Best app for free pick’em pools

No other app offers the same level of features for free. The paid features are also great. You’d have to pay a lot more with other apps to get the same level of custom options. Unlimited players and great support too.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed review. We’re glad that you’re really enjoying our app!

Wishy washy set up for confidence picks and App ads content can be unsuitable for children

The app is poorly designed when using confidence levels: very cumbersome to arrange picks in order of confidence - often the confidence order or team selection gets messed up when trying to select or move teams around, even worse when trying to enter the confidence order through the pull down menu. Second the app defaults the first game to the highest confidence. If you happen to have an issue where you can’t enter your picks, you are automatically and unreasonably penalized heavily. Third the tie breaker scores sometimes do not stick so you are MASSIVELY penalized at a completely unreasonable level, making me rage quit the app.
Fourth and more concerning, the ad content can sometime be of questionable nature, sometimes unsuitable for children!
Fifth, there should be an autosave, because if you navigate away from it, it dumps your entries making users start again.

We’re sorry you had a poor experience with confidence points. This was the first year we offered that feature and we know it can be improved. We will take your feedback into consideration when we make updates for this feature next season. As for the age concerns with ads, it’s important to note that our app is not intended for under-age players, and that’s made clear in the age settings when downloading the app. We may look into offering a more kid friendly version but that’s just not our target market for this version of the app.

Pretty straightforward forward to use but could be better

Using the app on the phone it’s too easy to accidentally remove a pick while scrolling. Should also show you how many picks you’ve made vs how many games there are (11 of 14 games picked)

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. We will look into your suggestion for a future update.

Does not remind you that games are starting. So you lose you pick because you busy with life

Should really add notifications for this app

Ok

It works but on more than one occasion I’ve made picks or entered scores and they didn’t save. So you have to double check every time before games start. And it hasn’t just happened to me it’s happened to almost everyone on my league so…

Response from developer

Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you and players in your league are having trouble saving picks. If you reach out to support we can help try to figure out what’s going on with your league specifically. It’s not a common issue but it does happen and there’s usually a specific reason why.

Not Clear

I tried to register for the grand prize but couldn’t because the procedure is not clear.

Pro Pick’em

I like this app because it allows you to have fun while being competitive. It also helps you keep track of the scores and winners to different sport games. I enjoy playing it and having fun with collaborating with others and having fun. One of my personal favorite parts is its ability to keep you caught up in athletic games. Over all it helps you to have social connections with people and helps you keep track of all the different sport games while competing with others.

App doesn’t match website

The picks on the app don’t/match my picks on the website. It’s essentially useless

Update, support walked me through stuff, it was my bad. App is working well now

Response from developer

Thanks for the updated review. We appreciate it and we’re always here to help!

Playing by myself

Last year worked great. This year I created a league, payed for admin fee. I can’t invite players (button doesn’t work on app or computer browser). And it doesn’t show a league ID, just league name so players can’t input it.

Response from developer

Hello, Please reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help you get set up. We’re not sure why the invite link doesn’t work on some devices but we’re looking into alternatives to make it easier. In the mean time you can just send an email to whoever you want to invite and provide them with the League ID and league password.

Solid App

It does a great job for a simple friend group pick sheet interface.

I’d love to be able to have an option for a one time pay to remove the ads, though. Ads drive me nuts.

Response from developer

Thanks for the suggestion. We are considering adding an in-app purchase option to remove ads for a relatively low subscription fee.

Confused

I’m looking for an app to pick games, my friends. And I was just on the app looking around. When are the games start picking?

Response from developer

We are working on a ton of new updates, including new sports and games, so we’re a little behind on getting this years NFL schedule loaded. It will be loaded within the next 2 weeks.

Pretty good, but..

I wish there was a DarkMode on this app…
Other than that, prettt easy to use and straight forward.

I’ve tried most of the popular pick’em apps and this one is the best

I’ve been using Pro Pick’em for years and no other app beats the features and game types this app has. It’s free too! It does have in-app purchases for additional admin options but it’s only $5 for the season and not required to play or set up leagues.

I especially love the sportsbook game. It helps me see what a terrible gambler I am without losing any real money 😂

App not saving picks

Two separate times the app failed to save my pics. Not only that, this app is cheap and has a amateur design. Would not recommend

It’s decent

It’s kinda convenient but it should lock in the picks on Thursday and let you view everybody’s picks each week

Admin Controls?

What are the admin controls are activated when you buy the $4.99 pass?

Response from developer

The Admin Controls gives you more options over how you manage players in your league and it adds a couple of other options as well. We’ll be adding new features over time, but for now you can: Manually add/remove players Manage player picks after a week ends in the event players didn’t get their picks in or had technical issues Confirm that players meet your personal league rules. Hide pick distribution percentage if you want. And add custom league messages for all your players that will always remain in view if you add a message.

Fun! Free

But why does the (tb1 tb2 tb3) columns mean in the scores in your league. We play straight up wins/losses. I thought it meant tie breaker but that makes no sense given the negative numbers. Can anyone explain what those mean???

Response from developer

Hello, thanks for the feedback. You’re right. tb1, tb2, and tb3 are tiebreakers. The reason they are negative numbers is because they are tied to scores and how far off your guess is from those scores. For example, a tb1 score of 0 means you would have guessed the combined score of the last game exactly. A tb1 score of -10 would mean your guess was 10 points off. So the player closest to 0 will always win the tiebreaker. You can read more about tiebreakers under the league rules sections of the app.

Inviting friends

It won’t allow me to click invite. Do you have to pay 4.99 for the season for admin to invite friends?

Pickum champ

My family have been picking games for years, writing them down each week but my kids found this app and we love it, cannot wait until next season .

Response from developer

Thanks for the great review. Happy to hear your family is enjoying it!

Includes complete season thru the Super Bowl

Great app for the crew! And yes, the app developers even contacted me back, this app does include the playoffs along with the regular season.

Response from developer

Thanks for the updated feedback! We appreciate it.
