The Hoops Geek has been great up until the past week where the sub manager has not been loading.

Solid features easy to use

This app is great for creating videos and visuals for coaches and teams to store and use. The only reason it didn’t get 5 starts is because although there is an “optional” button I wish you could do more with plays that have different options.
