Love the idea, hoping with time the execution pays off. To start I should say I’m a coach and a parent of players. I like the app as a coach although the mobile features are pretty lacking. All the detail work needs to be done on a desktop using their website and it is not intuitive. It has some benefits for scheduling and the detail in regards to player stats, etc. is pretty solid. It is frustrating that you cannot see the schedules of your opponents or their results within your division or league. That would be pretty helpful. You can infer in from points and goal differential but it doesn’t seem like it’d be a difficult integration. As a parent of a player on a team other than the one I coach whose team also uses squads, it’s next to impossible to figure out how to follow his team and team stats. It is not intuitive and the menus are so limited. I’d love to see this app take some notes fe TeamSnap. If you could take all the ease of use of TeamSnap and marry it with Squadi you might have the perfect soccer app. Sadly, this app is a long way from that.

First, all support link in the Apple Store gives a 404 Not Found Error. I tried that before writing a review within the first 5 minutes of downloading the app because I’d rather get support and FIX the problem but apparently we aren’t like-minded in that goal. When I click “follow a team or league”, it appears I have the option to input a search, but if I click to search bar to enter my query, it goes to the next screen as though I hit Done. The next screen says “please enter a minimum of 3 characters to search”. Bruh, I tried to 🤷🏼‍♀️ I then tried to set up a profile instead. I’m trying to add my picture and I selected the one picture I want to give the app access to because I don’t want it to have access to all pictures. That’s a COMMON setting. Now it only gives me the option to either go to my settings and update (presumably to allow all) or take a photo. Now I’m really questioning if this app will work at all before I even have an account set up. Not professional or useful; Not competently designed. I would literally rather have NO APP or fewer features than to have one that I have to tell players’ parents we are using this nonsense, knowing good and well that the user experience is garbage. Youth sports interfacing should be seamless for parents - this could literally be the tipping point for some parents to quit or enroll somewhere that doesn’t use Squadi, so why throw this garbage at them?

When managing two teams, there is no way to view just one team’s matches that need scheduled/approved (tasks). The Team filter option just gives you the ability to filter “Home” and “Away” matches…not actual teams as the heading “Teams” would imply. Cannot easily toggle between my two teams. When a notification is given regarding another team’s comment, it doesn’t automatically take you to that comment when clicking on the notification. All 20 teams show up and I have to scroll through them all. Time stamps in the comments are not correct. When clicking on “My Team” and then selecting 1 of my 2 teams, it doesn’t take me to just that team’s Dashboard. Instead, I only have the option to view Registrations or Stats. From there, it’s not just registrations for the 1 team I selected; instead I see both of my players (on different teams). When clicking on “App Support” in the App Store, I get a “404 File Not Found” message. Not a good sign from a tech company. Much to desire.
