  1. Append calendar events with synced calendars to include status

    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

  2. Subscribing to Apple Calender doesn’t work anymore

    when I try to add my teams schedule to Apple calender, it says “insecure connection” “validation failed” and won’t let me subscribe. I’ve tried webcal, ics, iOS. This used to work fine but hasn’t in weeks. Example of calender link that doesn’t work for me: https://ics.benchapp.com/eyJwbGF5ZXJJZCI6MTE3NjcwNCwidGVhbUlkIjpbMTQwNDY1MV19 iPhone 17 Pro iOS 26.4.2

  3. Allow player payment through no-fee software like Venmo, PayPal, or Zelle.

    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.

  6. "Are you sure you want to checkout?"

    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.)

  7. The handedness has gone from visibility in the lines selection.

    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?

  8. Pencil in subs that aren’t on the roster or sub list

    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.

  9. Schedule sync time zone issues

    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

  10. Possibility to come with additional players

    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).

  12. Other Sport: Sailing

    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

  13. Hockey Spares

    Be able to set how many players I need per game and invite all spares at once. The first to accept gets the spot. Also maybe be able to set how many forwards and defence I need and then invite spares and the first to accept based on the position they are gets to play.

  14. Hide wait list players

    Sometimes i'd like to take wait-list players out of order, as they'd be a better fit for the game. But, I don't want to cause any drama. So, would like an option to hide the wait-list from everybody but the managers

  15. Multiple answers for polls

    It's frustrating that people can only pick one option for a poll and that people can't change their answers on polls
