Every time you play an animation it hangs at the end and you have to reset it. ### 5/5 — Coaching Manual on the go. *2017-11-24, version 1.01* Excellent news to be able to access my season plans and sessions more easily. Early days so fingers crossed not to many hidden bugs. 👍🏻👍🏻 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cancellation *2025-04-02, version 1.60* This app is extremely hard to cancel. I have followed up on their cancellation email 3 times. They keep sending me back to the same spot. Absolutely better content out there that you don’t have to go through this ### 1/5 — Session Plans *2022-07-07, version 1.60* Unable to access current day session plan. Only options are future plans which is pointless when at a session. The workaround is to go to the website which is difficult to navigate from a small phone screen. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-04-03, version 1.60* I can’t access anything without upgrading and paying. What’s the point of registration and not even any free content first to see if I like it. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2020-04-02, version 1.51* Won’t stay logged in and kicks me out! Had continued problems with the app. The website isn’t much better and what you pay for isn’t that great as most “content” is free online on other sites. ### 1/5 — Session plans are not accessible *2019-09-10, version 1.42* Sporadic error ### 1/5 — Pocas opciones *2019-07-20* Pocas opciones en comparación a la web. Además, la finalización de la app es bastante mediocre, tales como comandos o botones. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2019-06-09, version 1.30* Why does it say I need to be an upgraded user to use the app..? ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2017-11-24, version 1.01* Paid for subscription and yet the app doesn’t sustain being opened. Embarrassing for those involved ### 2/5 — Mixed bag *2023-10-25, version 1.60* The video content is great but finding the type of session you want is difficult and frustrating. The interface and search is clumsy. I’ll probably not renew my subscription and try another provider tbh ### 2/5 — Content. Not much new content. Also there need to be more explanation around some of the drills *2019-11-15, version 1.43* I’ve been a ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Platform For Coaching and Developing *2023-01-22, version 1.60* I have used multiple apps and online platforms in the past to research content to help me develop my players and improve as a coach. This is so far the best I’ve found and would highly recommend to any coach. The content is great and the webinars are very helpful offering opinions of professionals on different approaches to explain certain drills and situations to your players. ### 5/5 — Review *2022-04-05, version 1.60* Great platform ### 5/5 — Great source of info *2020-09-15, version 1.60* Love the style and way you can adapt your own sessions as well as the ability to just let the app chose for you and add it to your calendar. Would love to have a link from the calendar as I get to the field just link link and take me straight to that says session. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Invaluable Coaching Tool *2020-06-16, version 1.51* Very Helpful and informative coaching program. It has saved me plenty of times when I have been pressed for time. ### 5/5 — Just started *2019-12-01, version 1.43* I just bought this two days ago and I am so excited to get started using it. ### 5/5 — Hanging *2018-09-25, version 1.21* Am a customer with the app but the app lately hanging ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-08-14, version 1.20* I got back into coaching after 30 yrs. Great tool ! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-04-27, version 1.20* Well developed. Easy to navigate and very useful. Would highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-12-08* Looks great, easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great start *2017-11-29, version 1.01* App works well as far as it goes. Season plans for both of my teams are available and I can show the videos to my team out on the pitch. Can we have search next like the website?? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
