Cancelled app
15 year old mistakenly got app and subsequently cancelled 7/9 but game changers continues to try and debit 27.05 from her Apple Pay 8/1, 8/5, 8/6, & 8/7. Insufficient funds in account as don’t want to reload seeing app continues to try and se it but 2 hours on phone w/ Apple and their green dot bank they can’t block a merchant. Have reported multiple times through app and still having to fight this
Awesome!!
Love it
Crash
App keeps crashing when I click on it
Great
Game changer is a awesome app. The only thing that holds it back is how expensive the subscription is. If the subscription becomes cheaper then This would be a 5 star app
great, but...
hi! i've been playing softball for 8 years and using gamechanger for 6 of them. i'd like to start off by saying this is a wonderful app, and very functional!! however, there are a few things i would like to point out that can be annoying while using the app.
1. as a player, i want to have gamechanger so i can watch my siblings games, look at my stats, and watch my clips. the thing is, all of these things are only available to premium users, which i do not have the money to buy as a teenager. it gets really old asking my mom to look at my stats or watch my videos, so i think this app would be so much better if they either made premium cheaper, made these things accessible without paying altogether, or created a "player" account where they can access their own stuff without having to pay.
2. going back on the "player" account, i think that would be really cool so then for example when my mom has to RSVP me to games, i can just do it myself. i also don't like being listed as a parent. like, seriously, why can't i be a player??
3. finally, sometimes gamechanger just does not want to work. it doesn't load, captures the wrong clips, or the livestream and plays announcer are drastically off while watching a live game. this is probably the biggest issue that everyone has.
anyways, those are my only complaints. besides these few flaws, gamechanger is a great way to stay involved, communicate, and keep track of things!! thank you for looking into this. good luck to everyone's teams!! ✌️
Not advanced enough to give 4-5 stars
I use this app to follow my two nephews sports games because I am too far away to watch in person. I love watching the video but it’s been pretty frustrating to say the least. Premium is way too expensive when I just want to watch games and I don’t know that it would eliminate the issue I see. Can your developers work on a way to allow you to use your phone for other things like texting, taking phone calls, or all the “things” that normal people do with their phones, without going back to the video and getting a black video spinning for eternity? To get back to the live video I always have to “x” out of the original video and hit video again which ALWAYS punts to an add. I’ve even done this by accident. 😳For example, I’ll be watching video and see a notification for something pop up on my phone and tried to swipe it away but accidentally opened the notifying app. Then I try to quickly get back to the video and missed critical plays because I am forced through this cycle and have to watch an add, many times missing critical plays by my nephews. I feel like a prisoner to the app while watching games. Don’t touch the phone wrong, don’t do anything else. It’s SO frustrating. I also see a lot of issues with livestream pausing but I realize that could be a connection issue with the camera/phone broadcasting. But that too can force me to go through the same cycle.
I hope you do take a look at improving this. I’m on an iPhone if that is helpful.
Wonderful Application, however, Scoring Features can be Added apart from Streaming
I have been using this application since 2017 and have enjoyed using it. Tracking the baseball games of my high school and college team has been super simple and I will continue to do so using GameChanger. I do not give it the full five stars, however, in that I feel the app has shifted more so to the focus on streaming/recording the games then the actual scoring. It has been over 8 months (looking back at the update history on the App Store) and even longer since a scoring feature or dimension had been added to baseball and the other sports which GameChanger tracks. I understand asking for new features takes time however, when the feature is an addition to an already existing feature it should not be a huge issue to add in. Example: Adding a “left-center” and “right-center” option for a home run when only provided a “right”, “center”, and “left” option already in the application. I and others have reached out with potential feature additions all to receive the same automated like response of, “We will definitely pass your suggestion on to our engineers… We cannot promise that it will be added, but we will definitely explore the possibility when deciding what features to build next.” We have potential feature ideas and want to help to continue to build GameChanger up because we enjoy the application and would like to see the app grow even more. I enjoy GameChanger and just hope to see GameChanger to continue to add on certain features for scoring which it’s users have provided.
BEWARE Newcomers
UPDATE: I was contacted by a representative of GameChanger Jamie. Jamie worked with me to get some of the footage he was able to retrieve from my son’s homers from the season. I am very thankful for that. Jamie also apologized for this happening and also let me know this is not how the app was intended to be used. I will use GameChanger in the future because of Jamie! I was paying for the Premium GameChanger and was pleased with it up until last week. After the season was over we informed the coach that our son would not be continuing to play for him in the fall. Without notice I was removed from the team and that was fine with me…. Until I realized I no longer has access to all the games he had played. The app would no longer allow me to access those past games. It was also his first season he finally hit his 1st home run. I reached out to the coach asking for some him to consider allowing me the opportunity to get access for a limited amount of time so I would be able to get those videos or make clips and still no response. I feel that GameChanger was a waste of my money this entire time especially after I paying the monthly subscription fee to be able to go back on games. It’s sad that one immature coach ruined my opinion of GameChanger. I hope that GameChanger considers making a change so parents can still have access to their kids games even after the season is over. BEWARE newcomers to the app!! I should have saved my money and used my own camera like I had been doing in since he began playing baseball.
I changed my mind after using Premier
UPDATE: I had an opportunity to use a premium account this weekend. EVERY frustration that I expressed in my initial review are addressed. I was able to enjoy the games (including breaks). I was able to replay and make videos of my grandson’s AB’s and plays in the field, review statistics, etc. All as advertised. I was thoroughly impressed and highly recommend the premium accounts, whichever one meets your needs.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I tried to use the basic free app to follow my grandson’s baseball. Unfortunately, if you do not pay 100% attention to the app you are out of luck!! I love my grandson, but I am unable to watch the app 100% of the time. I missed his AB’s and am out of luck. No audio, no play by play to catch up, no box score, no game recap. If the game doesn’t fit your schedule or if you need to go to the bathroom or fix something to eat or answer the phone…you are out of luck. I live on social security and in today’s world I am unable to pay for upgrades. I will forgo the frustration. Too bad there isn’t a reasonable price for seniors on limited incomes.
Love the app for the most part.
The app is great for the most part my biggest issue is with the search features. The classic app would allow me to search by state or country if I was unsure exactly what town had been used to register a team unfortunately now I have to search by each town even if they are very close together. The second issue is the search will return a lot of results when I use multiple words. For instance I use a league name with the words All Star even if I put quotation marks around it I get a couple thousand results even when limited to the current season. The search will also return all teams with word all or star in them there is no way to limit the search to an exact match.
Location is also weird in that fact that some location searches will only return those results from those cities while other would return from multiple cities. You would think it would be the big cities returning multiple and the small just those locations instead I search for Phoenix I will only get teams with a location of Phoenix. If I search for Mesa however, I get Mesa, Gilbert, or Chandler.
The search is also weird in the fact that if I have a word in the title that happens to be a place name I will also get all the teams associated with that location if I don’t put a limit on the location.
I’m hoping for a clean up of the search function especially with most teams switching over to the team manager app
It’s good when it actually works
I was thinking about paying for an upgrade but it has been so unreliable over the past 2 weeks that I certainly won’t be doing that anytime soon. We had a 4 game baseball tournament this weekend at a location with a very strong wireless signal. We had issues keeping our live camera feed online all weekend long. Game #3 it refused to broadcast at all no matter what we did and game #4 it worked for the first 2 innings and then dropped out. The live play by play was spotty also with hiccups here and there and it also dropped out in the 2nd inning of game #4 where the broadcast froze up and never updated until an hour after the game ended. It wasn’t just me either it was the same for everyone I talked to afterwards including my dad who likes to watch his grandsons games from afar. I had to leave the tournament before the championship game to go to a memorial service so I was listening to the live video feed in the car. The second inning the live feed went offline and the play by play froze up for the remainder of the game. GameChanger left me in the dark for the rest on my son’s championship game. Our team fought with it all weekend long and for the most part, it was just a big waste of time.
Lost too many features from The original GC
They have announced that the original GC will no longer be supported, but they have also left out too many features from the original. For example, you cannot do any research into other teams. It was really nice in GC to be able to search out other teams and view their schedule and results to get a feel for what the team is like. Another example related to the last is the inability to view a replay of a game for a team that I am not a part of. My son and I like to watch his friends’ games sometimes, but we don’t want to be official followers of the team. Yet another example is that there is no web interface anymore. It is so nice on GC to be able to go on your computer and view all the stats, and even download the stats for some of your own analysis. You can still export, but it requires an additional step of emailing the stats to yourself.
Anyway, I would give it 5 stars if they could have kept all the same functionality of the original GC, while simply adding to it with the new functionality of GC Team Manager.
Money Grabber
I Coach multiple teams for basketball, I reached out multiple times to get some customer service help and of course there is no one to actually speak with, or phone number to contact anyone you have to speak with a robot online or email. I purchased the premium level, because it leads you believe that is he only option to keep everything under on roof basically. Well, I thought the parents were able to at LEAST see their child’s stats if I purchased this level and placed it under “anyone” could see. So, I had all my parents go in lo behold they want more money out of each parent. Which realistically they already were getting it if some of them because they play baseball. So, it is not free to coaches because I already paid. Which I am ok with it was part of my deal now my parents were getting the stick with needing to pay even more money. It doesn’t even have all the correct information needed for basketball game.
How do I get a refund from the 80$ I paid for no one to be able to see the see stats?! I’d rather just keep them on paper this is absurd. I’ll find another app that they can see for free and I can stream elsewhere. And… GET A CUSTOMER SUPPORT NUMBER!
Good but could be great…..
GameChanger is a great tool and solid platform. I used the “Classic” for years. I was a good boy and switched to the Team Manager as pushed to do upon its release. So after using TM for several season now, I miss many of the small features of the “classic.” Having to put up with the terrible abbreviated names, where in classic you could edit them and have them make sense. I loved the old web interface and watching the games in real time and access to stats. The short game recap blurbs where neat. With the new improvements to AI, those burbs would be a nice addition to bring over to TM. There is a real missed opportunity with team logos being used. I put all the logos for our teams in, yet I never see them utilized anywhere except buried in the opponents section. Let’s see the logos in the schedule and while scoring the games. Also, add to the pitch count. Let’s see totals pitches, inning pitches, and at bat pitches. Lastly, add a fielder’s choice+error option to score plays. Just a few small things that could make TM better and go from good to great.
