Formerly published as PlayLock. Same app, a name that says what it does.
Know Your Plays turns a playbook into quick quizzes. Players can join their coach's team with a six-character team code, and the coach sees which plays each player knows. Optionally, the app can lock the apps you choose until you pass a quiz. Coaches: see how team codes work.
Email tomnguyentpm@gmail.com — we read everything and aim to reply within 2 business days. From version 1.7.1 you can also report a bug or suggest an idea from Settings ▸ Send feedback; it asks for no email address, so if you want a reply, email us instead.
Tapping the shield sends a notification that brings you into the quiz — iOS requires this hop. Check Settings → Know Your Plays → Notifications is allowed (on older versions of the app it is listed as PlayLock). The app also shows a warning card on its home screen when this is the problem.
Make sure Screen Time access is still granted (Settings → Screen Time). The app tells you when access has lapsed. If it keeps happening, email us with your iOS version.
Shared playbooks are fully usable on the free plan — study and lock with every card. Adding your own cards to them is part of Know Your Plays Pro.
Lock tab ▸ Settings (called Gate settings before 1.6.0) ▸ Restore purchases (or Restore on the paywall), signed in with the Apple Account that bought Pro.
A coach can share a link; opening it fills in the code, nothing is joined until you tap Join. On an iPhone with Know Your Plays it opens the Join screen with the code typed for you; you choose your name on the board. Without the app, the link shows the code and the App Store link.
Lock tab ▸ Settings ▸ Team ▸ Leave the team. The record your team code created on our server (your display name and which plays you've mastered) is erased right then; your plays and quiz history on the phone are untouched. A coach can delete the whole team from the same screen.
From version 1.6.0, a player opens the Team tab and taps Report this team. On earlier versions, email the address above with the team code; a person reads every report.
Everything lives on your device (apart from an optional team-code record, above) — delete a playbook to remove it, or delete the app to remove everything. See the Privacy Policy.
