This visibility is concerning. ### 3/5 — OK But Could Use Improvements *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* Why did they drop the ability to see how far a team was picked to go by each member of a group when viewing matchups in the Bracketcast? Extremely annoying for that feature to be dropped. ### 2/5 — Why make it worse? *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* They keep taking away features and making the app less useful and less user friendly, instead of better. Wish they'd bring back the ability to see how far someone picked a team to go in the bracketcast tab. This was so helpful within groups. ### 1/5 — No notifications ability *2026-03-18, version 14.0.3* The ESPN TC app does not prompt me to allow notifications upon downloading. It also does not appear under Notifications in my Settings for me to manually allow notifications. How can I turn on notifications? ### 1/5 — Just sad *2026-03-17, version 14.0.3* The app says it’s having trouble connecting. I haven’t even gotten in yet and now I won’t be able to make my march madness bracket this year and it’s a family tradition. 😔 ### 1/5 — Software *2026-03-16, version 14.0.3* Every time I try to get on the app, it repeatedly says “trying to load”. Just not what I was looking forward to.. ### 1/5 — My family has been doing TC for years now we can’t *2026-03-16, version 13.0.2* TC now requires 17.0 IOS or later, which makes my iPad useless with TC. So now I can’t make a bracket it’s my family. ### 1/5 — Bracketcast used to be perfect *2026-03-16, version 14.0.3* It was so perfect before and now it does not make sense at all ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad’s *2026-02-26, version 14.0.1* Installed on my iPad the the screen just flashes back and forth from the screens. Never stops. Works fine on the iPhone. ### 1/5 — Is the app broken *2026-02-23, version 14.0.0* Just downloaded the app for 2026. I was able to log in but the screen keeps flashing on and off. Something messed up. ### 1/5 — Congratulations! *2025-04-05, version 13.0.2* You have discovered the worst app ever created. Pretty unacceptable when you think about it! ### 2/5 — Decent app with issues *2025-03-29, version 13.0.2* Created two second chance brackets and no idea how to view them. A few other miscellaneous bugs as well ### 3/5 — Pretty good overall. Needs group pics on a game by game basis. *2025-03-28, version 13.0.2* Title says it all. One needs to be able to click on the game and see what other people in the group picked as a winner. It makes each game more exciting and relevant to the group. ### 4/5 — bug found *2025-03-27, version 13.0.2* there is a bug when you switch between men and womens tourneys at the top, the page reverts to the “My Brackets” section even if you are in a different section like News. I don’t think clicking womens tournament at the top shoudl switch which section you are in at the bottom. ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2025-03-23, version 13.0.2* This app doesn’t work in any way this year. Have to use the browser ig ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-22, version 14.0.4* I couldn’t even access it ### 1/5 — Won’t run on older iPads *2026-03-21, version 13.0.3* Requires iPadOS 17 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in 2026 *2026-03-21, version 14.0.4* The app literally will not open without crashing. ### 1/5 — Garb *2026-03-20, version 14.0.3* This is a Garbo rip off of the real March madness app ### 1/5 — Alerts *2026-03-20, version 14.0.3* Alerts are blocked. I can’t toggle any on. No option in the app to turn on? What happened… ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* Horrible load speed, bad UI/UX, trash all around ### 1/5 — Internet problem *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* Won’t let me in and says I’m not connected when I obviously have internet ### 1/5 — Bracketcast *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* Why can’t we see how far other people in the group have teams going in the Bracketcast ### 1/5 — Analysis sucks *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* The guy on the videos doesn’t know ball he just picks a side, doesn’t say anything of value at all and you get to watch an Ad before every clip that’s no different from the last. Not to mention the same ai slop format for every team matchup description that is copy and pasted minus the team names. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-03-19, version 14.0.3* Terrible app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Correcting an old review *2026-03-23, version 14.0.4* This 5 star review intends to correct a previously low review due to a bug. That bug has now been fixed. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-18, version 14.0.3* I hated putting in work to print out brackets and just took too long but then I discovered this app and they make it so much easier and they aren’t money grabbers limited sign in and sorry to get off subject but imma get a perfect bracket this year just watch btw my name is CJ and you will see me on ESPN because I have the perfect bracket. ### 5/5 — IS THIS MARCH? *2026-03-16, version 14.0.3* YUP, THIS IS MARCH. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-16, version 13.0.3* Jbhvhggbhjbuhbvvytvyvyv ### 5/5 — Good App *2025-11-14, version 13.0.3* This is a overall great app. ### 5/5 — Brackets not showing up on multiple devices *2025-03-19, version 13.0.2* The brackets I made on my iPad with the same login are not showing up on my iPhone. Why was this changed? ### 5/5 — Miss seeing how far people had teams going from the bracket cast view *2024-03-23* Props to ESPN for correcting the complaint I had. They added into bracket cast how far a team is going in your bracket when you click on a game. Life saver!! Previous feedback: In the old app layout, you could click on a game and see what you or a member of your group picked AND it would show how far a given bracket had that team going. Is a game outcome going to affect my sweet 16? my final 4? only the round of 32? Now, I have to individually go into every single bracket — my own brackets or my competitors within my group — to answer those questions. That is a waste of time. You’re telling my the “what”, but what about the “so what”? Impacts, people! We care about impacts! I have money and a reputation on the line! Otherwise, app is great. Thank you for your time. ### 5/5 — Update is not helpful for less updated phones *2024-03-19, version 11.0.2* This app totally worked for me last year, but this year the update won’t allow me to do anything in the app without 16.0. It allowed me to download it, but the recommendation to update it keeps popping up and doesn’t allow me to do anything on it. Does anyone know how to get around this? ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-03-08, version 10.0.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Best Bracket *2021-04-06, version 9.1.3* The application has updates after your picks and the software populates each round automatically and shows a players pick/ win and loss. You can fill out a tremendous number of brackets. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
