This app was good to begin with, but has slowly declined. There’s a lot of good thing and useful features but when you can’t even share simple photos or videos with your team cause the quality is so poor and pixilated to the point you can barely open the picture and zoom. It’s pretty disappointing. Someone sends a GIF? Well you’re lucky if it plays once, before freezing and being literally unwatchable. I know it’s not the most important thing about the app but that was never an issue when first using it. I think desktop might be better but this is supposed to be accessible to your team in a mobile manner so we can get quick responses which doesn’t always happen since half the team doesn’t even get notifications, or there’s a new message that doesn’t show OR shows then disappears to the point where you need to retry typing your message multiple times just to get it to post. I do like the format but it’s just lacking in some basic ways that are pretty intolerable at times. My team has already been discussing just going back to what’sapp or group me just so we can have no issues with chatting. Hopefully some of these basic functions are improved cause I’d love to continue using the platform.

Hi there. Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. We have a brand new Chatter coming very soon that is amazing. If you can just hold on a little longer, we know you’re going to love it.
Pretty good, but could be better

I’ve been using BenchApp for 3ish years now, and it makes managing a team a lot easier. Like a lot a lot. Sometimes it freezes and requires an app restart but that’s not too big a deal. What irks me the most is the inability to check game stats per player. There is no way to do it! I want to check points, plus minus, etc which I input for all players during game, but there is no way to check individual game stats, only season stats. Other than that the app is great, just wish they’d add that feature.
So many less organizing headaches!

Team captains, pay for the pro version. It will change your life. I run two softball teams, a pretty regular weeknight team and a beer league weekend work team with a huge roster. Having automated reminders in various forms going out to players to check in/out for games takes the stress off having to send the weekly email, and being the bad guy when you have to text/email a player for the 3rd time. Giving the players the chance to respond via text also makes it so easy for them! The ability to send out a quick broadcast email or text for last minute stuff (rainouts, field changes, etc) saves you from having to search to make sure you have the right current group text chain in your phone. The chatter feature keeps that chatter in the app, and I’ve found my teams get more excited to use it as the season goes on. Oh, and being able to keep track of who still owes team fees? Awesome. The developers are hands on as well. Is the app perfect yet? No, but they are very open to ideas and suggestions and are tweaking all the time. I can’t say enough about the app.
Best team management app with the BEST service!

We’ve been using the free version for several seasons and then about six months ago we went to the paid version. It’s SO worth it. As the captain, I used to have to still go into Facebook for some players, emails for some, and text the others and then try to compile it all even in the app to keep track of who we needed to call if we needed subs. The paid version took care of ALL that. I just required everyone get the app or at least sign up for it. Even if they didn’t install it, they still got the emails and texts! This became a lifesaver for removing the captaincy headache of trying to get twenty adults all on the same page. Then earlier today, I had a little snafu with my account and emailed support. The owner replied within a couple hours and everything is all good. I can’t wait to get back to playing, but I know at least until I do, i’ll still be in touch with my team and subs and we will be well ahead of the next season when it’s ready to start (post virus restrictions).
