Dark mode for the app.

When payment is accepted through the app the fees can add up fast. For our weekly pick up game of just 10 players we pay $14.70 in fees a week. When you add in the $9/month for pro that comes to $67.80 a month. There should be a way for players to pay using the numerous no-fee payment services out there like Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.

Allow a player to choose between IN, OUT and MAYBE.

It would be neat to automatically pull in USA hockey registration numbers for the team. Lookup based on email or phone number / state or whatever. I think this would also save commissioners a ton of time in checking each player. Imagine they would pay a little bit for that time savings. It's only a once or twice a year deal, but annoying to do.

In the game day reminders, include the opponent's name when sending via text or email.

Provide an option for a team manager or a league to partner with sponsor(s). Since BenchApp already allows a logo to be added for branding it would be additional sponsor opportunity to include a logo and marketing slogan to team Dashboard and/or all email messages

Some people have jersey number 0 or 00, but the app won’t accept that as a number. So it appears that they have no jersey number at all.

Allow time to be displayed in 24 hour time.

As a pickup manager I would like to see when a player gets added to a roster or waitlist and any changes to that players log history. For example if they waitlist and then get added to the roster and pull them selves off for whatever reason, I would like to see the time stamps when they added themselves to the waitlist and when I added them to the roster. Currently I only see the last action, in this example the Check Out. Having access to the time history of a player can be useful is some scenarios.

It would be very helpful to let folks sign in with their Google accounts. take advantage of Google's strong MFA options (security keys, passkeys)fewer passwords to rememberless typing/fewer typos on mobilefewer password recovery-related support inquiries

Just switching team over from another app and now we don't have a maybe option for checking in on game availability. If players that put yes or no with a note are put to a wait-list by the manager of the team and then switch their note to say yes they have to wait for the manager to take them off the wait-list? And that's more work for the manager to do. If they could just put maybe and then later chose in our out themselves, that would be ideal.

Please build a bare-bones CarPlay interface for chatter. My team sends a ton of messages while people are driving to the rink about the game before us being over, or the parking lot being full, and it’s not very safe to read on the road. A simple way to have Siri just read the messages would be a crucial improvement.

Hey there, BenchApp looks promising but I’d love to see it support rugby in the sport list

The app limits any creativity for overtime. The only thing you can do is give one point to each team for a tie. If a league does 3 on 3 overtime or overtime shoot out, only the winning team gets points. The losing team gets 0.
