  1. [R5] Heja 5/5 · US Sooo good: It helps me with everything like knowing when a game is or what I need for that game or if something is canceled I know it had helped me soooo much 5 stars 1000 percent totally recommend
  2. [R10] Heja 2/5 · US Doesn’t sync with calendars without paying more: Not cool to make me pay more to sync with Google Calendar
  3. [R11] Heja 4/5 · US Very reliable: This app is reliable and easy to use. Heja keeps schedules, posts, and chats all organized and easily manageable. It makes the coach to team experience 10x easier. So glad to be using Heja, and would definitely recommend.
  4. [R24] Heja 3/5 · GB Good app but getting greedy: Used this app for a few years with a number of teams and used to find one of the best. But extra costs are creeping in for features that were always there for free previously like calendar syncing. Disappointing approach. Downgraded from 4 star to 3 star as a result.
  5. [R7] Heja 1/5 · US Horrible: This app is the most convoluted and confusing app ever.
  6. [R8] Heja 5/5 · US Exceptional: Awesome app. Very organized and quick responses from team members. Easy to learn.
  7. [R29] Heja 5/5 · US Great!: Easy to use and great way to communicate with team and coaches!
  8. [R12] Heja 3/5 · GB Glitchy!: Used for many years with no issues, until now! When new members join the team, it’s adding them 50+ times, meaning me as admin needs to remove the duplicates one by one. Lots of adverts recently added which is annoying when wanting to check something quick.
  9. [R16] Heja 1/5 · US Not working: My app is not working … it keeps on freezing and will not display any info..
  10. [R19] Heja 2/5 · US Nauty: Loved this app until it buffered for 2 days straight not allowing me to use it. Please fix this issue. I have been in 3 different places with wifi and used my own mobile data, waited a day, logged out logged back in and…. Nothing. Im annoyrd
  11. [R6] Heja 3/5 · US Ads: That app works pretty well but I upgraded to get no ads as they are annoying. Little did I know that I would keep getting ads from Heja. They still spam you with their own ads. Not sure it was worth upgrading
  12. [R9] Heja 3/5 · GB Used to be a brilliant app!: Used to be a brilliant app but it now plagued with rubbish adverts for things nobody wants! Time to go back to a group chat on WhatsApp.
  13. [R27] Heja 3/5 · GB Hate all the adverts: This was a 5 star app until they added all the adverts now it really make the app a pain to navigate will pop ups etc. also we had Heja Pro and they decided even though we had paid for a year they would cut it back to standard after 6 months. We had to make several complaints to get it reinstated which was a real pain especially as we had over 30 teams using it. Such a sham
  14. [R70] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Bad Update: The new update makes the app look like social media, not an app that actually has articles with sports stories along with the scores
  15. [R72] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Update disaster: Could you at least make a setting to allow to view homepage in the old list style? Feels like a lot more scrolling to get similar content, many more videos (there’s a watch tab for that), everything is a large thumbnail that isn’t necessary and takes away from the app.
  16. [R15] Heja 3/5 · GB Invasive adds: This is a great app but the adds have become highly invasive lately and very annoying.
  17. [R22] Heja 1/5 · US Worst Team App Ever: Pop ups, pop ups, pop ups, oh and super long pop ups. Also, just to through lighter fluid on the raging fire, no free calendar sync. I may leave my son’s baseball team solely because they use this app. He will cry because he loves his team but honestly I can’t take it anymore.
  18. [R23] Heja 4/5 · US Calendar: My organization loves Heja, we use it for all team communication. Recently we have been unable to update and add new events to the calendar under the free version.
  19. [R66] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Just ok: The app falls short for minor sports such as wrestling, volleyball and golf. The coverage is weak for many women’s sports, too.
  20. [R81] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Great App: Great App, easy to use, especially the Scores tab. Lots of great information on teams and players. Nothing available for the PWHL, HUGE MISS. Drops you from 5 to 3 stars.
  21. [R87] CBS Sports 3/5 · US No tennis?: Not sure why soccer over tennis. Would like tennis.
  22. [R98] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Missing new leagues: I will redownload this app when they add the PWHL, AUSL, and WPBL. I get they’re newer leagues but these are the ones I want to see on here because you don’t see as much coverage on them.
