Stack Team App

I coach 3 levels of volleyball and have 3 Team App pages that I manage for my teams. This app is very user friendly and I’m able to do a lot of customization to fit our needs. There have been times when i needed help and emailed customer support And I’ve received a response in less than 24 hours. There are a couple features I’d like to see such as being able to see a list of all members who have viewed a particular message. It will show the first five if so people but once additional members view the message, it will just tell how many have seen it. I’d also like the ability to send the same message across all teams but the simple fix is just to cut and paste. I tried about 10 apps before choosing one. I had 3 members of my family download all the finalists and everyone thought this was the best one. And it’s free. My daughter is on other teams which use two different apps and they are not nearly as good or functional. Basically just a glorified text thread. Not Team App. It has so many other features. As an admin, I just had to play around with it to figure out all it can do and I’m certain I still have things to learn. I just hope they never remove the app or the support. It’s really a fantastic app for coaches and families.

This app allows links to related websites, like spirit-wear, cheer teams, Facebook, franchise websites, and sponsors. It allows for all documents and all links to documents in one place. It would be infinitely better if documents could be deleted or if access to documents could be changed AFTER they are created. I had numerical docs set up for ease to release on specific dates, with specific access in mind, only to find later that the docs were permanently inaccessible to non-administrators. I can load everything twice, but I think that Team App support might find a way to fix this issue for the benefit of everyone using the app. In all fairness, I haven’t spoken with support about it yet, but this was probably a foreseeable problem. There are so many great things about the app that make it useful, such as ability to add links to maps of playing field locations, team schedules, scores, etc. I have only begun to get all of the functions working, and people are amazed at how nice it is to have everything in one place. I’m hoping the functions will get even better in time. Other than the documents access problems, this app is terrific.

For the most part, I like this app. There are so many things I like about it, but let me tell you about the things I don’t like. The chat seems to update very slow, and sometimes sends double messages or half messages. They end up clearing up later, but us a pain when communicating instantly. I have to keep refreshing. Also, I should be able to edit my messages if I make a mistake on describing something to my team, I should not have to completely retype it. Also, I could not find a way to change scheduled practices to games without changing everything in the future due to recurring events. I should be able to select to not change other events. It was easy to enter all our practice dates recurring, then it was a nightmare to later change some of those dates to matches without affecting everything in the future on that day. Other than that, I would gladly give a 5th star if these issues were fixed.

This app is terrible. Falls short in many ways. 1) Can't easily find a team membership directory of players and parents. Instead the directory includes some players from our team and random other players from other unrelated teams. 2) Availabilities is awkward and frustrating. You can't easily update availabilities. InsteAd you have to go into individual events and you can't see which dates you have updated for availability unless going back into the event, causing you to go into the event again and again to double check whether you have updated that event. 3) Event (Calendar) will show new event, but it is hard to find the new event. Sometimes the new event doesn't show so you really never know if you have a new event without scrolling through the entire calendar. 4) Ads. We get served ads which is just frustrating. My other children's teams use Team Snap which is heads and shoulders much better. Calendar, Events, Roster and player list are all easy to navigate. I wish this GPS would also consider Team Snap and get rid of this cumbersome awkward piece of junk. No I don't work for Team Snap. Just a frustrated percent.

My complaints: 1) there isn't an option to go back and search/find information in the chat efficiently, 2) you cannot send video links in chat & sending a video directly is distorted and 3) a web link sent in the chat isn't easily accessible from a device, you can only link directly from a computer. This needs to be fixed. It's a major drawback. My team has to type the whole thing out into a web browser. It won't even let them copy and paste. ☹️ Having said that, this app still makes communicating with my team and parents simple. We use it mostly for the chat groups, documents, and events tabs. All information can be quickly updated for everyone, which is a bonus. I love that it can a accessed by mobile regardless of the software, as well as online. That's makes it convenient for kids that do not have phones or {heaven forbid} get grounded from their phones! 😉 If the three things listed above were to be fixed, I would not hesitate to give it 5 stars.
