You know the parent who waits by the car after the game to ask why their kid barely played. FairPlay helps you make sure that conversation never happens. It works out fair minutes for every child before kick-off, then tracks them live. FairPlay is a substitution manager for volunteer junior football coaches. It plans who plays how long, tells you who to bring on and take off at each sub, and gives you a tidy report to share with parents at full-time. What you get: - Fair minutes worked out before kick-off, so you walk onto the pitch knowing every kid gets a fair go, not doing sums in your head. - One-tap substitutions during the game. The app highlights who comes off and who goes on, so a sub is a couple of taps instead of a guess. - A running match clock, the score, and the bench all on one screen, so you run the whole game from your phone instead of a clipboard and a stopwatch. - Fairness that evens out across the whole season, not just one match, because spare minutes go to the kids who have had the least. - Automatic goalkeeper rotation, including the half-time swap, with time in goal counting toward each kid's fair share. - A match report you can share in one tap, so parents see their child's minutes without you retyping a thing. Who it is for: Volunteer coaches, most of them parents, running a squad of 8 to 14 kids with no coaching background and no time to spare. If you have been managing subs on paper, in the Notes app, or in your head, this is built for you. How it works: 1. Add your squad once, or paste the whole list in at once. 2. Before kick-off, mark who is available and pick your keepers. FairPlay shows you a fair-minutes plan for the match. 3. During the game, follow the sub prompts. At full-time, share the report. No account, no login, no signal needed. FairPlay works at any ground, and your season stays on your phone. Open it, load the sample team to see how it runs, then set up your own in a few minutes. Pricing: FairPlay includes four free match days. After those, your squad, roster and match history stay available at no cost, and running a live match needs one of the following: - FairPlay Annual: an auto-renewing subscription, billed once a year. - FairPlay Lifetime: a one-off purchase, not a subscription. Pricing is set separately for each App Store region, so what you pay depends on the country or region of your Apple Account rather than a conversion from another currency. The exact amount is shown on the App Store product page and again on the purchase screen in the app before you confirm anything. In Australia, the Annual subscription is AUD $7.99 per year and the Lifetime purchase is AUD $39.99. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The Annual subscription renews automatically for a further year at the price set for your region, unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
