  • Absolutely terrible.

    This is unfinished at best.

    Developer Response

    Please let me know what didn't work for you. It has been in the app store for over 10 years and has been in the top 10 rankings many weeks. What is not finished? Contact support for comments.
  • Works great

    This app works great for me. Lots of options to choose from.
  • Nice App

    I like this app a lot. I have ran into one issue though - if you have 6 people it will not let you populate teams on the bracket. For some reason you have to have 8 players, or 4 teams not 3 teams. It would also be nice to add the ability to change the team size.
  • Works well

    I’ve used this BracketMaker app for many years now to run an 8-ball tournament works great! Recently I started using again after a Covid hiatus. The names I enter to come up with bracket no long show the list of names. Found out in Apple’s dark mode the color of names are black like the background so names aren’t visible. Changed to white background names are now visible. Thank you

    please email support so you can include screenshots and get help. Nothing has changed in the app for a long time. thank you for your support of bracket maker .
  • One small change

    I just want to say that I really love this app but I can make one change is that when you go to interact mode on the full screen once you pick a winner loser is marked out on the winners bracket and then move down to the losers so it was a line through the loser so you know what games you’ve already played.

  • Good bracket app... room for improvement but still using.

    This app has so many different options for making tournament options. The bracket options are incredible!

    This is not an app for tracking your kid’s softball tournament. The app sets which teams play each other next, this is not something that you can set. Using this in order to run a tournament is great.

    Super:
    entering teams
    bracket options
    Recording wins/losses
    Removing an error
    Exporting an image of the bracket or list of wins/losses

    Needs improvement:
    Saving and recalling brackets
    Saving and recalling names
    Customization of where teams move in the bracket

    Thank you for using the app. You can manually select/customize which teams are placed on the bracket. Just choose "copy by manual selection" under the sprocket icon menu then select "Copy to brackets". Each team that you select will be placed on the bracket in your order.
  • Good program, but could be better.

    It’s pretty good, but if I was able to control the font size of my team names it would be better.

    Also the seeding selection is a little confusing.

    But overall, very very good!!!

    Developer Response

    Font size is difficult to control without overlapping other information. Did you know that you can pinch to zoom in full screen mode? that should show you the data you want up close. It's a disappointment that you selected one star for this review. check online help.
  • Keeps crashing

    The app has an incredibly basic format. Which works but it keeps crashing. Also once I get all of my names in it will reset randomly and I will lose all of my information. I will be pursuing a refund
  • Latest update is home run!

    I’m a tournament director of two very successful weekly 8-ball tournaments in Arizona; and, I used this app in the first few months of both. Almost all the tourney software on the market is Windows PC only, leaving MacBook users like myself with only 1 decent free software solution. I wasn’t going to go that route until I knew the tournaments were successful and would go on for some time in the future.

    So, I tried nearly all paid and free app solutions for ipads. And after experiencing most of them, this app was hands down the easiest, most intuitive, and all encompassing solution for my needs. And it’s FREE.

    Not 2 months ago, I emailed Jack (the developer) about some minor bugs and a feature wishlist. I never expected to hear back, but he responded within a week or less and embraced my feedback. Over the next couple weeks he and I exchanged emails, and I am happy to say that this app is now as relevant as any pc software. Why? Because I need to report my tourney results to the Fargo Rating system. This latest update now features all of the tournament’s match results and finishing order in a CSV file for easy submission to Fargo, or for your own tracking purposes and more!

    Home run Jack!

  • Works great

    I see a lot of reviews are old but the current Rev works good for me... I would play with it before game day to get comfortable with it... but well worth the money to me and better than others I have tried
