### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-13, version 20.5.7*

Great

### 1/5 — Charged for trial

*2026-01-13, version 20.5.7*

Like others have said it will offer you 3 days free then charge you the next day.

### 1/5 — deleted app for a reason

*2025-12-01, version 20.5.7*

just no. don’t do it

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-02*

Signed up for the free trial to use for FanDuel and test it’s capabilities for lineups. Couldn’t upload the csv file, so I looked into why. I had everything set correctly, right app (FanDuel), right game set, right games and week. Then I figured it out after looking at several players. The salary amounts were off, players set to the wrong teams, completely unusable. Find a different lineup builder.

### 4/5 — Great optimal

*2025-02-18*

Great optimal for the NBA especially. Went on vacation from my winnings last season and I’m doing it again this season.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-01-16, version 20.2.7*

Best optimizer

### 1/5 — Not good at all

*2024-11-22, version 20.2.7*

The app is very misleading I had a 3 day trial and was charged 25.00 on 3rd day . I tried to get a refund and by the fifth day I went ahead and used it . If you play smaller individual games or 3-5 player games you are going against the same players every night . It’s also evident the optimizer has a few players in every lineup that will not get near their scoring value. Don’t bother with app after free trial it will only cost you more money in the long run. 

Read reviews BEFORE you download you won’t get a refund after 3 days of free trial!

### 1/5 — Not enough tools for line up optimization

*2024-09-21, version 20.2.7*

Same line ups with no diversity

### 1/5 — No directions for new players

*2024-09-06, version 20.2.7*

I don’t know how to use your optimizer or what the settings mean

### 5/5 — So far amazing…

*2024-06-07*

I honestly have used many different lineup optimizers and I felt as if they were basically all the same.  This one is exceptional.  It’s easy to use and keeps me winning.  This creator has an algorithm that is the best. I hate to brag about it because it will take way my edge…but I gotta give props where props are due.
