SwimClub Manager

Missing swimming times from the events (only PBs) and it’s not possible to notify about absences on trainings. Both features are available on the web version of the app.

Tried early versions and they were not great. But by version 4 it offers useful functions for swimmers/parents to keep them in touch (Avoids the issue of SCM bulk emails going to SPAM), and provide feedback when they cannot make sessions. Also useful for coaches to take attendance registers. Have now rolled out to all club members, and seems to be going well - especially during COVID where we have to be much stricter in pre-planning which sessions a swimmer can attend. Do not confuse with Swim Manager, which is a different app for a different system.

The app is fairly easy to navigate. And gives me most of the information I need as a parent. It would be useful if the log in details could be saved. Or there was a Face ID option. This would save a few steps each time. I’m unclear where emails I save are stored or accessed in the app. An onscreen message says an email has been sent to the queue. But not sure if there is sent items folder. If there is, it’s not obvious to find. There is an issue with attachments on incoming emails which are not available. I understand this is with the developer for a fix. This means any attachments cannot be read for now. General navigation is fairly intuitive. But would benefit from additional options such as a back button to revert to previous screen. But others it fairly logical. The app is not really much better than using the web version. However it does have the advantage of optional notifications which I find useful.

Simple and effective app based on the full web version. Constantly being developed with regular and useful updates based on user feedback. Support by the developer (Ben) for both app and web version is second to none.

When I saw this app I thought great, we use SCM, just what I need. It doesn't give me anything, I'm better off using the web version on my phone. Be great if this could be developed to all full functionality
