Routr vs Set Hike

The short answer

Routr is built to design your 5v5 playbook on iPhone and iPad. Draw plays, start from twelve with reads, watch them run against a defense and print wristbands for game day. Set Hike focuses on the iPad sideline: score, clock, formations and play scripts.

Design the plays you call

Routr is where your playbook gets built. Pick a formation, move the players and give each receiver a route from the list, or draw your own. Drag from a player, or tap to add straight legs that keep sharp corners. Drag any point to reshape it.

It works on iPhone and iPad, so you can sketch a call on your phone after practice and show it on a tablet at the next one. There is no account to set up.

Start from twelve real plays

Routr includes twelve template plays, each with routes at set depths, a read order and the coverage it beats. Try Mesh Drive against man and zone, or Trips Stick for a quick read. Choose Use This Play and edit your copy.

Build the run game as well: a handoff, a pitch or a reverse. Pick the situation, from open field to a two-point try, and Routr draws that field.

Watch it run and print the card

With Routr Pro, line up Cover 0 to Cover 4, man or zone, and watch the play run with the defense moving. Your quarterback sees where the space opens before the first rep.

Pin this week’s calls in Game Day. Pro prints QB and player wristband cards at real band sizes, call sheets and PDF pages. Send the folder to your assistant by AirDrop, Messages or Mail; they open it free.

Where Set Hike fits

Set Hike puts the score, clock and play outcomes on your iPad during the game, with formations shown using player photos and play scripts for each series. It needs iPadOS 18.0 or later. If your main job on game day is running the clock and the score sheet, that is its focus.

Free to start

Routr gives you five plays of your own for free. Routr Pro is $4.99 a month, $14.99 a year or $29.99 once, in US prices. Build the call your team runs most, then print a test card with the wristband guide.
