### 3/5 — Private Leagues

*2025-08-15, version 5.6.11*

Will private leagues be available for this season?

### 3/5 — Can’t log into my account during season

*2023-10-19*

Great fun betting app to use during NFL season, however, I always have issues being signed out of my account and now I can’t log in to my account from the app midseason.

### 3/5 — Private Leagues

*2023-08-13*

Will private leagues be available for this season?

### 3/5 — Does this work anymore?

*2023-07-17, version 5.4.0*

Will cover 5 be available for this upcoming football season?

### 3/5 — Great But…..

*2022-08-21, version 5.1.0*

This app was great last year, but I don’t see how to create a new league this year. How do I do that?

### 1/5 — Latest update jacked up

*2021-12-11, version 4.0.75*

I can no longer make picks now for week 14 with the latest update on 12-10-21. Please fix this. This app is a nightmare.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-11-28, version 3.0.13*

This app is absolute garbage. Does not update scores sometimes. Constantly crashes.

### 1/5 — The worst performing app

*2021-11-01, version 3.0.13*

The game concerto itself is great, but I have never seen an app to devotes to performing poorly. There is no back button once you pick your teams. You have to exit the app and reopen it to get to the Home Screen. They have not updated this app in years. You have to login every time you open the app. It’s like a child created the app.

### 1/5 — Sunday 24 October 2021 App Not Updating!

*2021-10-24, version 3.0.13*

Let’s go! App not updating. It’s football Sunday!

### 2/5 — Review

*2020-11-02, version 3.0.13*

Extremely slow to update the scores.  Has so much more potential.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2019-12-02, version 3.0.13*

The app glitches, closes by itself, updates very slowly, and trash talker section doesn’t work. Waste of time. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — I wish I could rate it 0

*2019-11-04, version 3.0.13*

This app never sees any sort of improvement on the coding side. This is my third year using it and it always has wrong scores that are not updated for hours at a time. You have to continuously login and refresh in the hopes that scores have updated (which they most likely have not). Half the time I’m on it I have to completely close down the app because it freezes or fails to work properly. Very disappointed. You would think this app would get better over time with the awesome concept but it has sucked ever since I first joined.

### 1/5 — A Year Later Still No Private Leagues

*2023-08-30, version 5.4.0*

This used to be the best app all buddies played.  Apparently changed ownership and like others they told us in 2022 Private Leagues would be back in 2023.  Tried to get any code today and no response so my guess is Cover5 is now finished all together.  Such a shame!

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2022-10-04, version 5.4.0*

Everytime I try to join a league, the app crashed

### 1/5 — Getting rid of the best feature

*2022-09-01, version 5.3.0*

This app has new developrs, and they have decided to get rid of the best part of the game. They no longer allow people to create private leagues where you can compete among friends, you can only compete nationally. This has been by far the best part of the app and game experience, I have no clue why these idiots would get rid of this option.

**Developer response:** Hi John, Cover5 is under new ownership and we've been working on the app all year, but we will not be supporting any feature unless we feel 100% confident in it being a great user experience. The bad news is...we're just not there yet with private leagues. They'll be back next season, though! This was a tough decision but please trust that when private leagues return, it’ll be even better than before. We hope you'll join one of our local leagues where you can compete against others in your city / area. You can get your local join code from the Join League screen in the app. Thanks for sticking with us, and good luck this season!

### 1/5 — No private leagues

*2022-09-01, version 5.3.0*

Can no longer do private leagues. 5 years of growing a fan base wiped out.

### 1/5 — Can’t create leagues

*2022-08-30, version 5.2.0*

With every update a new issue seems to evolve - this time the ability to create league. Help!

### 1/5 — Can’t create league

*2022-08-30, version 5.2.0*

I’ve used this app for years but this year I can’t anyway to set my league up.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-08-29, version 5.2.0*

No one’s usernames or emails work. Can’t find league.  Is the app dead?

### 1/5 — Can’t create a league

*2022-08-27, version 5.2.0*

We’re about to start the NFL season but you can’t even create a league

### 1/5 — App needs work

*2021-12-12, version 4.0.75*

Should not have to sign in each time, should not have to open and close app a few times to get leagues to show up

### 1/5 — Log in page is horrible

*2021-12-12, version 4.0.75*

The app is simple enough, pick teams and in time will show scores. No big. With new update, you have to log I. With username and password each time. Seems silly but becomes old after 5 times when checking teams/scores changes etc. easy fix for Face ID or other but full log in is beyond horrible

### 5/5 — NFL Season, 2025-2026

*2025-08-22, version 5.6.11*

This app is a favorite with family and friends each year. Will the app be available for the NFL this season?

Will private leagues be available again?

When?

### 5/5 — No issues

*2024-10-01, version 5.6.10*

No issues running our private league since new app released

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-08-26, version 5.6.5*

This is 5 stars no cap

### 5/5 — Can’t login

*2022-08-30, version 5.2.0*

Unable to log in. Takes me directly to the new sign up page

### 5/5 — Fast fun

*2022-03-17, version 4.2.11*

Quick way to get in on the fun of the tournament without a huge time commitment.

### 5/5 — Better than brackets!

*2022-03-17, version 4.2.11*

I always bust my bracket super early in the tournament so I find this game way more fun.

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2021-08-28, version 3.0.13*

This app has such a fun concept. I love how it’s so easy- no football knowledge necessary! Before being in a league with my family, I only followed my favorite team and to be honest just barely. Since playing Cover 5, I look forward to watching all my games and know more about other teams. The best part is that it has brought my family closer together and given us more to talk about!

### 5/5 — Bring it back!

*2020-09-27, version 3.0.13*

Bring it back!

### 5/5 — Significantly Improved

*2019-10-22, version 3.0.13*

App functionality has been significantly better than prior years. Keep up the good work. It’s being appreciated by our group!

### 5/5 — Great for camaraderie

*2019-09-16, version 3.0.13*

I really feel like this app gets a bad rap.  This app allows my group of super horni bros to engage regularly in a completely hetero way without having to pay the juice the man always charges. 5 STARS!!! Your crew will love it too! Shout out to Freddie Jackson.
