- [R6] FieldLevel Squash some bugs!: It’s great when it works but has been crashing a lot lately. So frustrating!
- [R7] FieldLevel Never Works on iPhone: I give this a 2 because when it does work it’s nice. But I’m sick and tired of having to email the company to resolve glitches just to log into the app. I am a college coach and this is extremely frustrating as I use the app on my phone 90% vs the compute 10%. I am always on the go but being able to log in is completely unreliable. Too bad. Great idea. Need to invest in the
- [R10] FieldLevel Stability Concern: I’m on an iPhone 11. Intermittently it will not load and say “Something went wrong. We have been notified” then “Back to the app”. It doesn’t go “back” to anything. I can’t seem to trouble shoot correctly bc nothing works and I never know when it will happen or start working again. Frustrating. When it works…I love it.
- [R15] FieldLevel Great app ...: Its a great app but why did i get locked out of my account please help me ...
- [R3] FieldLevel It’s okay: It’s good but why do you have to pay 30 dollars to contact the college and see if there interested in you I find that kind of a rip off
- [R4] FieldLevel $50 for Video compression: For $50 a month, our 4k videos should not be getting compressed. We should be able to upload and view videos in the quality that we choose. This is totally unacceptable.
- [R9] FieldLevel It’s 50/50: I like the app, I think the concept and everything about it is really helpful for high school athletes. The only thing I would say is that field level premium is way to much money, it’s nice being able to see that colleges are looking at you. But at the same time how am I supposed to know what colleges are looking at me unless I pay the 39$ a month which seems a little high in price. O
- [R1] FieldLevel No womens bowling: Come on Already probably the fastest growing sport in college for young women is bowling but not according to this app. Oh well RecruitUS is way ahead of all of these apps go their if you want you son or daughter to bowl in college
- [R13] FieldLevel Doesn’t have cheerleading.: NAIA cheer is a competitive sport and this app does not offer exposure to this massive group of athletes. Many universities- especially because of the pandemic- have struggled getting athletes to tryouts and with recruitment.
- [R17] FieldLevel Love it absolutely! But one thing……: I LOVE this app, but there is one thing, I also do horse riding and I think it would also be great if there was equine colleges in there, I just think it would be great too, so that other equine riders can use this app too. especially since Field hockey is a backup plan, but I do field hockey for fun. Though I know this is called FieldLevel for a reason, becaus
- [R30] FieldLevel good app: doesn’t have wrestling 😓
- [R12] FieldLevel Eh: I appreciate the app and all but you shouldn’t need a coach, especially if your coach doesn’t want to download the app.
- [R14] FieldLevel Good but wish I could say JUCO VS HS: I love the app and I’ve now been able to commit thanks to it although I wish I could say I’m now a 28 JUCO transfer instead of a 26 highschool grad
- [R38] FieldLevel Update more frequently: Updating the coaches can be helpful
- [R39] FieldLevel Great app: I love this app, as an athlete it’s easy to set up but they just need to update the coach’s for some schools. Like my high school (San Juan Hills High School, CA) changed football coaches my senior year so when I joined it was under a different coach (rob frith) and not the same coach (coach flowers) from the three years before. I also was wondering how to keep my hometown, because I wa
- [R49] FieldLevel Needs multiple team linking: Good app, but needs ability to link athletes to more than one team. Many athletes play for their high school team and at least one club team. According to site support, this upgrade has been in the works since September, 2015, but is still not available.
- [R53] GODDESS OF VICTORY Honest review: I like this game but when I do the update it crashes !
- [R56] GODDESS OF VICTORY Crash: Game is fun, but it crashes way too often.
- [R57] GODDESS OF VICTORY Auto-closing app: Crashes way too often on iPhone and every now and then even on laptop
- [R59] GODDESS OF VICTORY Full Review: This game is fun but the enjoyment dries up quickly once you’re neck deep in it. It feels unpolished in many areas and some mechanics are completely illogical. Combat (Horrible): Your five man squad never feels powerful enough for the job and enemies get spongy and overpowered quickly. No amount of upgrades and equipment compensates for the horrible balancing. Interceptions and boss
- [R72] Hudl Nice: Helps with preparing for another team or mistakes we made on the football field
- [R78] Hudl Amazing app: It’s a really good app and helps me watch my highlights or other teams or study for games and all around a great app
- [R86] NCSA Athletic Recruiting Expensive, but worth it.: If you are new to recruitment, this is defiantly the right app for you. You can literally contact any coach through this, and if you don’t answer you on here it has there contacts for other social media. You send your highlight to NCSA and they will match you up with schools that fit you and your level. I played D3 because I chose that path, but it matched me with D1 scho
- [R93] FieldRoutes Issue after issue: If I could do zero stars I would. I’ve seen people leaving reviews about the issues I’ve also been having and someone asking for an email or a soon resolution. Unfortunately nothing has been solved even after sending them an email and being told they’d get back to me. The app crashes every single time it’s left in the background. It’s really annoying and ads up to a lot of time
- [R96] FieldRoutes Worst work app ever.: This is hands down the worst app for work and or routes ever, that I have had to deal with. Bar none, crashes every other stop if not more. Don’t use it. Find another app
- [R98] FieldRoutes Maps show world view: Usage of the app is pretty straight forward. Has issues with the map always being in world view when switching between list & map view for appointments. Zooming in constantly is just to be able to go to your next closest stop isn’t very efficient.
- [R99] FieldRoutes Buggy mess: I have to constantly reinstall this app multiple times a week becuz it’s too incompetent to just work. Nothing in this app works as intended. I can’t even scroll through my options on my routes it’s just frozen there half the time. The other half of the time I’m sitting there while it’s buffering just trying to load my routes for the day so I end up having to sit here and waste my prec
- [R8] FieldLevel COMMITTED!: Thank you FieldLevel for giving me the opportunity to talk with college coaches, allowing them to notice me, and helping me match a school that best suited me! My journey has been awesome but you guys have made it even better!
