The only issue was there was ads, and a suggestion is to add third place matches as well ### 4/5 — My rating *2026-03-19, version 1.1.5* Would be a 5 if I could use champion anamations without spending money ### 3/5 — Potential *2026-02-05, version 1.1.3* I wish there was a way to have separate conferences ### 4/5 — Duplicate brackets *2025-12-31, version 1.1.3* The way you can add as many as you desire but if you wanna duplicate a bracket you cant ### 3/5 — Nice App, but Buggy *2025-09-22, version 1.1.3* App is simple and easy to use. However it’s setting most of the first round to have a bye in every seed, so most of the seeds just go straight into the second round even though there are other teams for it to match up with in the first round. ### 4/5 — Pretty cool but have one suggestion *2025-08-20, version 1.1.2* Can you add labels to every stage, like quarter finals, semi finals, and a final? And add an option where you can customize the name of the stage ### 5/5 — Great out one thing *2025-08-04, version 1.1.1* I liked this a lot but if yall had round robin I will be really happy => ### 3/5 — I wish it could be better *2025-08-02, version 1.1.1* I wish we can add more teams than nine because I wanted more than nine in my tournament it’s good by the way I could use it for anything ### 5/5 — Finally! A simple bracket app! *2025-07-25, version 1.1.1* How hard it is to find an app like this that is FREE and SIMPLE is insane. This is all I wanted. THANK YOU! ### 4/5 — Love the app, but I have question *2025-06-12, version 1.1.1* Enjoying the app so far! My only question is how can we see bracket history? If that isn’t an option I’d like to have a tab within each bracket I make to be able to see the results of each previous tournament. I hope something like this is in the works thank you ### 5/5 — Great app for simple brackets *2025-06-06, version 1.1.1* Very well made app, and very simple and straight forward. Definitely would recommend as your go-to for any bracket building events. ### 5/5 — :) *2025-05-18, version 1.1.1* I can finally make brackets ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great app 1 major glitch *2025-12-31, version 1.1.3* If a person wins the first game and looses the second they play the same player as in game 1 they should alternate where the looser gets placed so this doesn’t happen ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work right *2025-11-24, version 1.1.3* I picked out 50 songs and the first 15 are all solo and not even in the first round ### 1/5 — App is bugged *2025-04-30, version 1.0.8* Can’t handle large brackets, tries to insert 3 people into one match and loses teams in the mix. Don’t download whatever update they did bugged it. ### 1/5 — Double elimination doesn’t work *2024-10-20, version 1.0.4* The app can’t handle a double elimination bracket, even though it’s one of only two bracket options on it. The bracket couldn’t progress past round one of loser’s , because half of the teams wouldn’t pop up on loser’s side after selecting who won and lost in the first round; you’ll get stuck on TBD on half of your matches. Honestly, the app would be better if everything was manual input. ### 1/5 — Inconsistent. *2023-12-23, version 1.0.4* My family wanted to have a family ping pong tournament (double elimination). By the 5th round there were people who played JUST ONCE, and one boy who played all rounds. This felt very unfair as the boy had to play 5 straight rounds in a row and got absolutely exhausted. This isn’t fair and I HIGHLY recommend you should consider a different app. ### 1/5 — Not to great. *2023-12-22, version 1.0.4* Everything worked until the last couple games in double elimination. Would only show TBD instead of teams. ### 1/5 — Horribke *2022-06-04, version 1.0.1* Glitchy trash ### 2/5 — Fine app, plenty of room for improvement *2025-07-22, version 1.1.1* Good for simple brackets, not good for more complicated like NFL brackets, or anything like that. Little customization of brackets. ### 2/5 — Please fix!!! *2025-06-08, version 1.1.1* Trying to build a bracket from notes app and every time I switch to the notes app and go back to Bracket App my bracket resets. ### 2/5 — Missing *2025-04-05, version 1.0.5* Had 39 players in double elimination pool tournament and after first round it deleted 2 players the third round it wouldn’t let me pick the winner of each round ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bracket app *2026-07-21, version 1.1.5* Makes making brackets easy ### 5/5 — perfect and simple *2026-07-11, version 1.1.5* perfect for just a simple tournament bracket maker. only tweak i would make would be to make it easier to tweak what teams play what once the tournament is made, current way is to shuffle the team order and randomize until satisfied, but it might be harder for larger tournaments. other than that, perfect ### 5/5 — Great for my use *2026-05-30, version 1.1.5* I love the animations and customization, great for basic tournaments. ### 5/5 — Great With One Major Flaw *2026-04-02, version 1.1.5* Love that this is free. Love even more that you can do 64 teams on here. Only issue is that this thing has a bad habit of running slower than molasses, and kicking you out when you’re trying to execute a basic command. ### 5/5 — Amazing best thing ever *2026-03-11, version 1.1.5* I tried like 4 other bracket apps and none of them worked past 8 teams and then this app which also let me use logos for my fake match madness and college basketball league to make brackets for friends for March madness it’s so cool ### 5/5 — Please add *2026-02-19, version 1.1.5* Really good game I want the presentation to be better like for championship games add a trophy logo for each round make a background delight. For the bracket I wish there were standings like a win loss record and add a tab showing all the winners for championship and make a animation for when you click on a team to win like if you chose a team to win the championship make like confetti’ or a trophy come up but I hope you read this and hope this helps you thank you for the game this app has a lot of potential.one more thing make it were you can delete brackets make conferences and when you edit a bracket it doesn’t go to the top it ruins everything 🥇(please make it not cost money)🥇 ### 5/5 — NFL *2026-01-23, version 1.1.3* I love to put my teams on it ### 5/5 — Ts is lit🔥 *2026-01-17, version 1.1.3* One question, can I delete a bracket that was made by accident? ### 5/5 — Very good, but some suggestions *2025-12-29, version 1.1.3* I love this bracket app, it allows me to make chess tournaments for me and my friends a lot easier, but it would be even better if this app could have round robin tournaments too. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2025-12-27, version 1.1.3* Very simple yet Effective --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
