Volleyball Lineup Tracker

I will be honest and say that I rarely take the time to write a review… but this app merits the extra effort! As a Club Coach, I have been struggling with ways to streamline tracking our complicated rotation strategy. I have tried the rotation wheels- only to have the dry erase rub off. I have tried PDF templates on the tablet- but the static plan inevitably caused me to miss a sub rotation in the chaos of the game. I even tried making my own system, but couldn’t perfect a simple solution… then I found this app!!! GAME CHANGER!!! I was able to set a plan in advance and observe the different rotation scenarios pre game with all of the substitutions and libero switches… During the game the simple user interface allowed me to focus on the girls instead of what was coming next in the rotation!!! I even got reminders of when I had planned substitutions, but the flexibility to make changes simply on the fly. As an added benefit there are safe guards in place to make sure that no illegal substitutions are made mid game when the pressure is on!! This one app has replaced all of my other attempts at structure and planning! Love love love… a must buy for sure!

Only works in portrait mode, doesn't allow the entry of team names, doesn't have a place to enter players positions, doesn't display player positions when reviewing roster. Not worth $6

The app helps me easily keep an eye on the score keeper, keep my team in rotation and keep my substitutions in check. Very intuitive. I've sent a couple of suggestions to make substitutions even easier and received positive responses from the developer.

Does exactly what it's supposed to. Great for tracking rotation, keeping score, tracking libero, subs & timeouts. Will even track success of various lineups. Developer is very responsive. Had a feature request and heard back in a day. New feature was on my phone in just a couple of days.

This is a piece of crap that crashes every time you try to replace a player with a sub. Doesn't work. Don't buy!

Excellent app to keep track of line up, score and subs. Easy to use.

Right up front I will say that I have not used this in an actual match yet. I have my team data entered into the application and have gone through a couple of test games. I didn't want to waste time fumbling around with a new app during the commotion of game day with a 14's team. I shouldn't have worried though because this app is fairly intuitive, has much better than average instructions and solidly does the job it claims to do. Most of the features are very obvious because of a well though-out user interface, however it was worth reading the tutorial to find the few less obvious features. The tutorial can be accessed from the app directly or from the developers website so you can read it prior to purchasing this app. The only two items that were not completely intuitive: --double-tap a back-row player to swap with the Libero. --press and hold on a particular score if you need to manually correct it. Even these actions are intuitive once you know that these features are available. This app has been very stable for me so far (iPhone 4S and iOS 5.0.1). Just wish I had it the last four years as I went through coaching 12s and 13s and there were always rotation issues and, since other players of the same age keep the scoreboard & book, occasional issues with the score. Looking forward to using it in our first tournament next weekend.
