This does the job of helping me keep track of the best lineups for the team, however I wish we could create an account to view and manage them on other devices, and the option to add an entire team would be nice as well.

Love the app but a few changes could make it amazing. For those of us who coach in AYSO in the US, would love to have a tabbed view for the multiple different quarters of a game since we need to make subs every quarter to ensure everyone plays (i.e., 1Q, 2Q, 3Q, 4Q). Alternatively, these tabs could also be the specific times subs are made during the game for those with free subs (i.e., 55th minute, 54:34, etc.). Again for those of us in AYSO, it would also be helpful to know who has already sat for one quarter and therefore cannot sit again due to the AYSO rule that players must play at least 3 quarters (or at least 2 quarters in All-Stars). The ability to add notes on who scored (or if we are scored against) & in which quarter would be game-changing as that would allow us to figure out which of our lineups was most/least effective against specific teams in specific matches with specific conditions (temp, rain, turf/grass, short/long field etc.). The ability to share these lineups in an editable format so that coaches can send the lineups to one another and make changes in the app before sending it back for review and changes by the other coach would also be a welcome change. The ability to copy a previous lineup to be used for a subsequent quarter or game instead of having to tediously re-enter the entire squad for each different quarter would also be tremendously helpful. Additionally, having saved template lineups that we could pull from to quickly set our lineups would also be hugely helpful. Lastly, most teams these days use a team management app like Spond or TeamSnap to coordinate with parents about practice & game places/times and it would be extremely helpful to have some sort of interface with those apps so that we could pull the players from those apps to be used in the lineups. Being able to attach the specific lineups to the games (only visible to coaches) so that we might be able to coordinate and give feedback to each other while setting the lineup & making lineup changes to it would be a bonus as well. While many of these recommended changes are specific to AYSO, I feel that if they were adopted many coaches (including myself) would be willing to pay for the app as these are often the greatest time-consuming aspects of our roles as AYSO coaches.
