### 2/5 — Too limited for the price

*2026-03-12, version 1.8*

Does a good job signing up players into teams. However Excel/Sheets can do that, too.
Doesn’t allow to track scores (Excel/Sheets do). Not sure what the real benefit/value of this App is, given that I even payed for it.

### 4/5 — Pour club

*2025-12-30, version 1.8*

J’utilise votre App depuis plusieurs années. Quand on rentre les noms d’une même ligue c’est souvent les mêmes personnes qui jouent l’un vs l’autre. Donc j’entre les joueurs par nom de famille pour un événement et nom de famille pour le même événement pour varier les équipes.
Serait intéressant de pouvoir y ajouter les scores si besoin.
Merci j’adore. Notre club aime bien votre App.  Sylvie

### 3/5 — Number of games

*2025-10-20, version 1.8*

Need to be able to choose number of games wanting to play. Not let the App limit.

### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2025-09-09, version 1.8*

the app is great help and unlike many its not what i call a “data grab “ . My wish is i could print out and post scheduled play courtside .

### 4/5 — Next features

*2025-07-25, version 1.8*

Great apps, I used it every day we play. Should be good to be able to share the results grid ( print and/or send to others)

### 4/5 — Great for social play

*2025-03-15, version 1.8*

Great app to quickly and fairly figure out who’s playing with who. I’d love the ability to edit names once they’ve been entered because if I misspelled one I have to start a whole new league list. And sometimes it’s nice to be able to delete a name if somebody drops out

### 5/5 — Great app with one shortcoming

*2025-02-23, version 1.8*

I’ve been using this app for a small recreational pb group. It’s very easy to use and does a great job of assembling the Round Robins.  My only complaint is that it inconsistently assembles 7, 8 or 9 games.   When it only offers 7 or 8 rounds and the group would like to play a few more that it falls short.   Would be great if there was an option to add more games onto the same session.

The developer responded and described how to add more games.  I don’t know if the option was already available or they tweaked the app but either way,  the outcome is all I hoped for.   It’s now about as simple and perfect as I could possibly hope for.   Fantastic for my group!

### 4/5 — An easy to use App……but

*2025-02-22, version 1.8*

This is a very easy App to use but has limitations. It would be good to be able to schedule in the number of games you expect to play in the given time you have.

### 4/5 — Print option would be nice

*2025-02-11, version 1.8*

As it is we have 16 players and 4 courts, so after we use the app we need to type into a word document to bring to the courts

### 2/5 — No Scoring Option

*2025-02-03, version 1.8*

This app doesn’t allow you to enter final scores for each match which is disappointing for an app you have to pay for.
