Coach's Clipboard is a lineup tool for youth and adult sports coaches. Team and game information stays on the device. The app has no account. The free version shows ads and sells an optional subscription through Apple.
If you enter them, the app keeps:
That information stays in an on-device SwiftData store. Deleting a team deletes its games. Deleting the app deletes the store. The app does not send the roster to the developer. A team you cannot open on the free plan is still stored. Subscribing, or deleting it yourself, are the only ways it changes. The app does not delete it for you.
The free version shows a small banner from Google AdMob at the bottom of the team list and the games list. The dugout and the live rotation screen have no ads. The app does not show full-screen ads or video ads.
Ad requests are configured as non-personalized and child-directed, with a maximum content rating of G, because a roster can include children's names. The app does not ask for App Tracking Transparency permission and does not use the advertising identifier for its own features. Google may still receive technical data such as an IP address and device details in order to serve and measure that ad, under Google's privacy policy. Coach's Clipboard Pro removes the ads.
Weather is part of the free version. If you type a field address, the app sends that text to Apple to turn it into map coordinates, then sends those coordinates to Open-Meteo to request the forecast. When the address is blank, the field name is sent instead. Open-Meteo does not require an account or an API key. The app does not read this device's location and does not ask for location permission. Tapping the field name asks which maps app to open. If a field has an address but no name, that link says Directions. Copying the address stays on this device. The words you typed stay in the on-device store with the team and the game. Forecast text on a game is attributed to Open-Meteo.com.
Share and print use Apple's share sheet. If you send a lineup image or PDF, that file goes to the app you choose, such as Messages or Mail. Coach's Clipboard does not receive a copy of that choice and does not see what happens afterward. Sharing a rotation is part of Coach's Clipboard Pro.
Message Team, also part of Pro, opens Apple's Mail or Messages composer and fills in a message you can still edit. You tap send there. Coach's Clipboard does not send the message itself, and it does not transmit contact details to the developer. Email addresses are placed in BCC. A text includes the phone numbers in the thread, which is how Messages works.
Coach's Clipboard Pro is an auto-renewing subscription sold and billed by Apple. There is a monthly plan and a yearly plan. New subscribers get a 1-week free trial. The trial length and eligibility are set up in App Store Connect, not in the app. The price shown in the app is the price Apple returns for your storefront. The subscription renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
If you already bought the earlier one-time unlimited unlock (com.jamesbeyer.rotationcoach.unlimited), that purchase is treated as Pro. The app does not receive your payment card number and does not require an account.
Coach's Clipboard is a tool for coaches. It is not in the App Store Kids category. A roster can include children's names. Ads are requested under child-directed settings for that reason. Keep the device in the hands of the coach.
