### 5/5 — Cheaper than calling your bookie, and twice as fun

*2010-09-18*

This game is awesome for people who love sports but need that little something extra to make the game matter. Plus, you get to make fun of Eagles fans, which is a huge bonus. 

What a great way to play along.

### 1/5 — Waste of space

*2010-09-15*

Downloaded this app, tried to locate a game, only to find out you have to wait until game time to participate. Promptly deleted it. Yahoo Sportacular is a much better sports app.

### 5/5 — genius

*2010-09-14*

great way to get fans together and support favorite teams. Also lots of fun for heckling the other team.

Great way to pass time in the bar or at work! My issues were resolved quickly thru the oleboo website. No problems anymore :) im not a big sports fan, baseball only really, but today i got excited about a russian tennis match! Thats how awesome oleboo is!

### 5/5 — OLE! OLE! OLE!

*2010-09-09*

Finally a fun way to interact with other sports fans while following my fav teams! This app just makes it so much more enjoyable to sit in front of my TV and watch sport. Even my kids are now into it and we now watch games together and I let them Boo and Ole! 
It is simple, fun and exciting to use. OLE guys!

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2010-09-05*

This is a must have for sports fans!  I was watching the Giants game on tv, Uribe hits a 2 run homer for the comeback win over the Dodgers, and Oleboo gave me a way to express my excitement and joy over that play!  Great fun!

### 5/5 — Great fun way to share sports games

*2010-09-04*

Love it. It's easy to use, and adds social fun to sports.

### 1/5 — Have to sign on with FB

*2010-09-04*

Don't like the fact that I not only have to sign on with FB to use it, but have to allow all kinds of access to FB. ie allow it to access it even when I'm not signed on. That's a BOO right there.

### 5/5 — Finally a way to share the fun with friends while watching sports on TV!

*2010-08-26*

Sports to me is all about sharing emotions. For the times you can't be in the stadium, this is the best way to share in real time applauds or disgust about games.
