Feature Ideas

Notify a manager when a player was previously checked IN but then they check OUT.

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.

Allow a player to invite a +1 to a game if they're bringing a friend or spare.

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.

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.

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

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.

Allow time to be displayed in 24 hour time.

Allow max players to be set by gender.

Is there a way to change the Half-Time structure? The current structure of selecting 2 specific players to share 1 spot is not that functional for me over these years I do not always have 2 players dedicated for 1 position Sometimes both Half-Time players will play, but having one Half-Time sign "IN" will force the other Half-Time to only select "WAITLIST" even though the game roster has open spots available Of course the game roster must have open spots dedicated for Full-Time players and Half-Time players must be restricted and not allowed to register "IN" and take a Full Time player spot My suggested solution: Leave the current Half-Time structure as-is, asking who to "share" with another for Managers who like and follow a strict linked player pairing Add the option to allow Managers to set a player as Half-Time, but NOT forced to link with another Half-Time player Add the option to allow Managers to set the max # limit of Full-Time players and max # limit of Half-Time players for game rosters for the season This will let non-linked Half-Time players to sign "IN" until Half-Time roster spots reach max limit, while still leaving dedicated Full-Time roster spots open to all Full-Time players If a lot of Full-Time players cannot play and Half-Time players are available to play, yet exceed the max # limit setting for Half-Time game roster spots, then allow the Manager ability to override this pre-set limit since all Full-Time players has been accounted for (in this example, they cannot play), then the Manager can fill in with available Half-Time players Of course the existing overall max # limit of players for a game roster still holds top priority and is the master limit This flexibility is something I have always wanted in Benchapp and none more so than this past season as I have 10 Half Time players on my higher div team and 11 Half-Time players on lower div team. Actually, it is with my lower div team where I was not able to find another Half-Time player to share with one of my Half-Time players, which is why I would like to see the option to not force a link between 2 Half-Time players to designate each player as Half-Time status. I hope the above makes sense and I was able to present my thought process across. Thanks!

Allow the option to only auto-invite spares to replace a certain player position. If we are short a defenceman , only send spare invites on the Waitlist to designated D men etc.

as a coed team we have to have certain amount of girls vs boys to the games it would be nice to be able to track this as people confirm they can play

Show a count of guys and girls for coed baseball league similar to how you show skaters and goalies in hockey
