Stack Team App

Vorteile

It offers the best platform to communicate with team members or groups and share information in real-time. It is easy to use and interactive at the same time

Nachteile

New members are not easily found. Secondly, for the free version ads keep popping up, which renders the app slow and sometimes the user might need to restart the app

Vorteile

It is an exceptional application to pass on among the teammates or Groups. It is a direct UI that simplifies it to use.

Nachteile

Honestly, I can't consider a lot of I could do without Team App.

Vorteile

Not too much. It is easy to access, but that is about it. It does show well, and is catchy to the eye.

Nachteile

It is an app that was recommended, but it seems like too many things went wrong. The overall functionality of it has too many blurps and it does not seem secure.

Vorteile

Easy to use, interface simplicity, details where necessary. The ability to do push notifications to users also allows prompt responses, especially in the case of last minute updates in a sports team scenario.

Nachteile

I can only think of the process of loading of the application. Between screens and when selecting which section of the app you are using. However, in comparison to others, they are probably still the fastest.

Vorteile

very easy to use and intuitive from an admin perspective; generally easy to adapt to for a typical user/club member

Nachteile

my only con is that I can't push content to my social media links when I publish events and news items

Vorteile

This software is amazing if you want to keep communicated with your different teams in your own personal life. Also is useful for team works, but in my case I rather use Team app for my personal organization.

Nachteile

The app is a little bit hard to get use to. Once you get it, you can play with the different tools the software offers. Despite this, I have nothing negative to say about the app.

Vorteile

Great functionality to make it easy to engage and communicate with the users i am associated with. The app also has the capacity to customise for the varied uses I have needed with the organisations I manage and engage with.

Nachteile

There is not much that I do not like about using and engaging with Team App. I have and will continue to advocate Team app for not only Sporting teams but any organisation that needs to deal with teams of people.

Vorteile

Teamapp is easy to use and simple enough to set up. It’s a great way to instantly connect with my dance team for events.

Nachteile

The ads have gotten very annoying as of late.

Vorteile

The customer friendly staff explaining the operation of all aspects with Team App made it easy to move some of our communication to our sponsors and supporters

Nachteile

Nothing , wish we had done this earlier. As a club it is definitely something we should of got onto at the start of the season

Vorteile

The posibility to communicate with people in your group and also to communicate with people from other groups. The software is really easy to use and to understand so it is easy to plan and organize a team. It is also possible to customize the app for it to look just the way you want to which is great cause you can make the app look very professional. The software also allows last minute cancelations.

Nachteile

It is complicated to add a new member to the group and it has too many ads which makes the app slow sometimes.

Vorteile

As a volunteer run organisation, our Australian Rules Football Club (The Unley Football Club) has similar challenges as other such enterprises when it come to available human resource. There is no IT department, no PR guy and no advertising division to promote our brand and communicate with members.
As the sole "Communications Officer" I lead a team on one - me.
Prior to team app, I had to maintain a website, and, in trying to keep up to date with mobile technology, developed a smartphone app using another platform. Due to design limitations there was limited uptake, so after trialing for one season the app was ditched.
But almost on cue, Team App appeared on the market. And at once the benefits were obvious.
- The web platform and admin interface were easy to set up.
- Content on the web platform automatically sync's with the app.
- Push notifications allow events and news to be communicated in real time or scheduled.
- Customization of content available via the app
- Personalized design options
- Purchase of the ad banners to promote own sponsors.
The latter one is a fabulous way to take control of the app's advertising banners. The fee is very reasonable, and we promote the option as a way to encourage higher level sponsorship, our larger contributors getting the additional coverage.
The website also allows for "Custom Pages" which can allow for the creation of additional content as you'd find in any website.
It's simplified the communications role enormously.

Nachteile

Whilst the App is overall a boon, the app interface has space for 12 active buttons to access the information relevant to what you want. Some of these are automatically linked to web content such as news and events, and some to external links etc. Content that you want to make accessible to website visitors needs to be reflected in an active button on the app, other than the custom pages.
It simply means if you want to have certain content accessible via the website, you tie up a button you might otherwise have used for one of the other exciting features (such as the gallery, the chat rooms etc).
In essence, the degree of customization available is good, but not extensive, which requires a little bit prioritization of what you want available.
There are some fantastic features available which would be great to activate, but the button limit gets in the way. Additionally, some of the optional features would be a bit time consuming to fully capitalize on, eg, player profiles can't be added to or edited by the players themselves.
Despite these issues, the app is a great tool, and the support available can help you get over most issues satisfactorily.

Vorteile

It allows you to make edits on documents and discuss the changes real time

Nachteile

It’s not the easiest to search for conversations previously had

Vorteile

Team App is easy to use and solves the basic problem of communicating with a small group of people.

Nachteile

Adding pics to a posting is tedious and not very user friendly. Also, a search function for postings and documents would be a big help. Finally, a way to file posting and docs would be useful.

Vorteile

I have worked with Team App over the last 2.5 years as a Media and Marketing Manager with AFL Goldfields (major football netball hub) and as a club volunteer.
Representative and the team have created something spectacular that is very user friendly and targets our club and league members immediately and efficiently.
I use Team App two to three times a day on average as a club volunteer to make sure our club members are up to date. I have since moved away from the area where my club has based but find it a remarkable resource to be engaged with all of the club's facilities.
I have recommended this software to other businesses and find it the best way to be in touch with our community.

Nachteile

I cannot fault anything with this software.

Vorteile

Team App is really easy to use and intuitive. Even for the least tech savvy it can be very helpful. With modern teenagers glued to phones, it becomes essential for managing your team!

Nachteile

Team App means your players, coaches, parents, have direct access to you all the time. You will be bugged relentlessly! This isn't a limitation of the app, but a warning to you while using it to turn off notifications for periods and live your life!

Vorteile

I love the messaging feature to separate personal emails and messaging. Great features for keeping only members you allow to see news postings, schedules, photos, standings, social media, profiles and more all in one place. Can place more than one team here as well.

Nachteile

Not much. It is very easy to activate and great user interface. Advertising is annoying but necessary to make this affordable.

Vorteile

Team app has allowed us to have a mechanism to communicate quickly with players and parents, without the risks with some other social media platforms.

Nachteile

It doesn't have provision to use rich text formatting in NEWS items and image inserts, but given it's a free tool, I can't complain. Customer Support at Team App has been very helpful and supportive, which I very much appreciate.

Vorteile

its easy to use, has great features and has transformed the team communication and management

Nachteile

I am not sure there are any. They have thought of everything

Vorteile

Customisability
Customer service
Ease of use

Nachteile

Still has some basic/obvious functionality yet to be rolled out

Vorteile

The training schedules, ability to set groups/teams set training reminders, contact attendees for a change of location/time. I also use the events and the ticketed events to collect information, payments, allocate tickets to functions etc. Its great on the mobile phone and allows the participants to choose what notifications they want to receive the user is in control. Love this product great for sporting teams.

Nachteile

Its a great product however I do feel that the reporting from the back end could be better - particularly for ticketed events an excel spreadsheet would be good.

Vorteile

Easy to access. Step by step instructions when setting up your own Team App. Easy to link all social media, documents and other important team information. Various ways to share you team link so parents can join. I love that you can set a remind that will go out to parents regarding game days, things that need to taken care of all from the calendar section.

Nachteile

I have not come across anything that has giving me issues.

Vorteile

We are now into our second season using Team App with 270+ athletes and families, 45+ coaches, plus our own staff this App has been outstanding for linking resources, communication, documents, training schedules, and controlling advertising. This is a low cost and efficient solution for us.

Nachteile

There are no real problems, we would like the option of setting up 'subscriptions' for monthly payments and direct debits.

Vorteile

This app and the team behind it are superb. You will receive swift, friendly and positive support whenever you need it, plus advice and tips on how to better your app for further growth.
The app is extremely easy to use and continues to improve (even though you think it couldn't improve any more) with new ideas, new analytic services etc.
This platform has been an excellent method of effectively reach out target audience, creating an exclusive club community that has helped build rapport and reliability.

Nachteile

It's so flexible and malleable that it can be perhaps overwhelming.

Vorteile

I've used TeamApp for several groups, including my son's band, boy scouts, track team, and others. It's super easy to get your team setup and super easy for parents and others to use.

Nachteile

The ads can definitely get annoying, I wish there were some options to get rid of those. Otherwise, great.

Vorteile

Thats its FREE and has really improved our club communication. Have also used the app to manage our match/training schedules, manage membership and merchandise payments also.

Nachteile

That we didn't hear about this 2 years ago! We had used another product which was ok but then they started charging for features and published videos which took over the app and could only be removed if you paid more.

Vorteile

The idea of receiving instant communications about a sport is a good idea... but a simple email or text is still easier than this app.

Nachteile

The interface is confusing. I have a college degree and it is still very difficult to navigate. Not simple or intuitive at all. I would hate to see grandparents try to use this for their grand kids. I have worked in the digital Help Center industry for over 20 years and I can tell you EXACTLY what happens during the Stack Team Apps R&D sessions.... Their IT team programs the app, with all the logic and code that they know, then release it expecting normal people to proceed with equal logic. They may test it with their employees. Perhaps a "brake it" session. But when they have a difficulty, the IT guy looking over their shoulder explains their error. I GUARANTEE they never bring in a normal parent or administrator and say "go", and watch them setup and operate this app successfully without assistance.

Vorteile

I like that this app works with Sports connect. The integration sends parents an invite to the app and they can see the game schedules on the app. This makes it so parent wont have to constantly ask when the game is or ask for a physical copy.

Nachteile

There are no cons about this app. I like using this app for my flag football league.

Vorteile

very easy to use app. Very easy to post and connect people.

Nachteile

Needs no improvement. Continue the app. very good

Vorteile

I don’t like it at all, it drives me crazy

Nachteile

The ads they have go for an extended period of time and seem to come up every time you select a post. It renders the app unusable for me as I don't have the time to play click and wait. I want to keep up to date with club news but it has the opposite result. I have asked club administrators about a paid version to get rid of the ads but the website doesn’t have any information about whether this is an option. The overallI design is 15 years behind the times and has no visual appeal. User experience and design is clearly not a focus

Vorteile

RSVP’s are handy. And nice to have chats with schedules.

Nachteile

Would be nice to do a schedule that can be uploaded with multiple teams for a league. Or if stack can make a schedule based on teams and days played.

Vorteile

The communication aspect is important to me so I can set my schedule and make sure we don’t miss practice or games

Nachteile

It was confusing getting set up but after that it was fine

Vorteile

Great for bringing people together for events, volunteer rosters make things easier in one place, like being able to link key information for our club.

Nachteile

Unstable. Particularly around chats / chat groups. Chat groups lose data, seem unreliable, and sometimes the chat within events isn't visible. It would be good to see more investment into the reliability of the app and platform.

Vorteile

Able to see all of the games in one screen

Nachteile

The ads take up the entire screen so it is sometimes difficult to view the calendar

Vorteile

It has good organization. It allows me to find help in my club.

Nachteile

I'm not notified by the app when someone chats. This could be because I use browser instead of phone, but you could at least use email.

Vorteile

Creating group that ever changes for all to be on same platform and make creative changes as required
Much faster and easier than ever before

Nachteile

As of know I have nothing to compare or say negative

Vorteile

great free app to communicate with our team

Nachteile

would love to be able to set multiple reminders for the same event

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Stack Team App

Vorteile

My favorite part is the calendar, that keeps everything that I need to know about Girl Scout events so my daughter doesn’t miss anything, and the news is where we communicate with the leaders and other parents is practical as should be

Nachteile

I don’t have any complaints about the app until now, and I’ve been using for almost an year

Vorteile

1 - a great tool for simple and quick communication2 - data can be exported3 - real time updates to members4 - easy for members to see planned events and confirm attendance5 -

Nachteile

As a very experienced user of IT who loves data/ analysis and formatting/ branding the the tool is extremely limited. 1 - it lacks drag and drop features particularly in registration function2 - cannot create specific reports on user behaviour/ interactions3 - lacks useful configurable standard reports (e.g. who is not using/ accessing it)4 - members seem to get locked out of their accounts frequently5 - csv exports seem to be limited to 47 rows 6 - lacks the ability to hide user responses to group questions (e.g. if a form includes personal questions all group members can see the answers); for example, I asked members "specify the address that you would like your tickets to be sent" - everyone could see each others address)

Vorteile

Allows all sources of information to be accessed under one easy to use app
A great repository for club information and reports
Good help section for uses and admins including video clips

Nachteile

The costs for add on facilities are a bit expensive for the benefit gained

Vorteile

First, the product is VERY easy to set up. You can start with a very basic team app and grow it as need and time permits. The best parts is users love it, from players, to parents, to coaches. User adoption is king. Finally, you can customize it to the point it looks like a very professional app that is tailored to your needs.

Nachteile

No kidding, I can't think of anything I don't like about the software. I could complain about the ad model, but the app is free, and for the richness of features an can put up with the ads. Further more, if I want to pay up I can turn them off or use them as a fundraising source. Usually customer service is an issue with these types of "free" apps, but the TeamApp folks are awesome,

Vorteile

- encapsulates every platform in one: newsletters, social media, websites, uniform stores, calendars etc.
- really user friendly
- simple to use all features
- can tailor it for what your own specific organisation needs

Nachteile

- exporting uniform payments: i think the excel spreadsheet that is exported from stores can be simplified. In the spreadsheet it shows each individual item purchased as one row each, i believe it would make it a lot easier if it had one row per person and in an individual cell have each item they purchased.
- attendance feature of an event: we have 9 coaches who are restricted admin, and at the end of training each coach gets kids to come and tick off their name. However, Team App only saves the attended umpires as the ones who were ticked off by the LAST coach to click save. Furthermore the the 8 coach's lists of names they ticked off are scratched and it appears that those umpires did not attend the event.
- news items style: it would be great if you had a feature when doing news posts, or events in the description of events etc that you can be able to: bold, italics and underline the text you are writing to emphasize certain points. Also if you could put hyperlinks into the texts too.
- chat room: when scrolling up to load older comments it scrolls back to the most recent messages.
- member contact: when opening up the member profile and clicking their mobile number there is no option to copy their number (to text) it only lets you call directly

Vorteile

The 2 things we like best are the ability to get a message ourout to entire club quickly and with ease, without it becoming just another email message, and secondly, the ability to apply players fees and merchandise costs direct to them and have reminders sent without the usual legwork. Has saved so much time and stress!

Nachteile

Inability to add stock levels to merchandise or break into sizing with stock levels. I love the store in general but it's very basic at this point.

Vorteile

There are many things I like about this software:
- website version plus iPhone / Android apps
- simple for users but powerful for website / membership administrators
- vertical integration between Clubs and parent / national associations
- Clubs / organisations can use the advertising module to generate revenue
- powerful events registration functionality
- Team Register / Lists
- News functionality
- ability to feature one or more: news items and events
- annual subs billing through Stripe - much more reliable / user friendly than PayPal
- event charging through Stripe
- integration of maps with locations
- push notifications
- opt in/out of member directory
- ability to restrict content access to specific member groups, and
- great email/phone support

Nachteile

There are a few areas where Team App need to improve and they have already acknowledged these to me and included them in their development pathway:
- Need to add Member Directory in web version
- Need to link the Team Register / Lists with the membership database

Vorteile

* Provides free plan
* Alert notifications are suitable and enough
* It is good that it provides fast and reliable live chat
* Ease of communication
* You will be able to put detailed information for members and it is very easy and convenient for them to use .
* It is good to have all detailed information for a sport or club available in a single application.

Nachteile

* Customer support is not good enough. Customer support should be improved.
* It should be also possible to remove more than one documents. We are doing it one by one

Vorteile

This has got to be the best way to keep our parents and athletes informed and up to date on everything. We can send out notices to everyone and if one person has a question they can ask it and everyone can follow along. that way we're not getting a hundred texts or calls from all over the place.

Nachteile

It took a while to get everyone on board, technology and all, but for the most part it's moving along nicely.

Vorteile

Lots of features like putting members into separate groups and communicating with them separately or together. Shop and Payment processing, file sharing, links to external websites, scores, etc.

Nachteile

1. Club admin can manually enter player details into membership database (for attendance at training, etc) and assign parents/guardians, BUT then their parents can't edit/update the details! This is an unacceptable "bug" because it's logical that parents should be able to edit/update their own children's details.
2. The team selection feature is via a manual text entry box whereby you type players' names in and separate each by moving to another line? What? Why can't the team members be selected from the membership database where that player already exists?
3. App admins and access permissions - need to provide access to coaches and other admins better. At the moment, players need to be grouped eg: Under 10s, Under 11s, etc and for coaches to have access to a team list (for communication purposes or for taking attendance) they have to be a member of THAT group AND THEN granted "Restricted Admin" privileges to that group? WHAT??? WHY?? This seems like a band aid solution that results in the coach/manager being a part of the attendance list when they shouldn't need to be.

Vorteile

The ability to have a large number of people in the database and be able to send relevant information to different groups of people within the database.
I have a range of different groups within my database including Management, Coaches, Parents, Junior Golfers, Academy, Development and Representative Squads and other interested parties.
Team App allows me to separate all the groups and effectively communicate with an individual group, multiple groups or the entire database which ensures everyone receives information that is relevant to them.

Vorteile

We have used Team App for 3 seasons now @ Chatswood Junior Rugby. It has transformed the way we communicate in a two-way manner with our club members. The ability to have all the information - news, events, game draw etc. - available in a clean interface is brilliant.

Nachteile

The inability to 'mass' load a season draw for teams.
The alignment of the administration levels between team, age group and whole of club.
The ease of 'rolling forward' an age group from one year to the next

Vorteile

It has a great user interface that makes it easy to use. we can create one to many relationship by creating group and send messages to the team members easily and instantaneously. We can easily add members to the group. we can share Links , file sharing and external links. the app remains in sync with the Web version.we can easily add a push notification if we needed .

Nachteile

we need to register the Team with the membership database.
ads are the other dislike for this but its ok if we are on free version

Vorteile

It’s reallt easy to use, onboard people and provide updates. Our most used section would be events and then the news section to pass out information when needed. Live scores is always the best feature as everyone keeps up to date with what is going on.

Nachteile

Read receipts on news items is the only change I would do but I believe that this is changing soon so that would be great.
