In round robin with 2 members per team, I can only see 1 of the team members. I have to manually hold the name to see the matchup - this seems like a design oversight. Please update. If updated, I’ll revise review to 5 stars, as it’s been great up to this point. ### 4/5 — More teams please! *2026-08-10* My and my friends use this app to create huge bracket that usually max out the amount of teams we request to move up the amount of teams to 256 (the normal max doubled) so we can better use this app in our big tournaments! ### 3/5 — Pro? *2026-07-31, version 17* Im excited to be able to get back on. I like rosters. But the only way I can use them is the pro version? Why? ### 4/5 — Good app but one major problem *2026-07-14* This app is good and has a big team limit, but one major problem. After a certain amount of uses, you have to PAY TO USE THE APP. What the heck? And this hasn’t been fixed or anything. I shouldn’t have to subscribe to use a simple app. Until this gets removed, I can’t use this app. ### 1/5 — One free bracket? *2026-07-03, version 11* Can only create one bracket then you have to pony up. Can’t even edit the amount of players on the first bracket. ### 1/5 — Kicks me out *2026-07-03, version 11* Is bracket kicks me out after I put in more than 16 players on a double elimination bracket then I can’t get back in it. It locks me out. ### 2/5 — Money? *2026-06-29, version 11* $20? $20 for my bracket app? It was going swell, I was building my brackets and all was great. UNTIL. Until i got all the way to submitting the bracket stage and it said I have to pay!!! Absolute insanity! ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-06-27, version 11* Crashed constantly ### 4/5 — Help please *2026-06-25, version 11* My son loved this app, but it crashed and he lost all his brackets! We have the bracket files saved, is there a way the developer can help us get them back into the app?!? Thanks ### 3/5 — G *2026-06-20, version 11* At first I loved it but then I started to have to pay for some reason it is a good app and not very expensive but still ### 1/5 — Money? *2026-06-15, version 11* Why does this cost money just to create a bracket? My money was wasted ### 1/5 — Deleted *2026-06-14, version 11* Deleted a bracket I developed when published ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-06-13, version 11* I tried to make a bracket and with only 8 teams I couldn’t make it I had to get pro access ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2026-06-12, version 11* I used to love it now I hate it because I have to pay to make another bracket ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — pay *2026-08-23* it was good but after making 1 bracket i need to pay ### 1/5 — This app sucks now *2026-08-18* I used to like this app but now I need to PAY for a Bracket! ### 1/5 — Works great, for the single bracket it let me make. *2026-08-14* Having the seriously pay to make more than one bracket at a time is a load of rubbish, save the hassle, don’t waste your money. I’m sure there are plenty of alternatives. I hate to see stuff like this… ### 1/5 — ごみ *2026-08-03* ランダムにしてないのにランダムになる ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-07-25, version 14* It lets you do one bracket and then it makes you pay ### 1/5 — Bracket *2026-07-19, version 11* App will not open after I paid the 19.99 for life access. I was embarrassed as I was hosting a tournament and it blacked out and closed after I clicked create bracket. Not worth paying for or using ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-15, version 11* You need a membership to make one bracket ### 1/5 — 20$ *2026-07-13, version 11* I had spent a while setting up a bracket and before I was able to save it I had been pushed with the app saying I needed to pay 20 dollars with what I should be doing on a piece of paper. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-07-12, version 11* I purchased the pro upgrade and it crashes every time I make a double bracket. ### 1/5 — Nicht gut! *2026-07-07* Es läuft alles andere als gut. Man ist gerade fertig mit den Teams, da wird man einfach so rausgekickt und kommt nicht mehr rein. Lädt man sich das Spiel danach erneut runter, kommt man rein, doch aufeinmal kostet es Geld! Und das war mein erstes Bracket. Absolut schlecht! **Developer response:** Danke. Apologies for the bug. The last version should fix this issues. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What a convenient bracket maker *2026-07-20, version 11* Love how easy it is to use. Great for backyard games! ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-07-12, version 11* All of the other apps make you pay for more spots on the bracket but this app doesn’t make you pay that is why I rate it a 5 stars ### 5/5 — Cured that Itch *2026-07-11, version 11* Absolutely love this app. The premium part of this however seems pointless but nevertheless 10/10 ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-06-29, version 11* For sports awesome app ### 5/5 — The goat of bracket builders for fun *2026-06-15* I loved this because you can make a bracket of whatever sport you want and so many options and the new round Robin update makes it the goat if you are looking for a fun time making random brackets then download this (my favorite app ever!) ### 5/5 — PASA *2026-06-15, version 11* The official bracket of the Pickleball Association of San Antonio, worth the money for the pro ### 5/5 — Family Game Days *2026-06-02, version 11* This bracket builder helps so much for family competitions! ### 5/5 — Just asking *2026-05-25, version 11* Could a ranking system be added to the app? ### 5/5 — N *2026-05-12, version 11* Good bracket app ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-19* Great bracket creator app but one problem can you fix it where the app crashes and you have to delete it and redownload it in order for it to work thanks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
