There is no reason why matches are and ratings are not updated in real time. It takes several days after matches have been played before the information becomes available in the app. I would not recommend this app. And don’t pay for the subscription there is really no point. Also I’ve contacted the support team multiple times and never received a response. ### 1/5 — iPhone issues *2023-04-27, version 2.5.1* Does not work on my iPhone11. Just a black screen with no way to exit cleanly. I have to delete the app & reinstall to see anything. Every time. ### 1/5 — Scam *2023-04-13, version 2.5.1* They rip people off. Don’t pay for this app. If they get mad at your TD, you won’t be updated. Also they won’t work with them to correct any issues. ### 1/5 — They want support but provide no support *2022-11-13, version 2.5.1* The webpage has a scam sign up form and some fraudulent add takes your credit card info and starts $2.99 charges and there is no way to sign up in this app ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2022-09-21, version 2.5.1* What use an app that you have to pay a subscription fee. Other pool leagues provide apps which shows you your stats all you pay is annual league fee. Very disappointed that I’m in a league using this app and I’m unable to see my stats or other people I will be playing with. ### 3/5 — Support *2022-05-20, version 2.5.1* I'm paid for until the end of the month (I have the receipt) I can no longer access my matches. Is there anyone who could assist? Thanks! ### 1/5 — What is going on?! *2022-05-18, version 2.5.1* The app is glitched out and won’t load up properly… you can’t do anything on it anymore…. Can’t get past a white screen… hello???? Where are the devs? Update… something?? Yikes… ### 1/5 — Crashes. *2022-05-12, version 2.5.1* App is up to date, but won’t show any info. ### 1/5 — Not functioning *2022-05-01* App was working ok for a while. Now screen is grey and I can’t use any of the functions. ### 1/5 — Why? *2022-03-26, version 2.4.0* Really no point to signing up for an account if there is no button visible to accept my email and password. I guess the only way to make this better is to have a ‘zero stars’ option. ### 1/5 — Absolutely mess *2022-02-06, version 2.4.0* Cant find my name in the ratings. Long in on the website and everything pulls up. Makes no sense. ### 1/5 — Very Slow Fargo Score Update *2022-01-19* I’m not very pleased with this app. It shouldn’t take weeks to update someone’s Fargo Rating. I’ve been using this for weeks now playing in a 10-ball league and there still hasn’t been any updates to my Fargo Rating. Also you can mark your favorite team (usually the team you are playing for) however it shows a solid gray screen and nothing populates. Someone please resolve these issues. ### 3/5 — Blank Stats *2022-01-15* The app works great for the most part and would be perfect if only one could view their stats. The stats part shows at the beginning of a league season then goes blank for the rest of the season. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Network is unavailable *2021-11-21* Cannot log in. Says record found but when trying to log in, it says network is unavailable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — can’t search *2025-10-29* the search feature is not working ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-07-10* The app is just not working at all for me. Not able to do anything on the app ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2025-06-10* The app that NEVER responds when you need it. GARBAGE! ### 1/5 — Password problems *2025-05-19* I have tried for numerous times to give this app a chance. I can never log in. I set a password and it accepts it. Then I go to log in only to be told my password is incorrect. So I let my phone pick a password and saved it to my phone. Go into the app and yep you guessed it, incorrect password. This has been happening for at least 5 years. No fixes. I am beginning to think they don’t care. ### 1/5 — Mike Davis *2025-03-23* I can’t even get into this app!!!! ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2025-02-08* After downloading I Select the app and the FR Logo pops up and that’s it. App never opens! ### 1/5 — AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF MY SUBSCRIPTION *2025-01-07* It seems there no option for deactivating your subscription. which is non existing, poor customer support. no response. ### 1/5 — To the league director *2024-11-07* Why can’t I sign in with my original password and email I stopped playing in the league for awhile then tried to get back in no luck tired of trying ### 1/5 — Can’t sign in *2024-06-21* I put in my email and password on my iphone and the submit button or whatever it is goes below where I can click on it to sign in. Would be happy to give a good review if this gets fixed. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Is FargoRate even needed? *2023-06-22, version 2.5.2* I’ve tried with an open mind for some time. With Matchroom pool and all professional pool events having no use for FargoRate. I’m not sure as an amateur we need FargoRate either. Hmmmm ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-02-18* Love the app. It’s easy to use and makes tournaments and league play easy. ### 5/5 — Works great *2024-11-28* This works great on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I honestly don’t see why there are so many negative reviews ### 5/5 — Best pool player rating system *2021-09-01, version 2.4.0* There is no rating system in the world with the depth of knowledge and accuracy of FargoRate. If you want pool to grow, support FargoRate and this App. ### 5/5 — Great mobile access to Fargo data. *2020-02-11* Overall a very handy APP to gain mobile access to the huge Fargorate database and Fairmatch charts. A valuable tool for any serious pool player. Strongly recommend. ### 5/5 — Works great *2019-09-02* This app does what its intended to do. Give you and your opponents fargo rate. You can then use this to determine handicap. Also, you can see upcoming matches and your history. Not sure why someone rated it one star. He must of had a bad game that day. ### 5/5 — This is awesome *2019-04-22, version 1.1* People constantly ask how or why they are rated this or that. Pay the 12.99 a year (pennies a day) and you can see your match history, look up top shooters in each city,state, and country. I haven’t even dug in yet and I’m loving it. ### 4/5 — Fargorate *2026-07-10* Good but not accurate and fake results ### 4/5 — Works we *2025-01-27* Good app, great overall program. Name search can be a bit better. Sometimes I’ll search for a last name and doesn’t find it til I put in full name for example, but this seems to have gotten better ### 4/5 — Great initial offering *2019-04-20* I like the list of previously played games/matches. I like being able to look up and “favorite” my friends and mentors. As a tournament director it’s important to me to be able to quickly look up player ratings, especially for those who are unknown to me. This is another step in the right direction for that purpose. ### 3/5 — Getting better *2025-11-02* Manual would help. Trying to figure all the text & stats. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
