User Reviews

Users praise the app for being easy to use and excellent at diagramming plays and helping coaches teach basketball concepts. However, recurring complaints center on pricing and paywalls—only five plays can be saved before paying, with monthly or annual fees that many users find steep. Additional frustration comes from mobile login and reliability issues, and from sharing options that require payment. Overall, strong coaching tool with notable value, but pricing and reliability concerns limit appeal for some users.

Pros

Easy to use / intuitive UI
Great for diagramming plays and sharing visuals with the team
Effective coaching tool for teaching basketball concepts and building game plans

Cons

Paywall after 5 plays; subscription pricing is perceived as expensive
Mobile app reliability issues (login problems, sub-manager loading issues, occasional screen reloads)
Sharing/collaboration features are locked behind a paywall; cannot share with others without paying

Recent reviews

Starting my 35th year of coaching I have tried many products like this and I can tell you that as a 4 year user this is the best of the best. Easy to use and learn. This bad boy does a great job with play design, playbook creation and video animations. I highly recommend it and I am not sponsored by the developer.
