User Reviews

Reviewers repeatedly praise cross‑device use, ease of drawing and sharing plays, and solid support, but the consensus is that the base app is mostly a viewer and requires a pricey editing upgrade to create. Many cite deceptive pricing, hidden costs, and limited upfront functionality, especially on iPad. The buying model and feature gaps tend to outweigh the initial appeal for potential users seeking a fully functional playbook designer.

Pros

Outstanding support with quick answers
Works across Mac, iPad, and iPhone; easy to share
Easy to operate and draw plays, especially with straight lines
A capable tool for designing playbooks and football plays within its price range

Cons

Base app is only a viewer; editing/creating requires a separate paid editing app
Pricing and description can be misleading; $1.99 starter leads to a $37–$40 upgrade to edit
Limited functionality on iPad; issues adding fields or seeing hash marks/numbers; some features require the full version
Some reviews report the app does nothing or is not sampleable until you pay
Missing features like renaming pages/plays and saving to external apps; perceived as incomplete

I have used this product since the mid to late 90’s. I used it first with Mac then Windows and now, since 2010, with Mac again. The support system is outstanding, just call them and your questions are answered immediately. I’ve found it very easy to operate and perfect for play cards, playbooks and practically anything/everything football software related. Why it’s rated 2.5 out of 5 is way beyond me, I’d say it should be more like a 4.9 out of 5. Love it!

I use this app on my MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and iPhone. I love it. For what I want it’s perfect. I don’t really care about uploading video or playing the plays with motion. I find the easy of drawing plays with straight lines is great. Easy to share.
