Feature Ideas

Allow a team manager to customize the time that the RSVP emails and SMS are sent.

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

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

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 the manager to assign colors to home and away jerseys, and then display those colors on the games.

Allow managers to send polls via text message.

Allow the manager to set a minimum number of roster players before sending spare invites.

Currently, Spares can join the waitlist before they are invited. The auto-waitlist feature only works if the team is at capacity and someone drops. I would like spares who joined the waitlist to be "auto accepted" once we reach the automatic spare invite setting date. The way it works now, I'll have a spare say they are available 6 days before the game, that places them on the waitlist. Then invites go out 5 days before, and it's first come first click so that spare who checked in early is "skipped". I have to send out a "how BenchApp works" email multiple times each season to the people on the spare list explaining that checking in early is pointless. So then I have players asking if we can change the time of the auto-invite because people who are on their phone at that time get preferential treatment.

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 play on multiple teams and also spare for some other teams but I don't want to see games I'm not invited to as a spare on the calendar as it clutters up my calendar and also makes it difficult to see my actual schedule. This used to be the default way that it was shown on the calendar but with the recent update, now I see all teams including ones I'm not invited to as a spare.

Have the option to only synchronize games that you are attending to your calendar

Add a new person to a chatter group after the group has been formed.

We have 20 roster players and 2 goalies who sign in or out weekly for our scrimmage hockey games. Interested spares join a WAITLIST. I want to automate and extend invites to WAITLIST players only not the entire spare player list the day before the game to fill vacancies, ensuring a full roster of 20+2 without manually inviting each player. This guarantees fairness in participation opportunities each week and avoid inviting our extended spare list.
