TacticsBoard HD for Coaches

I paid for the app. As a softball coach I don’t mind using a baseball field. However the field is laid out sideways. If I can’t rotate the field on screen, players and coaches have to watch the screen sideways.

Feature request: Good app trying out all the features for the first time. So far works as described. One has to decide whether you want a simple app or one with more features. This would be in the category of more features than the basic apps. One might want to have both kinds of apps. One simple app that you can quickly create a couple of plays in a few seconds and one that has more options and looks a little fancier.

This app could be great especially coaching little league football like I do but it will NOT let me put the players where I want them. When I add my O-line, it automatically offsets them where it wants them. My RB and QB have to be touching or offset. Very annoying when you pay $5 for an app and it was a waste. Hopefully the developers will read this and make it easier to use.

This coaching app does everything it promises. What I like best about this product is the service I received. The program had a couple of bugs in it, so I sent an e-mail to the company. They responded professionally within a day to let me know that they would fix the problem. They contacted me again the next day to let me know that they fixed the bugs, and--an unsuspected surprise--they were going to enhance the program with some suggestions I made to improve user-friendliness. This company seems committed to its product and users. Considering the product support and useful coaching app, this program is a bargain. I like the idea of sending my high school players beautiful screen shots of key positional soccer situations they will come across in games. I like the idea of shooting an image onto a big screen for tactics talks (moving players around, drawing arrows, etc.). I hate using my old-school dry erase board. I will be using this app henceforth. I imagine that this app will become more and more polished. Until then, it is still going to be the best coaching app for the iPad. I gave it 4 stars because it still has room to grow, but, again, it delivers on its promise. By the way, I am a 20-year varsity soccer coach at a high-level high school program. I have evaluated this app from a soccer perspective. I would buy it again.

Like it!

Developer responsive to suggestions. Love the features and potential of the app.

I don't get where all the one star reviews are coming from. From what I have tried with this app it does what it intends to do and does so well. It is a pretty effective sports whiteboard and has quite a decent set of comprehensive set of tools to work with when drafting plays for various types of sports. perhaps these one stars didn't know what to expect from the app. but for me personally I found no problems with this app except that it may be limited to a niche group who would actually be able to effectively make use of it. My only suggestion would be to add a print option so that you could print off your plays, but i can understand how that might not be possible coding wise. All in all a solid app!

This board is pretty good for demonstrating drills to the players during practice and showing them how to rotate in their triangles. Would like to see some enhancements around the use of arrows and labeling to make it easier to show progression, or even better would be the ability to record movements in a sequential order that could be played back. That would really make this app stand out over a traditional white board chalk talk.
