Free to play and I had a shot at winning 25K last week. I don’t know another app that allows you do do that. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-11-01, version 3.1* I mean it does exactly what it says it does. Like you log on for free and guess the teams hoping to make money. Idk what could be better than that! ### 5/5 — Great idea *2020-10-13, version 2.3* Barstool never seems to fail at evolving and improving. This was an amazing idea and it’s so much fun. I try to watch every stream, I love this company and everyone who works here. ### 5/5 — love it. i’ll take the over on “Likes” *2020-09-10, version 2.0* finally a fun fantasy game that doesn’t feel like it was made in a lab somewhere ### 5/5 — Can't wait for the sportsbook *2020-09-03, version 1.1* Very well designed app. When the sportsbook goes online, then goes national... this is going to be the biggest book in the word. Good job Hank! ### 5/5 — Fun app that’s free! *2020-09-02, version 1.1* Fun to do a little gambling without spending any money. Chances you win aren’t too high, but it’s just fun to be a part of it and have something to root for! ### 5/5 — BarLove *2020-09-01, version 1.1* When was the last time you got to invest in your favorite podcast? I’m incredibly thankful for Hank and PMT for getting this app out and to the lovely AWLs ### 5/5 — Pure entertainment *2020-08-25, version 1.1* You get to watch idiots play simple games and argue with each other about rules. Can’t ask for more than that. Oh ya you can win money. ### 5/5 — 🔥🔥🔥 no cap *2020-08-24, version 1.1* Love watching a non-athletic thicc version of Shaun White play a nerd with Steph Curry’s ankles in ping pong with absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. Incredible Portnoy’s illiterate nephew was able to come up with this. ### 5/5 — Absolutely amazing *2020-08-19, version 1.1* First time experience with betting and already addicted, as everything bartstool does professional design with satire comedy and big personalities ### 5/5 — Super Inpressive *2020-08-19, version 1.1* I am super impressed with the quick response and the updating in this app. It did not crash and held live scoring update very professionally. Also the fact that you can watch live on this app is very impressive. Great job barstool, great success! ### 5/5 — Cool idea *2020-08-19, version 1.1* The format of the app and the overall functioning of it is great, but I feel like you should incorporate some actually sports betting into the app. I’m not a huge fan of betting on people playing jenga as it is extremely luck-based and not that exciting. I hope you have these plans in the near future as this could be a top tier app. ### 5/5 — Genius *2020-08-18, version 1.1* This has to be the best app ever created. Honk is the greatest mind since Ediso...sorry since Tesla. Athletes at peak performance, and being able to pick your winners... and win money?! Who would have thought this was a good idea? Hank did. That’s who. Genius. ### 5/5 — Awesome concept and execution *2020-08-17, version 1.1* The fact that in a time of limited sports availability and many gambling option being limited that someone came up with a free pick-em system that people can join and participate in for free. I hope this concept is successful, the people behind its design deserve to be rewarded. With well regards, a Californian dying from gambling withdrawals ### 5/5 — 4 hours *2020-08-17, version 1.1* I have a hard time getting my erection to go down when I’m on this app. I should call my doctor. ### 5/5 — More entertaining than television *2020-08-17, version 1.1* These guys just know how to put on a show. Funny content always, free and you can win $500 ### 5/5 — Won on the first stream *2020-08-14, version 1.1* Just a fun app. Only two recommendations: (1) adding the order of the players (for jenga) and which corresponding block that each player would lose on, and (2) adding the rules into the app. I honestly just randomly guessed Mush and 31 on the last game and somehow won without knowing the order but I can see how it may be annoying going into the stream with a pick that has no chance of losing after getting past the first two matches. Anyways, congrats to Hank for somehow making a retirement home game an engaging experience and thanks to Don for being so clutch. I am $71 richer. ### 5/5 — Hanky does it again *2020-08-13, version 1.1* This app is such a fun tile, with 0 funds required to join in on the fun! I wish there was a head to head mode almost like a draft kings option to really getting betting involved! I’m sure this app will continue to progress as belly football’s belly has over the years! ### 5/5 — It’s working fine so far *2020-08-11, version 1.1* Everything is working more then fine and super easy to sing up, not to mention it’s free ### 5/5 — ATTN: All AWLS, B.C, PFT and Hank *2020-08-10, version 1.1* My high school friends and I have remained a close knit group over the past 8 years. As we've grown older the dynamic of group has gone through phases, some better than others. Recently due to quarantine we’ve been exclusively hanging in our small group of 7, and the trend has been to get wasted together after work, rinse and repeat. This wasn’t a problem until two of our friends, let’s call them Garrett and Christina, decided to start casually sleeping together. Under normal circumstances this would be totally fine, however it just so happens that Christina is the ex one of our other friends. On top of this, Garrett has been looking to close with one of the other ladies in the group on the weekends when we drink. He has even gone so far as to try to get this girl to break up with her current boyfriend or at the very least cheat on him. At what point do we as friends need to ask him to tone down his ‘pursuit of happiness’. We love to see our boy pitch all 9 innings but when you’re up on the Mets is it better to just save his arm? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5* *2022-03-28, version 7.4* Incredibly interactive app. Well built, excellent look and simple to navigate. ### 5/5 — Barstools *2022-03-13, version 7.4* I like it a lot and it’s easy to view and place bet on this apps.

Why not download and tell your friends about it? Thank You Barstool! ### 5/5 — Good App *2021-09-04, version 5.5* I just downloaded the app and saw the pigskin parlay contest. I entered and made my picks but the last one was to guess the exact correct score. I think that is almost impossible. How about keep it all ATS picks 😀 ### 5/5 — A review from a future employee *2021-05-29, version 5.1* Dave, if you see this please hire me. I love everything sports and everything about barstool. This app made by Honk Lockwood is amazing. ### 5/5 — Finally!! *2021-05-16, version 5.1* An app that functions properly. Not yet had any issues with functionality. I expect that will continue as this company is how they all should modeled. Thank you. ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2021-03-24, version 4.2* This app is so fun. Doesn’t cost you anything to enter and you get to follow some interesting content. ### 5/5 — Barstool does it all *2021-02-19, version 4.1* The app runs perfectly, never have a problem with it crashing like a a lot other big companies apps do. Simple and easy to use as well. ### 5/5 — It’s fun *2020-12-31, version 3.4* Pretty fun and easy to make picks. Something super casual that could make you money (If you get lucky) would recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
