Overbearing and Ad Heavy – TeamSnap Review

This is the app several of our kids sports teams chose to standardize on. I am forced to use it about once a week. The interface is extremely advertising heavy and includes tiny banner ads that occlude the content. After closing the messages it also has pop up ads. To make matters worse, I get promotional emails from old teams and sports years later from teams that are no longer relevant. They do provide an ad free subscription, but given that I’m forced to use the app and so infrequently, it only causes resentment and frustration with the app and the whole team snap monetization model. Given that there are dozens of messaging apps and group apps that don’t harvest as much private data, I’m not sure this is the best choice even though it is geared towards sports teams.
