Nothing to lose it’s all free to play and if you think you have what it takes, you can buy some awesome packs and try and touch up some of the big names, even better if there’s a player you want, you can trade for it on the market as well and if there’s a player you’ve got, put them up for sale/trade/auction (yes you can auction if your players too).

It has it all!! Packs, rare 1/1 player cards, an easy to navigate marketplace and app. All makes for a well finished game and experience!! ### 5/5 — The best fantasy footy game! *2025-03-19* Awesome concept and so much fun to play! Great community and the developer's are always there to answer questions quickly. Lots of giveaways and lots of competitions. Highly recommend giving game day squad a go! **Developer response:** Thanks so much! We're stoked you're loving GameDay Squad 🙌 Appreciate the support! ### 5/5 — Great game. Lots of fun *2025-03-17, version 1.7.5* Love it. Keeping your players make it so much better. You can build for years to come. Good prices as well ### 5/5 — Game Day Review!! *2025-03-14, version 1.7.5* The Game Day app is a fantastic tool for sports fans, offering an intuitive interface that makes it easy to track schedules, scores, and news updates.The app also features detailed statistics and a community aspect for fans to connect, making it a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their game day excitement. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Fun new AFL Fantasy game! *2025-03-13* Really enjoying GameDay Squad so far, the app itself is really easy to use, and the concepts of the game are super easy to pick up! Have loved starting my little collection so far but very keen to expand on that across the footy season! **Developer response:** Thank you for the awesome review! 🙌 We're so glad you're enjoying GameDay Squad and building your collection. There’s plenty more excitement coming this footy season — we can’t wait to see your squad grow! 🏆🔥 ### 5/5 — Less stressful fantasy competition *2025-03-13* Really enjoying this Fantasy comp, less stressful than SC/AFL fantasy, no need to keep track of your salary cap in 2 of 4 available competitions, or how many trades u have used or having to worry about if your 2 game rookie gets named for game 3. Just select the best players u have for each line and away you go, you can also trade for other player cards if your short a card you require. Can play for free or spend to have a chance and batter prize pools. Overall if you enjoy fantasy competitions give this one a go. **Developer response:** Thank you for the fantastic review! 🙌 We're so glad you’re enjoying the more relaxed vibe of GSD and the flexibility in team building and trading. Whether you play for free or aim for the bigger prize pools, we’re thrilled to have you on board.

Admin is very responsive. ### 5/5 — Bang for your buck *2025-03-08* Been playing fantasy sports for over a decade. Happy I found GameDay, it is that perfect mix of free to play vs pay to play, 4x competitions cater for all player types. The whales won’t stop you having fun. Great community too, join their discord! **Developer response:** Thanks for the awesome review! 🙌 Glad you’re enjoying the balance and the community. See you in the competitions! 🔥💪 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You will get ripped off!!! *2024-08-03, version 1.5.8* You’ll have to spend 1000s of dollars to even have a chance at even winning little prize money. Even if you do win you’ll have trouble trying to receive your winnings. If you think you can trade your way to a good lineup think again because their trade market system is full of guys that want way more value than what you’re even willing to trade for. You’ll have to pay 100s for one decent diamond player and you still won’t even be close. Most of all the prize and special cards are being hoarded by the few early players that got in when the game was new and there was less competition. So they’re really the only winners. This platform doesn’t even have live scoring. So there’s no real way to see if scoring is even accurate. You just have to trust their competence. When you ask them for the stat sheet they won’t even let you look at it or even send it to you. The packs you buy will be full of players you can’t even use because half the players they pack don’t even get to play. Therefore they won’t score. They tried to make a starter comp for new players but that’s been invaded and over run by players that have already won prize cards and prize money that can trade for all the cards they need. For all the money this app draws in there seems to be very little being put into innovating this concept and how to make this app run smoother and most importantly fair for everyone to play. The other thing is, is that there seems to be players in this app that look to have an interest or a stake in this app that actually play. It just seems really odd. ### 2/5 — Customer support *2026-08-28, version 2.3.9* I lost my account which I spent quite a bit of money on and now can’t get it back. Customer support simply don’t respond to requests and emails. One response did get a return email but was not helpful. Really disappointed as it was a good app ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2024-06-09, version 1.5.3* Would be a lot better if cards actually had pictures of players and stats. Live scores like data apps do would enhance user experience. You really have to pay to score well, making your competitive edge solely relying on how much money you put in. Good idea terrible execution. ### 2/5 — Not Good *2024-06-01, version 1.5.2* If you get bad players from the starter packs it’s almost impossible to improve your squad as a FTP player. They essentially force you into spending money on the game. ### 2/5 — Won’t open after working *2023-10-02* Has been working for some time but today it won’t open launches but shuts down although appears to be in the background, I have the latest version and was working so not sure why it has stopped. Very disappointed, perhaps iPhone 6 is too old to run the app? ### 4/5 — Good fun if you have the money *2026-02-26* I really like the concept of GDS. although it’s hard to go against the people who have invested 10k or more into the game I still enjoy putting teams together and competing each week. Not a bad game to play if you have the funds of course. ### 4/5 — !! *2025-04-15, version 1.7.8* App is exciting ### 5/5 — Most exciting fantasy sports app *2026-04-10* GDS is the most exciting and thrilling fantasy sports game out there. Heaps of prizes and competitions to compete in. And gives you a good starting block so you can join at anytime and not feel like you’re left behind or never have a chance to win! Will play for a long time ### 5/5 — Fantastic Concept *2026-02-22, version 2.3.2* Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Good fun *2026-02-18, version 2.3.2* Love the dynasty aspect. Great fun ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent fun *2026-02-10, version 2.3.1* Good game and good people playing. Enjoying it more than SuperCoach already. ### 5/5 — Fantasy with a difference *2026-02-08, version 2.3.1* It’s like collecting dirty cards when i was a kid with the added fun of playing a fantasy game. Brilliant concept and nice to have some thing so stress free. ### 5/5 — Great way to play fantasy *2026-02-08, version 2.3.1* Great way to play fantasy sport! Great way to own a dynasty. Sports to keep you busy all year round. Very supporting community ### 5/5 — A unique and rewarding fantasy sports format! *2026-01-19* I have found this fantasy format one of my favourite by far. It rewards activity and engagement and provides a sense of satisfaction through the different players you can pack, sell, trade and auction on the platform. I thoroughly recommend this fantasy format to anyone looking to branch out! ### 5/5 — Addicting! *2026-01-13, version 1.9.3* If you like Supercoach or Fantasy you’ll love this. Addicting spin on fantasy sports ### 5/5 — Fantasy Sports ++ *2026-01-12, version 1.9.3* Great app. A fun and easy way of playing fantasy sports that is different to the standard games on offer. ### 5/5 — Fun with great community *2025-10-16* Have really enjoyed getting into Gameday Squad , fun twist on fantasy with a number of different sports available. The community on the discord is very helpful and good as well. I recommend anyone who is a fan of fantasy sports to give it a try! **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the awesome review. Great to hear you are enjoying the fantasy twist across multiple sports and getting involved with the Discord community. The coaches on there really make it something special.
