### 4/5 — It’s good but one thing

*2024-01-06*

Everything about the game is good maybe change stuff like you have to add real money in order to do stuff and maybe add rosters or something pretty cool game tho.

### 4/5 — Cool game, but …

*2023-11-28*

… even when you get the hang of passing and become accurate, the limitation to success is tied to the routes you are presented. If your game has more poor routes than good ones you can only score so much, and the ability to advance in tournaments becomes as much luck as capability.

### 4/5 — Review

*2023-05-02*

Is fun and very addictive to play. The option get $10 minimum is frustrating and not being able to deposit at least 5 makes my game play not as much as I would like to.

### 4/5 — Fun game that needs some serious improvements

*2023-03-07*

So playing this game is pretty fun and competitive, but there’s a few things lacking that the developers need to work on. The first one being that the receivers after they catch the ball don’t always take the most sensible route to avoid tackles, it’s really just the most basic movements. Another thing is the defense always catches the wide receiver, even if they are significantly behind them, which is pretty unrealistic. Where you need to throw the ball to get in A rating for the pass really varies too much and doesn’t line up with actual physics a lot of the time. The commentary is more annoying than helpful or entertaining- hearing a voice say that he may go all the way and then having him getting tackled 70 yards from the Endzone makes no sense. If those things were worked on, this could be a top game.

### 1/5 — Stole my money

*2023-12-22*

Stay away the odds are already rigged against the player worse than a casino if you’re gonna play play for fun but after them stealing my money, I refuse to use any skillz app they’re not on this people and I have the proof if I get in a picture but they won’t let me upload pictures they don’t wanna be exposed

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-10-25*

Got locked out of my account it never asked me for an email when creating an account when I deposited money into my account to start playing it asked for my location so I gave it and then the app crashed when I went to go log back in my account was gone with my money and no way to access it or call anybody even tho I put my phone number in I want my money back

### 1/5 — App glitches in game

*2023-10-23*

I have lost about 50 dollars on this app due to the game glitching sometimes the screen freezes only shows offense then comes back with play already started than other times it slows downs then speeds up during play causing sacks WOULD NOT RECOMMEND also support never wants to help stay away

### 1/5 — No money returned

*2023-06-09*

I’ve played 10 .60cent entry fee games and have yet to receive any awards. I haven’t lost either. You play a “season” game then have to wait however long for some other player to challenge your score. Until somebody challenges you don’t get any payout. My entry fee shouldn’t be taken out of my total until it’s confirmed a win or loss. Cause now my balance is 0 dollars even though I technically haven’t lost any games. Just in waiting limbo.

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2023-01-21, version 2.22*

This game is a terrible game because you can not play without buying something.

### 1/5 — WAS enjoyable

*2022-11-18, version 2.12*

How are you going to change up the entire routes? no longer enjoyable when you’ve been practicing pre update

### 1/5 — Not fun. Gameplay changed with update.

*2022-10-29, version 2.09*

I love the games for money, makes it very competitive. They changed it from precision passing to just lining it up your pass on their rout. Game isn’t fun anymore in my opinion.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2022-10-23, version 2.09*

This game makes me want to throw my phone into a wall. Terrible game.

### 1/5 — Scam AVOID

*2022-04-11, version 1.15*

Literally deposited 10$ to play online and the mode isn’t even available, what a joke

### 2/5 — It’s fun for a little

*2023-06-06*

Fun game for a little but gets frustrating pretty easy. Routes are terrible and very repetitive, if you need a long route, it gives you a short route. Defenders seem to teleport and your receivers run straight at them. If we could pick routes or if they just added more it would make it fun again. The little competition they do to earn credits seem rigged. Once you get close to top 3 it makes sure you lose with bad routes and bad passing grades. Must have to add real money to have fun on this.

### 5/5 — Crash crash crash

*2023-08-02*

Developers-
Since your last update, the game is crashing. before it even starts. this is not just happening to me. It is happening to literally every single player that I play and I’m at the top of the scale bracket. I’m CONSTANTLY seeing “ABORTED” against people I play, and it’s constantly happening to me. To the point where we’re all hesitant to even play anymore because Skillz isn’t refunding our entry fees. 

Please help. Your game is so good, but something is up since the update

**Developer response:** Thanks for your great feedback! We love our games too and are excited for more updates coming soon.

### 5/5 — me

*2023-07-29*

I wish the receiver could stiff arm or some run faster

**Developer response:** Thanks for your great feedback! We love our games too and are excited for more updates coming soon.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2023-06-24*

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

I’m adding to my original review, because this app
is worth it. I’m a former overachieving college QB who did NOT attend class much, I was dead set on earning a bachelor’s, master’s AND doctorate in PLAYING QUARTERBACK. Long story short, I chose to experience something new because I was offered it by the coolest of dudes. Wanting to fit in, I continued and it changed me in many ways. After my 3rd year as QB1, I quit the team and still regret it 24 years later. 
This app has been part of a significantly positive time in my life, all in the same week I enrolled in school to finally finish my degree, landed a job who will work around school AND stumbled upon QB Shootout! I’m still without residence, I’m fresh off my rock bottom and finding my own way without assistance. But I’m HAPPY. I’m OPTIMISTIC. I’m MOTIVATED. I’m going to live out the GREATEST comeback of all time and I’m passionate about the things that help me focus on that. Being a college QB was the single most awesome thing I’ve ever done. It was a full time job that I chose to work more “overtime” than any company would allow one to work. There’s no feeling like dropping back, going thru reads, standing in the pocket and delivering a TOUCHDOWN STRIKE while taking a shot in the mouth by a guy twice my size. Ultimately, this app allows me to reminisce, continue to work on my accuracy and spend time doing what I love. 

THANK YOU.
