Whistled for being out of rotation? Lost track of who serves next? VolleyWheel is a rotation board for volleyball coaches. Set your six on the wheel, spin it to follow the serve order, and keep a separate lineup for every set — all on your phone, on the sideline. HOW IT WORKS • Add your players — a short name, a color, and a jersey number or role • Drag them onto the wheel — each slice holds a front-row and a back-row player • Spin the wheel with your finger, or tap Rotate, to walk through all six rotations • Keep a lineup per set — your wheel is always saved; tap + for a fresh one and switch between them anytime BUILT FOR THE SIDELINE • Big, clear cards you can read at a glance • One-tap undo, clear wheel, and rotate • Optional zone numbers (1–6) on the wheel for teaching the serve order • Wood, grass, or sand floor; light or dark mode PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Everything you create stays on your iPhone and is never sent anywhere. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE Free for one team with up to three saved lineups. A single $2.99 purchase (no subscription) unlocks unlimited teams and unlimited lineups.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ballbutton at none against VolleyWheel's 1. Ballbutton also leads on ratings volume (606 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). VolleyWheel's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
