### 5/5 — Wow!!!!!

*2025-05-03, version 1.6.0*

Currently have over $2,000 on my account and I can’t even click the withdraw button. I contacted a lawyer regarding what I’m dealing with here. Totally illegal..

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-04-23, version 1.4.3*

Bugs/revamp glitches aside, I love this game!  But I'm kinda curious how some of the percentages are calculated.  Been a couple times when it looked like I had a much higher % than my opponent, though they won. That's fine I'd only like to understand better so I know.  But greatfast paced fun!  Be on your toes in this one!

*2024-02-12, version 1.3.91*

### 5/5 — Super Bowl

*2024-02-12, version 1.3.91*
