OnDeck

OnDeck is the best swim team app available. It has helped save time with meet entries, billing, account information, communications and much more. It’s a great tool that all coaches and admins should have. The best part is that it’s included with our TeamUnify website. The merging of MainSet into OnDeck is an added plus! Looking up swimmers times and data is so quick and easy. TeamFeed and texting to parents are the biggest improvements and helps tremendously with team communication. Taking attendance and athlete tracking is head and shoulders above any other software companies’ offerings. Check it out today!!!

Update: severe bug with FaceID: if OnDeck is the active app, and the phone goes to sleep, it goes into a state where it takes numerous (and I mean *numerous*) tries to swipe up to get the phone to wake. It just keeps showing a FaceID confirmation, but it stays on the lock screen. Anyone with an iPhone X, XS, or XR should beware. Presumably the new 2018 iPad Pro will also be affected. I'm writing this from a parent's perspective. I imagine a coach would have a different view. The new app looks much better than the old, and acts much more like a modern iOS app. Neither old nor new versions make finding things easy. There are a *lot* of features, and it usually takes me a while to find what I'm looking for. Combining parent & coach apps seemed like a reasonable idea, until I saw all of the coach features cluttering up the screen. One feature I used a lot is either missing in the new app, or else is well-hidden: keying in the heat and lane assignments for events. I'd much rather have that info on my phone than carry around a paper meet program. The new app is slower than the old. It seems to load every page on-the-fly from the cloud, which is sluggish. On the meet entries display, 3-digit event numbers are truncated, which is a pretty severe problem. Touch ID is buggy - it often requires password entry, which kind of misses the point of Touch ID. The app really needed a refresh, but this version is a swing and a miss.

The OnDeck app has some many features for swimmers, parents and coaches in one place. You have the ability to see your child’s attendance, sign up for a meet, best times, meet results and much more. TeamUnify keeps updating the app to make it better....we just got the TeamFeed and love how we are able to communicate with our team just by a click of a button. Thanks for providing a great app!

Coming from the viewpoint of an actual swimmer, as opposed to that of a parent or coach, this app is amazing to check event entries and view helpful information with the teamfeed. The best part however, are the “cool tools,” which consist of a stopwatch with a bunch of fun settings, a time converter (LCM SCM and SCY are all here) and a pace calculator, which is especially helpful for distance swimmers such as myself. Overall 10/10, would recommend.

The app is easy to use, well organized. I only wished it opened to the main page as opposed to the profile page each time it’s opened. It did take some time to remember that I have to click on my swimmer’s picture to get to the “accept” or “decline” options for events. Having the tabs on that first page would be even easier but once I remembered how to do it it is rather easy but could be easier.
