## Most critical reviews (6 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-06-17*

It won’t let me populate the fields. I already have the prize fund amount. I just need it to give me the percentages. Is anyone out there?

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-03-06*

Someone recommended this app to help with running tournaments. What a waste of $2. I can figure this out in my head or using a calculator. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — No flexibility

*2024-10-02*

This App does not let you pick the percentages each team or person is to get . This App does not cover many “Prize Fund” options for dividing up money between teams let alone if you needed to hand out individual accomplishments. One option makes a terrible prize fund

### 3/5 — A Good Starting Point

*2022-02-03, version 2*

What like is that the app gives one a good starting point on the amounts to be awarded 

But, there are a few things that need work/added/clarified

1) The the final winner doesn’t receive at least his entry fee back - i.e. 45 entries at $20, round robin, 15 places only gets $18

2) An explanation of the differences between round robin vs. single and double elimination.  The differences weren’t obvious to me

3) Since I paid for the app,  there shouldn’t be any advertisements.  Maybe a free version with the ads?

4). An option to send the results to a printer or/and save them

5) While the dollar amounts (rounded) add up to the total amount of the payouts the percentages don’t.

I know that lots of work went into this app, but honestly, I think it’s an unfinished product

**Developer response:** Thank you so very much for the excellent comments and I agree with them wholeheartedly. It's a very long story, but I've been struggling with the iPhone version of this app. Once I get through this, I will attempt to get ALL your suggestions implemented. Thank you again.

### 5/5 — Great app for quick math

*2022-06-21*

I run a disc golf Dubs league. This thing is genius for pay out. 👍

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-04-08*

Easy to use
