It’s a promising start that has the opportunity to add value for providing direct feedback to goalies and players. ### 4/5 — Solid *2021-08-26, version 4.1.3* A lot of great programming and ideas ### 2/5 — Needs Updating *2021-01-04, version 4.1.1* The Mobile App version does not open images that were loaded into the Plan Builder. Images loaded into the Plan Builder via the desktop version or by the App cannot be opened. When attempting to open an image from my mobile device (iPhone) the App closes. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t always work. *2021-01-04, version 4.1.1* Half the time I try to use it & all the content is unavailable. I have to delete the app and re-download it, several times, to get it running properly again. ### 5/5 — A great start! *2020-11-09, version 4.1.1* A good place to begin in creating practice plans. Still figuring out tools and gadget but a very helpful tool Joe M ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-11-05, version 4.1.1* Way to go team USA, from Canada! ### 2/5 — Can we please get an update for modern iOS version? *2020-10-20, version 4.1* Videos don’t play. Would be great to be used but that’s a limiting factor. Password doesn’t accept special characters with account, had to reset my password to get in with something less complicated despite it working online. ### 5/5 — Fundamentals *2020-08-13, version 4.1* Great app and diagrams really help to execute a good practice and fundamental hockey play ### 5/5 — Québec *2019-11-03, version 4.1* Impressionnant ! Bravo ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-11-03, version 4.1* Love the app use it every week. I’ve learned so much since I started 6 years ago. Thanks ### 5/5 — Best app. *2019-10-28, version 4.1* As a Canadian... I’m a little ashamed to say that this app is way better than the hockey Canada app. ### 5/5 — Great Coaching Tool *2019-10-27, version 4.1* I love this app because I play hockey and I want to learn more about how I can do better in games. Every time I’m going to practice or game I whip out my phone and watch some skating and shooting videos. It really helps me visualize what I’m going to do while I’m practicing. I really recommend this app for beginners or people who want to get better at hockey, it’s a great online coach and it helps a lot!!!! ### 4/5 — Videos have no sound *2019-10-27, version 4.1* Need to update as Video sound no longer works on iOS 13... ### 5/5 — Good Overall *2019-07-31, version 4.1* Very useful, and much easier to use than when it first came out. The stat tracking is great to have and fairly simple. It isn’t all that easy to track multiple players at once, or for instance do whole line stats at the same time. I like that they let you track shot areas in addition to traffic/no traffic- I haven’t noticed if it does that offensively as well but I don’t think so. Having separate tracking for practices and games is great as well. The main thing I’ve found that could use an update is when you “add to favorites”- it would be useful if it allowed you to create folders that you could save to. That way when you want specific things, they are easier to find. We are running a stick handling/shooting clinic separate from our team practice early in the year, so being able to add them to multiple folders would be useful. I know you can add them to practice plan already, but there are some things I only want to attach as reminders to myself. ### 3/5 — Works ok for what I need it for *2019-01-04, version 4.1* Love the concept of this app, and have been using it since last season. However, there is a big glitch in the stat tracking that is driving me bonkers. I have two goalies on my team, and track each games save stats. Only about 1 in 3 games will track records on a new record for that days player. The other two thirds look like they will track fine until you enter data, but nothing increases. The data is instead aggravating on another entry. I love the coaching tools, practice plans, and quick access to drill videos, but I would really love this app if the stats tracking issue could be resolved. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-11-01, version 4.1.1* The app crashes every time i try to click anything inside the app ### 1/5 — Cannot sign in on app, but works on web *2020-10-13, version 4.1* Even though I can sign in fine on the web as a coach, the app login fails every time. ### 1/5 — Great Concept, Poor Execution *2018-12-04, version 4.1* There are some great drills and ideas with this app. Honestly, I don’t even think it is missing anything once it works how it looks like it should. Unfortunately, it does not work as it should. I have saved about seven drills from my white board, but none of it works in the plan builder. Multiple crashes when trying to put together the practice plan. Oddly enough, I don’t think there has been an update to this app for a bit, yet options that worked a month ago, don’t work now. It’s frustrating to put so much time into building plans and creating drills to have the app crash and not save the work. Bout time for an update... ### 1/5 — Get the book. Horrible mom's basement app. *2018-11-29, version 4.1* Most drills and skills don't show up on the screen....ever. Fire this tech firm USA Hockey ### 1/5 — Not worth using *2018-11-28, version 4.1* The plans won’t save when you use the Plan Builder. I’ll spend an hour or more making a plan, attaching drills from the app’s database (which are poorly described and the graphics are FAR too small to see, even on an iPad) and click “save” on every item. Then when ice time comes, I’ll open up the app and find that NOTHING was saved at all. Every feature of this app is useless. My advice is to go old school until the devs fix it, just bring a whiteboard to practice. At least then your whole practice plan won’t get randomly deleted. ### 1/5 — No access *2018-11-27, version 4.1* I don’t know how to word this other than it won’t open anything for me, I’ve sat here and tried to open everything one at a time and have given it 30 minutes to load but literally nothing will open for me to see ### 1/5 — Drills won’t load for me. *2018-09-26, version 4.1* Maybe because I have an iPhone 6? ### 1/5 — Bad update *2017-12-06, version 4.0* Just updated and now the app doesn’t work!! deleted it, reinstalled and still nothing, app crashes while trying to load. Do not update!!! ### 1/5 — App crashes when logging in *2017-12-06, version 4.0* Never fixed a problem the previous version had. Cannot use the new features without logging in and every log in attempt causes the app to crash. Great ideas but it just doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — 4.0 doesn’t work *2017-12-05, version 4.0* Can’t get the app to even open! Please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Canadians using this app *2023-10-03, version 4.1.3* Thank you hockey USA for this app as hockey Canada is falling behind. I’m a first time coach U9 lots of free plans and drills. Thank you ### 5/5 — This is the best app for hockey plays! *2023-01-02, version 4.1.3* I’ve been using this app for a little now and it’s helped me score more goals in my games, with all the deceptions and deke plays they show you all you got to do is practice them! ### 5/5 — Great *2022-08-28, version 4.1.3* This App is very helpful for coaches just starting out or advanced. ### 5/5 — Great App *2022-07-30, version 4.1.3* Thank you USA hockey from a 🇨🇦🥅🏒 ### 5/5 — Well don *2022-02-11, version 4.1.3* Full of great material. Well organized ### 5/5 — Very well rounded tool for coaching *2021-11-08, version 4.1.3* Ive played hockey and now I’m pursuing coaching our local team, and we’ve had a very mild variety of drills in our arsenal, this app allows me and my team of coaches to not only utilize our ice better but opens doors to new drills and videos that have helped our team out tremendously ### 5/5 — Excellent coaching tool *2021-10-16, version 4.1.3* I have recently started assisting with my son’s U8 hockey and find this app to be an awesome resource. I am planning to start conducting off ice training and was looking for drill ideas, which I figured I’d have to search and compile on my own. This app has already done that, so I have to look no further. ### 5/5 — Best practice plans around *2021-09-15, version 4.1.3* Great age appropriate practice plans. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2021-05-31, version 4.1.3* This app is awesome! Currently using it to help develop a minnows coaching plan/scheme for our club and the app is an invaluable reference source. ### 5/5 — Hockey Mobile Coach *2021-03-02, version 4.1.1* This is a wonderful tool I use daily. Please never take it away! Jeff McGovern --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
