MaxPreps: High School Sports Customer Service

MaxPreps: High School Sports Positive Reviews

Consistency is the TicketI enjoy reading the reviews of games in the spot light as well as those teams that may have lots of grass growing in the path on the way to find them ! I have found MaxPreps to be accurate and only take the word of trusted on spot reviewing for their reports ! It’s nice knowing that people will get an honest review of beach game on the Texas Trail to cover the Greatest Football on the planet which includes the overrated California Prep Schools which are built at the expense of others that may have produced talent to better their teams, but before you know it they are playing for the top schools in California ! Private Church affiliated schools in Texas do it to some extent, but I see many schools giving opportunity to more student talent than the California schools . Just my opinion, but if I need some enlightening as to the ways of California gluttony in many practices , I am surely willing to change a view if presented in a professional , believable way with facts to back it up ! Facts are sorely missing in our country today to back up a stated position, but reporters report them as truth anyway with no repercussions for their actions !.Panther60Version: 5.1.3

Great appreciation for the service you provideI’m a life long follower of the Livonia Bulldog football program and a huge fan of the group of men who lead them. I’ve always been ready and willing to give back to the program that gave me so much. Unfortunately the last couple of years my son had decided that he would have to give it up to pursue his travel hockey goals. This is fine with me but unfortunately I’m not able to see many games in person anymore and I don’t have the time to volunteer either. The upside is that because of max preps I am able to follow my coaches and team from wherever our hockey schedule takes us. Cleveland for the opener, Buffalo last week, Canada this week, and Detroit the next. Thanks so much for your service and for the people that take the time to update throughout the game! My dogs are wherever I am and I am very grateful. Joshua Martucio.JM53 three time champsVersion: 5.0.9

I like this app a lot, but the commercials are out of control.I use this app a lot to check my high schools stats and when thier games are so I can go watch them, homewever sometimes I like to watch the highlights of games or of player film. But the problem with this is how there are so many ads it is impossible to watch it without getting annoyed. I know that you need to be able to have ads on your app for revenue since the app is free, but please tone down on the commercials. I was trying to look at an upcoming match, and I could barely see any of the information because I was getting ads about ATT and other phone commercials. It is just very frustrating to use the app when this happens every time you use the app you end up just seeing ads for things that have no importance on a high school sports app. Sorry for the speed, and other than that, this app is great and keep up the good work MaxPreps..JackMac13Version: 6.3.6

Perfect tracker of high school sportsJust found this yesterday in App Store. Our high school girls and boys basketball had games last night, and minutes after games ended, scores were posted. Am following other schools and scores posted immediately. Have and still using ScoreStream and mhsaa app, but max prep beats both hands down. Today, it even posted rankings locally, statewide, and national.. That said, hope max prep covers track and field, golf, and competitive cheer. My niece is doing competitive cheer as a varsity hs sport, but not many site apps cover it. Also, local paper comes out weekly, and majority of sports coverage is basketball, football, volleyball, and soccer. Update. Just received a response from developer. Thanks for the feedback and looking forward to future upgrades to app.EepisskiVersion: 4.7.3

App is cool, but has some negativesI love that we can keep up to date with highschool football rankings. It’s really cool being able to see all this stuff. The biggest thing that bothers me are the Rankings are really skewed. They keep certain schools ranked at the top regardless if they lose or not. It’s a bit of favoritism. Let’s look at American Heritage is some how ranked at 32 in the country but treasure coast Titans are ranked at 52. Treasure coast beat AH by 8 points but had a tough away game against cocoa beach with a few injuries and lost by a point for the first of the season. Now American heritage isn’t a bad football team they have a tough schedule. In an easier schedule they’d probably be undefeated. All I’m saying is if they pretty much got dominated for most of the game by treasure coast there’s no way they should be ranked over them. It wasn’t a 1 time thing. Treasure coast is an elite team. Put some Respect on them..XyjellynellyVersion: 5.4.9

Great for CoachesAs a high school volleyball coach, I depend on MaxPreps to keep up with our competitors. We are a rural team and no single newspaper covers all teams in our conference or region. Also we encourage other coaches in our conference/region to maintain their team stats on MaxPreps. Yes this helps in scouting, but it’s more important at the All Conference, All Region, and All State selection meetings because the player has a history and coaches don’t get questioned about stats being made up. My only frustration is that it runs as an iPhone app on my iPad, which I mostly use in landscape not portrait mode. The iPad app should be responsive to the screen size and orientation..Coach StuartVersion: 4.9.4

Great app, but could be MUCH better, nothing else availableMaxpreps is a good app for high school sports information, or at least it is for basketball and football, but it’s depth of stats and reporting on games is very limited. I realize that they are probably at the mercy of unpaid score reporters, but why not hold these reporters to a higher standard and require them to give you the scores in each quarter or just don’t report for Maxpreps anymore. It’s frustrating to see all of these categories that have zero information when I click on the link. I do appreciate all of the final scores that get listed and the historical information available, like season game scores, but there’s loads of room for improvement. Thank you for what you do!.Fjoyce1959Version: 5.5.1

More commercials than a Super Bowl halftime showIt’s a good app if you just want to track your school, look up stats, schedules, rosters, etc. But if you want watch game film, just know that you’ll have a better time sticking your boys into a meat grinder. First off, most of the player’s film is broken down into small segments (some of which are only 15 seconds long). Which would normally not be a big deal, except for the fact that you’re forced to watch a 45 second commercial before the start of EACH clip. I’m not a math man, but according to those calcs, you have watch 3 minutes of ATT commercials for every 1 minute of game film. I understand this is a free service and you need to advertise for revenue, but that ad to film ratio is out of control..SomeonestoleMyPoopFeast420Version: 5.5.1

SuggestionsI just now made an account & I’m disappointed that there’s a 16 team minimum. I personally like to follow the surrounding counties for football season & I need more than 16. Also, you’re missing a couple of Texas teams. Not sure how to suggest them, but they’re missing. Would be nice if you could make a way to follow the whole school if you’re interested as well as just select sports like you already have. I would love to follow my hometown school for everything & surrounding schools for football only but it’s not an option. If you’d find a way to change these things, I think it would be ***** from after I see tonight if the push notifications work for the playoff games..SeTx71Version: 6.3.2

“Heart” Cannot Be RankedMaxPreps does a fantastic job cataloging teams throughout the country. Every now and then, teams will upset a higher ranked team. Upsets make football or any other athletic contest interesting. I suppose that analytics, statistics, individual player performances, returning players and school traditions go into the ranking. It would be nice to know exactly what goes into the numbers. There have been changes in ranking whether a team has won or lost. Most likely by outcomes of common opponents or other mitigating circumstances. Overall, as a score keeper, I cherish being involved in my teams ranking. Go #MaxPrep!!.LemijworksVersion: 4.8.3

Fantastic App when it lets me report scoresI absolutely love this app. It gives me standings, scores, playoff brackets, and everything I need for high school football and basketball. However, only recently, as in the past 2 weeks, the app has not been entering the scores I report. I have entered over 250 scores over the past few years and am a verified scorer. Have had to enter them numerous times and even then sometimes they still don’t show up and I don’t get a confirmation email. Would love to know why this might be happening? If this gets fixed, the app would be perfect..FootballProstpect52Version: 6.3.0

Good app, but website is still betterI don’t understand? The website has much more stuff than the app? Wha? The website has things like all time seasons, all time rosters, more news than 5 articles and a video with an ad longer than the actual video. If those are there, please prove me wrong devs. And god, please give us the ability to make the screen black or at least grey instead of white. Other than those things, this is a great app. I appreciate all your hard work, I just wish it was a bit better on this app. Thank you for reading. Go Warwick Raiders..Ultimate_ ChampionVersion: 6.0.4

Missing score boardI love being able to watch my Grandson Joel Speckman Jr play varsity basketball for Chaparral High school in Parker, Colorado, but some of the games don’t have a scoreboard with the real time and score superimposed on the screen. It is very frustrating. I live in Arizona and he live in Colorado. Most of the games I have watched haven’t been close. They are 5 and 0 fit the season. I’m afraid there is going to be a close game and I won’t know the score or how much time is left. Other than that I love this app..PaPa SpeckVersion: 5.4.1

No way to correct your mistakesI tried to correct a score in the New Albany (Indiana) vs Bloomington South game. A Bloomington South fan turned in a score of 56-0 and you never even questioned it. I sent in a correction that was ignores. You also had NA losing to Floyd Central 3 times in December and you never corrected that. How likely is that? Your ranking of NA was affected the whole year. I pretty much gave up on reporting scores because your whole reporting system is flawed. How can you believe a 56-0 score with the wrong team winning..J Silver2Version: 4.9.6

Good but could be much betterI have been using the app for over a year and am an approved score reporter. I report mostly volleyball score an d find the process a little cumbersome. Whenever you report a score update, you have to re-enter all data, set number, how many sets eac team has won, etc. when you report the final set score, it should auto populate to the final score page, and the previously reported set number and sets won should be retained when you go to report an update score, rather than a blank form again. Otherwise, a very good and useful app..Soph's RepaVersion: 5.1.1

Locks up on location requestCouldn’t even set it up.... I’m old it’s probably not simple enough for me. Update: Every-time I loaded the app and selected log in - it asked about notification, location, and nothing. Nothing to swipe or touch on location. Had to delete the App to get off the screen(regardless of location settings). The last attempt I selected new setup and input my info. It gave me a message profile already existed and offered to log in- logged in and it worked flawlessly. Maxpreps did email and offer assistance..X08360Version: 5.4.0

Great to HaveThis is an awesome app since our local news is not so great at getting the information out when you can’t make the game. However, I have turned off the sounds & notifications. Leading up to game day it’s notification after notification after notification. I only follow three teams & it seems to be only one making all of the racket. So maybe it’s someone in that team’s organization..ScootlykinsVersion: 4.6.3

Great idea, poorly runOverall as a big high school sports fan it has been a very enjoyable app. There are a few issues though. When you click on a team roster and click on a single player if you hit the back arrow after you hit on the player it will bring you back to the teams home page. this can be a little frustrating at times. This app has tons of potential if updated.😀.StsdfffVersion: 5.5.1

Not very User FriendlyThis App has a lot of good information. However, this App is not user friendly at all. When I had issues, they did not have the decency to reply to my email inquiries. There is no communication when you run into challenges with the App. When the score was not reported for my son’s game, I clicked on “Report Score”. A new screen opened, but the App did not allow me to report the score..Football Fan 1775Version: 4.8.6

Awesome, until iOS16Use the app all the time to update stats and scores, as I am a coach. Love the design, the interface, everything. Ever since tbd iOS16 update, however, the app will not open. Every time I click it, the loading screen comes up, then it crashes. Has been like this for a few weeks now. Hoping some stability issues get figured out, because I love being able to update things on the fly!.DaddypuncherVersion: 6.0.6

ESKO varsity football teamI really enjoy your recaps. I am a proud mother/ grandmother and have close connections to this team. My son is their defensive coordinator. I have 3 grandson’s who play also on this team. Mason #30 (senior), Carter #12 Junior, Makoi #3 Sophomore. They’re top players on the team. Esko’s record is 9-0. And they’re now looking forward a playing in the playoffs. Keep up the great videos!!!.Dances with WolfVersion: 5.5.0

Previous app was much easierThe previous app for MaxPreps was a whole lot easier to use than this version. As a high school coach it’s a real pain with this version to get to the school that you were following to select rosters schedules find information it’s just a lot more clunky and cumbersome than the previous version..Cosch BVersion: 4.7.2

Close To PerfectionGreat, informational, and clean app. Problem is it’s not very user friendly, and finding information can be difficult at times. Also, if I am clicked on a team’s page, if I exit the app or even respond to a text, I am returned to the home screen and have to look the team up again, which is extremely irritating. Score reports are usually accurate, but inaccuracies can not be completely blamed on MaxPreps. If the simple issues get fixed, undeniable 5 stars..UnxForgivenVersion: 4.7.1

Good, but…App is just Ok! Too much extraneous “stuff” on the screens, could provide more sport pertinent details. Site says it updates stats and records two times a week… three or four times would be much more informative. You get an email notice that your team rankings have changed, but when you actually click on their link it still reflects W/L and stats from three days prior (???) even though you have adde match and stat details..SpikeheavenVersion: 6.0.6

Scoring issueGood app for the most part. Only issue I have is when you’re the scorer if you back out of where you can add an event during the game I’ve yet to figure out how to get back to where you can add an update. And there’s no way to stop being the scorer if this happens. Quite frustrating. Also if you add a comment during the game if it mentions the app in any way the algorithm won’t allow you to add the comment at all..M7O4Version: 5.4.9

ReviewOverall, it is pretty good. My one complaint is the fact that the “back” button is not reliable - sometimes it will actually take you back to the previous screen, but way more often than not, it takes you all the way back to the original search. Very frustrating when trying to track certain things..Username is taken 99Version: 5.4.4

Awesome app. Could be just a bit better for iPad users.Max Preps you guys have a great app that lets people follow along when I’m covering sporting events. The only suggestion I have is that when I’m using an iPad I like the sideways look much better as it goes with my case for the device. I wouldn’t mind if you created a different app just for iPad users. If you can update the app to allow for that I will rate it 5 stars easily..Not ProgressiveVersion: 4.8.6

Ranking teamsMale (the 2nd winningest team in the nation overall history) is on a 16 game winning streak and are unbeaten 10-0 this season. They were in the top 100 after they were 4-0. Then dropped back further every week since. They beat teams 50-0 with a mercy rule clock in the 2nd quarter. Then drop down even further. MaxPreps rewards teams from losing because of who they played. If you lose you drop back a lot. If you lose 2 you shouldn’t even be in the top 50. I don’t care who you play. It’s just silly to reward a losing team! Look at Male’s football rankings: USA Today #13 PrepNation #25 HSFB #46 Then MaxPreps ranks them at #155. I don’t get it. The rankings are very flawed..12:(Version: 5.1.3

SyncingThere needs to be a better way to sync with game changer. Game changer constantly changes with game schedules etc. it’s a pain to try to make updates when it makes one sync on a pre schedule and won’t adapt with updates from game changer schedules. It would be a huge improvement to have this ability..Heimer13*Version: 4.7.3

Would Pay to Remove AdsIt’s a decent app but I would absolutely pay to remove ads. They’re clogging up the app and showing up in the middle of the screen. I’d also like to be able to find the highlight recording feature easier on the app. It was there one minute, then it was gone. Lastly, whenever I try to share the link on social media from a highlight video it says the page is unavailable..SparrowMeMistieVersion: 5.3.2

Getting StartedThere’s a wealth of information to be gained at Max Preps and that makes it a useful coaching tool. But if you’re new to it, and not so savvy with technology, it’s a bit hard to get started. Were my wife not the principal/athletic director at our school, I might still be fumbling around with it. But it’s all good now. I’m still trying to upload our mascot (Hornets)to our page but the rest is done..Gideon 7Version: 4.9.4

Excellent source of high school sports informationI could not be more impressed with the amount of “reliable” sports info for high school sports. Take for instance, i received a score from my home basketball team 20 mins after it ended Mind you this game was an hour away and it just pops up on my phone! A great way to connect!.J Bow 4371Version: 4.9.5

Expand on how many teams you can followIt would be nice to follow more teams instead of removing teams I wish we could follow like 30 or 50 teams instead of the normal 20 please expand it the reason why I give it a 4 star is on the limit of teams you can follow if they update the limit follow for teams I’ll update my star rating.Thecoolguy201Version: 6.3.0

Grandma can’t see the scoresI am not sure exactly what this app is suppose to do. I thought I would be able to view game and keep up with the stats and scores of my grand daughter team, St Paul High School varsity softball in CA. The day of the game I get nothing, I do get alerts for game day, time, place and team they will be playing..Foxy KnockieVersion: 4.9.8

My reviewLast year MaxPreps was better it was up to date and not lacking on the scores, but this varsity football year it has been lacking for example, posting the wrong scores, not posting scores etc, but overall the app is great just need to be a tad but better..Mike_hamtnVersion: 5.5.0

Great appThis is my new favorite app. I am a stat geek and our coach enters the stats in after every game. I can compare my sons stats and get a feel for where he stands, and how all the other players on my sons team are doing. You can compare them in your division, your state or nationally. You can compare by position and grade. Great app!.CarlisamojoeVersion: 4.7.4

Easy to UseI follow grandchildren in 2 states and several sports. Max Preps sends me notifications of game results on my iPhone. I can see the individual stats of each child very easily and quickly!

MaxPreps: High School Sports Negative Reviews

Review of our local girls basketball game back homeAt times we can’t be at the games we have enjoyed Maxpreps in monitoring our grandkids games however there are times when we log on and maxpreps don’t show the updates and any scores even though we contact the coaches wife who is putting the scores in. She says “I enter the scores like normal and she doesn’t know why they don’t show up until maybe the next day” or well after we hear the results of the game from other sources. I would be interested in knowing why this is as we do enjoy how maxpreps use to follow each game..Nick5centsVersion: 4.9.5

Maybe I’m just unlucky.Downloaded the app and searched for one of my favorite high school football teams, and there were no results for my search. This is a fairly prominent team in the world of high school football, too. A team with a lot of history. Very odd that they weren’t on here. I figured that if they weren’t on the app, then the smaller schools that I like to keep track of wouldn’t be either. Deleted the app immediately. Had it for 5 minutes tops. Sort of useless to me personally but I’m sure other people can find what they need, and that’s great..2LilCatt5Version: 6.2.5

InconsistentThe App is slow and inconsistent. As a scorer several games would not let me send updates. I could get the app to let me resume scoring and posting updates … so I had to make posts in the general comments area. Also, I submitted my name to score the next couple of games for our team. I was removed twice and replaced with a Star Scorer for our team. He never showed up to the game and made no posts. Not sure how to fix that … but we had no scorer for those games. Wished it worked better - really do!! Steve Raemisch ~ Waunakee, WI.Run to WinVersion: 5.1.7

Love the MaxPreps website, disappointed with the app.The app always crashes, says it “can’t find the teams I have saved”, and doesn’t have all of the sports for the schools listed. The MaxPreps website is great but I am very disappointed with the app. Additionally, there is more information about the school rankings on the website than in the app. There is also a way to search for athletes and schools on the website, but the app only lets you search for schools. When it works, the app is great for scores; however I would recommend using the website for more in-depth stats and rankings..AGR1217Version: 4.7.3

Once-great phone has been destroyed by ads!!Just way, way, WAYYYYYYYY too many ads! It used to be one or maybe two things would pop up every once in a while, but they seem to have added several more layers of ads, and now it’s practically EVERY page or click! What’s even worse is they make the page content move around so that the ad jumps under your finger milliseconds before you try to tap what you actually want to see, and then you’re confronted with a full-page ad rather than what you wanted. What’s more, MaxPreps does its best to defeat all adblocking software. I know this app has to use sponsors, but don’t do it to the point it makes the app practically impossible to use or enjoy… I am one of the biggest high-school sports fans you’ll ever see, but I am forced to delete this mess and find my hs sports info elsewhere..Kiddman32Version: 6.3.2

Poor Quality for Sports High Quality for AdvertisersApp is horrible for coaches and athletes. In particular of you are not a big 3 sport (Baseball, Basketball, or Football). It’s clunky and doesn’t sync with the browser based version. There is no thought put into user experience. What DOES work well is how many ads they plaster the app with…and they are all junk ads, low value. But man do they Jam Pack a TON of content into a small space. Conclusion; this app is made for advertisers - not for sports teams. Avoid it. It’s not worth your time..MGCelloVersion: 6.1.7

Incorrect InformationAs a high school athlete, I like to keep track of my team and schools stats. My first scrimmage of the season was held just last week. I was shocked to see the score of a scrimmage on the app afterwards, when the score was not allowed to be kept. Along with this, the score was incorrect! This angers me because our stats are low when we have not even had our first game! I am very unhappy about this and am still trying to get this changed. DO NOT download this app unless you are looking for false scores and information..Haayy_laayyVersion: 4.9.6

Too many pop upsI get that you make money off of add revenue. But the constant pop ups even after the user has x’d out of them makes it impossible to effectively use the app. Maybe you should think about that in the next update. I can hardly surf the app or even see the info due to pop ups either constantly covering all or half the page. Edit: popups have become so obnoxious on the app. I’m done with it. Just gonna use the web version. Ridiculous..GRush7570Version: 6.3.3

Still bugsThe app isn't showing notifications on a locked during games whereas it has previously. We aren't getting updates during games and have to go into the app to get the updates, when they should be popping up on their own. Very disappointed in the app's performance so far this season. I relied on this app heavily last season but have started using another app this season which is more up-to-date and isn't having such delays. If this poor performance continues, I'll be deleting the app..Pineapple819Version: 4.6.3

Please FixScoreboards are constantly blank or showing the wrong score while games are going on. As a high school football fan and someone who likes to keep up with games this is very annoying. I am constantly attending games and keeping up with them on twitter so I have tried multiple times to sign in to update scoreboards but I am always taken to the same screen which says “Error”. If y’all can just fix this issue this would resolve a lot..YungBlickyBvVersion: 6.2.6

Utterly dissatisfiedI don’t know if you just don’t require the companies you contract with to meet professional standards or you don’t have any yourself - but at the very least, your subscribers should be able to expect accuracy on your site. You continuously post game recaps with inaccurate scores where you only include highlights of the losing team. As a parent of a St. Francis Football player who depends on your site to accurately reflect scores and highlights for colleges - I could not be more disappointed. Do better.St. Francis ParentVersion: 5.4.4

Okay for what it does.This app has good content but the navigation is pretty bad and needs to be improved. Some scores and stats can be off from time to time but I think the schools or verified fans are responsible for that not the developers themselves. The ads can be overwhelming and the UI is about 5 or 6 years behind modern apps. If there was another app with as many schools using them I would avoid this one..Big HeckemsVersion: 5.4.9

Out of BoundsI give this two stars for its potential. I love being able to select favorites based on your location, as well as the ability to group those schools’ scores and pages in one place. However, outside of that, it seems 50% of the pages I attempt to go to in the app are, as the app says, “out of bounds”. If this app worked smoothly, absolutely worth 5 stars, but there are way too many malfunctions for me at this point..None162Version: 5.1.1
