Baseball Softball Pocket Coach Reviews

Confusing. Not helpful for little league. Don’t waste your money.

Ok if all you want to do is have a line-up. Can’t share with other coaches or someone keeping stats. Stats options are nice if you could share for someone else to use while you are busy coaching. Not a fan right now, but with simple improvements BaseballSoftballPocketCoach could be awesome.

So i am a coach and i LOVE BaseballSoftballPocketCoach. Only a couple things i think would improve it. When generating a batting report. It lists the players in alphabetical order. There is no option or report to generate that “ranks” the players according to stats. I.E. batting avg highest to lowest. Also when keeping track of pitches. I accidentally tapped ball many times instead of strike. To remove you have to hold the button for about 2-3 second for it to remove ONE count. I went over by 20 pitches. So this was tedious to remove 20 pitches. Adding a simple plus or minus tab there would be great. Other than that, BaseballSoftballPocketCoach is pretty good. Update the report to reflect top to bottom performers and i this is a 5 star app.

This software has a lot of nice options. One of the best I have seen. I like you can use it for different levels of detail. I would suggest a tab that would easily allow to keep track of general runs, outs , innings with out going into every player. Sort of like just a counter There is a lot going on with 7 year olds to keep track such detail as what base each player reached. It is a bit overwhelming while trying to Hurd cats. At the age I am helping with simple is better. The only other thing I would love to have is to be able to print the field position on the baseball diamond reference so I can post it for the kids to have a visual where they are playing. Right now I draw it on a white board and change it every inning. I thought this had that option when I purchased it because you can view it while choosing or changing their position. Overall a nice app, would be in my opinion perfect for my needs with a few tweaks. I also recommend that if you use the random option for field position it evenly distributs the kids that are benched. I like that you can change a position if you want but sometimes it will bench the same kid 3 times and not at all on others. Unfortunately my team is 15 played so we have to be sure the same kids don’t sit out all the time.
I really like the swipe option to say they are there or absent but it would be nice if when I say they are absent it would switch their position automatically with some on that is benched that inning.

Again this is a very nice software but not perfect yet

I love BaseballSoftballPocketCoach , but now I am trying to update my roster by exporting my TeamSnap roster and BaseballSoftballPocketCoach continues to reject it. I login to TeamSnap fine...

BaseballSoftballPocketCoach is hands down the best way for me to plan my defensive lineups for a whole game. It’s a feature not offered by any of the popular scorekeeping apps. The scorekeeping is very manual and not as fun as the popular ones, but it does allow for the more appropriate stat OBPE (On Base Percentage plus Errors), which is important for youth baseball and softball.

I wanna change the background though

I was driving myself nuts working with spreadsheets trying to plan my Little League team's batting order and positions, only to have to change everything on the fly when kids didn't show up. Now I have a tool that allows me to see the order and positions inning by inning with the ability to make changes on the fly.

When I first got BaseballSoftballPocketCoach, I was disappointed. I had a line of communication with the creator, and expressed my concerns. He responded to every email I sent, and assured me of improvements to come. He made all of the right changes through he latest updates, and now I highly recommend BaseballSoftballPocketCoach to any baseball coach. It's easy to work, and allows you to make changes on the fly. Worth every penny.

First day using it but so far it's been everything that I have been looking for. Love that it tracks practice attendance, defensive positions inning to inning and he score keeping seems super easy. The only thing I would like to see as of now is as part of the attendance and game tracker maybe an arrival time option, I like to track if my kids are on time or consistently late as that factors into play time etc.

Just downloaded this in advance of our first Tournament this weekend. Pretty simple once you get the idea of how to set up and view various options. I emailed with a question and got a response back quickly. Some new features in the works that will make it even easier. So nice that I can share easily with team manager and other coaches, scorekeeper, etc. Looking forward to being able to track some simple stats on our team as well

Great little app & getting better. Used it all last season and kept good stats on every player which is good when all star selection time rolls around because there is no question who to send. Not to mention it really shows you what you need to work on throughout the season. If they added defensive stats and a couple other little things it would be almost perfect. Looking for more good things before this season starts! Keep up the good work.

I’ve been using game changer for a while now. After looking around I decided to give BaseballSoftballPocketCoach a try. The thing that appeals most is the ability to set positions per inning. I coach for my sons local little leagues (there are several). In gamechanger I have to change their positions every inning, so it has a tendency to mess with stats a little if I’m not on top of things.

I noticed that the last update was a year ago, have there been any recent developments with BaseballSoftballPocketCoach? I’d be interested to see if there’s anything in the works.

For "coaching" (managing) a very competitive jack and Jill softball team; with tournaments, regular league games, practices, and 16 team members on the roster, BaseballSoftballPocketCoach was there for me. Making it super easy to have players tell me weeks in advance that they wouldn't be at this or that game, such and such tournament, and just being able to so "ok I got it" and swipe their name off that specific game/tournament took all the guess work out of "who's going to be there?."
The amount of game winning batting line up's I was able to write because of the batting averages it kept up with was just awesome! Seeing whose had more fielding time than others, and who needs to get some fielding time in too was just fantastic! It took all the guess work out of the season, and really helped me keep it fair and win a lot of games.
I highly highly recommend BaseballSoftballPocketCoach! Best pocket coach you'll ever need.

2016Updated version: still just as awesome as ever! A little glitchy here and there, but still my go to coaching app that keeps me and my team on top of it for each and every game, practice & tournament.

Would it be possible to add hit location/notes for player at bats?

App is a must have for youth coaches! So easy to keep track of who’s playing where. Just print and post! Also great for simple scorekeeping for younger kids!

So far so good. Can one coach share everything with another coach? We both tried several different things and nothing has worked. Please help

The only BUT I have about BaseballSoftballPocketCoach is not having a section under the “fielding section” to take notes on errors made, putouts, etc to help me make good position decisions when needed

Phenomenal customer/help support!!!! I had a glitch after a recent update, and they went above and beyond to PERSONALLY help me through the issue! 👍 Amazing work guys! Would DEFINITELY recommend BaseballSoftballPocketCoach!!!!!!! 💯

I've enjoyed using BaseballSoftballPocketCoach. It allows me to capture the stats I really need and make lineup adjustments on the fly. Unfortunately though it has started crashing and now it will only open for a second or two before crashing. I don't want to lose the data so I'm stuck.
