Mark's SubNow Story

The vision for SubNow began over dinner in 2015 with family friends who also had three children playing Miniroos football. We shared our frustrations as coaches attempting to manage player rotations to ensure all parents felt their children were receiving their fair share of game time. We were sure there must be an app that made managing player rotations easy but there wasn’t.

As a Miniroos parent, coach and business consultant I felt that this is a problem that could be solved. In 2015 I prototyped the SubNow logic and screens and released a first version of SubNow.

We learned a great deal from feedback from coaches, clubs and parents during this period but we could not afford fund the development to make the improvements needed.

Fortunately in mid 2017 a local iOS developer, ______, who was looking for his next project learned of SubNow and felt that it had real potential but needed a native iPhone version with improved usability and features.

With new expertise and time commitment to the project SubNow has improved substantially via regular updates. In November 2018 we released a major update to allow customised rotation plans and have many more great features in our development pipeline.

How do I request new features or bug fixes?

Submit a Contact form or email Mark Jocumsen. We are determined to continually improve SubNow so any feedback, questions and feature requests are greatly appreciated. We are always looking for people to participate in designing and trialing new features & screen improvements.

Coaches and parents love using SubNow to manage player rotations

All around the world coaches and clubs use SubNow to manage fair playing time. Here’s what the say:

Stumbled upon this app after feeling defeated coaching my first game of soccer ever - who would have known how difficult it would be to try to substitute kids in and out of the game?!? And here I thought I’d be coaching fundamentals of soccer this season not trying to heard sheep lol!

I installed it for my kid. He is playing football so I found this app very useful. It is easy to work with, I like the functionalities and productivities. It also has a option for creating several teams so you can organize your game. I recommend it.

The app is great and makes it so easy to manage rotations

Absolutely love this app!! Makes game day super easy and I’m so grateful this has been made it will help so many coaches LOVE IT !

Have tried numerous apps, but all weren’t up to the task. Until I found SubNow. Works great and accurate, ensures all the kids get a good and fair go. No arguing with the kids cause the app said so, lol.

This app helps to take the pressure off me as a coach & focus more on the game. Great simple app that does the job!

This is a great app. I'm always trying to make sure junior players get equal time on the field but sometimes game time gets away from me. This app is a very helpful reminder to complete substitutes on time. Thank you.

This app is awesome and allows you to throw away the spreadsheet that you spent 4 hours developing to make sure kids get even playing time!
