### 3/5 — Cool app, but parts of it have never worked

*2021-11-11*

The apps cool. But things don't work. The app crashes or freezes. NBA player props haven't worked since i downloaded this last NBA season. Every time “cannot submit picks on a game that has already started”…on games that definitely aren't even close to starting

### 2/5 — Was great now bugs

*2021-09-09*

The app had lots of cool contests for awhile. Now Bugs like “unable to place bet game has started” when the game has clearly not started and is hours or days away

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2021-02-11*

Just started using, glitchy when making picks. When I select a winner, it doesn’t always show up in the active/current bet tab

### 2/5 — App has bugs

*2021-02-06*

The app does everything I need it to do, except for load. If you click on certain things, you will have to watch the loading circle for five minutes. If you want to use the app just to track your own bets, it’s bearable. If you want to tail someone else’s bets, it’s very difficult. If you want to browse and do multiple things, it’s unbearable. The streak feature is cool but it’s not a reason I use the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to rate our app. We are always working to improve the user experience and will take your feedback in to consideration.

### 2/5 — “Open bets”

*2020-02-23*

Okay this app is the best idea ever. Everything on it is what I want in a betting app. I would honestly give it 6 stars out of 5. HOWEVER when going to someone’s profile off the leaderboard and selecting “open bets” the app just freezes every time. This is perhaps the most important aspect of this app and it doesn’t even work. Smdh. Ppl want to see others picks BEFORE they happen so they can tail them. Isn’t that the point? Otherwise who cares if someone is on a 21-0 run if you can’t see their picks until it’s too late.... FIX THIS PLEASE.

**Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. This was a bug that happened when the user didn't have any open bets. Just fixed it and it will be in the next update.

### 1/5 — Cant Sign up

*2019-08-18, version 1.2.5*

I’m not sure if this is a bug, but it wont let me sign up. It just says “registering” and wont do anything

### 3/5 — Good app but room for improvement

*2019-07-13*

Great idea for an app. Love testing out new betting strategies.

There seems to be an issue with getting the betting feed to display all the bets made that day. It only displays some and then skips past to the previous day.

Would be great also if the betting feed could be filtered by sport, type of bet and user.

### 1/5 — This app keeps crashing

*2019-04-05*

This app is fun when it works but it usually crashes when opening. You need to check the app a few times a day in order to find a time when the app won’t crash. It would be nice to also be able to make the picks on a website so when the app crashes we can still make picks. If they fix the crashing probably this would be a 5 star app!

**Developer response:** We were able to identify the bug and have pushed a fix on the crashes, it's now good to go! Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-04-04, version 1.1.5*

Crashes everytime I tried it useless

### 1/5 — Crash

*2019-03-12*

Every single time I have went to open this app it has crashed so it doesn’t even give me a chance to use it. Very annoying. Thought I would wait it out and try the next day and still consistently crashes every time I open it. What a joke

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I would recommend deleting and reinstalling the app, but I'll pass this along to our team.

### 2/5 — Slow to update after picks close

*2018-10-27*

Not sure if it is still testing for IOS. The App does not update picks very quickly. Some bugs just during general use. Picks not saving, lines not updating when lines change.

### 1/5 — Scam artist

*2021-11-22*

What a terrible app! They cheat you out of wins so they won’t have to pay out, a few days ago i bet twolves -1.5 over the grizzles they blew them out, on the site they have it marked as a PUSH. Then today, i bet Warriors -8 over Toronto and they covered and now my bet has conveniently disappeared. Don’t waste your time with them.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2021-11-20*

It does not work whatsoever. Every time I try to make a bet it takes forever to load and it does not lock in by bet at all. I have to do it more than once in order to make my bet. I should not have to do that. I should only have to do it once and it’s in. Either fix this app now or I will delete it and I will never use it again. It is a garbage app

### 1/5 — This app has been abandoned

*2021-10-30*

Takes forever to load, contests seem gone, no recent updates, social media accounts dead. Time to delete this app.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2021-05-31, version 1.4.6*

Can’t make an account, it loads forever .... and ever.

### 1/5 — Promising but buggy

*2021-05-22, version 1.4.6*

App always crashes. I can’t delete or edit bets. My locked bet is listed as “open” despite the game taking placeon 8/14 so I cannot participate in the contest (help!). It often gives me the wrong side of the bet I chose. It’s a disaster. Nevertheless it has potential if they could fix the bugs and allow people to edit bets.

My lock bet has been stuck for weeks so I cannot lock in any bets.

*App was updated and my pick is still locked months later. Such a waste!! (Updated 5/22/2021)

### 1/5 — Winning Bets Don’t Register

*2021-04-10, version 1.4.6*

I won a bet about 3 weeks ago and it still hasn’t registered making it so I can’t even make any other bets.

### 1/5 — What app takes minutes to load?

*2021-02-13*

I am pretty sure it is 2021. So, why does it take this app minutes upon minutes to load?  If I was a real bettor, no chance I would just this app until fixed.

### 1/5 — App is awful

*2020-09-16*

The idea and concept is great, but the app itself is hot garbage. Rarely does it show the correct streak, usually doesn’t show all of the games that you’ve locked, and there’s no way to prove what you’ve locked in the app.

**Developer response:** I've passed this along to the app development team, thanks for the feedback.

### 1/5 — How to delete bets before game lock?

*2020-03-04, version 1.3.8*

Fist time using app I tried to cancel my bet to choose another an hour before game lock.  the bet is locked.  How in the hell to I change my bet?

### 1/5 — Freezes during account creation

*2019-11-18*

Can’t even get the app to create an account, always freezes during sign-up

### 5/5 — This app has issues

*2020-03-09*

It’s okay I mean if you get a streak you will get it on FanDuel and all but if you bet a college game it takes forever for it to grade ! So you lucky to get one pick per night. On some occasions if your lucky and it’s an nba or nhl game it may get graded 1 hour after the game ends but mostly it takes 8 hours, meaning you just can’t place another streak bet until they grade it !

### 5/5 — App is terrible

*2019-10-06*

App doesn’t load profiles at all! I wait 30mins and still didn’t load my bets also doesn’t keep track of your bets or really do anything this app

### 5/5 — Good free app for betting practice

*2019-09-07*

Good free app. Trying to learn a little more about sports betting and this app helps me practice and it’s free. I like that. Love the contests. Hopefully soccer is added soon. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Couldn't agree more DeeMoney, a great free way to practice/track bets. I'll pass along the soccer request as well! Thanks for the kind words.

### 5/5 — Simple and fun!

*2019-09-02*

Simple to use with the swiping functionality and fun with all of the contests and leaderboards that are offered. Love the app!

### 5/5 — Solid App

*2019-02-14*

The app is smooth and runs well. Would be much much better if it allowed private customizable groups with leaderboards to compete against friends

**Developer response:** Great to hear that Ted, thanks for the positive review. I'll pass along your suggestion to the app dev team.

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2018-10-05*

I’ve just started getting in to sports-betting and this app is a perfect transition for me. I can track my betting record (on real or imaginary bets), give and get advice, and see how my record compares to others in the industry. It’s honestly the most fun app on my phone.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2018-10-05, version 1.0.2*

Very cool stuff. Love tracking my picks on this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing Sports Betting tool

*2018-09-26*

Perfect for tracking your performance, and seeing who is the best!

### 4/5 — Swipe picks left or right to make picks.

*2019-04-01*

Just getting started for the handicapper of month game.

**Developer response:** It's a lot of fun, enjoy!

### 4/5 — Still beta?

*2018-10-20*

Update: the update seems to have fixed the crashing, but I noticed some of my picks aren’t saved

Orig: I think it’s still in beta, but it’s kinda frustrating, keeps crashing after I go back from the game section, but it’s interesting so far
