don’t want to watch a candy crush app just to see what time practice or a game is!!!!
Gross and you should be ashamed! The pay wall belongs to the school or org that chooses this bs platform not the end user who already paid for registration, uniform, tuition, parking, ect. Have a day you disgusting capitalist pos

Response from developer
Hi there - thank you for your feedback. I just wanted to make sure it was clear that TeamSnap+ is entirely optional and not required in order to see your team schedule or team chats. I'd love to talk with you about this feedback to figure out how we can make that more clear in the experience. If you are interested in a quick conversation, please reach out to nick.sehn@teamsnap.com. Thanks! Nick Sehn VP Product
Downgrade
Awful. Cannot view on desktop. Also when you sync calendars, it syncs all events regardless of the team you want to sync. For example, if I wanted to sing just one of my kids schedules that’s on the app, it won’t let me. It’ll sync kid number one schedule as well as kid number two schedule. This is such a downgrade.

Don’t do it
So cluttered. No place to upload pictures, files or anything. Everything goes into the chat making it a nightmare to keep up with what is needed to see.
Multiple kids, forget it.
Use the original team snap. This one isn’t it.

Awful
The new version of this app is awful. I used to be able to run the clock in a live feed of games. Now there is no clock and no way to add commentary. It literally only allows you to keep score and add a picture or video. Or, you can live stream if you pay a fee. Awful.
Also, you can’t just see contact info.. You have to click into it and it kicks you over to your mail app like you’re going to send an email.
You also cannot access this app from a desktop. Terrible “upgrades”.

I like it
User friendly
Easy to navigate
I like how easy it is to find things and use.
Just a giant step backward
I have never seen an app downgrade every aspect of its functionality like this. It’s terrible from a manager’s point of view and it somehow got worse in game. I will be looking for an alternative and will switch away after five years of using TeamSnap as soon as possible.
More of a Downgrade than an Upgrade
This app is terrible. Outside of messaging, no useful functionality compared to the previous version. There is no online version available for use either. No player data exports. No stat tracking. No way to email information to people. There is no good reason to switch to this platform whatsoever, especially if you’ve used the regular TeamSnap version or another platform.

TeamSnap One Is a Major Step Backward for Team Managers
I have used the original TeamSnap platform for several years as both a team manager and a parent. While the original platform was not perfect, it provided practical features that made managing a team much easier, including web browser access for team managers and the ability to communicate by email.
TeamSnap One feels like a significant step backward. Web access is now limited to club administrators and directors, which means team managers are expected to enter schedules, tournaments, practices, locations, and detailed event information through a mobile app. Entering that amount of information on a phone is inefficient and unnecessarily frustrating, especially when it could be completed much faster and more accurately with a keyboard and web browser.
Communication options have also been reduced. Previously, I could send emails to the team in addition to using chat. Now, I appear to be limited to the built-in chat feature, which is less flexible and not always appropriate for detailed team announcements.
I opened a support ticket about the lack of browser access. TeamSnap’s proposed solution was for the club to grant me a higher level of access than I should need as a team manager. That is not a reasonable solution. A properly designed platform should provide permissions appropriate to each role, not require a club to grant excessive administrative access so a volunteer can perform basic team-management tasks from a web browser.
TeamSnap One may work well for players, parents, club administrators, and directors. However, for team managers—the volunteers responsible for entering schedules, organizing tournaments, sharing information, and handling much of the day-to-day administrative work—the experience is extremely poor. The people doing most of the work seem to have been given the fewest practical tools to do it.
I have worked in IT for more than 25 years, with experience spanning application development and design, systems administration, systems and network architecture, cybersecurity, IT operations, and technology management. From both a user-experience and security perspective, I am genuinely surprised that these limitations were introduced as part of a supposed platform upgrade. Removing useful functionality, forcing volunteers to perform administrative work from a mobile device, and recommending excessive permissions as a workaround are not improvements.
Had I known the club was moving to TeamSnap One and been aware of its limitations before I agreed to be a team manager again, I would have declined the role. Team managers are volunteers, and the platform should make their responsibilities easier, not create additional frustration and unnecessary work.
Someone from our club indicated that the organization was required to move to TeamSnap One, although I have not been able to confirm whether that is true. If clubs still have the option to remain on the original platform, my recommendation is simple: do not migrate until TeamSnap One is actually an upgrade.
In its current form, TeamSnap One is not an upgrade. It is a less capable product that makes team management more difficult for the people responsible for doing the work.
If someone from TeamSnap would like to reach out, I would be happy to walk them through these issues from the perspective of an experienced team manager, parent, and IT professional. A successful upgrade begins with understanding how customers actually use the product, preserving the functionality they depend on, and making their work easier rather than taking essential tools away.

Use it for little league
Very helpful with staying ontop of our kids soccer schedule
Absolutely Horrible
Who makes a new app that is less user friendly and has less features and options than its previous version. This in no way is an upgrade but a significant downgrade from the previous version. Hopefully they make major changes, but they shouldn’t have launched this version as it is.
Not one to complain, but…
I am about the last person to complain, but the TeamSnap One capabilities are a major step back. Read the other reviews to see what got lost. Those things were important in actually running a team. I can’t even figure out how to download my roster. Why?
Original Teamsnap is so much better
Teamsnap One has eliminated most of the functions that made original Teamsnap so great. The new team chat is limited, there is no longer an email option, no alerts, no live chatting, no ability to make rsvp notes for attendance, etc. I am so sad this awful app is replacing Teamsnap
Downhill
I don’t know who or what was the motivation behind the “upgrade” from Teamsnap to this One app, but it’s worse all nearly all accounts. More difficult to use, fewer features, and overall a downgrade to end users and team planners alike.
Missing Essential Functionality
This app feels like it was released before it was ready. It is missing several basic features that are essential for managing a team efficiently, and it will require significant updates before it is a practical replacement for the previous experience. Some of the biggest issues include:
* No web portal is available; all management must be done through the mobile app.
* Recurring events cannot be edited as a series. Each event must be updated individually, creating unnecessary work.
* Players and additional contacts can only be added through the mobile app; this functionality is not available elsewhere.
* There is no option to upload media (such as field maps, forms, or other team documents) except within the team chat, making important resources difficult to organize and access.
* Several standard features that were available previously are now missing, resulting in reduced functionality.

Terrible
This “upgraded” app got rid of all the features I found useful in the original teamsnap app. I can no longer see player contact information easily without clicking to call someone or send an email. You can no longer send a group email through the app. While the chat is nice it’s not always efficient for some messages. I can no longer view and sync each team individually on the calendar. This is very inconvenient when having multiple kids playing multiple sports. You can no longer enter games or even see teams on a computer which means everything has to be done through the mobile app. This makes it take significantly longer to enter a full season’s worth of games and practices. The more I use the app the less I like it which is why I’m choosing to use a different app even though my club uses teamsnap one. Even free apps are better than this paid one.
