Tackle Football Playmaker X 4+

I used the original app for years and think this new version is great. I like that it’s still easy to draws plays quickly, but also like that they’ve added more detailed drawing options like option routes and text that I can put right on the play. Being able to give all coaches and players access is great too.

Thanks for giving the new app a try, coach. Glad you like it and appreciate the kind feedback. Hope you have a great season.

I’ve used playmaker tackle football and playmaker flag for a few years now. Both were pretty useful in putting ideas down on paper in a clear and concise way. Playmaker x continues In the tradition of the previous playmakers, but it has added animation to the app. I really love the animation. The coaches I work with like and the kids really liked as well. The problem have is that it isn’t as easy to use as I would like it to be.
Animating the players is pretty easy. Point then in a direction and they move.
Animating the football is a much tougher. As a person with big hands, it’s tough for me to move the football without moving the lineman, Qb or running back. A fix to this would be a zoom feature onto the screen so that u can actually see what you’re trying to do. It would make following the lines a lot easier as well.
The football should also default to the star player on the screen. That would help with making the plays.
There are also a few widgets in the program that I haven’t seen defined. So I don’t know what their purpose is for.

Thanks for your thoughtful review - I appreciated your genuine feedback, both the things you liked and your constructive input. Regarding the features whose purpose you haven't yet discovered - you might be interested in the library of tutorials and videos we have on our support site (link in the upper right corner at www.tacklefootballplaymaker.com). Or, if you prefer, email me directly at support@tacklefootballplaymaker.com and I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you might have. Hope you have a great season!

This will be my first time using this app. I just became head coach of my 13u youth football team and I wanted to utilize an app that will digitize my playbook since my players love being in their phones anyway. So far this app has been very helpful. Creating plays and formulating it to what fits my team has been very easy. Would have given it 5 stars but the only thing I feel that the app is missing is something along the lines of a word document feature where you can add literature (not just notes) to your playbook. Other then that, this app has been really good.

Thanks, coach. I'm glad you've found the play creation easy and I appreciate you asking about a new narrative feature. Will you email me at support@tacklefootballplaymaker.com so I can learn a bit more about what you're envisioning? I've been working on examples for high level, introductory playbook info (ex. huddle procedures, alignments, hole numbering, etc.) and would be interested in hearing your ideas. I hope your first season as head coach is a good one!
