### 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.

### 2/5 — Worthless

*2022-12-17*

I was a little harsh in my original review so my apologies! I have gone ahead and toned it down a bit. 

I was really optimistic about using this optimizer. Love the interface. Having the ability to export lineups to a CSV is a huge benefit. 

 Suggestions:

Your build settings need improvement. 
Add player news and notes. 
Provide projected ownership. 
More detailed player performance stats from previous matchups(And who their opponent was). Yes, we can look up the previous games ourselves but having it all in one app is key. Especially for a paid subscription. 
This app has such great potential and would love to see it grow.

**Developer response:** We have 2 different projection options in the app. (1) Rotowire and (2) Optimal DFS. The latter is powered by player projection lines from Sportsbooks. e.g. if Lebron James has an O/U 27 points -110 on the both sides, we’ll have him projected for 27 points. 

Which projections were you using?

Send us an email to jake@betplusev.com and we can help answer any questions in regard to the projections or app in general.

### 3/5 — No optimization

*2021-10-04*

When trying to get players on a single game, after clicking on optimize I receive a notice that states:  NO LINEUPS    Your settings are to strict.  Adjust your locks and exclusions and try again.   What does this mean and where do you do these things it’s asking ???

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. As mentioned in our in-app notification system, this was a temporary issue with one of the operators APIs and is now resolved.

### 3/5 — Great app, false advertisement

*2021-02-25*

I used the free 3-day trial of this app, and I liked it a lot. It has a great interface, solid real-time projections, and nice features. When my free trial was up, I looked at the price options and decided paying for a subscription wasn’t really for me. However, when I backed out it offered me a free trial again, and I was happy to accept. Instead of giving me another free trial, it gave me a month membership and charged me full price without my consent. Please keep this in mind so the same thing doesn’t happen to you.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! A single user is only allowed to use the 3-day free trial one time. Please reach out to us at optimal.dfs@gmail.com and we’ll try to resolve your issue.

### 5/5 — Enjoy DFS with Less Headaches

*2021-01-14*

We all know how Stressful DFS can be on the daily. Following news, injury reports, latest news, which you have to keep up with consistently to stay on top. I always been an avid sports fan, and this app has been a Blessing in Disguise. I’ve been winning more consistently! Worth the subscription IMO

**Developer response:** Wow! Thank you for this 5 star review!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Great app!!’

*2021-01-12, version 8.9.6*

Could y’all add league of legends “lol”

### 5/5 — Fastest fantasy news app

*2020-11-22*

Fastest fantasy news app on the market!

**Developer response:** 🏆 Thank you for your review!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Know Rules

*2020-10-14*

Anyone using DFS sites understands you have team limits...DraftKings, you can’t use more than 5 batters from the same team...etc. this optimizer wants to stack an entire teams lineup into your your line up...impossible. Need to be able to filter how many players you want from any given team or adjust algorithm to understand DFS site rules.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback.  We are well aware of the lineup rules for both DraftKings and FanDuel.  Our algorithms take them into account.  If you believe you found an issue with the application, please reach out to optimal.dfs@gmail.com with further information.  We’d love to look into this for you.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2020-09-28*

Wish I could export my made lineups into my draft Kings

**Developer response:** You can with the export to csv feature!  Send us an email to optimal.dfs@gmail.com if you’d like a demo.

### 5/5 — Great Content

*2020-09-20*

They nail it each week with analysis and picks. Great content. Worth it!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind note!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2024-01-30, version 20.2.5*

This app does not allow you to optimize lineups for SuperDraft just FanDuel and DraftKings.

### 1/5 — I couldn’t give it Zero stars

*2024-01-27, version 20.2.5*

I tried to use the app and realized it wasn’t free and they gave me a 3 day trial and I down graded my account manually back to the free account on the same day. Fast forward a week later and you all take $25.00 that Apple will not refund. I can provide proof that I downgraded the account on the same day I signed up for the free trial but somehow you’ll still took my $25.00. Please fix

Edit: Ive read 2 previous reviews where both customers had the same problem and that was 2 years ago. The Developers/Creators are aware of this problem but are making no efforts to fix this. please read these reviews and don’t download unless you’re ready to pay $25 a month without consent.

### 1/5 — Do not recommend

*2023-05-04*

Do not recommend this app. I’ve cancel way before the trial ended and they keep trying to charge my card for $20 and there is no way to stop it. This app do not give you even half of the resources as others… again look elsewhere

**Developer response:** We don’t have access to or the ability to charge your credit card. All billing and payments are handled through Apple. 

Send us an email to support@betplusev.com if you need further direction.

### 1/5 — Don’t believe these fake reviews

*2021-03-04*

I’ve been using this for quite some time now and it’s like they want you to place at the very bottom just so you can say “I won” but there’s something fishy about this app and it’s $20 a month. Better off betting one number at roulette then using this app if you want to actually win. It’s all rigged.

**Developer response:** Yes, monthly is one of the subscription options. We are unable to decipher the rest of your comments. Email us at optimal.dfs@gmail.com so we can help resolve your issues.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-13, version 20.5.7*

Great

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-01-16, version 20.2.7*

Best optimizer

### 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.

### 5/5 — Great value optimizer

*2023-10-30*

There might be more expensive DFS sites/tools/apps out there, but this one has helped me win a few times…wish it also had NHL/PGA/MMA/NASCAR…

### 5/5 — Dfs

*2022-12-31*

Loving the app, hopefully they can add NHL!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind note and feedback! We’re always considering adding new sports. NHL is next on our list.

### 5/5 — Really enjoy it

*2022-09-01*

I really enjoy the app, and it helps with strategy and prediction. I just wish they had College football .

**Developer response:** Appreciate this review and the feedback! We’re always evaluating onboarding new sports.

### 5/5 — Worth whatever they want

*2021-12-04*

See above. Buy app and cash. Simple

**Developer response:** Wow 🙌🙌🙌

### 5/5 — Charged for a one month before my 3 day trial was up

*2021-11-08, version 12.0.48*

I think the app is cool, but what’s not cool is being charged without my consent for a full one month membership when I canceled my 3 day trial way before the 72 hour period… be better than that

**Developer response:** Thank you. Apple controls the billing process. We have no control over when you’re charged. Please email us the details and we’ll see if we can point you in the right direction.

### 5/5 — Customer support

*2021-07-08*

My previous review caught the attention and support came through with flying colors to fix my issues. It turned out to not even be their fault but that of apple. The cs rep I dealt with today was beyond amazing and very helpful and resolved my issues.

**Developer response:** Thank you !!! 🙏🙏🙏

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-03-26, version 10.3.2*

Great app for NBA DFS
