Rookie Me Play

This app does all you need to manage player fatigue and the reports in the backend assist greatly with my management of player loads

We used this app last year for our Under 12 team. The inclusion of the ability to delegate roles like stats and time keeping to other parents has made game day a lot more enjoyable and easier for our volunteers.

I started using Interchanger (previous name) in 2014 and have been a returning customer every year that I have coached since. Rookie me play is a cost effective platform that isn’t labour intensive for volunteers. The speed in tech support from Murray is also outstanding. I’ve used both rotations, team stats and personalised stats and couldn’t be happier for the price point.

A fantastic piece of technology that assists in modernising community football, in allowing coaches to streamline equal playing time amongst their junior teams.

There is a lot about this app that I like. It is generally easy to use and tracks game time very very well. However, it has a couple of weaknesses that should be easy to fix but just aren’t. First, I like to set up my “event” (i.e. match) early in the week. However, if players become unavailable before the game (which often happens on game day in junior footy), you simply can’t remove them from your team sheer. You have to wait until the game starts and then put them in the injured list. Which is simply non-sensical - it makes no sense to me why you can’t remove them from your team on the day. Second, and most frustrating, is when you need to change the players on the field. If the opposition loses players and you need to “even up” with, say, a 17 v 17 or 16 v 16 match, the app won’t let you adjust mid game. The suggestion is to put players in the opposition team bucket, but that prevents you having them in the right position on the ground for you to look at. These things should be an easy fix, but they end up making the app a pain to use on match day. Today, when the opposition change the number of players available, I had to give up on the app and return to using a magnet board and paper to track rotations. Please try to fix these things so I can love your app more.

This is a new app but it has made a lotta progress in the last month, it used to have some bugs. Its doing a great job for our team. The ability to track injury time and time played for the opposition has made monitoring fair game time much easier.

Being an interchange steward, with limited knowledge of the players, the list view in this app is awesome. The inclusion of player images has been good for identifying players I’m not familiar with.

Our junior AFL club has been using this App for the last 6 weeks and have found it very easy to use. The developer has been responsive to our feedback which have been reflected in recent updates. Thank you RM Play!

Great app that gets better with every iteration and definitely heading in the right direction.

This is a fantastic app and works very well. It is the only app that when you share players to the opponent you can record their game time and stats. Very helpful with customer service and working on app constantly to make it even better.
