The below image may better explain our point. We believed considering this is the apps focal point the icon should be given more significance rather than hiding amongst the many icons scattered across the top of the screen. To select this mode the user just has to click on the cone icon at the top of the screen. Here users can create play by play videos of drills and tactics which feature equipment and annotation. The Drill Builder mode is where the app really shines. This can then potentially be used as a tool to send players match day lineups prior to game day. Once you are happy with your setup there is the option to send a screenshot of your creation via email. You can also add substitute players which are featured outside the field. By adding opposing players to the screen with annotations(lines or comments) you can explain how the team should react in a particular situation. We feel that the home screen mode is best used for displaying a squad’s line up and tactics for match-day. These custom formations can then be saved and used in future for both this mode and the Drill Builder Mode. We found setting up a lineup to be extremely easy to use and worked smoothly as intended. You can also have players outside the field which represent substitutes. If you wanted extra customisations such as having your wingers’ wider than a default formation, user can simply drag and drop the player to the position they want. These range from the widely known 4-4-2 to less common 7 a side formations. Via clicking the folder button users can select over 50 pre-configured formations. In this mode there is also the option for annotating the whiteboard with lines, selecting formation and adding player information. The home screen is setup like a whiteboard in the sense it is made up of a soccer field with markers which are used to represent the home team and opposing players.

These are the home screen which acts as a traditional whiteboard and the the apps main mode in where you build drills which we will refer to through the review as a “Drill Builder Mode”. The app essentially consists of two key modes. The simplicity and directness of this initial screens set the scene for much of the app’s functionality. The first screen you see is a picture of a field with players on it in the classic 4-4-2 formation. Upon opening it doesn’t ask to create a profile or anything of the like. The setup of the app is extremely straight forward. Unfortunately, this wasn’t available to us at the time of writing.

A 9.7-inch iPad has been chosen to review the app as it has greater screen real estate than an iPhone.

Due to the relatively low cost for the value the app provides we recommend considering purchasing the premium version of the app. Nonetheless, this option may be attractive to sporting organisations involved with several sports. Though more often than not a coach will only be involved with one sport therefore not need all the sports available.

There is also the option to buy 6 sports apps in a bundle for $15 AUD.

While the paid version is relatively cheap $4.99USD or $7.99AUD (IOS and Android) you may feel tempted to stick with the free version of the app as it has many of the same features.
