Feature Ideas

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.

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

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.

There was definitely a huge improvement with the new scorekeeper updates in terms of some of the old bugs, but now there are new bugs that make it impossible to use. For starters, on the iPad when you go to scorekeeper you are stuck in that screen unless you completely close the app and go back in. There is an arrow at the top left of the screen, but the button doesn't work. There is no issue on the desktop version with this. Once you start trying to score the game there are a couple issues. If you are using the clock function and have it started it won't let you add a goal until you go stop the clock. You can hit the 'goal' button, but when you try to click on a player it doesn't work. Next, when you do stop the clock and hit the goal button it will let you add the goal and assists, but then it errors out at the end and gets stuck on a white screen that says "Failed to update shots. Please try again." in red letters. There is no way to exit from this screen except to close the app and go back in. I don't have this issue on the desktop version. These issues make it not worth using since you get stuck on the error screen and have to restart.

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).

Can you add a feature in that chat that can lock out/allow certain users to post. We have a "official chat" that we announce to that we would not like replying too .

On mobile click submit feedback, and get taken to the feedback page, then click Login with Bench App on the feedback page and it redirects back to the app but then keeps looping and feedback page doesn't open and app keeps reloadin constantly.

I have people on my waitlist weeks in advance and when it comes time to invite spares it does not just accept the people currently on the waitlist even though I have the accept from top of the waitlist setting set. people are able to get spots when the invites are sent out before the waitlist people are accepted.

There is no ability to upload .csv files to update player stats. We use another tool to keep the book for our baseball team, this tool produces an export file but within BenchApp the "Upload" option is only for player invitations via a data source.

Need to include a way to invite team members without using microsoft outlook. A copy and paste function with the code or gmail link, etc.

I cannot figure out how to delete a person from a group chat.

Please allow deletion of group chatters. Currently you can only archive it, which does not stop people for still using that chatter. The team managers should be able to delete a group chatter.

Hi There, Somehow in a recent update the ability to invite people to the roster by email invite has been lost. Please bring it back!
