## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor leadership

*2025-11-21*

Does not support the gay or trans community. Sanctioned events are run by bigots.

### 1/5 — Recent update messed up the calendar

*2024-08-28*

Calendar used to show league end dates and now only show start dates and then disappear from the calendar after they start. The app before the update was better.

### 2/5 — Calendar busted

*2025-07-05*

Was great but now calendar doesn’t work and that is one of the main things I use it for!  Please fix!

### 3/5 — Can’t leave suggestion

*2026-03-10*

I was going to give four stars and then when I clicked on the “app support” link and filled in the required information, I got an error message that stated “something went wrong, please try again later. So here I am, downgrading to 3 stars.

The suggestion that I wanted to provide was that it would be really nice to have an additional filter option in the calendar section to separate leagues from tournaments. I set my search radius to 150 miles, but I am really not interested in seeing what leagues are out that far.

**Developer response:** This option already exists under the location setting on the calendar page? There’s a “Show Leagues” checkbox. Feel free to email me and I can send you a screenshot or work through it with you. Thanks!

### 3/5 — Calendar Shows Offline

*2026-01-02*

The calendar feature of the app hasn’t worked for months. It just shows a message that it’s offline.

Response to dev question: I’m not searching anything specific. I’m just tapping the calendar icon at the bottom of the UI. It spins for a while, and then a message that reads “Offline - no cached data available” pops up and disappears. The rest of the app works as expected. It happens regardless of whether I’m connected to WiFi or cellular.

**Developer response:** Can you send logs to me? Double tap the IFPA logo on the about page. Thank you

### 3/5 — Calendar Shows Offline

*2025-12-27*

The calendar feature of the app hasn’t worked for months. It just shows a message that it’s offline.

**Developer response:** Can you tell me what location and distance you are searching?

### 4/5 — Good Companion App

*2026-01-10*

There is a bug in the calendar feature, but overall very stable. The bug occurs when you increase the distance from a particular location to over 250 miles. I had this set by accident, but I didn’t notice. As a result, when I tapped the calendar icon, a spinner would appear, and after a little bit, a message that reads “Offline - no cached data available” will appear. When I reduce the distance to under 250 miles, the calendar populates. 

I would like to see the tournament manager incorporated into this in the future, but I can see why that wouldn’t be a high priority feature for most users. 

Overall, great app.

### 5/5 — Great app and support

*2025-07-08*

Great all-around app. And when the calendar stopped working for my area the developer responded quickly to a comment I posted in tiltforums and promptly found the problem (an event that was entered incorrectly, confusing the app)!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-04-03*

It’s very convenient to have easy to access and updated rankings.

### 5/5 — Great app support

*2025-02-13*

Really enjoy the ease of the app to find my stats and local tournaments!

**Developer response:** Yes. Email me at ed@edgiardina.com.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-08-28*

Works great

### 5/5 — Good app. Calendar messed up

*2023-08-13*

I really like this app.
Would be 5 stars if the calendar list scrolled correctly. I used the calendar a ton to see upcoming events in my state. However, the scroll is very janky and can be frustrating to deal with.

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving a review. When you say janky, what do you mean? I’ve debated removing the scroll to event when you click on the map marker, instead popping a tooltip and opening it. We have a thread on tiltforums if you want to engage in a discussion on how I could make it better!

### 5/5 — It is the best app ever because I’m in the app

*2021-12-12*

It has the rating and it is the bestselling app ever and you can find your friend on the app

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-02-03*

Excellent! 

Question - is there a delay in State points/ranking change even after a tournament has been posted for overall points/rank?

**Developer response:** There should not be a delay. However at this time the NACS button on the player detail page is returning 2019 standings. To see 2020 standings you’ll have to navigate to “More” and choose “Championship Series”.
