Feature Ideas

An update has happened, I used to be able to see the handedness when doing lines but that has disappeared, can you please bring this back?

I am subscribed to a lot of drop-ins and it would help my wife know which games I decided to check-in. She subscribed to the calendar so she can see the events, but always has to ask me if I am planning on going or not. My vision is adding the status as a header or footer to the event title as such: [IN] Hawks vs Brewsers [?] Hawks vs Shock [OUT] Hawks vs Goon Squad

When I sync schedule to hockey league schedule the time zone does not accurately transfer over. All events are 5 hours ahead. I’m in NY which is gmt -5, can’t find any setting to make adjustments

Allow players to have more than one position. For example, a goalie could also play forward.

Allow users to integrate with a public BenchApp API.

Allow managers the ability to edit a poll.

When a checked-in skater checks-out prompt them to verify that they want to checkout. Subsequent to the redesigned user interface, we've had a number of players accidentally checkout. We often have a waitlist for our group so these players lose their spot. They're unhappy and they let me know about it. Thanks for considering this enhancement. (As a bonus for this enhancement, enable the managers to see the userid of the person that performed the checkout, so the managers can then help the disgruntled skater understand that it was their error, assuming that it was.)

Would be great if the calendar subscription updated based on the user's attendance to an event. IE if a user has checked "Out" then the corresponding calendar event should have them set as "Not Attending"

would be nice to have the ability to add and remove players from chats. That way when a player steps up to help run the team we don’t have to make a new chat every time

I have the issue with a lot of people turning off notifications because they don't want everyone else's comments. Is there a way to work it like Slack/Discord where you have a channel only admins/captains/assistants/managers can post on that forces notifications and then a "squirrel channel" where people can just talk and do whatever with that you can subscribe to or not. I know bulletins are similar, but they can still get lost in the mess of other people responding. Basically I want people to be able to see every official message I've ever posted, but not have to deal with everyone's chatter. Here are my thoughts on potential functionalities: Admin channel functionalities: -Only labeled managers & assistants can post, but everyone can heart/thumbs up/react -Forces notifications -Automatically added when you join the team Squirrel channel functionalities: -Anyone can post -You can "unsubscribe"/turn off notifications for this chat -Automatically added when you join the team

When making lines add an option to write in a sub that isn’t on the roster or spares list. Doesn’t have to be just making lines just a place to pencil them in then put them on a line.

Possibility for any members to come with additional players that will increment the total number of participants. Members can add how many additional players (and in comment their names). And this number of additional players will be added to the total number of participants (this is to manage ad hoc/punctual reenforcement when needed).

This feature was available before, but recently I can only upload CSVs or XLS files which is inconvenient as our league provides ICS files.

I had a guy check in and then set status to ? the day of the skate. Kinda sneaky but allowed by the app. After check-in, only allow check-out/no option.

Add sailing as another sport. I manage a big boat sailing team that requires setting a line of specialized crew/positions each week. Ive been managing my hockey team thru the Benchapp and see that it would transfer pretty seamlessly to my sailing team. I want to see clearly who is def in, who is def out, and what positions they typically do so I know if I need to invite a sub or two. I'd ask you add positions within the sailing sport as: HELM, TACTICIANI, MAIN, JIB TRIM, SPINNAKER TRIM, OFFSIDE TRIM, PIT, MAST, SEWER, FLOATER, OTHER1, OTHER2, BOW, and if its possible to arrange them like this that would be sick too. HELM TACTICIAN JIB TRIM OFFSIDE TRIM SPINNAKER TRIM PIT SEWER FLOATER OTHER OTHER BOW
