Absolutely terrible.
This is unfinished at best.
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

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

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!!!

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
Great Job
Need I say more?
Great App!!
I’ve been using the Bracket Maker App for 5+ years in my PE classes. We do tournaments for basketball, badminton, pickle ball, etc. and this app works phenomenally! I run it on an iPad and project it on a large TV, using AppleTV so my students always know who they’re playing and on which court.
I sent an email to the developer about a bug and he fixed it in less than 2 days - GREAT customer service!
Recommendations: showing the game numbers as to the Loser of this game plays the Loser of that game in the Losers bracket (in the regular bracket view)
Also, an option for court/mat number for each game

Excellent
A small amount of money well spent. Very pleased with the app. It is simple to use, layout is great, it does everything it says it does. Ideal for my purposes doing tournament draws. Only drawback seems to be that I can't print the draw (bracket) on a large scale onto multiple pages - one a4 page is too small print size for larger competitions.

Bad design, bad code, bad waste of 99 cents
Hard to use. Horrible design.
Bracket Maker
This is a great app. We use it to run weekly dart tournaments and it works flawlessly. We also AirPlay the iPad screen to a big TV via an Apple TV so everybody can follow what is going on. It's very easy to use and has just the right amount of options. If you are running any kind of tourney I absolutely recommend this app. I looked at several others but this one won hands down. Author is very responsive to questions and suggestions. Comes complete including well written instructions which you probably won't need due to how intuitive this app is.

Fantastic app
This is extremely user friendly and full of great functions. It works great for sports, but is useful in many other creative ways. Easy to save or email copies and the print option looks great. Best value and usage I've seen from an app since Google Maps.
Bug fix
Please update - not working
Bug
The task bar at the top of the screen in app is gone. I can't make a new bracket or load my old ones.
Please fix
Love this app, but stopped working since 9.0 update.
Please update!!!
I liked this app but it doesn't work with the newest version of iOS. please update
