  1. [R2] TeamSnap 5/5 · US Great Tool: TeamSnap has been a very efficient organizing tool for me as the manager of a Crew team.
  2. [R11] TeamSnap 5/5 · US TeamSnap is awesome!: I LOVE TeamSnap! I use it for my travel soccer team, and this always lets me know when I have any games, practices, or anything else. It even lets you know where an activity is taking place, which is awesome. There is even a group chat if you need to let your team know about something. Get this if you want to be posted on team updates!
  3. [R24] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Needs more up-to-date tech: There should definitely be an option to edit messages once they are sent in group chats or private messages. As I coach I am always thinking of so much stuff and juggling everything so I make mistakes then have to send multiple messages to correct my original text. There should also be a section to see coaches availability for practices. I hate that they have to text
  4. [R26] TeamSnap 4/5 · US View by number: Would be great, in the roster view, to see the number with the name (instead of the position). Ex: Joe Smith - 26.
  5. [R3] TeamSnap 3/5 · US “Mediocre” Free w/Adds: I agree with most positive reviews from Team Owners, Organizer’s, and especially Coaches. But as a parent, or guardian of a player or team member, it comes with multiple frustrations. Switching between profiles, (changes randomly) and adding multiple teams or merging other teams to the same profile is problematic. But with all free apps, the adds are my biggest complaint.
  6. [R4] TeamSnap 2/5 · US Ads are lame: Useful app, but the ads are very annoying and at times make the app unuseable.
  7. [R7] TeamSnap 1/5 · US Ads ads ads: The ads on the app are brutal and constantly get in the way
  8. [R16] TeamSnap 1/5 · US Sold out: This app sucks now. They are now about ads and bogging you down. No longer user friendly. Full of bugs. Full of app crashes. App support doesn’t even work.
  9. [R18] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Roster Info Issue: Please fix the issue when editing the info on your child’s info page. I’m trying to add myself and his dad to the contact list and it doesn’t matter how many times I try to fix it. Have two separate family members listed but will only allow one name to be shown for both emails and phone numbers. Keeps changing it after editing to either my husband or my name
  10. [R22] TeamSnap 2/5 · US Ad issues: The ads have gotten ridiculous. You press the X and it takes you to the App Store. One thing I used to appreciate about this app was that the ads were minimal and short! Trying to click out of an ad AND the App Store in the middle of a game and trying to keep score is super inconvenient!
  11. [R30] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Not showing team photos on Ipad OS v26.1: I tried to reinstall this app many times, however it does not show any team photos that I had posted in the Photos section. I can see these photos on teamsnap webpage, on teamsnap app on Android, just none shows up on my ipad pro. It keeps showing Add photos, though I can’t click the Add button at all.
  12. [R10] TeamSnap 1/5 · US Fake 7 day free trial: I signed up for this as a requirement for a group and wanted to change plans after the 7 day trial. But apparently you have to quit the 7 day trial at 5 or 6 days and now I’m stuck with a year of an app I don’t want.
  13. [R6] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Make this easier: We love TeamSnap, however, it is a real pain when you have to create a new chat every time a new person is added to the team. Or create a new chat when the team changes at all. You should be able to add remove members to an existing chat.
  14. [R9] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Love the app!! Would great to fix the chat features: I love using this app for my sons’ travel team…the only thing is the chat feature. Whenever we need to add a player’s family member an entirely new chat has to be created, which is really frustrating. We have considered as a group going to a different platform entirely just because of how frustrating this lack of adding or subtracting people in
  15. [R33] TeamSnap 3/5 · US chat flaws: You guys have to have a feature where you can add someone to a chat. Making a whole new chat just to add one person is ridiculous
  16. [R32] TeamSnap 5/5 · US Valuable Tool for Youth Sports: TeamSnap provides timely information from coaches to players and parents. Recently, the field we were playing on was different from the address in TeamSnap Schedule. The Chat feature allowed parents to communicate with each other to reroute parents heading to the other site down the road.
  17. [R75] Snapchat 3/5 · US Snap chat storage: It's very upsetting I've had Snapchat since 2013 and it's now trying to charge for storage
  18. [R82] Snapchat 1/5 · US memories: please let me keep my memories this is ridiculous i have barley any iphone storage so i have been using snapchat as my camera roll for years just for all of my memories to get deleted soon. please change this i beg
  19. [R96] Snapchat 3/5 · US Snapchat Review: I love snapchat but I hate how they make you PAY for storage after not having us pay for the past 15 years and now if you don’t pay it will delete your memories. Honestly makes me want to delete the app.
  20. [R100] Snapchat 1/5 · US Greed: Disgusting behavior trying to force your community to pay for the photos they already had
  21. [R12] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Ads lately- inappropriate!!: Lately ads have been inappropriate. It’s not my feed, so what’s up with that. I’m just a soccer mom!
  22. [R15] TeamSnap 3/5 · US Why: Why are there sports betting apps on an app for mostly children’s basketball games? But other than that it is fine for using it for my basketball games and other things but I prefer team sideline more it is easier.
