FIX IT ALREADY!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Need more *2011-05-16* Need a newer version ASAP. Keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Terrible- crashes!!! *2011-02-21* The app crashes all the time. It has a huge potential and if it did what it says I would love it. Unfortunately, it won't stay open long enough for me to make a play. I can't rename my plays or save them. The recording function doesn't work either. Please update and fix the crashes!!! ### 2/5 — Would be great, *2011-02-06* If whenever I tried to name a play it wouldn't crash. Also needs a quicker pass animation. Full court, out of bounds, and defense would make this app a must buy for all basketball fans, coaches, and players. ### 3/5 — It's ok *2011-01-25* I love the animation feature! I think this app is great, but every time you try to save a play, the app crashed. Please fix it! ### 2/5 — Crashes *2010-12-29* This app always crashes when I try to save the play. It gets really frustrating. Please fix it. ### 3/5 — Almost there! *2010-12-07* Crashes are frustrating but the app is good. Add screens and out of bound plays and it will easily be the best app. ### 1/5 — Crash bandiapp *2010-11-27* It crashes so bad. Needs full court!! Please update! ### 3/5 — App crashes *2010-10-29* App crashes at random. I was hoping there's an update for that by now. I take scree shots of sequential player movements of the play but when it crashes, I have to start all over. ### 3/5 — B151 *2010-09-13* App is okay. Desperatly needs an option for a full court view/ play draw up… and if there was the option for placing defenders into the play this app would be top notch. ## Frequently asked questions about Touch Playbook ### What is Touch Playbook?
