Soccer Manager Pro is the sideline tool for youth and rec coaches who want fair playing time and stress‑free substitutions — without spreadsheets or guesswork. Supports team sizes up to 9 v 9. Built for the touchline: big taps, a clock you can’t leave running by accident, and live time meters on every player so you can see at a glance who needs to come on or off. FAIR PLAYING TIME • Live meters on every card — total minutes, current on‑field stint, and bench rest time. • The stint indicator flashes when a player hits your sub interval, so nobody gets forgotten on the field. • Field Log grid shows each player’s minutes by position — plus goals — for the whole game. FAST SUBSTITUTIONS • Tap a player, tap a spot to move them; whoever they displace waits on the bench to be reassigned. • Tap a bench player then a position to sub in. Swap two players with a long‑press, a two‑finger swap, or a drag. • Stage several changes, preview the move arrows, and commit them all at once. SUB HISTORY • Every change is logged with the game time. Flash back through your substitutions to see who came on for whom. QUICK LINEUPS • Save your starting lineup (or favorite blocks) and recall them in one tap. SCORE & GOALS • Double‑tap a team’s score to add, triple‑tap to remove — goals stay linked to the player who scored. IN‑GAME ALERTS • Sub, hydration, and half‑time alerts pulse the clock and buzz your phone and watch. • Set hydration breaks to any time (defaults to quarter and three‑quarter time). • Exclude the goalie from alerts, or silence vibrations, right from Timer Options. • Correct a missed pause/resume by setting the clock — player stint times shift with it. APPLE WATCH • Mirror the game on your wrist: clock, score, field players, and the same alerts. • Adjust the score, run staged subs, and start/pause the game right from the watch. MULTIPLE GAMES & FORMATIONS • Four independent game slots, each with its own roster, formation, and timer. • Build custom formations with named positions and color bands, then apply them mid‑game. SHARE • Live Share mirrors your game to an iPad tactical board and other iPhones on the same network in real time. • Send a full saved game — roster, formation, timer, quick lineups, and sub history — to another coach as an encrypted file. Share it by AirDrop, Mail, or Messages; the recipient saves the file, opens it, and confirms the import. END OF GAME • Long‑press pause to end the game — stats freeze as FINAL for review, and you can still adjust the score. No account required. No ads. Your data stays on your device.
