### 1/5 — Zu viele Bugs

*2026-06-29*

Nachdem ich alles fertig editiert habe und meine Liga erstelle, sehe ich wenig später das aus 18 Teams aufeinmal 54 wurden. Ich schaue nach und sehe das jedes von mir erstellte Team 3-fach anwesend war, und dazu natürlich auch jeder Spieler 3-fach. Dann hat die App auch angefangen abzustürzen. Ich habe dann von jedem Team jeweils 2 Duplikate gelöscht, und aufeinmal ist der Spielplan komplett kaputt und es sind nur noch einzelne Spiele von verschiedenen Teams, an verschiedenen Spieltagen. Leider gab es keine Möglichkeit einen neuen Spielplan generieren zu lassen. Somit hätte ich theoretisch alles neu erstellen müssen. Da bin ich ehrlich gesagt zu faul um eine weitere Stunde meines Lebens zu opfern.
Ich bin ein geisteskranker, Bitte Hilfe 
MfG und LG von mir

### 4/5 — Question

*2026-05-29, version 5.2.2*

Great app really enjoy it a lot. Very useful for a lot of of the leagues that I make. However, I wish when you can pause for 45 minutes you can actually pause it and then click the next half whenever you would like as well as I wish they showed assists, red and yellow cards.

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2026-04-02, version 5.2.2*

When I put the score in I press submit and it resets the scores don’t get

### 5/5 — Really Nice App

*2026-03-13, version 5.2.2*

### 3/5 — Gut doch plötzlich funktioniert nichts.

*2026-01-25*

Also ich habe mir das Spiel runtergeladen ich habe mir eine Bundesliga erstellt ohne die pro Version .Dann wollte ich mir eine zweite Bundesliga erstellen ok ging noch also war ich darbei die Mannschaften zu erstellen das ging als ich das Turnier erstellt habe wurden in der Tabelle plötzlich von jedem Verein 4 5 oder sechs angezeigt dann habe ich von jedem Verein alle gelöscht bis auf einen doch dann musste ich den Spielplan selbst machen bitte beheben und ich wollte ein Achtelfinale bis zu einem Finale machen ging doch als ich das Achtelfinale fertig gespielt hatte musste ich das Viertelfinale selbst Plan das fand ich nicht blöd aber als ich auf Viertelfinale gegangen bin und aufs plus wollte um den Spielplan zu erstellen ging es nicht am sonsten hatte ich Spaß mit der ersten Bundesliga

### 4/5 — Paar wichtige Aspekte fehlen. Sonst sehr gute App!

*2026-01-03*

Sehr gute App. Finde aber, dass paar wichtige Aspekte in der App fehlen wie Spielabbruch eintragen, Punkteabzug eintragen und Nachspielzeit bei den Torschützen eintragen kann. Danke.

### 3/5 — Great app but team duplication bug needs fixing

*2025-08-08*

really like how easy it is to set up tournaments in this app, and it has great features for tracking matches.
However, I’m having a frustrating issue where the app automatically duplicates teams every time I create a new tournament. It makes managing my events confusing and slow.
I’ve tried updating the app and reinstalling, but the problem still happens.
Please fix this bug soon so the app works smoothly for tournament organizers like me! Thanks.

### 5/5 — Hi

### 3/5 — Great app but…

*2025-07-05, version 5.2.2*

### 1/5 — Would be better if the teams didn’t duplicate in a leauge phase this was one of the best apps for me

*2025-06-14, version 5.2.2*

Every time i make a team it always duplicates it into multiple teams i had 36 teams now it’s 180 teams what happened pls fix this also for tournaments
