Show HN: I made a football/soccer formation and squad app

Inspired by watching my sons coach using a carry around whiteboard, plus also starting to coach my wifes over 30s womens amateur team I wrote a mobile app for amateur football/soccer coaches.

It allows you to add your players information, manage substitutions during games (who's on the field, whos on the bench) as well as drag around players into formations, draw tactics on the screen and share using the IOS share features to email, messages etc. Build your tactic and share it with the team between games.

It's free and its designed to just be an easy thing for coaches to take around with them and has no cost.

I know I'm not the first to do this but many of them are targeted towards professional coaches and a lot more complex than they need to be in my opinion. Some are attached to expensive hardware subscriptions for more in-depth player management than amateur coaches need.

Appreciate any feedback and thanks for giving it a go if you do :)
