GameDay Reviews
Pros
I have enjoyed using it. After the initial set-up it is a good app to have and use.
As a sporting organisation i like the ability to setup events within gameday. It allows members to register for events during the year.
It's a terrific system that only needs some minor tweaks to perfect.
Good to positive, I now enjoy using it and use with ease after leanring the ropes.
Cons
A few parents have had trouble with the registration process.
Reporting feature is painful to use. Registration process doesn't capture mandatory data resulting in inconsistent records.
The addition of products/fees to events is difficult and i have been informed that a particular product that our members pay for can't be added to the event platform which is what we use.
Does not work well with Firefox. The website editor is impenetrable & difficult to learn or manage.
"It allows us to get information to our players"
Overall: Its ben great to get the info out there. it is deteriorating & we will be looking at what else is out there
Pros: Easy to access for anybody with a smartphone. We are a bowling club, with most users above the age of 60. Players get a push notification whenever there is news.
Cons: Ads are crippling the app & ruining it fro our players. Most are not computer literate, but can use a phone. The ads have become more invasive recently, taking over the screen for a certain amount of time. Previously they were there but were static, & did not take control of your phone
"GameDay for a football club"
Overall: Overall GameDay is good software and does fit with what we do. We do under utilise the product as we don't use the Website nor communication modules available.
Pros: Overall the product is easy to use and functionality is good. You are able to maintain your registrations easily and produce team sheets for each game without many issues
Cons: This product is good and can produce all sorts of reports and data which can be useful. The ease of accessing this data is a bit clunky and could be improved.
"Overly complex sledgehammer to tap in a nail"
Overall: It's a love hate relationship. It runs our basketball competitions and registrations, but it's so time intensive and difficult to make it work, just to get it to do the simplest things, I'm certain we'd be better off with a paper system.
Pros: It has good bones if only everything would work successfully or easily the first time.
Cons: This platform is so flakey, so unreliable, so problematic for administrators and users that it's virtually unusable. You virtually need a degree to run the back end correctly, and small clubs like ours run only by volunteers tear their hair out with how complex and time consuming it is to do the simplest things. I can see where the intention is good, but this program is like an initial good idea from 15yrs ago that has grown like spaghetti since and now is a pretty big mess. For a huge organisation with 3 full time paid staff who have learned from hard experience how to make it work, yeah I can see its a good tool. But for volunteer clubs where new people have to learn it year in and year out, it's a nightmare. We can't trust it, most can't use it for basic functions. Only true experts can figure out how to setup a season. The team and player functionality is rubbish. This platform is ok when you're an expert, but unworkable if you're a layperson.
"Lots of quirks, like any platform"
Pros: The financial reporting side of GameDay is straightforward to report from, easily reconciling to our bank account. Extracting data to use in other software (excel reports that run macros) is straightforward. Unlike many databases, we can pretty much drag as much information from this database as we like. I really like the communications option - makes it easy to shoot an email to the team when forfeits need to be notified. Flexibility of data fields (customisable)
Cons: The sms / text aspect of comms is impenetrable. Lots of data fields, not all accessible through the advanced search - specifically, including parents in information mailouts then receiving requests to remove email addresses: cannot find them (as they are 2ndary email addresses) Does not work well with Firefox The website editor is impenetrable & difficult to learn or manage We tried to work with GameDay for APIs/LED screen scoreboard but they were very cagey about working with 3rd parties (that was in 2013) (note that we have used this software for years as a "super user" and have adopted all the workarounds, so many issues that would be difficult for newer users we are used to working around)
"SDFA draw creation"
Overall: ok
Pros: Easy of use.
Cons: NO contact from support after phone call yesterday
