Cannot use if for Fundraiser

The Total payout must equal whats in the by quarter boxes. As a fundraiser, would like the option to sell at $10 per square and have a total payout of $500. Fundraiser get the other 500 and have it possible to do q1: $100. q2: $100 q3$100 q4:$200.

Best Football Pool App Out There

5 stars for being the best option available on iOS. UX is good. Not great. Needs a few more features to be a game changer. ;) Things I’d like to see incorporated:
1. Ability for participants to select their own squares. Odds wise doesn’t make a difference but great for superstitious types.
2. Allow to play if all squares are not filled. They are essentially dead numbers that will carry over the payout to the next quarter or next period. No winners pot gets refunded. Easy via Venmo and PayPal.
3. Allow one click payment for participants if Venmo or PayPal handles used. Payment request feature that’s there now is good.
4. Get a license to use NFL and team logos. $100k can be recouped with modest profits through sponsorships and pay per click / install rev gen programs—to name a couple. PM me your contact info to discuss various monetization options.
5. Ability to customize different payouts per period. Right now it’s only even payout per quarter, at the half or final score. Makes the game a bit more exciting.
6. Allow for Apple ID or other form of registration / authentication so host can use on multiple devices. Right now only my phone has my grids. My iPad doesn’t reflect the app data on my phone. Pretty standard UX with iOS apps. Was surprised to see GridKings doesn’t have that.

That’s it for now. Thanks for supplying the best football pool app option!

El Duonger, wow, thank you so much for the detailed feedback. We have all of these features on our roadmap, so expect to see these soon. In the meantime, continue to enjoy the app and thanks for the rating and review!

How to get Venmo payments

I like the simplicity of the app. Though when I invite people it’s only allowing them to pay with Apple account even though I sent my Venmo account as part of the invite. How do you switch this?

Response from developer

Johnhammy, GridKings does not handle the transaction of any money in our app. You can just hit up the players directly to square up with whatever means you like.

Very confusing

The interface is nice but when you share your grid you are taken to an incomplete webpage if GridKings. The tutorial page is a “Lorem ipsum” page that has not been completed.

Great App

The app is what I was looking for, is there a way to manually assign the squares and change the quarter payout about?

Best way to do squares

Great app for football squares. I would pay for this!
It makes it super simple to invite people and keep track of payments. No paper to circulate, everything is randomizes which in my opinion is great and one less thing for the manager to worry about.

My only request would be for other payout options. Like different quarter payout vs half and final and Friendly neighbors
