1. [R8] MaxPreps 5/5 · US Courtney: Worst app ever it keeps freezing up when I try to add a new high school football team
2. [R15] MaxPreps 3/5 · US E6: Decent app but lots of error 406 messages. I understand you need to play the bills, but all the ads & banners fill up 3/4 of the page from top to bottom and there’s very little space to see info, read articles and view stats. Also, the frequent mandatory pop-up ads are so 2002, they’re worse than an infield fly rule…and the new extra-innings rule to start the inning with a runner on 2nd.
3. [R20] MaxPreps 4/5 · US A bug: I like the max preps app a lot but right now there is a bug. I will click on a stat tab or a article tab and it says “406 not responding” so I don’t know if it’s the app or it’s just me.
4. [R25] MaxPreps 1/5 · US Tons of bugs: I’ve had this app crash and error out so many times right in the middle of a game when I’m scoring for the team. Try everything to get it back up and running so the people following online can get the latest updates but then get a “thank you for scoring” message, app ends the game when the actual game isn’t even over. Frustrating when the poor quality of the app screws up everything.
5. [R9] MaxPreps 3/5 · US What are score boards: How are yall gonna put that our team won 60-35 because that’s what happened and then change the score two days later to tell they lost
6. [R12] MaxPreps 3/5 · US What?: So I checked my football team score against the game we played Thursday and the score was wrong. It got correct that we did win. Oh it bothered me as it said 39 to 32 which was incorrect cause they did not get 32 points. we got 35 points and they got six points. Can someone please fix the scoring system because y’all are getting it wrong
7. [R14] MaxPreps 4/5 · US Incorrect score posting: Midlothian’s record is incorrect as posted. Their record is shown as 12-0-4. Their record should be listed as 12-0-3. MaxPreps posted the Atlee score twice. Midlothian only placed Atlee once. The game that was scheduled for May 5th was canceled due to weather. The game was rescheduled for later in the schedule in a game where the score was posted as a 3-3 tie, which is
8. [R34] MaxPreps 1/5 · US Worst app ever: Using on an iPad, this is my least favorite app. Obtrusive ads take up the whole screen. You close one ad and another pops up 10 seconds later. Curious if anyone who works at MaxPreps actually uses their own app and doesn’t get frustrated doing so.
9. [R41] MaxPreps 4/5 · US I like this app a lot, but the commercials are out of control.: I use this app a lot to check my high schools stats and when thier games are so I can go watch them, homewever sometimes I like to watch the highlights of games or of player film. But the problem with this is how there are so many ads it is impossible to watch it without getting annoyed. I know that you need to be able to have ads on
10. [R42] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Way too many ads: This app used to be great, but now 1/3 of the screen is covered in ads. I understand they need to make a profit, but Holly cow you don’t choke people with the ads.
11. [R18] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Submitting scores: Is it just me, or before this latest update, the submitting score process was much easier, because now I always get 404 messages with the ref when I try to submit a score. Can someone explain this possible issue. Thanks, Ry
12. [R21] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Score Submission: Why was the ability to submit scores before the game is labeled as over removed. I like to submit scores as soon as the game is over, but now I can’t because MaxPreps still considers the game as “live”. Before there was an option that said “Game over? report score here”. That would allow me to submit scores as fast as possible. Now I have to wait to submit scores.
13. [R37] MaxPreps 1/5 · US Garbage: Glitches everywhere. Garbage support. I have reported issues and never hear anything. Update: I messaged the developer as requested and guess what? NOTHING HAPPENED!😂 What a surprise. Still can’t close out a softball game when it’s over. I guess you have to wait till they decide it’s over.🤷🏼‍♂️
14. [R38] MaxPreps 4/5 · US Issue: This app needs updated it won’t let me post scores on the app
15. [R17] MaxPreps 4/5 · US Favorites: Okay, I LOVE this app. I helped out with putting all the NH logos, and I love this app. That being said, I wanna follow more than 16 teams. I follow the NH Division 1, so not following all of them is pain, especially when you follow a D2 NH team and 2 D2 MASS teams. Love it, just needa we-work favorites.
16. [R23] MaxPreps 4/5 · US Favorite teams.: Need the ability to favorite and follow more than 16 teams.
17. [R47] MaxPreps 4/5 · US Expand on how many teams you can follow: It would be nice to follow more teams instead of removing teams I wish we could follow like 30 or 50 teams instead of the normal 20 please expand it the reason why I give it a 4 star is on the limit of teams you can follow if they update the limit follow for teams I’ll update my star rating
18. [R48] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Only can follow 16 teams: If you want to follow the schools in your conference in multiple sports , for instance football and basketball, you can’t even follow all the schools as the app only allows 16 teams, not 16 schools. They should significantly increase the number of teams allowed.
19. [R3] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Not Interactive: My grandson is a junior and moved to Whitewright, TX. He’s the starting point guard and the app does not let me add him for basketball - cause the database doesn’t list his name, I guess. He is listed as an athlete in football for Whitewright. Basketball is his main sport. There is no apparent way to communicate with anyone at MaxPrep.
20. [R4] MaxPreps 1/5 · US Not good: First of all, nobody wants to create yet another log-in in this day and age. If there was ever an app crying out for “Log-in with …”, it’s this one, a high school sports app. Second, I’ve never seen an app use as much data as this one. I have auto play “off” for videos, and it’s still somehow chewing up MBs like crazy.
21. [R26] MaxPreps 5/5 · US Going good: I just downloaded the app and at first I was having problems making an account but somehow my wife got it going! And so far so good
22. [R27] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Signing in: For some reason as soon as I try to make an account and it asks for my birthday it says that they can’t answer my request making it impossible for me to make an account.
23. [R1] MaxPreps 2/5 · US Great until subscribed: The app works good, however, a subscription to watch live games only ever takes me to NFHS when I click “Live.” What am I paying for on maxpreps if it redirects me to NFHS? Why can’t it keep the livestream on maxpreps, or let me watch on NFHS since I am subscribed to maxpreps.
24. [R13] MaxPreps 2/5 · US Articles don’t show: When you click on the articles, it’s just a blank page. The articles won’t even pop up anymore in the app.
25. [R24] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Cool app: App is cool but really slow
26. [R29] MaxPreps 4/5 · US Latest Update: App has always been intuitive and user friendly. Latest update took a little step back. When viewing a game, I like to look at the past schedule of the teams of the game in viewing for multiple reasons. Previously, I could click on a team, even if I wasn’t following them, and view their season schedule. Now, I cannot find a way to do this w/o searching a team from the main search ba
27. [R33] MaxPreps 3/5 · US A Step Backwards: Why did they take away links to other schools in the team schedules? That was one of the most useful features. If team X is playing team Y and I look at the schedule or the matchup, I can’t click on team Y to see their page. I have to go all the way out and search for the other team. Waste of time.
28. [R36] MaxPreps 3/5 · US Bring back the ability to go to a team page from a matchup: Love the new matchup screens and breakdowns, but would love to be able to click on teams profiles from the matchup screen and see their schedule and stats on their team page!
29. [R51] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Cancelling is hard: I’ve used this app twice. You should be able to pay for a single sporting event without buying a monthly subscription. One time fee would be easy. I’d even pay more. I’ve used the app twice and spent more time trying to verify who I am just to cancel the subscription which invariably fails. The model of getting people to sign up hoping they will forget to cancel is disingenuous
30. [R52] NFHS Network 3/5 · US Download: Inconsistent live stream availability. High school basketball coach n Michigan began in December. No games were recorded during the month of December 2025. The user interface could be more friendly for creating clips or simply allow users to download their games of choice.
31. [R53] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Bad quality and terrible customer service: SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT DO NOT PUT YOUR PAYMENT INFO ON YHIS APP ! They don’t put the right labels on streams and I was told by the “CUSTOMER SERVICE”hat I would receive a refund and never did then they tried charging me again after I cancelled my subscription ! And it was a total nightmare to cancel ! Didn’t ven stream he game I missed my daughters last
32. [R65] Bound Sports 1/5 · US Not ready for prime time.: Nothing ever works.
33. [R66] Bound Sports 5/5 · US Very nice people: The people are very nice and so are the logos and I love the design!
34. [R67] Bound Sports 3/5 · US Okayish App: I titled my review that way (on purpose) because it’s great when the app actually works! My son plays bb tonight and I’m not able to buy tickets ahead of time? It’s done this before. Please Fix!!
35. [R68] Bound Sports 1/5 · US Stupid AF: Doesnt let you do anything. Cant scroll correctly. No explanation. Trash!!!!!!
36. [R79] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 2/5 · US Won’t delete my account: I’ve wrote several deactivation requests and they still won’t delete my account
37. [R80] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 5/5 · US Yes: Just pure amazing
38. [R81] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 3/5 · US please fix login: app works pretty good, the login process is just really flawed. I cant even get into the app and its very inconveniet that I have to call someone to actually fix it.
39. [R82] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 2/5 · US Hard schedule: I’ve been using the NCSA app for a while, I am a freshman wanting to play in college and I feel as if there is a lot of underground rules that go unspoken, and the things that are obvious are the only things repeated in online lessons. I also feel as if I have to check into the app every single day when that doesn’t work with my schedule- with school volleyball clubs and choir, I fe
40. [R93] Varsity Aces 1/5 · US I can never find what I’m looking for.: All I use is the search button. It’s now 2 days past the Bergen County Relays for winter track and I have yet to see any coverage of the meet. So not only do I wonder about the content, I think I must just be missing it? Who knows. All it wants to give me is football scores and box scores that are not updated. As well the medal tracking and performance list
41. [R94] Varsity Aces 5/5 · US Great app: I absolutely love this app, it’s a must-have for sports fans in Bergen county
42. [R95] Varsity Aces 3/5 · US Schedules: I wish you were more comprehensive of HS sports. Post all schedules and all results. Schedules for the season once if you don't want to do it everyday.
43. [R96] Varsity Aces 1/5 · US From first to worst: The Record used to provide great coverage of the local high school scene in Northern New Jersey, winning awards for the quality of their work. Now they cover only what they deem as important (usually non-public), providing cursory info (at best) for the rest. When they do condescend to provide additional coverage, it’s at least a day late. What a shame that the legacy of your
44. [R107] Tribe Athletics Sports Events 2/5 · US Basketball: Stuffy, no soap in the bathroom, no paper towels, bad seating.
45. [R108] Tribe Athletics Sports Events 5/5 · US From nm hoopers player 22: Love it helps me track my games and stuff and track my favorite teams
46. [R109] Tribe Athletics Sports Events 3/5 · US Streaming service: The streaming service needs improvement. The cost for streaming is outrageous as well.
47. [R110] Tribe Athletics Sports Events 5/5 · US Just4hoopin: The NATTY tournament was outstanding! Great job Jon and your entire staff.
48. [R55] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Colebrook nh game: This sucks. It keeps going to the “NFHS network thank you for your patience”.I haven’t even seen a full inning. I can’t hear the announcers, and most of the time, the voice and picture don’t match. I want my money back.
49. [R56] NFHS Network 1/5 · US Terrible streaming: Paid $80 for annual and went to watch my kids championship game. Coverage continually cut out. Very disappointing since I paid more for this service than most streaming services. Sub-par
50. [R70] Bound Sports 1/5 · US Hard: Super hard to use and sign up for sports
51. [R73] Bound Sports 1/5 · US Not end user friendly: Please let a 4 year old with crayons let you design the next update because it will be way better and more user friendly!!! We are not protecting nuclear launch codes here!
52. [R84] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 3/5 · US Idkkk: It’s so hard to create a account it says the email is already taken but I’ve never used it
53. [R86] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 4/5 · US 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
54. [R87] NCSA Athletic Recruiting 3/5 · US Not User Friendly: This is nice to have on your phone because it is easier to access without going on the website or going on your computer. The app is a little inefficient. It doesn’t work as smoothly as the website on a computer or laptop. There are also times where I can't scroll down all the way and click things that I want to. Basically I use this app to see when I have a notification but oth
55. [R98] Varsity Aces 1/5 · US Payments: You have to pay for every single article🤦🏾‍♂️
