SportsYou App Reviews

Best app for team contact. I’ve been using sportsYou for several years after trying several other platforms. In my opinion it’s the best! I coach track both indoor and outdoor and as I do not reach on the school, communication is sometimes difficult. With sportsYou I can send notices, private chats as well as daily calendar updates on the Home Screen. Customer support is excellent as well. Highly recommended

Exceptional alternative. I was using texting as a means of communication last year. With two seasons under my belt I understand the power and safety protocols in this format. It's an exceptional alternative that I think more high schools will adapt to in the future. The learning curve is not to steep and I've yet to use all the features.

I need help with the chat option and I can’t find a place to contact the creators. We love using this app for our figure skating team however, when we create a group chat for some of our team members, we are unable to see who has viewed the chat. It tells us how many people have viewed it, but we cannot see who from the group has seen it. Is there a way to check this?

Wow! And it’s free!. I had forgotten what good customer service was. Not that it was needed, but I wanted to see what we we’re getting into for the app. The set up was super easy and can’t wait to use all the bells and whistles and share it with the parents. Definitely recommended!

Better than Band for team communication. This is definitely the best sports communication app we’ve ever used and prefer it over band for sure. However I cannot give it 5 stars because there are still a lot of bugs with it. Sometimes I’ll open the app and I can’t see anything on my home page after I get a notification about posts being made on one of my Teams. Other times the app just won’t load at all and I’ll have to go to the online version to see the notification. If we can fix bugs that I constantly see after using the app for 2 years it would 5 stars from me! With that being said I still LOVE the app for communication and would totally recommend it for All Star Cheerleading!

No notifications. This app is great to manage the team and send out announcements. The biggest problem with this app is the lack of notifications. I have tried different things so that I get the phone notifications and nothing. I have to open the app to see new chat messages or announcements. As a coach, I want to make sure I am able to get alerts when I get a message from an athlete.

Great app | few suggestions. - the new splash screen is painfully long. 3 of 4 times the user intent for accessing the app is to reference important logistic info from coaches or games, while in context of more urgent decision making. Suggest cutting duration of Gretzky quote. - when trying to start new post or conversation > it’s unclear to whom and where I actually have permissions to post. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t create a team chat. It seemed as though I ought to be able to. Help me understand difference between posts, chats, etc.

Text message Notifcstions. We need to be able to choose to have these notifications/chat messages sent to us via text message. Not being able to get these messages via text holds users hostage, requiring users to check the app constantly.

Nonexistent Notifications. My school recently switched from GroupMe to sportsYou for their clubs and sports. I like the app, but there is a MAJOR issue. I turned on every single notification setting, but I’m not receiving notifications whatsoever. I read a review from a year ago with a person who had the same problem, and y’all said that y’all fixed it, but it still doesn’t work. Please fix this because I need to know when my coaches are sending out important information without having to check the app every five minutes. Thank you for your consideration! UPDATE: There are actually MANY recent reviews of people experiencing this same issue, so please fix it. Thanks.

Awesome app but could use one more feature to be perfect. Love this app for communicating with my son’s soccer team. The one thing I wish it had was a snack calendar! We are always scrambling trying to figure out who is bringing snacks to games. And then when we do try to get a signup going, it’s always frustrating trying to remember what service we’ve used look up who’s doing what when it comes to game days. It would be amazing to have it built in here to this app we’re already using!

Alerts Feedback. After receiving an alert that a post has been added to a chat, once you read the message, it would be great for the alert to automatically go away. Now, I have to go to the alerts tab, click on the alert for it to go away. Current behavior causes additional keystrokes and isn’t normal behavior in other apps. Thanks!

Clunky crashy and trashy. I do not like this app at all every single time I open it it crashes and I’m unable to see literally anything that is posted in it because it crashes every time I turn it on. I wasn’t able to access an important document just because every single time I clicked on the button to open the app, it would just crash!The developers really need to fix this if they want people to use it still I highly do not recommend it and recommend Remind instead as it does a better job without crashing.

Very useful. We used this app last season for a high school baseball team. Can’t say enough good things about it. You can create different groups for same team. We had one for coaches and players only and then we had one for coaches and parents. I coach infield so I also made a group just for infield players. You can add schedules to the app as well. App is very simple to use and didn’t have any user problems last season

Crashing; Update - Working Great Again. Can’t get in since update. Instant crash. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not help. UPDATE: Apparently the crash was due to an administrator adding a bad link. Once the link was removed, the app worked perfectly again!

INFURIATINGLY BUGGY. I don't think there's been a single time where I've opened the app and been able to accomplish my goal without having to force quit and restart at least once. Trying to upload more than 5 pics? Get ready to freeze. Sensing a message? Freeze. Making a group post? Freeze. The idea behind this app is EXCELLENT, but the functionality is TRASH. Even parents have had to completely uninstall and reinstall the app to get things to work correctly. If not for my school requiring this, I would NEVER use it again.

Apple Watch App Needed. Hello. So I am a player on a soccer team that use this app. I love it and it’s easy to use but there is just one tiny thing I’d add, an Apple Watch app. At school when I receive messages I can’t read it unless it’s a chat, which is really annoying if it’s an important announcement or we don’t have practice that day meaning I need to get a ride home. It doesn’t need to have everything the app for the phone has, just the ability to read messages. Besides that one tiny thing, I love this app.

Fix Alerts please!. The notifications are broken and have been for a long time! The “alerts” tab always shows a blue notification circle, and the app notification number goes from being cleared to reporting notifications again with nothing new to alert. This notification bug renders much of the real time communication capability of the app useless due to constantly crying wolf. When the notifications are fake 99% of the time, they cease having value. PLEASE fix this!!

no ability to sync with personal calendar. app is fine except that i don’t see a way to automatically sync with my google calendar and i do not enjoy having to put each event in manually. seems crazy in this age where syncing is the norm. even the pro version does not appear to have this. only reason i am using this is because my school requires it. GameChanger is so much better

Great overall app for teams. This app is perfect in almost every way - the only thing it’s lacking is the ability to tag people in posts or comments. This would help notify certain individuals specifically and be a great feature! Otherwise I love everything this app has to offer so far.

Can’t login for some reason.. One day last week, I had bad connection, then it logged me out. I’ve been trying to sign back in ever since, i’ve reset my password like 20 times and still says my credentials are incorrect. This is very frustrating, especially being an athlete and I can’t even respond or know about important events. If there is a bug or something can it please be fixed thanks!

Terrible app performance. Normally I don’t leave reviews, but this app made me feel like I need to. It does its job in letting me contact my students in a secure manner, which is all fine. But wow, the group chats are so slow when I scroll up or down through the chat history. I’m not sure if the developers took advantage of using a lazy list to render everything, but it feels like it’s all stored in memory on runtime. There’s no reason my iPhone 16 pro should be having performance issues on a scrollable screen in 2025. This is the biggest issue with this app!!!

Lacking options. Only using this app because the school district restricted use of other apps. It would be nice if there were options to tag someone posts or comments, to react to comments not just posts. Also the ability to pin important information to the top of a team group. Many users in my group have expressed the lack of notifications even though they do have all notifications turned on.

CANT DELETE MESSAGING. This app is okay and very useful for time management BUT i cannot delete messages this is a inconvenience to me and a lot of other people. For example i came to practice at the wrong time and texted me coach about the location to see if it was right them i found out i came to early and now i am unable to delete the message i sent me coach and now i am left INCREDIBLY embarrassed and disappointed that i couldn’t avoid this public embarrassment with a simple mechanism to delete your message in conversation.

Great app! One problem…. This app is amazing! I love being able to stay in contact with my team and coach, and send them things when I need to. But recently, despite me having notifications turned on in the app and in settings, I cannot receive sports you notifications. This is very frustrating because for example, when I’m waiting on a text from my coach about something important, or waiting to see if anyone replies to a question I asked, I have to continuously check the app to see if they answer rather than the app sending me the notification. I’ve tried everything, I’ve installed and reinstalled the app, checked for updates, turned notifications off and back on, reset my phone. For some reason sports you just won’t send me notifications and it’s beginning to get increasingly annoying, especially during a sports season and as a team captain of 2 sports when people should be able to count on me to answer, but can’t.

EXTREMELY UNHAPPY. My app has randomly COMPLETELY stopped working! It shows no new posts in any groups or chats and nothing new on the calendar. When I click on alerts the app crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Our entire organization uses this app for our teams as well as our board group and chat. I now have access to none of it anymore and it does not even show me as a member anymore (and I was admin in each group.)

Good, but could use some work. The app hasn’t seen any noticeable improvements in 2 years. When I enter Posts from an iPhone, and go to next and go back, it is impossible to edit the post as the space I have is less than a single line while I have a ton of white space underneath it. I can’t do photos and background colors. I can’t reply to a comment. It rather just puts new comments at the end even though I may be replying to something further up. Along with that, editing and deleting my comments or the comments of others on my post would be appreciated. Editing an event in any way erases all planned attendance. Grrrr Being able to run a report on attendance would be GREAT!

It’s good. Sports you is good to communicate with your coaches and teammates. I play for FCA Bravehearts volleyball and it is really helpful when trying to find the place you need to go. It has the days you practice and the days you have games. You can post pics and videos on it from games and practices. And you can make announcements. Over all this is a great app.

Worked great at first…. I am the head coach of a high school team. I switched our team from Remind to SportsYou because Remind had character limits and no calendar, files, or photos. SportsYou worked great at first but now messages are not showing as readable on our team feed. Images are blocked out by links when they’re both included in posts. This was not happening until the past couple of weeks. I deleted and reinstalled the app but it didn’t work. Everything shows up fine on desktop version but no one carries around a computer. The app is buggy and needs fixed otherwise it is useless!

Great! But…. App not showing notifications. All setting are correct and still not getting notifications to show up. Super frustrating when trying to stay in contact with a team! Still missing 1 feature. You cannot “like” a comment left under a post. Very annoying when needing the commenter to know you’ve seen their message. Please add this feature!!

A good app👍. Everything is good except one thing, I was able to change my profile picture and tap on others to see theirs and add them but now it won’t let me do that, while I checked on a friends sports you account and they could. Besides that it’s a really great app that helps me stay in touch with my team and coach.

Replying to comments. I love how this app is organized, everything is easily accessible and very clear, especially on the coaches side. My only qualm is that you can’t reply or respond to comments on posts. I always have parents commenting on posts and it’s hard to make clear who I’m responding to. Great app otherwise!!

Best sports communication app hands down. I use this for my travel team as well as our rec league and I have to say, it is the best app that is out there right now. It allows you to post photos, update games and practices all on one calendar that allows you to link up to your phone calendar. You are able to post files ( such as minutes and rules) and chats amongst the whole or individually. Only thing I don’t like, is that there is no tagging option, so if I want to reply back and tag a person, I am not able to.

Worth the switch. I switched my team to this app from band about 2 months ago. Love it so far! It looks better and makes it easier to communicate. I love being able to have multiple groups with in my team and the chat feature works great. So far so good!

Mostly good. Functions well with a few quirks. One feature I feel like it really needs is an option for Administrators to be able to delete individual messages in a chat. I use it for a high school team and the complete inability to control player messages (through deleting or restricting privileges) keeps this from being perfect.

Trouble connecting to server. Absolutely loved this app before this problem. I had trouble a week ago trying to connect to the server. I finally had to sign out as it just wouldn’t load. Now I can’t sign back in. I use 2 different emails and can’t remember which one I used for this app but I have tried both and I still cannot get into the app. I tried setting up another account and my phone number is, of course, already in use. What now?

Amazing. A very good app that makes a coach’s life quite a bit easier! Great system and incredible customer service … just today Pasko helped me with an issue, with the level of focus and intensity as if it was his team that was having tryouts in 2 weeks !! Excellent 5 star service

Pretty good but login issues. The app on the iPhone is pretty good without much issue (Please implement dark mode though in the app), but the Apple watch app does not let me sign in. When opening the watch app for the first time it gives the option to sign in on the watch itself or log in via iPhone. When pressing the option to log on via the Apple Watch, it tells you to put in your ID (what ID?) and password and doesn’t work. When selecting the log in via iPhone, it waits for you to authorize it on the iPhone, and when authorized on the iPhone, the app on the Apple Watch just sits there with “Requesting login info…” indefinitely displayed on the screen no matter how good the connection between the phone and watch is or strength of the internet or cellular connection. This is very annoying as I want to use the watch app version for this. Please fix this

Missing many standard features. Missing dark mode. Unable to edit messages once sent. Attempting to move cursor within message jumps the cursor back to original position making it difficult to make changes. Scrolling of messages is unstable and not smooth. No sorting options of chats. No grouping chats by teams. No simple calendar month and year selector. Have to swipe to get through months rather than select exactly where want to go.

Great App, but I have some questions. I was on a basketball team for my school, and needed this app, but I still have some questions. 1. When my coach would post on the group, I would have to wait til I was on internet. Is there a way to make it so if you have bars, it will still load? 2. POSTING: I have a page that you can post (not the team page) but when you post who can see it? like the team? or the all the users of SportsYou? because both would be different posts.

Efficiency issues. As someone in multiple clubs that use this app, I’ve become acutely accustomed to the issues within this app. 1. Notifications from direct messages and group chats can’t be distinguished - leads to a lot of confusion. 2. No previews for posts in the notifications. 3. The messages don’t update automatically within chats - you could see a notification in your notification center in a chat, but unless you exit the chat, refresh, and reenter the chat, you won’t be able to see it. 4. You can’t filter the calendar - would be helpful so you could look specifically at events for one team when you’re in multiple. This app is *fine* for clubs. But just fine. Apps like BAND and GroupMe are much more efficient for communication, especially when you use that communication a lot. This app could use some work.

Inaccurate navigation addresses. Any other app when you click the place where the event is going to be, it will take you to the place accurately. This app is terrible almost concerning where it will send you. NO JOKE HERE. Literally in the middle of nowhere where you can’t even recheck because there is not signal your connection goes SOS needing satellite connection you will have to get out of your car ( which I didn’t ). I left for the game with plenty of time and I ended in the wrong town because the app sent me to a different town. If I will be the one taking the athletes or Athletes driving themselves they will miss to be on the time requested for the coach. This is very bad, when you have to be in an area you are not familiarize with. Nobody who to ask neither. NEVER EVER RELY ON THIS APP. Use a different navigation system ( Google, Maps, Waze, etc a mean you name it BUT not this SportsYou app. Any other sport app does a better job than this one.

Lacks Basic Function. I’ve been using this app for years and been asking for basic functionality and they still have not delivered. You cannot underline capitalize or italicize anything in a post. Sometimes you just wanna call something out and not having that functionality is just ridiculous. Not being able to replied directly back to your team so they get notified when you answer the question they’ve asked is also not helpful. We’re relying on kids to come back to the app to see if I answered that may or may not happen. This app could be amazing, but the functionality is just not there. Unfortunately, I’m forced to use it because the school wants to.

Would be better if images in comments were supported. We were forced to switch to this app from the Band app. I found it really lacking that we cannot add images to comments, and the event, reservations and interactions are lacking. The app itself is responsive, enough, and the user interface is not a challenge however, it seems a lot of room for growth is available.

Sportsyou. This is a great app. It is super easy to set up and allows seamless communication between players, parents and coaches. You can chat with each of the above separately if needed. The person who sets it up can also administer administration rights, so if you want to give extra admin privileges to your captains you can do so. The players also like that they can create their own profiles and that the calendar can sync with their google calendar. The players also can't wait to use the media module in this app. Here you can upload photos and videos to share with teammates. The app also allows you to upload documents which can then be shared with your members. I highly suggest getting this app if you are a coach.

Messages self delete. For the most part the app is great. A very clear way to get everyone all together. As a coach for a section of a marching band, it’s very helpful how much you can divide the team into smaller chats in the same place you can have the full team, and their parents. HOWEVER, I’ve been having a big issue of when I go to message my students and their parents, once I get past one line of text, the message just fully deletes itself. Sometimes I can get it to work again by exiting our messages and reopening them. But that doesn’t always work, and even when it does, it takes more time than I should’ve spent.

Needs delete option. I really like the app it’s pretty easy to use. I have multiple teams that I need to communicate with at times and the fact that I can post to all of them is great. My only issue with the app is 1 I can’t copy and paste for the calendar and two of I mess up I can’t delete when writing a chat. I need to be able to make corrections

Good except for ONE thing. I logged onto SportsYou for soccer, and it looks like a good app. The only thing was when it asked me to put in my email I put ONE wrong letter. Because of that one letter I’m now unable to get emails from the app which I REALLY NEEDED. And if your wondering if you can change it, no, No you can’t. PLZ help me!

Can’t use an app that doesn’t let you. I have deleted this app many times and reinstalled but every time I get to birthdate and gender I click on both boxes and the next button is still unpressable I am over the age of floor and go onto the link to see guidelines and it won’t let me continue, I play for a school team and it’s the only app we use, I am currently in a day for tryouts and waiting to see what team I made but can’t log in because it says that I’m logged in on my coaches roster yet I can’t seem to get in

Many issues. Many issues on my end and your tech support and sales can’t help! I have been working with Mark and Filip but no resolutions! Filip has ghosted me on emails!! Mark has talked on the phone and become an admin to my team! He is the one posting my pdf files - why can NONE of you log in as me and see what I see? Why does your staff not have that function Still have no idea why half my team can’t get onto my team?? Age? School emails? Not so user friendly Makes communication hard for my middle school team- ready to go back to using REMIND!

Awesome App for teams. I have been looking for an app to manage a sports team and found it! I needed one that would allow me to post messages , send notifications and host photos as well as videos. I tried several others but no one would email me back to answer questions. Pasko not only emailed me back but called me to answer all my questions ( I had lots!) He was very helpful and answer ever question to my satisfaction. Thanks Pasko and Sportsyou!

improvements needed. Allow replies to “chats” it’s incredibly frustrating to miss a comment or question and reply after 4/5/6 other team members have posted something else. It all gets lost.

Easy !. Easy to use and free!

Coach. Sports You is an Excellent source of Social Media communication for our athletes and parents! Thanks for the platform! For The Kids Coach Wilson

Good app could be better. Good app. Different type of notifications types would be nice. The app is Clumsy in regards of following people. More types of interactions with posts would be nice.

Effective Team Communication. Works great for communication with your team.

Amazing. It’s has really upped our game as far as communication with student athletes as well as parents/guardians! And the support is 2nd to none!!

Great app. It’s a great app. Keeps everyone on the team informed. Also easy to use.

App doesn’t respond right away. When I click on something it doesn’t respond right away.

Limited features. The lack of ability to create subgroups within one team is extremely limiting and I might have to move forward with a different app that can better accommodate larger teams.

Group chat. No way to delete a message sent in error

Crashes. App has been great. Most recent update has made the app crash and close when looking at alerts.

Coach Ronald Reid Brewster NY. SportsYou app tends to be buggy at times. That being said it is a solid communication platform for parents and players.

IFCA Executive Director. Great potential! Looking forward to getting our association and schools signed up!

Very difficult to use. I have used many apps to communicate: Remind, What’s App, etc. After enrolling and signing players up it would not let me in. In the middle of using it would shut down and not let me log in.

Great app!. This app has filled a void in team management! On top of it's usefulness, it is also easy to navigate. 5 stars!

Awesome. Great for any team or group

Great way to communicate with the team. We’ve tried several apps, and this one is great for scheduling and team chats!

Can’t like comments. It’s pretty dope and makes me feel really cool cuz I’m an athlete and I communicate with a sports app. But the inability to like comments is a big negative for a large group chat.

iPad App Orientation TERRIBLE. The orientation will not ever rotate… Makes using the app terrible when you are trying to use iPad keyboard to type posts, chats, etc.

Soccer dad of 3. This is the best. Makes my life easy!

Dark mode. It would be nice if you could customize the interface more than just plain white.

So great. This app is awesome. Cuts down on teenage girl chatter. As a parent, it rocks. Just the facts.

Closes out. I have had a horrible time. I delete, re dl, and same thing. It just closes out before it even opens!

Good App, but could use enhancements. Over all a great app! Could use some enhancements to game/activity entries like: arrival time, uniform, game assignments (scorebook, team refreshments), etc.

The perfect team app. It has EVERYTHING you need and more! It’s a dream come true

Unable to log-in. The app on a daily basis kicks you out, and even uninstalling app and reinstalling it has bugs to not allow proper usage. Don’t rely on this for your teams. After much effort to put entire calendar and enroll everyone the app is unable to support log-in after initial download.

Softball. It lets me see when I have softball games and practice or when it is cancelled

Good but buggy. I got this app recently and it’s now starting to lag out and it won’t let me on the app

Best sports app there is. Super easy to use, free, collaborative and has everything that you need. 6/5 stars

Calander. It keeps changing from eastern to pacific time

It’s alright. Not bad but needs work.

The best! No lie.. This has been the best team app I’ve used to date. Super easy. Great customer support. Truly free.

Great use !. It’s very useful and organized I love it !

SportsYou App. Great app for communicating with your team and family members. A must have for Coaches of all ages!

Calendar does not work. Half of our team can see the entire calendar, the rest can’t see anything. Thus issue needs to be corrected.

Can’t upload video. The main reason I use the app is to share videos and connect with my cheer team and I can’t even upload fifteen second videos of cheers.

Great resource. This is a great way to communicate with kids and build relationships!

Update causes crash. It worked great for team communication until the latest update which now doesn’t allow me to open the app at all.

its good for sports but it needs some work. the layout is way more complicated than needed and it is really annoying that you have to mark all the notifications as read

Can’t get back in. I was kicked out of the app and I can’t get back in it’s just a white screen every time.

Need help doing my account. It’s not letting me set up an account it’s says “there was a problem conforming my account “🥲

Nice. It’s a good app and all but for some reason I can’t change my pfp and cover and im having setting difficulty

Great customer service. App is very user friendly and the customer service is great. Any questions are answered promptly.

Overall, Great app. Overall, this app is great! However, I do think that there should be a more “dark” theme.

Inconsistent. Some people can see things others can't. Kind of more of a pain than just using GroupMe. Good concept but needs tweaking. When you email customer service it says they will be back on Monday 😂

Can’t start an individual chat. I have tried to search for it online but whenever I tried it always get stuck and I can’t start an individual chat with my coach

Update is horrible. I loved SportsYou until this last mobile update. App is now clunky & slow to respond. Links that are posted & have been in place for several months are now disabled. Too many bugs with the new update. SportsYou need to roll back & start from scratch.

Logs out, doesn’t recognize login info. I know I have the right login info. I even recreated my account login. But it keeps logging me out and it doesn’t recognize my id/pwd.

Was great!!. The app logged me out of my account and won’t let me log myself back in. Says nothing is correct.

Coach. Great tool to work with and quick.
