I’m a life long follower of the Livonia Bulldog football program and a huge fan of the group of men who lead them. I’ve always been ready and willing to give back to the program that gave me so much. Unfortunately the last couple of years my son had decided that he would have to give it up to pursue his travel hockey goals. This is fine with me but unfortunately I’m not able to see many games in person anymore and I don’t have the time to volunteer either.
The upside is that because of max preps I am able to follow my coaches and team from wherever our hockey schedule takes us. Cleveland for the opener, Buffalo last week, Canada this week, and Detroit the next. Thanks so much for your service and for the people that take the time to update throughout the game! My dogs are wherever I am and I am very grateful.

Just found this yesterday in App Store. Our high school girls and boys basketball had games last night, and minutes after games ended, scores were posted. Am following other schools and scores posted immediately. Have and still using ScoreStream and mhsaa app, but max prep beats both hands down. Today, it even posted rankings locally, statewide, and national..
That said, hope max prep covers track and field, golf, and competitive cheer. My niece is doing competitive cheer as a varsity hs sport, but not many site apps cover it. Also, local paper comes out weekly, and majority of sports coverage is basketball, football, volleyball, and soccer.
Update. Just received a response from developer. Thanks for the feedback and looking forward to future upgrades to app

I love that we can keep up to date with highschool football rankings. It’s really cool being able to see all this stuff. The biggest thing that bothers me are the Rankings are really skewed. They keep certain schools ranked at the top regardless if they lose or not. It’s a bit of favoritism. Let’s look at American Heritage is some how ranked at 32 in the country but treasure coast Titans are ranked at 52. Treasure coast beat AH by 8 points but had a tough away game against cocoa beach with a few injuries and lost by a point for the first of the season. Now American heritage isn’t a bad football team they have a tough schedule. In an easier schedule they’d probably be undefeated. All I’m saying is if they pretty much got dominated for most of the game by treasure coast there’s no way they should be ranked over them. It wasn’t a 1 time thing. Treasure coast is an elite team. Put some Respect on them.

As a high school volleyball coach, I depend on this app to keep up with our competitors. We are a rural team and no single newspaper covers all teams in our conference or region. Also we encourage other coaches in our conference/region to maintain their team stats on this app. Yes this helps in scouting, but it’s more important at the All Conference, All Region, and All State selection meetings because the player has a history and coaches don’t get questioned about stats being made up. My only frustration is that it runs as an iPhone app on my iPad, which I mostly use in landscape not portrait mode. The iPad app should be responsive to the screen size and orientation.

It’s a good app if you just want to track your school, look up stats, schedules, rosters, etc. But if you want watch game film, just know that you’ll have a better time sticking your boys into a meat grinder.
First off, most of the player’s film is broken down into small segments (some of which are only 15 seconds long). Which would normally not be a big deal, except for the fact that you’re forced to watch a 45 second commercial before the start of EACH clip.
I’m not a math man, but according to those calcs, you have watch 3 minutes of ATT commercials for every 1 minute of game film. I understand this is a free service and you need to advertise for revenue, but that ad to film ratio is out of control.

this app is a good app for high school sports information, or at least it is for basketball and football, but it’s depth of stats and reporting on games is very limited. I realize that they are probably at the mercy of unpaid score reporters, but why not hold these reporters to a higher standard and require them to give you the scores in each quarter or just don’t report for this app anymore. It’s frustrating to see all of these categories that have zero information when I click on the link.
I do appreciate all of the final scores that get listed and the historical information available, like season game scores, but there’s loads of room for improvement.
Thank you for what you do!

this app does a fantastic job cataloging teams throughout the country. Every now and then, teams will upset a higher ranked team. Upsets make football or any other athletic contest interesting. I suppose that analytics, statistics, individual player performances, returning players and school traditions go into the ranking. It would be nice to know exactly what goes into the numbers. There have been changes in ranking whether a team has won or lost. Most likely by outcomes of common opponents or other mitigating circumstances. Overall, as a score keeper, I cherish being involved in my teams ranking. Go #MaxPrep!!

I love being able to watch my Grandson Joel Speckman Jr play varsity basketball for Chaparral High school in Parker, Colorado, but some of the games don’t have a scoreboard with the real time and score superimposed on the screen. It is very frustrating. I live in Arizona and he live in Colorado. Most of the games I have watched haven’t been close. They are 5 and 0 fit the season. I’m afraid there is going to be a close game and I won’t know the score or how much time is left. Other than that I love MaxPreps.

Couldn’t even set it up.... I’m old it’s probably not simple enough for me.
Update: Every-time I loaded MaxPreps and selected log in - it asked about notification, location, and nothing. Nothing to swipe or touch on location. Had to delete MaxPreps to get off the screen(regardless of location settings). The last attempt I selected new setup and input my info. It gave me a message profile already existed and offered to log in- logged in and it worked flawlessly. this app did email and offer assistance.

I tried to correct a score in the New Albany (Indiana) vs Bloomington South game. A Bloomington South fan turned in a score of 56-0 and you never even questioned it. I sent in a correction that was ignores. You also had NA losing to Floyd Central 3 times in December and you never corrected that. How likely is that? Your ranking of NA was affected the whole year.
I pretty much gave up on reporting scores because your whole reporting system is flawed. How can you believe a 56-0 score with the wrong team winning.

I have been using MaxPreps for over a year and am an approved score reporter. I report mostly volleyball score an d find the process a little cumbersome. Whenever you report a score update, you have to re-enter all data, set number, how many sets eac team has won, etc. when you report the final set score, it should auto populate to the final score page, and the previously reported set number and sets won should be retained when you go to report an update score, rather than a blank form again. Otherwise, a very good and useful app.

This is an awesome app since our local news is not so great at getting the information out when you can’t make the game. However, I have turned off the sounds & notifications. Leading up to game day it’s notification after notification after notification. I only follow three teams & it seems to be only one making all of the racket. So maybe it’s someone in that team’s organization.

Overall as a big high school sports fan it has been a very enjoyable app. There are a few issues though. When you click on a team roster and click on a single player if you hit the back arrow after you hit on the player it will bring you back to the teams home page. this can be a little frustrating at times. MaxPreps has tons of potential if updated.😀

MaxPreps has a lot of good information. However, MaxPreps is not user friendly at all.
When I had issues, they did not have the decency to reply to my email inquiries. There is no communication when you run into challenges with MaxPreps .
When the score was not reported for my son’s game, I clicked on “Report Score”. A new screen opened, but MaxPreps did not allow me to report the score.

At times we can’t be at the games we have enjoyed this app in monitoring our grandkids games however there are times when we log on and this app don’t show the updates and any scores even though we contact the coaches wife who is putting the scores in. She says “I enter the scores like normal and she doesn’t know why they don’t show up until maybe the next day” or well after we hear the results of the game from other sources.
I would be interested in knowing why this is as we do enjoy how this app use to follow each game.

I really enjoy your recaps. I am a proud mother/ grandmother and have close connections to this team. My son is their defensive coordinator. I have 3 grandson’s who play also on this team. Mason #30 (senior), Carter #12 Junior, Makoi #3 Sophomore. They’re top players on the team. Esko’s record is 9-0. And they’re now looking forward a playing in the playoffs. Keep up the great videos!!!

Overall, it is pretty good. My one complaint is the fact that the “back” button is not reliable - sometimes it will actually take you back to the previous screen, but way more often than not, it takes you all the way back to the original search. Very frustrating when trying to track certain things.

The previous app for this app was a whole lot easier to use than this version. As a high school coach it’s a real pain with this version to get to the school that you were following to select rosters schedules find information it’s just a lot more clunky and cumbersome than the previous version.
By SparrowMeMistie
It’s a decent app but I would absolutely pay to remove ads. They’re clogging up MaxPreps and showing up in the middle of the screen. I’d also like to be able to find the highlight recording feature easier on MaxPreps . It was there one minute, then it was gone. Lastly, whenever I try to share the link on social media from a highlight video it says the page is unavailable.
By UnxForgiven
Great, informational, and clean app. Problem is it’s not very user friendly, and finding information can be difficult at times. Also, if I am clicked on a team’s page, if I exit MaxPreps or even respond to a text, I am returned to the home screen and have to look the team up again, which is extremely irritating. Score reports are usually accurate, but inaccuracies can not be completely blamed on this app. If the simple issues get fixed, undeniable 5 stars.

There needs to be a better way to sync with game changer. Game changer constantly changes with game schedules etc. it’s a pain to try to make updates when it makes one sync on a pre schedule and won’t adapt with updates from game changer schedules. It would be a huge improvement to have this ability.
By Run to Win
MaxPreps is slow and inconsistent. As a scorer several games would not let me send updates. I could get MaxPreps to let me resume scoring and posting updates … so I had to make posts in the general comments area. Also, I submitted my name to score the next couple of games for our team. I was removed twice and replaced with a Star Scorer for our team. He never showed up to the game and made no posts. Not sure how to fix that … but we had no scorer for those games. Wished it worked better - really do!!

Max Preps you guys have a great app that lets people follow along when I’m covering sporting events. The only suggestion I have is that when I’m using an iPad I like the sideways look much better as it goes with my case for the device. I wouldn’t mind if you created a different app just for iPad users. If you can update MaxPreps to allow for that I will rate it 5 stars easily.

MaxPreps always crashes, says it “can’t find the teams I have saved”, and doesn’t have all of the sports for the schools listed. The this app website is great but I am very disappointed with MaxPreps . Additionally, there is more information about the school rankings on the website than in MaxPreps . There is also a way to search for athletes and schools on the website, but MaxPreps only lets you search for schools. When it works, MaxPreps is great for scores; however I would recommend using the website for more in-depth stats and rankings.

There’s a wealth of information to be gained at Max Preps and that makes it a useful coaching tool. But if you’re new to it, and not so savvy with technology, it’s a bit hard to get started. Were my wife not the principal/athletic director at our school, I might still be fumbling around with it. But it’s all good now. I’m still trying to upload our mascot (Hornets)to our page but the rest is done.

I could not be more impressed with the amount of “reliable” sports info for high school sports. Take for instance, i received a score from my home basketball team 20 mins after it ended Mind you this game was an hour away and it just pops up on my phone! A great way to connect!

The student that I want to watch it’s not playing volleyball this year but she is playing basketball. Her team has played at least two dozen games this year yet I can only find highlights for one game. I tried asking for help and Max prep ask for money sounds like a scam to me. Now all max prep needs to do is prove me wrong.
