Unreliable. You never know if it has ended the game, reset or something stupid during the game. It is worthless. Stood on the field for several minutes on the field like an idiot.
Brilliant addition to any referee, at any level. Easy to use and flexible enough so you can use all or part of the apps functionality.
Love the app, once you figure it out it is great to use. This weekend I did a tournament and was very quickly up and running once I got to the fields. Created a quick template for the tournament rules and then duplicated my first game so i had enough games for the day. Then i just changed the shirt color for the teams right before the games. Now i have all my data and easy way to do the score sheets.
**May6 Update: Just ran three games using this product on my Samsung S3 Watch. Over all, worked good. Some things I would like to see fixed/added: * Allow for the 'Send to watch' button to work. So far, I haven't been able to get the matches back to the phone after it was completed. * When managing a 4 quarter game (kids), all the user to choose which team starts Q2/Q4 with the ball. * Add the ability for a widget to be added to the home screen for easier access to the app while on the field. lacks support for Samsung S3 Frontier. Been waiting for a long time for that support to come.
Have seen a review with a similar problem. Since the new version came out, syncing matches had become a real issue. My watch can say it is connected, can have Bluetooth and WiFi connection, and still won't sync because it tells me there's no connection. Current watch is a Ticwatch Pro 2020 UPDATE: Have found if I reconnect my watch in the android app on my phone every time I open it, that seems to resolve the synching issue. Frustrating though!!!
Ive given 5 stars, but I cannot use this app. I play in a flag football league and this app is incredible and everything works perfectly, I just wish there was an option for different sports, or to adjust the points given per goal which would immediately benefit so many kther sports. Otherwise if you're soccer exclusive this app is perfect.
It's a great app which makes Refereeing so much more simple. Easy to use and navigate. Highly recommended.
Great app so far! So much easier to transcribe results to my match report . I previously gave the app 4 stars because pictures of cards recorded on watch did not appear on phone when synced but do now appear since I upgraded to the pro version. I have the Garmin Venu Sq. Wish the timer font was a little bigger as I need reading glasses and wish when entering player numbers I could do so via a number keyboard and not have to scroll through the numbers.
A must for all referees. Time keeping scores cautions dismissals distance covered heat maps and much more. Brilliant app
Too many fickle aspects to the app to reply on it in a game where you need to submit a match report of all events and times. The main glitch in the latest version is that matches only upload to my phone calendar if I create them on my phone, despite using Google calendar. And matches I create on my laptop don't sync anywhere. I mostly use Refsix for its timing function (excellent, with all three times on the watch face, and automatic half time) and the heat maps.
Its great for what I needed it for. I would most certianly reccommend the Pro version. However I only wish it had two options; 1st. Allow you to stop the clock not just add stoppage. It would be great for college matches. 2nd I wish you could add Match Critical Incidents like warnings to players or players leaving for injuries.
When I took up refereeing I explored a few options for games and I have to say RefSix is leagues above all the rest. Easy to use, GPX files are downloadable and it helps me not need to do maths for how long left etc. I still write on my cards for misconduct, but add them into the website as I do my reports. Really interesting to see the stats from games and very useful when working out positioning etc. Support team are always on the money too. Great work all round!
This app was very nice until the last update. Now the watch will not sync with the phone once a match is complete. Tried support and they have not helped at all. Uninstaller both from the phone and watch and still will not sync.
Doesn't sync. Using Samsung Active 2. Uninstalled. Wouldn't rely on using this for a match record of cautions etc. YouTube video shows player names for cautions in list format, but on this watch, you have to search the squad number. Pro features a monthly cost rather than a one off payment is not good either.
Latest update doesn't work. It doesn't automatically sync even when holding the phone in the same hand as the watch - with Bluetooth on - and next to my WiFi hub! The latest update won't work at all!!
Early on the app was give me problems on Galaxy Watch. The app makers have sent me emails and fixed my issues. I only have one wish now for the screen to stay visible during the whole match. I have set my watch to always on but the refsix app will not stay as always on main screen . -Joe
I love using this app as a soccer official. It makes managing the game 10x easier. Only downside is you don't want to use your watch or phone in wet weather. Heart rate, heat map, and other features available. 👍
Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 with WearOS and after setting up the app with my account, when I go to create match on the watch app, the app crashes back to my apps screen. I can sync any precreated matches just fine and finished matches sync as well.
Use this for all my games now. Easy to use, syncs nicely between watch and phone and have better control of my match records and confirming with the team heading back into the shed. Keep it up and great tool for any referee.
