### 1/5 — Ancient

*2026-03-20, version 172.22.0*

Guys, could we get an update? This app hasn’t changed in the last five years. How is there no Master bracket? If we want to lift up the women’s basketball, we have to do better.

### 1/5 — What’s the point?

*2026-03-20, version 172.22.0*

This app is pointless. Why wouldn’t you make it just like the men’s app???? It doesn’t even show the schedule of games until the sweet 16, so dumb. I’ll be using the ESPN app instead.

### 1/5 — Disappointing App

*2026-03-19, version 172.20.6*

This app is awful compared to the men’s March Madness app. It’s very disappointing. Use the ESPN tournament challenge app instead.

### 1/5 — I’m begging someone to improve this app

*2026-03-19, version 172.20.6*

Year two of me reviewing this app because it’s actually atrocious. I’m begging someone to make this app better. It’s not even comparable to the men’s app. I’ve never made an app before and even I think I can do a better job.

### 2/5 — Pitiful!

*2026-03-07*

I expect the NCAA women’s March Madness site be comparable to the men’s but it’s not. Each year I think it’s going to improve, each year it’s a disappointment. I don’t understand why ESPN or some sponsor doesn’t get on the ball and put the needed information when it’s needed.

### 1/5 — Please make it useable

*2025-04-09*

Bad. The technology and framework is available in the men’s app. Use it!!!  As others mentioned, before MM started, the app kicked over to the men’s bracket. Um, no… I downloaded WOMENS for a reason. 

There is no option to select teams and during the tournament, it have it calculate your score. Also it was one looooooong scrolling list, not brackets that you can navigate, like the app for men. Now I’m trying to see the results and only get the Final Four? What are you doing? Seriously, apply equality here, my dudes.

### 1/5 — You failed!!!!

*2025-04-01, version 172.17.3*

Couldn’t even fix it this year.    Just give up!!!!

### 2/5 — The Women Deserve Better

*2025-03-30, version 172.17.3*

Some of the most popular & followed college basketball players are women and with the way the game is growing this app is embarrassing. Fans deserve a better experience and tbh the game women’s division deserves more respect. Do better.

### 1/5 — I hope you guys have a terrible day

*2025-03-27, version 172.17.3*

Thanks for letting us know how much you hate women.

### 1/5 — Do Better

*2025-03-24*

This app is atrocious. The men’s app is great, how hard is it to take that algorithm and apply it to this app. Care about your program. It’s so bad it doesn’t even properly fill the screen. It’s like they just made it to where it partially goes to the online site but worse. Do better. The women in NCAA deserve it.
