Lineup Manager+ is the ultimate baseball and softball lineup app — now with the AI Lineup Assistant and built-in walkup music. NEW: AI LINEUP ASSISTANT Tell it what you need in plain words, like "Mike pitches the first three innings," "Sleva catches at least 3 innings," or "Put Maria at the top of the order." It builds a complete lineup in seconds: every inning's positions plus a batting order, with playing time shared fairly. It follows your team rules, such as "at least 4 girls on the field." It can also use each player's preferred positions and recent games. You always review the lineup before anything changes. Game-day changes are covered too. If a player gets hurt, leaves early or arrives late, uncheck them, add a sub, and regenerate. You choose whether to stay close to the current lineup or start fresh, and innings already played stay exactly as they were. Everything runs on your device with Apple Intelligence. Your roster never leaves your iPhone or iPad. Create and manage multiple teams with a universal player roster. Build detailed lineups with drag-and-drop positioning, assign players to positions inning-by-inning, and track your bench. Set walkup songs for every player with Apple Music, trim tracks to the perfect clip, and play them on game day. Share polished lineup cards with your team via text, email, or AirDrop. Features: • AI Lineup Assistant: fair, complete lineups from your own words • Rebuild a lineup mid-game for injuries, late arrivals and subs • Team rules applied to every lineup, including co-ed rules • Build inning-by-inning lineups with drag-and-drop • Manage multiple teams and a shared player roster • Track throwing hand, batting side and gender for each player • Add temp subs or subs from any of your teams, with their own walkup songs • Set walkup songs for each player with Apple Music • Trim walkup tracks to the perfect clip • Track games with opponents, scores, locations, and weather • Sync games to your calendar automatically • Share lineup cards as images • Email your entire roster in one tap • Customize positions, labels, and team appearance • Keep your screen awake while you run the lineup • Sync across all your devices with iCloud Whether you're coaching rec league or travel ball, Lineup Manager+ keeps your season organized from first pitch to last out.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lineup Manager+ at 100% against AHL's 15%. Lineup Manager+ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). AHL's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (194 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
