GameChanger 4+

Does not differentiate between a defensive player and their Designated Hitter if they have one!

If a player is starting in the field but has a DH (Designated Hitter) batting for them the DH also shows up in the field on defense. I’m assuming this maybe has something to do with the batting lineup being entered and the DH being the one that is listed on it? I am a parent who unfortunately lives in another state so I am still a huge fan and extremely grateful this app exists and that her J.V. High School team uses it! I did pay for Premium Subscription, so far they’ve only played one game and nothing else has stuck out to me that needs to be modified yet. My Daughter started in left field and played there all 7 innings but she did have a DH batting for her and this players name (the DH) was shown in Left Field the entire game. The DH did draw a walk last at bat and my daughter did pinch run for her and that switch was made but an app correction to differentiate between defensive player and DH when this occurs would be awesome! Very happy with this app other than that and so grateful I can listen to play by play as I cannot be present 85% of the season!

I changed my mind after using Premier

UPDATE: I had an opportunity to use a premium account this weekend. EVERY frustration that I expressed in my initial review are addressed. I was able to enjoy the games (including breaks). I was able to replay and make videos of my grandson’s AB’s and plays in the field, review statistics, etc. All as advertised. I was thoroughly impressed and highly recommend the premium accounts, whichever one meets your needs.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I tried to use the basic free app to follow my grandson’s baseball. Unfortunately, if you do not pay 100% attention to the app you are out of luck!! I love my grandson, but I am unable to watch the app 100% of the time. I missed his AB’s and am out of luck. No audio, no play by play to catch up, no box score, no game recap. If the game doesn’t fit your schedule or if you need to go to the bathroom or fix something to eat or answer the phone…you are out of luck. I live on social security and in today’s world I am unable to pay for upgrades. I will forgo the frustration. Too bad there isn’t a reasonable price for seniors on limited incomes.

Developer Response ,

Hey Fog627, please email me at jamie@gc.com so I can find the best account setup for you and you can more easily enjoy your grandson's games. I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to help.

Love the app for the most part.

The app is great for the most part my biggest issue is with the search features. The classic app would allow me to search by state or country if I was unsure exactly what town had been used to register a team unfortunately now I have to search by each town even if they are very close together. The second issue is the search will return a lot of results when I use multiple words. For instance I use a league name with the words All Star even if I put quotation marks around it I get a couple thousand results even when limited to the current season. The search will also return all teams with word all or star in them there is no way to limit the search to an exact match.

Location is also weird in that fact that some location searches will only return those results from those cities while other would return from multiple cities. You would think it would be the big cities returning multiple and the small just those locations instead I search for Phoenix I will only get teams with a location of Phoenix. If I search for Mesa however, I get Mesa, Gilbert, or Chandler.

The search is also weird in the fact that if I have a word in the title that happens to be a place name I will also get all the teams associated with that location if I don’t put a limit on the location.

I’m hoping for a clean up of the search function especially with most teams switching over to the team manager app
