I have used Spond for almost 4 years now for my high school program and love it! The team and parents like that the calendar syncs to their iCalendar. As a staff we like to be able to see who is coming or not coming to events that are not mandatory so we can plan accordingly. The ability to record scores for games helps with our record keeping for scores and lineups but would love to see a notes section to added to put there for admin use. A live game chat/update would t be bad either! Overall super happy with the app and looking forward to continued additions.

Feature Suggestion:It would be very helpful if the app included a search function for posts and events within each group. Right now, members can only scroll through the feed or event lists, which can be time-consuming. Adding a keyword search bar would make it much easier for group members to quickly locate past announcements, updates, or specific events (e.g., “Trunk or Treat” or “Practice Schedule”).This feature would save time for both organizers and members, and help reduce repeated questions.

I downloaded Spond for a tennis app at my health club. You can imagine how many tennis classes there are my expectation was that. It would only download to my calendar if I signed up for it however, every tennis class that’s offered, which is for a day is downloaded to my calendar and I’ve stopped playing tennis. I remove the app. It still is on my calendar. I’ve deleted them off my calendar. They come back on my calendar. They send me notifications constantly. I called the health club and they removed my name off of their list and I deleted all of the ones that were in my calendar and then they all just filled back on and sent notifications. How do I get it to stop Cluttering my calendar.

With most of these team communication apps they provide some really great features but none of them have everything that want so I pick the one gives most of what I want and workaround the limitations for what the app doesn’t offer. So far everything that I’ve wanted is available either in the app or through the website. This app is going to make organizing for the team I coach much easier.

I haven’t had the app for long, but I’m already loving it! I love how you can change the settings to where everyone can create there own and elaborate or set it so just the administrator can do it, or even a mixture of both! This makes it really easy for whatever event your planning or activity you are a part of. I also love how it is really easy to add people to a group using your contacts. Thanks for making this app :D

As a voiceover user, I currently cannot create an event, poll, etc. when I try voiceover‘s focus is on the home page of the app, and does not indicate any of the choices to create an event or poll, etc. this issue is also present when you are in a group and trying to add a new event. I am guessing that perhaps a Modal window appears, and that is where the choices might be located. If this is correct voice overs, focus should transfer to that modal window and should be restricted to it until the person has made a choice.

Great customer service provided by Amalie at Spond! I experienced difficulty receiving a verification email. After two weeks of working with Spond, I asked to work with a “real” person and not the AI generated responses. Amalie contacted me and figured out the issue. I am very thankful for Amalie and very happy user of the Spond app.

Sometimes when receiving notifications (specifically for comments for events and direct messages) I will get repeat notifications. Once when it is initially received, and another time usually around 5-30 minutes after receiving the message, even if I have viewed and responded to the message. It’s just kind of annoying and confusing. Beside that, overall good app.

I love this app. There are just a couple things I would love to see to make it even better and more effective for managing teams. 1. An option to enter final scores. Then when the game has passed, the final score shows on the screen. 2. The ability to record game points per player, maybe even other stats like rebounds, assists, fouls, etc. Customized based on the sport. 3. The ability to archive teams for future use. Some seasons you may run less teams but keeping them on the active screen is too much. The ability to archive would be great. These additions would make this app the go to app for sports teams.

When you have multiple kids or multiple teams per kid, the non-stop notifications with no context about where the messages are coming from will drive you insane. There is no guidance for managers to label chats with team info to help differentiate either. Also, some messages are only visible from the web interface.It’d be nice if the app supported external keyboards for input as well. As it is now, the input boxes go away completely as soon as the keyboard is connected.
