### 5/5 — Huge update! Fantastic!

*2026-03-05*

The recent update is phenomenal. 

Many bugs fixed, including saving photos of standings/brackets, adding back name-changing mid-season (great for manually adding seeds).

Finally fixed playoff matchups to reflect proper seedings (1 vs. lowest seed, rather than 1v4, 5v8, 9v12, etc. like it used to be)

Added support for byes! HUGE! Thank you!!!!! 

Suggestion for dev: Add option to have playoff seedings show! Being able to manually add them is nice, but it would be great if we could have it added automatically, so it shows the ranking come playoff time. Or even midseason.

Another suggestion: Skip rest of schedule and "start playoff with standings as is"

Another suggestion: "copy WITH schedule and WITHOUT results", and "copy WITH schedule and WITH results"

Keep up the great work. Please don't make any updates that nuke what we currently have!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the frustration. A bug in our in-app purchase system temporarily affected access for users with previous purchases — it was fixed within two days of being noticed.

### 1/5 — A shell of its former self

*2026-02-19, version 1.9993*

This used to be free, have no ads, and locked nothing behind a paywall.

Now I'm forced to pay a monthly subscription just so I can make any kind of complex tournament. And they used AI for every last illustration for no reason.

This app is awful. Please, revert the changes!!!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-02-12, version 1.9992*

I love it! Almost perfect, you should just add a way when you copy the tournaments to have the updated pictures as well, maybe link the users of the tournaments so when you change the picture it change everywhere! Also, if it was possible to have a player profile, for exemple how many wins, points scored, biggest win biggest lost, etc else than that its amazing!

### 1/5 — The Worst App i Ever Tried.

*2025-11-12, version 1.9991*

Look, the app is an absolute disappointment and incredibly frustrating. They have taken an idea that could have been great and have strangled it into a practically useless tool unless you give them your wallet.

It is obvious that his strategy is pure greed. They have limited the base product in such an insulting way that it seems that they don’t even want you to use the application if you don’t pay. The paywall they have put with the blessed Premium option is not an improvement, it is a prison for functionalities that should be standard.

How do they come up with the idea of launching an application to manage tournaments where you can’t customize anything? I mean, what kind of tournament manager is this? I can’t touch the group stages, I can’t adjust the elimination rounds, the final is the one they decide and period. It’s as if they sold you a car, but you couldn’t choose the route, the destination, or the speed. They have given you a prefabricated box that only serves for a single type of generic and boring tournament that surely no one wants to do.

And the worst, what really shows the lack of knowledge or the shameless intention to limit, is that you can’t add a simple game for third place. Really? It is a basic, fundamental characteristic, expected in ninety percent of sports competitions. Blocking something so elementary only tells me one thing: that they are rationing every possible function, no matter how small, in the hope that frustration will force you to pay for the Premium subscription. It’s a creepy and dishonest commercial technique that completely ruins the experience. In summary, the application is useless unless you pay, and the mere fact that you force me to pay for the most basic customization makes me prefer to go back to paper and pencil rather than continue using this limited garbage.

### 5/5 — Problem z ilością grup

*2025-11-03, version 1.9991*

Nie można zrobić jak kiedyś 3 grup na przykład . Są opcje 2 lub 4 prośba o pomoc z tym

### 3/5 — Since the Bug the app doesn’t show a variety of options any

*2025-10-01, version 1.9991*

I don’t know why but the app seems to not be showing me a variety of options any more since the bug has been fixed.

### 3/5 — Can’t update teams photos and names

*2025-08-27*

I used to be able to edit team photos and names during a tournament now I can’t do either. Any way we can fix this bug

### 3/5 — No longer let’s you randomise scores

*2025-06-24, version 1.999*

No longer let’s you randomise scores

### 5/5 — Can not edit players names and pictures while the tour is running. This is sad.

*2025-06-12, version 1.997*

Can not edit players names and pictures while the tour is running in the FREE VERSION. This is sad. 

Please take a look.

### 3/5 — Every update seems to nuke the app

*2025-06-09*

This is a solid app most of the time.  I just wish the developer would test his updates properly before releasing them. Every update seems to destroy the functionality of the app, and nukes tournaments you have saved. 

This update:
Randomizing remaining games doesn't just randomize games with no scores, it actually randomizes finished matches. And there's no going back, so the tournament has been ruined.

"Ongoing" feature is broken, doesn't impact anything. Useless. 

Suggestion: Make a "Save As" option for tournaments. So whenever there's an update, we can try using a duplicate tourney to test it out, so you don't lose everything.
