### 4/5 — Pour club

*2025-12-30*

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*

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

### 4/5 — Next features

*2025-07-25*

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*

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

**Developer response:** You can easily remove a name by swiping it. To edit a name, just delete it and add it back properly.

### 4/5 — An easy to use App……but

*2025-02-22*

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

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-01-14*

Does the job for me. One issue, 8 players on 1 court only gives 6 games, no more pop up despite clicking the green button when a game started. Have to start over.

### 4/5 — Needs option to change court numbers

*2025-01-09*

Love the app but I gave it four stars because it doesn’t allow us to change the court numbers. They’re only set to courts 1,2,3 and so on. When we play RR, we get random courts; 2,5,7,10, etc. depending on what court is available at the club. It can get confusing when host is calling out court assignments. I hope this can be changed. Please and thank you!

### 3/5 — Limited

*2025-01-05, version 1.8*

If there is a way to designate the number of games, I can’t find it.  You can only put players in.  Then the app gives you a limited number of games.

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2024-11-28, version 1.8*

The app works pretty good. There is an issue when there are 8 players and 2 courts. It keeps the same 4 people together on one court the whole time.
When having 3 or more courts the font becomes really small.

### 3/5 — Impossible to completely delete a player from a list

*2024-11-20, version 1.8*

I know I can select or unselect a player that I’ve created but can’t delete completely unless I delete the whole league. Is there any way of just delete 1 player at a time?

### 4/5 — Can not delete names

*2024-10-23*

This is a lifesaver when dealing with fairness of  multiple players. I just wish I could delete names from a list instead of just adding. Swiping does not delete the names. Or given an option.

**Developer response:** Yes swiping does work to delete the names. Make sure you are on the Set Attendance page.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2024-09-21, version 1.8*

I love this app but wish there was a way to lock in some partners while still mixing others. Can this be a future function, pretty please?

### 4/5 — How to change partners?

*2024-07-10*

Just bought this and it could be good. Using it for badminton games. How do I change the pairing if it’s uneven?  Also it would be good if it can distinguished male and female names and the level of play so it can match up better. This one is easier to use and cheaper than others I looked at. Just hoping we can change the pairing. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Perfect App but needs a few things

*2024-06-20*

This is exactly what I was looking for except it needs a few minor features to be perfect.  You need to be able print the games. And text to invite players.

### 3/5 — Need some work

*2024-05-24*

Needs some work. It would be nice if you could adjust players names if spelled incorrect without having to start completely over.  And it would be a nice option to chose the number of games for rotation. Example: 13 players, but choosing an 8 game rotation on 3 courts. Thanks for your consideration

**Developer response:** You can adjust the names by swiping to delete  a name and adding others.  As for the number of games, if you tap the green ball after you complete a game, it will continue to generate games.

### 3/5 — Rotation

*2024-04-21, version 1.8*

This app works great except that it does not seem to mix up who you are playing against if you have more than 8. It also does not make everyone sit out in a two court 10 participant situation.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible, used to be good

*2024-10-26, version 1.8*

This used to be a good app, it no longer probably randomizes and you end up either playing on the bad side of the court every game or with or against the same people. They need to fix this or the app is worthless.

### 1/5 — Had High Hopes

*2024-08-11, version 1.8*

I don’t see the point of this App if you set up matchups but can’t even keep the scores of the matches. What am I missing? Will rate higher if I’m doing something wrong

### 1/5 — Mixed Doubles

*2024-04-28, version 1.8*

I have not been able to manipulate the app to use for mixed doubles round robin play

### 1/5 — You can’t put the score after each game

*2024-04-17, version 1.8*

Useless :-(

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2023-12-12*

With eight players, each group of four repeatedly plays together

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Ohkay at best

*2023-03-23, version 1.6*

App would be amazing if it kept track of wins each person had for the league, then able to group them by wins and have the app random pick partners per group with similar win record.. all this does is randomize people. No tracking of who played how many games either besides having to court when they played/sat out .. Highly recommend update with this feature to see league records for each week they game.. example week 1 bob had 5 wins 1 loss

I wish you can also click into multiple leagues at once   if I have a league of 24 ppl.. 4 courts...
6 ppl per court but want to have them play ppl close to their records randomly so rank  1-6  7-12  13-18  19-24   if I have 4 leagues named court 1 two three four     if im on league "court 4" and click back to go to court 3    I LOSE ALL information on COURT 4   since it takes it as im DONE with court 4 and now looking at court 3 which is a diff league...

### 2/5 — PB Play

*2021-05-07*

Bought this app but was disappointed to see that the functionality is very, very basic.  All you can do is create a group of names, and choose how many courts you have.  It then sets up rounds of play. There is no ability to ask for matchups by ability, gender, team etc, no way to save scores, no way to have people drop out or join a later round

**Developer response:** I’m sorry you are not finding the app useful. You are correct that it does not keep scores or allow for specific match ups. It was made for a drop in type situation. It DOES actually allow for players to arrive late or leave early though. That is one of the key features that makes it better than preprinted schedules.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t keep score

*2020-07-20, version 1.5*

This is great for organizing players. But it would be more helpful if you could assign points and have it calculate winner based on total points after all rounds are played.

### 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 .

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

*2025-02-23*

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!

**Developer response:** If you tap the green ball after each game, the app will continue to produce more and more rounds

### 5/5 — My Go To

*2025-01-29, version 1.8*

I have looked at a few other apps, but I really feel PT checks all my boxes.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-11*

So easy to organize a session.

### 5/5 — Love

*2024-11-29*

This app came at just the right time. I was pulling my hair out trying to organize games and mix up players so everyone would be happy and not be able to exclude some players. 
It was my sanity saver. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-08-26*

This a great app and a lifesaver, being able to add and remove players on the fly. Using names makes it much easier than remembering numbers and the headache when people leave. Is there a way to adjust the number of courts without having to restart the session?

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2024-07-19*

Very useful app.
Currently can’t find a way of editing a player’s name.
Thanks

**Developer response:** You can just swipe to delete the name and add it back correctly

### 5/5 — Perfect for organizing games for a group of players

*2024-03-06*

The title says it all..

### 5/5 — A really useful app

*2024-02-22*

Have found this invaluable for scheduling pairings and games. Currently used for badminton but with pickleball just started it will definitely have a place. The only obvious drawback is that it is limited to my phone - would be great to print out so that the schedule can be visible/ shared for when I am playing or temporarily out of the room.

### 5/5 — Timer

*2024-01-29*

Love this app - would just love for a timer to be incorporated so that I don’t have to switch back and forth.
