Read full description

An easy-to-use soccer tactics board. The side lined up in one go, players registered in a minute. Free to start. Pick a formation from the list and press "Apply" — that is all it takes. Tap the players on the board and type their names, and the starting eleven goes in in about a minute. Players and formations you register once stay in the app, so from the next tactic on you just pick. ■ Register once, then just pick • Player roster: build the roster once, then just call it up. No retyping names, no retyping numbers. You can also paste a list to register several players at once. • Player groups: keep a separate roster for each age group or squad and switch between them. Moving from the first team to the juniors never mixes them up. • Saved formations: shirt numbers, roles and the shape are saved. One tap on "Apply" brings your usual line-up back exactly as it was. • Custom formations: a shape that is not in the list can be added too. Move the players on the board and press "Add current positions"; from then on you pick it from the formation list. • Attacking and defending shapes (Pro only): keep one shape with its roles for attacking and another for defending, and swap between them instantly with a single icon. These are account-wide settings, not settings inside one tactic. The preparation you do once becomes the speed you get every time after. ■ Free to start The free version is not a trial. There is no time limit: 3 tactics with 5 scenes each, 1 player group, 1 custom formation and 1 saved formation line-up stay free for as long as you like. A banner ad is shown. ■ Show the movement, and plan training sessions too • Animation: chain scenes together and play them back, so the movement is shown as movement. Export it as a video or GIF to share. • Training sessions: place 12 kinds of equipment, including cones, poles, mannequins and mini goals. A session can be chained into scenes and played back too. • Drawing: arrows, lines, rectangles, ellipses, text and freehand. Lines can be straight, wavy or curved, and solid, dashed or dotted; ends can carry an arrow, a cross or a T-bar. • Shirt numbers and roles: choose per team whether the shirt shows the number or a role such as CF or CMF. Roles you have used before can be picked from the suggestions. • Line of sight: show not only where a player is standing but where they are looking. Move the ball and the players turn to follow it automatically. • Substitutions and the bench: handle changes and bench places directly on the board. • 11-a-side, plus 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and 3-a-side and shapes without a goalkeeper; full pitch or half pitch. • My tactics can be sorted into folders. • Export: a PNG image, a video, a GIF, and a tactics file you can open and edit again later. ■ Change device, and the preparation comes with you Sign in and the same tactics open on every phone, tablet and computer on that account. There is a browser version as well, and signing in there opens the same tactics with the same Pro access. Roster, player groups and saved formations belong to the account too, so adding a device never means entering them again. Without signing in, your data is saved on this device. ■ Languages Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese ■ Pitch Studio Pro (monthly, auto-renewing) Pro raises the limits to 50 tactics with 50 scenes each, 50 player groups and 50 custom formations, lets you save more than one formation line-up, adds the attacking and defending shapes, and removes the ads. • Payment is charged to your App Store account • The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends • You can cancel in your App Store account settings Terms of Use: https://pitch-studio-info.pages.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://pitch-studio-info.pages.dev/privacy

GameSense

Track your matches, not your training plan. GameSense is made for people who play football for the love of the game: the weekly five-a-side, Sunday league, futsal with colleagues or a pickup game in the park. Start a match on your Apple Watch with one tap, play, and afterwards see how hard you worked and how you're improving over time. ONE TAP ON YOUR WRIST Start a match from your Apple Watch whenever you're ready. During the game, GameSense stays out of your way: big buttons, simple screens and only what matters on the pitch. • Live heart rate at a glance • Pause and resume for half-time and breaks • Keep the score with a single tap for your team or the opponents • Track when you're on the bench, so swaps don't skew your stats • Log which position you're playing, from goalkeeper to striker HOW HARD WAS THAT GAME? Every match gets a Session Intensity score from 1 to 100, based on how hard your heart worked, for how long, and how quickly you recovered. You get a first score as soon as the match ends, and a refined one shortly after, once your recovery is measured. GameSense notifies you when it's ready. Once you've played a few games, GameSense tells you whether a match was harder or easier than your usual one. EVERY MATCH IN DETAIL Open any match on your iPhone to see: • Final score and your own match name • Active playing time, total time including breaks, and distance covered • A heart-rate chart with zones, with breaks clearly marked • A timeline of your positions and bench time across the whole match SEE YOUR PROGRESS Your match history opens with your progress at a glance: how many matches you've played this month and where your intensity is heading. The Stats tab shows your trends over the time period you choose, including how your time is split between positions. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH GameSense saves your matches to Apple Health as workouts. Already tracked a soccer workout with another app or Apple's Workout app? GameSense imports it into your history too, and you can add the score and a name afterwards. MADE FOR CASUAL PLAYERS No coaching plans, no pro-level analytics. Just a simple, encouraging way to see how you played and enjoy watching yourself get fitter, match after match. Optional motivational nudges help you keep going, and you can turn them off at any time. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your health data is used only to show your matches and calculate your stats. We never sell your data or use it for advertising. REQUIREMENTS Recording matches requires an Apple Watch paired with your iPhone. Without a watch, you can still view soccer workouts imported from Apple Health. SUBSCRIPTION GameSense requires a subscription, available monthly or yearly. Where a free trial is offered, its length and the price afterwards are shown before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless it's cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings after purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GameSense at none against Pitch Studio's shown. Pitch Studio's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
