While it seems the goal was to streamline the UI, it actually makes the app more complicated and less intuitive. I really miss the simplicity of the previous version and having easy access to the articles. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback about the latest update. We’re sorry if the changes weren’t what you expected. Our team is reviewing user input and will continue making improvements in future releases. ### 2/5 — Good insights, but the app is frustrating *2025-09-06* I really enjoy reading the rationales and breakdowns for games — the content is solid and helpful. Unfortunately, the app itself is very unreliable. It crashes often, runs slow, and sometimes won’t load at all. It makes it tough to actually enjoy the analysis when the app doesn’t function smoothly. If the developers can fix the performance issues, this could be a great go-to app. **Developer response:** We’re sorry you’ve experienced performance issues. We have worked to improve stability on the app and it should be running much smoother now! ### 2/5 — Solid App *2025-05-06* I really like reading the ‘Reasoning’ drop downs, it’s usually pretty accurate. Using that information a person can that that and make additional bets accordingly. My biggest gripe is when I check the app early in the morning. Sometimes on the predictions, ’today’ means today and sometimes ‘today’ means yesterday. This is especially confusing during baseball season, games everyday - you can’t just simply look at a schedule to verify the opponent because of the 3 and 4 game series they play. Please make the changes to display a day and date with the predictions and I would gladly update the my 2 of 5 stars rating. ### 4/5 — I like the details about the picks even +350 ones. *2025-02-24* I like this app so far, good reasons behind some of the picks they have. At first I was like, these boys don’t know what they are talking about. Then I read the description/ reason for those picks and it’s a fair and detailed explanation. I seen a few reviews saying they have bad picks and they make people lose. At the end of the day you need to do your research and pick what you feel is best. When you take picks from other recommendations you will always blame them. You don’t have to pick it. Don’t blame anyone else for you clicking a pick and losing money. ### 2/5 — Clowns *2024-04-03, version 2.4.0* These fools don’t know nada ### 2/5 — Bad picks *2023-11-03, version 2.4.0* They miss easy bets by far, they swung blind with there decision makings! ### 4/5 — Add NCAA Basketball Nightly!!!!! *2023-10-22* This is a fun app to watch, it’s interesting to see users picks across multiple sports. Their website can give you more info and search options as well. They are also trying to add player props which over time I hope picks up some momentum, I just think several users don’t even realize it’s there. MY BIGGEST REQUEST!!!! Please add NCAA basketball throughout the season and not just March Madness - PLEASE!!!! I’d also be interested in if they’d add more football games instead of just the top 25. That would be really fun. Pickwatch - do this before another competitor does it!!! ### 2/5 — ? *2023-03-30, version 1.34.0* Don’t think I’ve gotten a single one of their “picks” to hit. Better off closing eyes and guessing. ### 1/5 — Don’t follow college sports *2023-02-23, version 1.34.0* I’m a college sports guy… if they put up 3 stars bet against it. That’s all. ### 2/5 — Don’t Take Their Advice *2023-02-02, version 1.34.0* They provide good information, but their picks are terrible. ### 2/5 — It’s Free *2023-01-14, version 1.34.0* Just remember you get what you pay for. Not very reliable. ### 3/5 — Meh.. *2023-01-05* So I actually wanted to a do a reviews for one solid reason. When they so post the parlays and send out notifications of win. They aren’t all win. I got an notification that they are 6-2 with parlays/picks or that last nights parlay hit but when I went to my bet slips for the exact parlays they say they won. They definitely weren’t wins. So there’s my false stats I feel going in. I’ve been using the app for at least a year. I’ve had a few wins, way more lost just following there picks. I have SportsLine and action as well. I study the info and picks across the board to see what’s valuable, valid and similar between the bunch. Use at own risk. ### 1/5 — Just bad *2023-01-04, version 1.34.0* I would have done better betting against their picks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not tail *2026-03-12, version 3.0.9* These guys are horrible at getting games right. There’s a reason why they don’t share their success percentage, because they are literally less than 50% accurate. Tailed them for 6 months and lost 5k . Stay away. ### 1/5 — If it’s not broken don’t fix it *2025-12-12, version 3.0.9* Latest update has ruined the app👎🏿 ### 1/5 — Don’t use *2025-09-20, version 3.0.5* you used to not have to sign in. Now they want you to create an account and then share your information with data brokers. Disappointing turn. ### 1/5 — Restricted location *2024-02-09, version 2.4.0* How is Mexico a restricted location, you can bet all over the country ### 1/5 — Stay away *2024-01-25, version 2.4.0* Horrible best bets written by AI instead of real people. Better to use a paid service where you know you are getting info from a real person and not a chat bot ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2023-12-30, version 2.4.0* They’re lucky to get 20% of their picks correct. I would recommend picking opposite of their “Best Bets” unless you want to lose. ### 1/5 — Brutal App. Bad pick and lie about winners *2023-10-15, version 2.3.2* Used their picks and parlays. They miss their “best bets” more then they hit but claim they are winning more then they really are. I have used parlays and props picks and the next day they will be like “bang hit these parlays and went 6-2” or something like that and I’ll go back and look and they are all losers. Right now as I write this they are 0-5 on best bets for college football. It’s 10/14/23. Bet I see a post about how awesome they are tomorrow. Do not use. ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-10-06* This app has lost me more then winning so I change slot of what they say and I started winning or doing the opposite of what they say and I’ll win this app is by far terrible for a stats are fake the dates are wrong all the time like it says mlb for todays picks today is October 6th it says bets for oct 7th but all the actuall starting pictures start today not tomorrow this is crazy I’m starting to realize this fake app wow this is crazy use at own risk !!! ### 1/5 — Don’t Use *2023-09-23, version 2.3.2* Is it a good functioning app? Yes. To bad the content is garbage. The only reason to use these suggestions is if you bet against them. Wrong WAY more times than right. ### 1/5 — Best Losing Bets *2023-04-04, version 1.34.0* Their “Best Bets” are literally always losers. Best way to use this app is to see who they pick and go pick the exact opposite it’s very profitable that way ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2025-12-19, version 3.0.9* I’m new to this site but I love the best bet predictions always accurate ### 5/5 — Love the app refresh *2025-09-10* The new app interface is a lot cleaner and more interactive. I’ve already hit a couple of NFL parlays since I started tailing the picks too! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and congrats on your wins! We’re really glad you’re enjoying the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome App Updates *2025-09-08* They recently updated their app and have done a complete 180. The new design is a lot easier to navigate & feels a lot better in every aspect. Picks can be hot and cold, but there are plenty of handicappers worth following. **Developer response:** We're happy to hear that you're enjoying the new app update! Thanks for being a part of the Pickswise community! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-04-19* I love how they break down why they choose who they choose they have made me a lot of money especially when I tweak with they picks they give me ### 5/5 — Great picks, especially for Football *2023-11-16, version 2.4.0* As always with betting, you gotta combine picks with your own research. The confidence 3-star system is very smart. I’ve won more often than I’ve lost thanks to PicksWise. I recommend it as a tool to use for sure (but not the ONLY tool…be smart. Diversify.) The football picks, both pro and college, are on point. I like making parlays with pickswise picks, but if they say Cowboys ML, I take Cowboys +10.5 for safety. ### 5/5 — Very good app *2023-04-02* I have been using this for the past week and I have found their pics, especially the best bets pics to be great. I don’t fully follow the recommendation, maybe instead of the. Point spread that I will go with the money line bet. Their reasoning is very insightful. Let’s face it, it’s free and no one is ever 100% right but they have been about 70% right for me. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-01-13, version 1.34.0* Just pick the opposite of whatever these clowns say and you’ll have a good bet lined up. ### 5/5 — Solid intel most of the time *2022-10-27* This app has very good information, but like any pick service it should not be blindly followed. Its funny to me hearing all the chumps on here whining about the picks not hitting 100% of the time. This app should be used as a source of information, and anybody who knows anything AT ALL about sports wagering knows the best team doesn't always cover. Do your homework - look at trends, matchups, weather - everything. Try to identify advantages and wager accordingly. Pickswise is a useful tool in that process. **Developer response:** We appreciate your review and understanding! Please don't hesitate to reach out at contact@pickswise.com if you have any questions about our analysis or tools. ### 5/5 — You get what you pay for!! *2022-10-18* This app is what it is: free gambling advice. Have they had losers? Sure? Have they had winners? Most definitely. I love the analysis and star system. Typically their three star bets are pretty darn good. As the stars decrease so too does their success. But they’ve hit big for me on NHL and Euro Soccer. I’m baffled as to how folks are giving this one star because every pick isn’t a winner. It’s a free app!! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review and your understanding! Glad you are enjoying our analysis and be sure to follow us on social media to keep up to date with Pickswise Nation! ### 5/5 — Good App *2022-10-04, version 1.31.0* My review is based on the nfl and college football! The picks aren’t 100% of course but they are good! Since it’s free the picks are great!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
