### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-03-17, version 4.12*

Perfect app for people who love sports inside and out. Gives you options to rate and talk about any game of your choice. Amazing app and amazing people to work with!

### 5/5 — New leagues

*2026-03-10, version 4.10*

Would love if there was champions league and Motorsport races as well

### 5/5 — Great app I hope only improves

*2026-02-28*

I really enjoy this app. I think it helps you keep track of games you’ve watched and have takes on.
Needs a couple small improvements I hope it gets in time. 
One I think it really needs improvement on is the daily Streak system. It doesn’t make sense. I only add to my streak in I believe a 6 hour window. Like 6pm to midnight. Anywhere after or before it just doesn’t count for whatever reason. I just don’t get why it isn’t actually on the 24 hour day of posting a review.

Another thing is I hope it gets more leagues. Like the NLL and PLL would be great. The AHL and ECHL for more hockey. Even the UFL would be cool. But I hope that all comes in time.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for this feedback! You actually identified a problem with our streak system and we've since fixed it so it aligns with the timeframe you mentioned. I hope you've been rating games with us in the meantime and are on a new rate streak by now! We will continue to add leagues until we have them all. The NLL and PLL are candidly a little ways away but we'll get there eventually! -Nick@rategame.io-

### 5/5 — Refreshing and Rewarding

*2026-02-24*

A complete cleanse for the dopamine and serotonin receptors, this app is analog in a way that feels more like OG twitter and less like a toxic algorithm trained to zap whatever’s left of your attention span with AI slop. Real sports fans are rating games with their real opinions in this community. Really. I feel more knowledgeable and less anxious every time I read some takes and rate some games. Great stuff. Thanks for going against the grain!

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-02-23, version 4.05*

Underrated app! Amazing experience if your an avid sports fan. It’s simple to use and easy to find other fans to connect with. Ran by even better people

### 5/5 — great app!

*2026-02-04, version 4.02*

could use more football leagues like mls but overall a very good app

### 5/5 — Super cool

*2026-01-27, version 4.00*

Been waiting for something like this for a while. Awesome app with great UI and devs are really responsive.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-01-25, version 3.98*

Really fun way to rate games you’ve watched, addicting..

### 5/5 — Best and Most Fun Sports App

*2026-01-21*

The premise is simple: watch any sports game, give it a score, write a review, and pick a player of the game. In practice, it’s SO much more. It’s you and countless others diving deeper into the sports teams and games you love. With the ability to chat with other fans, pick (and change) your favorite teams, and incentives such as a RateGame Score weekly score board, you’ll be coming to RateGame habitually. This is my favorite app on my phone. I love it SO much and cannot recommend it enough.

**Developer response:** Wow!! Thank you so much for this. Reviews like this is exactly why RateGame exists. You nailed it: at the surface it’s a rating app, but at its core RateGame is about experiencing sports together and building a personal record of the games, teams, and moments that shape your fandom over time. It’s a place to chronicle your life in sports; the highs, the heartbreaks, the debates, and the shared joy - alongside others who care just as deeply. Thanks for spreading the word and for being a part of the community!! -nick@rategame.io-

### 5/5 — Great Sports Tracker, Letterboxd for sports

*2026-01-19*

Very good concept, just what I was looking for to track sports games I’ve watched, how I felt about them, what I’ll remember about them. Has a good community in it. The developers are always adding more, and I’m glad I hopped on as early as I did. Hopefully will be using this for years to come. The UI is quite intuitive and clear. Pretty much never run across any bugs, and for a small development team like this, it’s pretty impressive.

### 5/5 — Most Underrated Sports App

*2026-01-04*

Not only can you rate games (which no other sports app has), but you can leave takes and talk to a small community dedicated to sports that leave real ratings and takes. You can also compete on leaderboards and complete achievements. It includes pretty much every major sport including college sports and women’s sports. It’s a very underrated and simple sports app that I would recommend every sports fan should have.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this thorough review. You're spot on in your analysis; we're a small but mighty sports community. So please spread the word - we need more sports fans like yourself to join us!! -Nick@rategame.io -

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-12-28, version 3.91*

This app has been fantastic! Super fun and 11/10 community! I recommend this app to anyone and everyone who is a sports fan. Very well done.

### 5/5 — App needs more attention

*2025-12-24*

I usually don’t leave app reviews, but I wanted to take the time to review this one. This app is outstanding. I’m very surprised it only has 10k downloads all time! It’s a very fun engaging app if you’re a sports head. The community is great as well! It’s pretty small as of now, so you can chat with a lot of familiar sports heads.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much Erod and please keep spreading the good word! The world needs more sports heads like you and it goes without saying so does RateGame! - Nick -

### 5/5 — GOAT Sports App

*2025-12-24*

When I initially downloaded this app, I was really just looking for an app to track how many games I watch outta curiosity, but RateGame changed how I view sports entirely. It forces me to watch more analytically focused and my ball knowledge has greatly increased because of it. If you’re talking ball with people and find yourself making lame obvious statements like “that jokic sure keeps doing his thing huh” download RateGame and watch your ball knowledge increase.

I’ve only been on the app for a year and have watched the app become more popular, smoother running, and more detailed. Download and hop on the rocketship🚀

**Developer response:** Thanks so much and so glad to have you onboard!! Love that the community has inspired you to step up your game. Some of the best insight I've seen. Here's to many more years to come!!

### 5/5 — Peak

*2025-12-24, version 3.91*

This is a great app, really got me into watching more sports and all the features make it really nice.

### 5/5 — one of the best apps of all time

*2025-12-23, version 3.91*

Simply amazing, interface is very user friendly, and an app that organizes all of your thoughts, opinions, and takes into one amazing app. Must have for ANY true sports fan, also caters to a lot of leagues too!

### 1/5 — Best Sports App!

*2024-10-23, version 3.12*

Rate Game offers true sports enthusiasts a refreshing way to engage with the game beyond just watching, without having to risk the mortgage each time. It’s pure, old-fashioned sports at its core. For sports fans by sports fans. #fsfbsf

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-07, version 3.83*

It won’t let me rate or do anything it tells me to make a account I do. But over and over it says make an account.

### 2/5 — Barely Works

*2024-08-08*

When I try to navigate to the rate menu the screen goes black and I can’t use the app. This happens more often than not, stability is a major problem.

**Developer response:** Really sorry this keeps happening. Are you able to update the latest release to 3.0? We just pushed this to production yesterday and the crashing issue and overall stability of the app has seen a dramatic improvement. Please email me at Nick@rategame.io so I can personally diagnose this issue and solve this for you!

### 3/5 — It’s good, but it has its issues

*2024-07-27*

App crashes when I try to rate a game sometimes, which prevents me from using it for days at a time. Eventually it fixes itself but I have no clue what causes this.

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry this bug/issue has prevented you from Rating games. We just released 2.18 which should've fixed this. Please reach out to me at any time if it's still crashing on you. My name is Nick and I'm the one responsible: nick@rategame.io - sincerely appreciate this feedback and hope to hear from you!

### 4/5 — Alright but much room improvement

*2026-03-17, version 4.12*

Rarely make reviews but the concept of the app is really good. Still pretty unfinished though. Largest factor being no game for any sport before 2024 exists on the app. Also not being able to add my favorite teams or games to profile

### 4/5 — Cool, but not much purpose.

*2026-02-20, version 4.05*

I love the app, love the idea, I hope it does well. I just don't know what the point is. There is an excellent foundation, but the developers really need to add some kind of "gamification" to make the app really do well.

### 4/5 — Missing just one thing!

*2026-01-19, version 3.96*

This app is pretty perfect other than it’s missing women’s college basketball. I’d love to rate Notre Dame @ Connecticut this evening. Besides that it’s a really cool app I’ll be using for years to come.

### 4/5 — Add College Hockey

*2025-03-28, version 3.37*

I love this app. It’s a great way to express how I feel on sports. I just have one suggestion. I think you guys should add College Hockey next year. I know I can’t be the only one who would want this. College hockey is so good.  The atmosphere and passion of college sports is insane. Please bring this to the app. I beg to bring college hockey. Please.

### 4/5 — Rate Game rocks

*2025-03-08, version 3.32*

Rate Game is great for sport fanatics, remember the good the bad and the ugly. My only message to the executives of this app is, I would love if you added more leagues, like Bundesliga, international soccer, FA Cup, and Please please please add USL!

### 4/5 — Great app…but

*2025-02-16, version 3.30*

Love the concept and small
Community so far but wish they would
Add international competition like four nations hockey tournament which had an epic game last night.

### 5/5 — Already incredible

*2026-07-15, version 4.42*

I’ve always loved tracking what I do or enjoy, Letterboxd, last.fm, etc., and I’ve long-awaited a sports equivalent to track how many games I’ve watched or attended, and this scratches the itch! Sky’s the limit as more leagues and events get added.

### 5/5 — Finally a Letterbox’d for Sports with NO GAMBLING SLOP

*2026-06-20*

I’m a huge letterbox’d user and I have been looking for something like it for sports (my first love) I’m very pleased to say that not only does RateGame fulfill that need it goes above and beyond just rating games. There’s challenges to partake in like the World Cup pick em challenge im currently in, there’s an awesome live chat that is fun to be a part of during games. There’s really cool achievements you can get and so much more like writing did you knows on sports and players and teams. I can go on! But perhaps the best thing about rate game is the fact that there is literally nooooo gambling slopppp anywhereeeee. The community doesn’t talk about it there’s no ads on it, I’m shocked at how RateGame has managed to maintain such a positive space considering how sports gambling has taken over sports. Grateful to have found this app and community and congrats to the team behind it. Big fan!

### 5/5 — Makes watching games extra fun

*2026-06-17, version 4.35*

This app has made watching the World Cup extra fun! It’s also so much easier to follow the game schedules on here than the fifi app

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-06-15*

This app is amazing with a great community, and should definitely be more popular than it is. From being able to choose your favourite teams, to having live game chat where you can celebrate or cry with others, it makes the app experience so much better than other sports apps!

### 5/5 — 👍

*2026-05-30, version 4.30*

awesome app

### 5/5 — the next great interactive community sports app

*2026-05-25*

i never ever write reviews but this app and the fantastic people that run it, at the very least deserve a couple minutes for me to ramble about how great this thing that they got going is. 

if there was a way to exceed the five star rating limit they have, I would for this app and give it double. the layout is simple and very user friendly which allows you to find and access all of the features available on this app very easily. the community is very open and lightening, there is almost always people talking about any sport you could think of (because they have just about everything) and it’s a place where everyone feels allowed to share there own personal opinions/takes without being criticized. lastly i want to share how incredible the team is that makes this engine run. these people are actively in the community space and continuously LISTEN and make changes that make this apps experience better. always making each individual person feel noticed and welcomed as well right off the jump. 

there are many other things i could point out and say about how great this app is and why I believe it succeeds it’s competitors. but that’s not the point nor the goal of the people running this platform. there goal is creating a community and space where sports fanatics of any kind can get together and express there passion and love for the art of sport and they are succeeding in creating that space in every level. 

get ahead of the curve and experience it for yourself.

🦉❤️

**Developer response:** Kaden! This might be the nicest thing anyone's written about RateGame. You nailed exactly what we're building: a place where any fan can share a take without getting dunked on. We're not going anywhere, and we're going to keep listening. Thank you for being part of it. 🦉❤️ -Nick@rategame.io-

### 5/5 — Best Sports App I’ve Found

*2026-05-12*

I wish I would have found this sooner, but glad I did. Have always wanted a community of sports fans to talk with and an alternative for the crazy world of sports betting right now. Sports have gotten back to their essence of when I was a kid thanks to this, would recommend to anybody!

**Developer response:** Fed! This is exactly why we built RateGame, for sports the way they felt when we were kids, minus the betting noise. So glad you found us. Welcome to the community, and thanks so much for spreading the word!! -Nick@rategame.io-

### 5/5 — Great App, pics on reviews

*2026-05-12*

As an avid Letterboxd user I was always waiting for something like that for sports. It takes that original idea, but expands upon it in a creative way. I love the stadium and motm features. Something I’d love to see added is the ability to upload a photo (or more or a video) on a review; I feel like this would add more to the personalization especially when attending a game. I pray this doesn’t fall to the money-grabbing nature most apps fall to; adding new features under a subscription is fine, but please don’t make current features sub-only 🙏🙏

**Developer response:** Love this Rafiki! The Letterboxd-for-sports comparison is the highest compliment. Photos/video on reviews (especially when you're at the game) is something we genuinely want to build. And to your bigger point: we hear you loud and clear; we're not going to lock existing features behind a paywall. That's a promise 🙏🫡 - Nick@rategame.io-

### 5/5 — Add

*2026-03-24, version 4.15*

Very great concept I’m definitely going to use this after watching games. It would be great if you could add more games from the past and especially more ⚽️ like serie a, bundesliga and the main big leagues

### 5/5 — Best Sports App There Is

*2026-03-20, version 4.14*

I find myself in watching the entire game more and am eager to watch games to I can use this app.
