### 1/5 — Not updated anymore

*2024-02-26*

This app is NOT updated any longer. Don’t buy it and DEFINITELY don’t pay for the monthly subscription. Has bugs with screenshotting pool names, it doubles names or jumbles them up so they aren’t accurate. It was a great idea, I have a pool of about 40 ppl but it no longer scans the latest lottery tickets any longer now either. PLEASE update the app and fix so my iPhone 14proMax can scan in tickets again, it worked (mostly, except for the screenshot glitch), when I first got it 2 years ago. Until they can update it and make it work fully, it’s only tracking names of ppl that pay. Not worth the money for the scan tickets feature until it works.

**Developer response:** Please upgrade.

### 2/5 — Not updated anymore

*2023-09-20*

### 1/5 — Decent scanning but app doesn’t know winning numbers day after drawing

*2023-08-02*

App takes forever to get winning numbers and I can’t add them manually so you have to manually check to see if you win.

**Developer response:** Please refresh the winning numbers by swiping down on screen.

### 1/5 — Scan Doesn’t Work

*2023-04-13*

I just bought my first license for the unlimited scanning. The scanning is hit or miss. After over 20 scans of 1 ticket with 5 numbers, only 3 numbers have been captured 1 or 2 at a time. Really?!

**Developer response:** Please send the ticket image to support@smartcaptainapp.com and the AI team will help you.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t scan properly

*2021-01-22*

I’m constantly having to go in and edit scans, than get told I’m out of “free scans” because it messed up and have to enter them manually

**Developer response:** Please send ticket images to support@smartcaptainapp.com so we may help you out.

### 3/5 — Good app, but..

*2020-08-16*

Good app but it’s for US Lotteries... 

If you could add the UK Lotteries then I’ll update my review

### 5/5 — Great Lotto tracker for groups

*2020-03-02*

This is a great tool for tracking lotto drawing games for groups of people pooling their funds for drawings.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-10-11*

If I try to change the state it force closes. Hopefully this is fixed soon because it seems useful.

**Developer response:** Please upgrade.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2017-11-30*

Very good app for lottery managers - makes it really easy to form groups with the clean and simple UI

### 4/5 — Easy to use!

*2017-11-29*

This lotto app is great because it's easy to use, but I just wish it came with a tutorial at the beginning. Can't wait to win my millions to split with my friends!
